Carola slowly opened her eyes. She felt like she had just woken up from a very deep slumber.
‘Where is this? Where am I again?’
A strange scent hit the tip of her nose. This incense was originally an aphrodisiac prepared by Carola.
‘Right, I inhaled the aphrodisiac.’
Then, the hard body of a man rubbed against Carola’s body. It was dark all around. Carola let out a cry of joy inside.
“Well, Lucerne. It’s you, and me. Carola came to you tonight…….”
Carola whispered. She was still out of her mind. And she pounced on her opponent. Unfortunately, both were fully clothed. Carola struggled, but only her own clothes were pulled off.
“Lucerne! Carola wants you. You’ve known Carola’s heart for a long time, haven’t you? You’re the same as me, aren’t you?”
Carola giggled and shouted.
“Carola’s heart has been shaking since the first day I saw you. She married Jacob because he was the legitimate son. Mmm, Lucerne… … .”
However, the man who was entangled with Carola was not Lucerne. Likewise, Prince Jewel was also high and unable to discern reality.
When a woman in white clung to him and intertwined her body with his, Jewel didn’t even look at her face and clutched her tightly. Even in his hazy dreams, Jewel thought that this courtesan was soft and fragrant, like a real lady, and that his hands were full.
“You-you lowlife. It is an honor to serve and be with me today.”
Jewel half-understood Carola’s words and hit back. The two were madly entangled. But something was strange. Something else was touching each other’s bodies and felt like cold walls and the ground.
They seem to be blocked by something. They couldn’t touch each other’s bodies completely. It was because they weren’t sane. They were rubbing against the cold coffin, pushing their cheeks against the walls. But even from a distance, they could do it enough.
Rumble. Then, the coffin lid, half covering their bodies, was removed. A bright light enveloped them. People with lamps stood in a circle above their heads.
“Carola, what did you just say?”
Jacob, with a white face, asked Carola. If he’s not misunderstood….
Carola must have. Obviously. Just now.
Called Lucerne.
“Prince Jewel?”
Ilione also muttered in disbelief.
“Drop it!”
“You are crazy. Both of you are insane.”
People didn’t say anything for a while.
The only one who came to his senses was Gail. Even though people were watching, the two couldn’t come to their senses and tried to attack like madmen.
“This bitch—this is my bitch today!”
“Lucerne! Ah, you!”
Not only that, they both shouted. The servants who had come to watch hastily dropped the two. Fortunately, both of them were clothed.
“Yepnen. Don’t look!”
Ilione hurriedly covered her brother’s eyes. Yepnen stood there blankly, shocked, then he said,
“Big Sister. I think Brother Jewel and Carola like each other… … .”
The boy murmured in confusion, his words trailing off.
“But what can we do? Carola already has a husband. It would be sad if Royal Father knew about this… … .” [t1v: OMG PROTECT YEPNEN]
“Yepnen, you leave this place. Come on, take Yepnen!”
ordered Ilione.
“Yepnen?”
However, the prince was not the only one who witnessed this shocking scene. The empress stood at the entrance with a trembling expression.
“Your Majesty, Empress!”
her people called her. At that point, she stumbled. Ilione ran to her empress.
But Jewel was still talking nonsense.
“I am so glad you came in white for me. I’m going to give you a couple of tips… … .”
Ilione was stunned. At that moment, she met Elisha’s eyes among the crowd. Her eyes were very calm. Illione’s pupils grew, and her stare became strange.
‘Don’t tell me Lucerne and Elisha… … ?’
This was unusual. A scandal between the duchy’s first granddaughter-in-law and the Imperial family’s eldest son. Their obviously bizarre condition… … .
‘It’s quite possible that this will ruin their lives.’
Ilione had a hunch. This was her once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rid herself of her enemies.
Chills ran down her Ilione’s spine. She forced herself to resist a warlike smile forming on her lips. Ilione screamed loudly, supporting the empress.
“Jewel, you madman. How dare you play with fire with the duke’s granddaughter-in-law! What kind of disgrace is this! What excuse do you have for the duke. You haven’t even had a coming-of-age ceremony yet!”
The cry ignited people’s doubts.
People were buzzing and shouting. Then Elisha gave a short scream. She was standing near the coffin.
