No way. No way.An uneasy feeling came up the spine.
"It's different from usual."
"...."
"As the maid said, there must be times when the food I always eat feels different."
Richard calmly put the spoon down and looked at me.
I didn't quite believe what he said.
I was not foolish enough not to notice that he was talking back about the fruit in the food.
I thought it would be ok if I carefully looked at the moment of cooking, but I guess I was wrong.
How did they put it in?
"-Ugh!"
"....!"
Richard, who pretended to be fine, suddenly groaned. I was surprised and opened my eyes wide.
His face was burning red.
Richard's condition didn't look good. He didn't show it, but a cold sweat ran down his face.
"-Are you okay?"
I reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead. At that moment, a strong force grabbed my wrist.
His hand, holding my wrist, gained strength.
He has never eaten food with poisonous herbs before-.
According to the original, the poisonous herb did not have an effect immediately from the beginning, but only responded when it accumulated steadily.
-Looking at the condition, it seemed that the fruit that the kitchen maid had secretly put in, and that he had been taking for a long time, is now showing its effects.
'But why now-'
I looked at him.
The pain in the wrist held by him felt like nothing, thinking that my neck might fly away if I did something wrong.
"If you come closer- I don't think you can do that."
He gave a low warning, blinking hard as if his vision was dizzy.
Ironically, he held my hand tight as he told me to move away.
Because of that, I couldn't do this or that, and I had no choice but to sit facing him.
Soon his body collapsed.
"Richard!"
I grabbed his body, which was collapsing urgently.
The current Richard reminded me of the first time I saw him.
The way he was looking for medicine.
It was the same back then and now that he struggled with pain.
'What should I do?'
I bit my lips until my lips bled in frustration.
If this is revealed to the outside as it is, I may die as a sinner who poisoned Richard's food.
But I can't just leave it alone-.
"-Maid."
Finally, Richard, who had been silent for a long time, opened his mouth with a hot breath.
"-Please touch me."
"...."
"-Please, I beg you."
Blue eyes filled with passionate desires saw me.
