Aria looked down at Cuirre’s special potion.

A dark-red liquid with an unknown bubble bubbling.

It was a very vicious visual that seemed to take life by vomiting blood the moment it was touched.

‘Are you trying to assassinate me so proudly?’

But the doctor’s eyes were very solemn. It was full of will to somehow transform her fragile constitution into a healthy one.

It was very desperate, as if someone had threatened to kill him.

“I was told that you collapsed from exhaustion while walking.”

Aria heard that and raised her head.

Tristan leaned his back against the post of her bed, looking down at her with a slanted face.

Then Cuirre’s shoulders shivered and trembled. He suddenly began to shake his whole body like a blizzard in midsummer.

‘It seems this is the one who threatened you.’

She roughly expected it, though.

At that moment, Lloyd, who was standing opposite the Grand Duke, murmured in a low, subdued voice as if scratching the floor.

“I’ve heard that it’s not a physical problem, but…”

Then Cuirre turned his face as well as his blue lips, and started sweating profusely like rain.

‘Maybe this one too?’

Cuirre seemed to be suffering all sorts of troubles because he was caught between the two Valentines. He is being threatened with death by the Grand Duke and the Grand Prince at the same time.

‘Sorry. I often get sick….’

Aria had no choice but to stare at Cuirre with a very pitiful gaze for a moment.

She thought that from now on, she should not be too reckless and think about the future.

“She must’ve got the heat. Out of bounds, there was something called heatstroke!”

Dana said very hard to herself. She clenched her fists and groaned, unable to hide bitterness towards her ignorance.

“I didn’t think about it and I was afraid that she might catch a cold, so I foolishly wrapped a shawl in the summer…”

Without the shawl, Aria would have already been bitten by the taxidermist and would not be here by now.

Because of the chief lady-in-waiting’s excessive worry, she had actually saved Aria’s life.

“I shouldn’t have left the Miss’ side even for a second…”

And Betty squeezed tears. If she hadn’t left Aria’s side, she would have been like the jaguar.

‘No.’

Since the jaguar is a silent beast, it was kept alive without having to kill it. If there were any witnesses, they would certainly have dealt with it mercilessly.

Rather, the two women would have survived because they had not been by Aria’s side.

‘I can’t help it.’

Aria squeezed her eyes shut and gulped down the mysterious potion.

Contrary to the appearance as if possessed by an evil spirit, the taste was surprisingly not as painful as she thought it would be.

‘Uh….’

This meant that she could barely swallow it without picking up the taste.

“Ahh, you’re amazing.”
