When I reached my room after I exited library, I played with the lightning since there weren't any types of magic I was able to use at that time.

And although it was not as strong as the magic in the Lightning Domain I had trained, the strength behind my magic was still passable.

And at that time, I heard the sound of knocking coming from the door of my room.

/KNOCK/ /KNOCK/

"Callius, I am coming in."

When I heard the soft sound of the girl behind the door, I didn't say anything and accepted her to come inside.

With a swift sound, the door opened, and a familiar girl with yellow hair and brown eyes holding a glass entered my room.

She wore a dress that complimented her newly developed body features as well as her shiny yellow hair that would always mesmerize the original Callius.

With a faint smile on her face, she entered my room, looked around for a bit, and locked her eyes with mine. There was a little bit of mocking gaze in her eyes, albeit it was a bit hard to see.

If it was the original Callius, he would have been blinded by the fake sense of closeness he got from this girl and would not have noticed that. But I am different. I know what kind of girl she is, how shrewd she can be when the opportunity presents itself.

"Will you not welcome me?" She said, keeping the smile on her face.

"Ah, sorry, I was just lost in your beauty for a second. Come, sit, please."

I said with a smile on my own as well, and seeing my 'submissive' attitude, the smile on her face widened, and she came beside me and sat on my bed.

To be honest, I have been thinking for a long time. Why had she always treated Callius in a good way, like a proper fiancée would? What would she gain from this? What was the motive behind her actions?

Although understanding a person's thought process to the full extend itself is almost impossible, from the things I saw in the game, I was able to come up with a conclusion.

In the game it was shown like she got closer to the Callius because he was the future head of the Duke's House. However, after Callius was conveyed as a classless person, she still didn't leave Callius' side and fed him with her fake affection.

But the point is, since Callius was classless, it would be a very high possibility that, in the future he would not have a strong authority over the people of the Augustride Household. It is not like Callius is the only person that can inherit the dukedom itself.

Then, I though, why did she not leave Callius' side? At that point, there was no point in continuing this façade.

And to this question, I have still yet to find the answer, albeit I have some speculations.

Then, I decided to act like the original Callius did when he was with her, like a little boy in love, to test some waters and obtain a clue about the motive behind her actions.

Anyway, after she sat beside me, she turned her head to me and started talking.

"Ah, my dear Callius. It must have been hard for you, hasn't it?"

She said and put her hand on my cheek while slowly caressing it.

At this point, I was hardly able to suppress the disgusting feeling I had and the strong urge to slap her hand.

'This bitch, don't lay your filthy hands on me.' I thought while making a sad expression on my face and forcing my eyes to tear up.

/PAT/ /PAT/

And the sound of two drops of tear hitting to bed followed not long after.

"Ah, here, come here. It is okay."

Seeing me making a crying face, she pulled my head to her shoulder and started patting me.

"Here, I brought you a drink. It will help you get better."

After patting my head for a while, she pulled my head over and said, while looking at me with her brown eyes. But I was able to catch that little flash of sinister smile on her face.

'This girl, she is not even trying to hide her expression at all.'

I thought while looking at the drink she put on the table. She entered the room with this drink, and at the beginning it was a pure water with nothing mixed in it. However, when she brought me to her shoulder, she put a pocket of powder in it, although I don't know what it is for now.

'This is probably the time when she started drugging Callius in the original game itself. Although, the attack of this heretics occurred, it seems some of the events happened in the original is still there.'

I thought while observing the drink she gave me.please visit panda-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

'System, can you identify the contents of this drink, or can you separate it after I drink it?'

I asked to the system in my mind while answering to Alicia at the same time.

"Ah, thank for worrying about me."

"Who would worry about a person like you, you little rat?"

She said with a little voice, and thanks to my increased perception stat, I was able to hear it.

"Huh, did you say something?"

"Ah, no, no. It was nothing. Don't mind me."

"If you say so."

Like that, I grabbed the glass and went back to her side while talking with the system in my head.

<Host, I am unable to process the things you have yet to sense or eat. Therefore, I can't identify the things inside this drink. But I think I can help you detoxifying the things inside it after you drink it.>

'Good, inform me about the contents of this drink.'

I instructed the system and sat beside her again, and started drinking.

/GULP/ /GULP/

After I started drinking, she put back that little twisted smile on her face and started talking.

<Host, I finished analyzing the content of the mixture she gave you. It contains three different poisons. First named 'Stylax,' a poison from the north, which messes with the emotions of the victim and clouds their judgement.>

While I was talking with the system inside my head, I started feeling the anger rising from the bottom of my heart.

"You are angry, aren't you? You are angry at Duchess Adelyn, because she always treats you harshly. You are angry at Emma because she always looks down on you. You are angry at the maids in your own household because they always has that scornful look on their faces. You are angry at those noble children who would always attend the banquets with their parents, aren't you?"

She started whispering with soft voice to my ear while slowly caressing my cheek.

'What does the second poison do?'

<It is a poison called 'Bhutocin,' a newly developed poison by the alchemists in the lawless zone. It has the effect of increasing a person's sensitivity to touch little after the ingestion.>

And just as the system said, at that moment, I started feeling the touch of Alicia on my cheek in a more detailed way. I got goosebumps over every part of my body.

"However, at the end, you are angry at your mother and father the most, aren't you, Callius? Because they left you in this world all alone, against all those people who always wants to harm you, against all those people who are plotting behind you. They are the ones you are mad at the most. Isn't it true?"

While caressing my face like that, she kept whispering into my ears.

pαпdα-ňᴏνêι·сóМ 'And what does the last one do?'

Between all those touches and whispers, I asked the system.

<The last one is a aphrodisiac called 'Devil's Whisper.' It slowly increases the victim's libido to five times of the normal one after the ingestion. It has the affect of addicting heavily and can also be used as a drug to satisfy a person.>

And the answer came back not long after.

<However, the scary thing is not what they separately do. Right now, if I hadn't purified the effects of those three drugs to some extend, the madness would have already take over your head right now. The scary thing is that, even the purification, the combination of these three substances are still heavily affecting your body at all. At the end, you would be slave to this drug, and your sexual desires would be raised to its peak.>

The moment

"You know that, don't you. That I am the only person who always stands on your side, I am the only one you can rely on; I am the only person who would listen to you. That, no matter what, I would be the only person who would welcome you with my arms open?"

And just like that, she with a bewitching smile on her face.

"Don't you want to get your revenge. Don't you want to make all those bitches beg for forgiveness in front of you? Come, pour me what you have been feeling. I am ready."

And at that moment, like the devil whispering with the bewitching smile on her face she closed her eyes and kissed me with those soft lips of hers…
