Chapter 222: Intoxicated
Chapter 222: Intoxicated
I have caught an infection in my eye, the updates will be affected I am sorry.
Once the aide melted into a pile of blood, minced meat and bones, the squirrel shifted, sounds of bones popping and shifting echoed in the clear night and a man with long blond hair and red eyes appeared on the spot where the soft and fluffy squirrel was standing just a second ago, he looked at the mess he has made and clicked his tongue before picking up the maid dress he has discarded on the branch of the tree and rummaged inside the pockets before taking out a small bottle of potion and took a sip.
No sooner did the man finish drinking the potion, his body shifted down and transformed into that of a woman, only then did the man wear his clothes and brushed his hair away from the front of his forehead and tied it in a long ponytail.
" I wouldn’t have done something like this," said Cassius as he pushed his bangs off his face and tucked them behind his ears as he looked around the entire surrounding and made sure that the myna wasn’t looking at him. " This is why father said that I was an emotional fool." He shook his head and then jumped off the balcony, originally he wasn’t going to make a move but then he couldn’t stop seeing the Duke and his men making things difficult for the Queen, as for why he couldn’t ignore these pangs in his heart, it was better not to think about it.
He didn’t take a look at the mess that was left behind on the balcony at all.
" Hmm?" Bree turned around to look at the balcony as the scent of something fishy filled her nostrils but under the various scents it was masked completely and before she could even catch what and to whom the scent belonged, it was gone.
Seeing that Bree was looking at the door of the ballroom that opened to the balcony both Blaise and Yakov turned to look where she was looking, when they saw that there was nothing wrong, they swivelled their necks again to look at Bree before Blaise leaned closer to Bree’s ear and asked softly, " Is there something wrong, your majesty?"
Yakov too turned to look at her with a concerned expression on his face, he didn’t say anything but she knew that he was questioning her silently as well.
" I just ..." smelled blood, was what she wanted to say but then she shook her head and changed her words. "It’s nothing, the scents here are a bit strong and I was thinking whether or not I should go and take a breather on the balcony but now I have changed my mind."
If the scent that she smelled was truly of blood then surely the one who died didn’t belong to their procession or else Blaise or Yakov would have made a move and the Duke would have been alerted as well. But since no one said anything, she might as well turn a blind eye to it.
The Duke on the other hand had his gaze set on the queen, he was so focused on seeing his plan succeed that he didn’t even notice that his aide hasn’t returned even after a very long time, instead, he waited for the servers to make their way towards the Queen and her consorts, his eyes shone when he saw that the two servers took those needles out of their pouch and dropped them in the wine glass.
’ Yes, Yes! Now hand it to her! Make her drink it!’ He roared inside his head, even the smallest taste of this wine would drive that woman crazy! He eyed the queen with crazed eyes and as he watched the queen taking a sip of the wine that was handed to her, a round of cheer flashed in his head.
Bree didn’t even take a sip of the wine in her hand when her mouth was filled with an intoxicating taste causing her to frown as she dropped the glass on the floor.
The wine glass shattered with a loud bang as it fell on the ground causing everyone to turn and look at her.
"Your majesty, what’s the matter?" Startled by the noise Yakov turned to look at Bree, his eyes popping in realisation when he saw that her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were looking around wildly as she glanced at the people who were holding onto the wine glasses.
" More..." she groaned as she looked at the red wine that was sloshing in the curvaceous glasses, her eyes popped out as she licked her parched lips and then pounced on a noble, catching him off guard and sending him crashing onto the floor. The crowd around her gasped and screamed in shock and delight as they all turned to look at the Duke, even Yakov turned to look at him with wide eyes that were brimming with anger as he stared at him.
Duke Cilantro smirked feeling victorious but then he couldn’t stop the laugh that was bubbling in his chest as he burst out laughing while staring at Bree who was snatching glasses of wine from one noble and then another before drinking it all down, her actions were as messy as they could have been!
He won! He won!
" I won!" The Duke shouted in a drunken frenzy as he was dragged by Aileen and Bracken to a side, even though he was tied by a rope, he was still moving a lot causing both Aileen and Bracken to grimace as they looked down at his silly smile.
" I just want to see what kind of expression he is going to have once he realises that it was him who was intoxicated and not the queen," said Bracken as he dropped Duke Cilantro’s head to a side after he was done dragging him to one side like the many nobles who were giggling and laughing while lost in their own world in the.
Aileen let go of Duke Cilantro’s legs and then heaved a breath while dusting off his hands as he blinked his eyes and then turned to look at Bracken. "... If you are done then we need to make a move and deal with the knights, they will be coming to see what happened any minute now."
The entire ballroom was filled with giggles and soft laughter, some were so exhilarated that they were laughing rather hysterically causing even Aileen and Bracken to jump out of their skin.
" Anyway," rubbing his arms, Bracken said as he looked at the nobles who were on the ground, they rolled left and right with their eyes closed. " I am surprised that we were able to do this so easily, I thought that someone would doubt us at least once but these people they didn’t even think about doubting us even for a minute, that’s like... I don’t know a miracle in itself."
"It is not a miracle," Aileen tugged on his shirt and smoothed the creases on the soft fabric before summoning his dual swords as he walked towards the entrance of the ballroom. " We were able to get past this obstacle so easily only because these nobles were taking her majesty, the Queen rather lightly and the Queen too was smart enough to rein her temper despite knowing that they were looking down at her, if this happened in the past, she would have burned them all down to their bones and rather faced the council of elders than caring about taking them down properly, the Queen I know doesn’t have the patience to do something like that."
Then he paused and turned to look at Bracken as he said, " If you are done then we need to leave, I can already hear the sound of their footsteps the knights are coming here."
Bracken rolled his eyes before snapping his fingers, a long scythe with a chained barbed metal ball appeared in his hands. " They are coming here but they won’t be leaving any time soon."
....
" Just a bit more, your majesty," said Blaise while flying in the sky with Bree in his arms, under him he could see a silvery wolf following him closely even though he was a few paces behind him, the wolf was strong enough to chase after him for so long while keeping up with his pace.
From afar the sounds of the wolf’s growl could be heard but Blaise didn’t pay any attention to those growls, on the other hand, his entire focus was on Bree who had her arms curled around his neck while she tried her best not to look down on the ground, instead, she buried her face against his neck as if he was her safe zone.
" Are we there yet?" Bree did like to do things such as bungee jumping and parachute riding but that was when she was perfectly secured by a harness and something of the sort, however right now she wasn’t tied by anything and honestly the thought of leaving her life in the hands of Blaise was not a very good decision.
