Chapter 330: Drugged Herself

Islinda sneered, "It’s nice to know Issac’s fiancée is a royal beggar, that would make a nice introduction to his parent!"

"Don’t go off point!" Maxi warned, pointing a finger at her, with the platter pulled to her side of course, "We are fighting over the Akara, not my shy Fae and I bite when it comes to him." Her eyes glinted with the dark promise.

Islinda shuddered, realizing she might have gone a bit too far. However, she was not the only one who thought this ridiculous fight had gone on for too long because Issac interfered, saying, "Ladies, I don’t think this is something both of you –"

"Do not interfere!" Islinda and Maxi chorused and Issac sat his ass back on his seat with a promise not to say a word. Ever.

"You should let go now, Maxi. You are merely Isaac’s fiancée and already caused a fuss. That is quite disrespectful, don’t we all think so?" Islinda sought everyone’s support but they kept calm, having learnt from Issac’s experience.

Maxi laughed mockingly, "Contrary to your opinion, I think you failed in your role as a host. Is this what you should be doing right now? You are proving your shortcomings to your guest. What a terrible host, you are." She said smugly, playing the victim’s card.

Unfortunately, Islinda had had enough and growled with frustration, tugging the plate with an unbelievable force that countered Maxi’s strength, and that resulted in the Akara balls sailing through the air in the next seconds.

Before the servants could even rush to the scene to clear the mess, Islinda and Maxi had already fallen to their knees, each with their own motives. Islinda was eager to keep the food from Maxi, unlike the horse shifter who was hell-bent on having a bite even if it was soiled with cow’s dung.

Islinda was faster than Maxi and used her bulky gown to cover the fallen Akara balls, even squashing some in the process with her knees so she wouldn’t be able to eat them. Aldric had already taken enough of the food to knock him out and she didn’t care if the others were put to waste. Maxi can’t have it.

Unfortunately, her efforts were not enough because Maxi still managed to pick up one that rolled under the table.

"Hah! Caught one!" Maxi lifted the ball in the air like a prized item, rubbing her success in Islinda’s face.

Islinda’s eyes widened when she saw the Akara and the mad look in Maxi’s eyes. The horse shifter was determined to take it.

"No!" She shouted just as Maxi put the Akara in her mouth with a grin. She won.

The decision was made in split seconds and Islinda swore to the heavens that she hadn’t been thinking straight when she leaned toward Maxi, grabbed her shoulder while the other cradled her face, holding her in place, and smashed her lips against hers.

Maxi was frozen on the spot as Islinda parted her mouth, her tongue sliding in and snatching the Akara in her mouth and maneuvered it into hers before pushing away from her body, eating it instead.

Yes, she did it!

Islinda’s victory lasted for about two seconds before the gravity of what she had done dawned on her. Oh no, she realized all eyes were on her and they witnessed what happened.

Fuck.

Not only did she kiss Maxi, but it was a deep, tongue-tangling kiss, not to mention, she practically ate what was in her mouth.

Kill her.

Islinda suddenly grew weak and she laid flat on the ground, uncaring that Maxi might use the opportunity to steal the Akara ball that peeked out from her dress. No, it was all over. What had she done?! The shame overwhelmed her.

"Wow, that was hot," Maxi managed to breathe after she recovered from the kiss. She had been frozen in shock the entire time but the kiss had not been so bad and it left her feeling giddy.

However, her eyes connected with Eli’s dark ones and she shuddered at once, "That was practice of course, I’m sure she does the real thing with you," Maxi said lightly, waving it aside.

"I believe you should not talk at this point," said Issac who had come to help her rise from the floor.

"Oh," Maxi accepted his help, her appetite for the Akara gone. The damage had been done after all, however, she was not revolted over what happened. If anything, Maxi’s heart was still racing while her lips still tingled from the kiss.

If she were starting a harem, there was no doubt Islinda was in it. However, even she could not face Aldric’s wrath. So for once, she would be content with her shy Fae. However, she was keeping this precious memory forever.

"Princess, stand up," Eli commanded when she wouldn’t rise and covered her face in the crook of her arms. Islinda was mortified and had no idea how to face Aldric. Not just him, but everyone who had seen the kiss happen. She does not swing that way. What would Maxi even think of her? If only Islinda knew.

"Stand up now or I’ll help you and it won’t be pretty," Eli growled an order, and only then did Islinda get up from the floor, her face as red as a ripe tomato.

Her gaze first connected with Maxi’s who surprisingly didn’t look as mad as she had even imagined. If anything, the horse shifter winked at her and her stare dropped to the ground. What was going on here? Had she forgiven her that quickly?

Then she remembered Aldric, Islinda whirled around with an apology on her lips only for the words to vanish when she met his stoic expression. Oh no, he was mad, very mad.

"El–Aldric, I didn’t mean to –"

"Sit down and have your meal, princess. You need the food more than I do."

Huh, Islinda blinked in surprise. Was he not mad at her?

Islinda sat down hesitantly, feeling uneasy he would change his mind the next minute.

However, he did not scold her, rather lifted a spoon to her mouth and she had no choice but to open up and let him feed her.

"Good princess," He patted her on the head, leaving her more confused. However, Islinda merely shrugged and accepted everything in good faith until it hit her.

Fuck! She ate the drugged Akara!
