Chapter 100 What Really Happened 2 (1/2)

(Regaleon's POV)

”This smell!” I covered my nose with my hand quickly. But it was too late. I have inhaled some of the smoke.

”I have been waiting for you, your highness.” It was not Alicia's voice.

The woman seating in front of me turned around, it was Veronica.

'Dammit!' I cursed inside me. I let my guard down, thinking that if was Alicia in front of me.

Veronica stood up from where she was sitting. She was wearing an identical blue gown and a wig similar to the color of Alicia's hair.

”Do you like the smell of the fragrance, prince Regaleon?” Veronica opened the incense burner fully. The smoke coming from within intensified.

I can no longer block the smoke with my hand. Bit by bit I was inhaling the fragrance from the incense burner.

'Cough cough' The smell is fragrant but it was so strong that it hurt by throat and nostrils.

”What is this?” I asked. My body was starting to become hot. My heart beat was getting faster.

Veronica had a smile of satisfaction on her face. ”Can you feel it now prince, the effect of the drug?”

”What?!” I was not really surprised. If I am Veronica's target, then this drug she speaks of would be an aphrodisiac.

'But what kind of aphrodisiac is this?' I thought.

Since I was young, I have been served with many drugs, poisons and the likes. With the battle for the crown prince title, I have been poisoned so many times. My body has grown immune with most of the harmful drugs there is in this continent.

”I can feel it too, prince Regaleon.” Veronica said. ”My body is also getting hotter by the second. This drug that came from the east is so amazing. Coupled with incense that stimulates the body's carnal desires, it really is perfect.”

”From the east?” So this drug was really purchased from the merchants that came from across the sea to the east.

Veronica started to walk seductively towards me.

”Prince Regaleon, I can feel it now. My body is craving for your touch.” Veronica said with seduction.

Her words let me feel like I wanted to puke. Just thinking that a girl like her lusts for me, sickens me to the bones.

”Do you think with this drug, I would be attracted to you?” I looked at her with disgust and hatred. Veronica shuddered when she caught my gaze.

”Hah, dream on!” I shouted. ”You are unworthy to be beside me, let alone be my princess consort. That place is for Alicia, and Alicia alone.”

The heat of my body just elevated the anger that I am feeling right now.

My arms extended and my hand encircled her slim throat. With the anger I was feeling, my hand squeezed her little neck.

”P-prince, cough cough.” Veronica was looking at me with fear in her eyes. ”P-Please... don't...cough.”

Her pleading just made me sick. After doing such a thing, to me the crown prince of Grandcrest. She should have expected that I won't let her keep her life.

”Cough cough, save me...anyone...please...save...cough.” Veronica's pleas became weak while I was squeezing her fragile little neck.

Seeing her struggling wasn't enough. My anger was to the point that I want to break all of her bones. I want to see her in agony.

”Your tried to plan against this crown prince?! It's too early for you to try and scheme against me!” The heat of my body was intensifying. I can feel the blood rise to my head.

Veronica was looking at me with agony. Her eyes started to close. Without air coming in to her lungs, she will pass out any minute now.

”Your highness?!” The door behind me slammed open. It was Dimitri that shouted.

”Your highness, please calm your self.” Dimitri was right beside me in an instant.
