On their way to the carriage, Madeline felt her head starting to feel dizzy as she had never felt before. She tried to make sure to keep her footsteps firm, and she cursed herself. To spite Calhoun, she had drunk everything from the glass but who would have thought that the alcohol would be this strong?
Calhoun who was walking behind Madeline couldn't stop the grin on his lips. He noticed how Madeline tried to walk straight, but somewhere after they stepped out of the castle, she had started to sway. The King was a sadist when it came to seeing the person who he loved struggle, wanting her to submit to him even if it was in the form of asking his help. He had his twisted ways and wanted her to want him.
Not to forget, it wasn't him who had told her to drink. Madeline had chosen to drink despite his warning.
