"Mari, prepare the bath for me" I order her.

"Sure, Milady" she bows down and leaves.

Last night was a mess...It was crazy!

So many things happened but oh well-

Atleast, I was able to witness Victor's humiliated face haha! That makes it all worth it!

As for Arron...

I still don't know what that bastard's thinking...

He saved me from Victor last night...

But when asked of the reason he...

On our way back here, in the carriage he didn't speak a single word...

There was only a dead silence in between us.

It was uncomfortable.

Perhaps, it would be better if we spoke just a little...

I mean last night I really...

"No Erika just don't think about it!! What's done is done!!"

I slap my cheeks with both of my hands to calm myself down.

I hear a knock on the door.

And, speak of the devil...

Arron was standing there at the door, with a cup and saucer.

"Good evening!" He greets.

"Uh yeah- good evening"

He walks in and places the cup on the table in front of me.

The beautiful white cup, with pastel floral design and a gold border, contained a dark orange liquid inside.

"What's this?"

"Don't worry it's not poison"

"The fuck? I didn't even say anything?"

"Haha I thought you would"

"Now I am actually suspicious-"

"It's Silphium tea"

"Huh? Now what is that?"

Arron lets out a soft chuckle and covers his eyes.

"Hah...Duchess, you're not a child right? Do I have to explain everything? You should know what it is..."

My brows furrow in confusion as I look down at the cup.

Silphium...

And I recall from Rosetta's memories...

It was one of the most effective contraceptives of this age...

"Ahh!!!" My eyes widen.

"I guess you remember now? It would have been more effective if consumed in the morning, but better late than sorry, right?"

Oh fuck...how did I forget about it!!!

In my past life, I never had any real experiences with a man so I have no idea on contraceptives or protection of any kind, whatsoever.

"Unless the Duchess wants to have my bastard that is..."

I gasp in shock.

"Well, in that case, I would happily raise one, maybe even two"

"GIVE ME THAT!!" I snatch the cup and gulp down the tea in one go.

It was a sweet scented tea, however it tasted bitter.

But what is this...

Rosetta recognises this scent.

And memories come flashing by...
