Chapter 183 - Do You Understand? (2) (1/2)

When the party was in full swing, Carlisle and Helen headed for the room upstairs. She had prepared the place in advance so that they wouldn’t be disturbed no matter what happened here. She expected to spend a very long night with him. Helen gave a secret smile at the thought.

“Your Highness, will you please take your jacket off?”

Carlisle removed it without a reply. Helen swallowed hard as she noticed his muscled form was hinted underneath his tight shirt.

“I’ll have it cleaned, so please wait here, Your Highness.”

She rushed outside the room with Carlisle’s jacket. Standing by the front door was Sarah, holding a tray of tea she had prepared. She had arrived at the party late and looked nervous, but Helen was so excited that she took no notice of it.

“I think the prince has fallen in love with me.”

“What?”

Despite Sarah’s confused reaction, Helen continued on ecstatically.

“Instead of getting angry when I spilled wine on him, he looked at me in the eyes, and then…he followed me here.”

“I see.”

Sarah’s reaction was more muted than usual, but Helen’s mood was soaring.

“Maybe I don’t even need to use what I’ve prepared.”

“So you’re not going to use it?”

“What are you saying! Of course with enough time he’ll come over to me, but I want him tonight.”

Helen turned over her wrist, spilling the aphrodisiac from the jeweled bracelet into the tea. Her eyes glistened greedily. Once Carlisle drank this, it would be all over. He would lust after her body like an animal, and Helen would be the poor young lady who was forced to lose her chastity to him. At that point, Carlisle would have no choice but to take responsibility. She had the backing of Marquis Selby and Empress Ophelia, and Carlisle would not be able to refuse her. And after entering the palace, perhaps she could poison Elena and take the position of Crown Princess one day.

‘It would be nice to have a child tonight…’

There would be no greater power than to bear Carlisle’s first child, and made sure to eat foods that promoted pregnancy. She smiled and took the tray from Sarah.

“You can go now. Keep an eye so that no one else comes here. Do you understand?”

“Yes.”

Sarah gave a nod. At any other time, her lukewarm reaction would be suspicious, but Helen simply smiled at the rosy future unfolding before her eyes. She entered back into the room where Carlisle was waiting, holding the tea with a brightened look on her face.

The time had finally arrived. However, Carlisle was simply sitting on an armchair looking bored. She admired the slender length of his crossed legs, but he looked completely uninterested in her entrance. She cleared her throat.

“Hmm mmm!”

Only at the noise did Carlisle’s blue eyes shift. He frowned at her and spoke.

“Did you go yet?”

“What?”

“Come back when the cleaning is done. Don’t bother me.”

“…!”

She was stunned speechless by his cold reaction. She thought they had a special connection. Helen’s expression began to wrinkle slowly.

“Your Highness, if you knew who I was, you would be ashamed by how I am being treated.”

An unfriendly light shone in Carlisle’s eyes.
