I Played the Role of the Adopted Daughter Too Well - [Author: 다나 ]

Chapter 26

'I trust you, novel setting!'

Viola decided to believe in the setting of the novel. In the original storyline, Viola drank the 'Viola potion.' She deliberately drank the potion, wondering what could have happened to her. Thankfully, Viola didn't die after drinking the potion.

Even Viola, who had the guts, was bewildered. She vividly recalled the scene in her mind with embarrassment.

「 Why is everything alright? 」

Later on, she finally realized the reason.

「 Viola has an unusual body condition that 'Viola potion'' did not work on her. 」

So, she decided to trust the setting set by the author.

Among all the five potions, she decided to drink the most poisonous one. To make the strongest impression in front of them.

'...I'm not going to die, am I?'

It would be a lie to say that she is not afraid.

'But I have to.'

She needs to get a perfect head start. It was not possible to survive in this Duchy of Verratoux with a half-hearted attitude.

She had come this far, all she had to do was to go straight ahead.'

"I'll have a drink now, my dear family."

Viola put her nose in the vial's mouth. The scent is surprisingly good. She could smell something sweet, like wine.

"Who made this potion?"

Despite knowing everything, she still asked.

"Why are nostalgic feelings dripping from this potion?"

At that moment, silence fell.

It was none other than Duke Heron who broke the heavy silence. He slowly rose from his seat and walked closer to Viola. His eyes did not contain any emotion, but Viola was able to read the violent spirit behind that stillness.

The duke asked in a low tone.

"Where and how did you hear that?"

Viola hid her fear and acted.

"I didn't hear it, I saw it."

"You saw it?"

"It's just that I saw it."

'Well, I read it in the novel.'

"What did you see?"

"A longingness for someone, love more than death, and desperate longing. I can see that."

After hearing the words, Duke Heron stared intently at Viola. Viola started shrinking for no reason.

'I felt strange... '

It was as if the eyes were searching for all the secrets that were hidden, beyond the memories, even the ones she didn't know.

「 Duke Heron had very special eyes. He had an instinctive insight to distinguish between lies and truth. 」

It is called 'eye of the truth' in the novel.

'Because of this eye, Duke Heron will be even more confused.'

Because, Viola was only telling the truth.

She then leaned the entrance of the potion Viola against her mouth.

Gulp.

The potion, 'Viola,' gradually seeped down her esophagus and entered her body. At that, Viola could immediately feel her body becoming hot. It was as if sweet sugar water seemed to rush towards all the blood vessels.
