Chapter 48: I can’t do the ‘chu’

Bree for a moment thought that she has misheard, she looked at Kevin and raised one brow, " What did you say, sir Kevin ... I think I misheard you."

There was no way, this man concocted an antidote that was supposed to be drunk for a guy who was lying unconscious on the bed right?

Kevin also knew that the relationship between Bree and her consorts was under strife at the moment so he was under just as much pressure but the thing was that basilisk poison only had one antidote and there was nothing more he could do about it, it wasn’t as if he was going to brew another antidote in just an hour, right?

He sighed and with a patient expression said, " This is the only possible antidote for basilisk poison, your majesty. Mind you that the poison of the basilisk clan is only sold to the royal family and is used on criminals and traitors, so there is no need for an antidote for them because they are supposed to be dead anyway. This is the first time that I have concocted an antidote for this poison, your majesty.... You have to understand my stand as well."

Bree did understand where he was coming from of course she did, after Kevin’s explanation how can she not understand that because there was no need for them to save the criminals and traitors, there was no need for anyone to research another antidote because it will never come into use anyways. But —- make an unconscious person drink it? How was she supposed to do that?

She turned her head to look at Ahmar who was peacefully lying on the bed and then thought about the only one way that was applicable to make an unconscious person drink the potion and she felt her face heat up with embarrassment and shame. There was no way she could do it!

" Then I think ..we have to wake the second consort," she said as she raised her hand and was prepared to slap Ahmar awake when she was stopped by Dion who pulled her hand back and on the other hand, Xander leapt on the bed and pulled Ahmar on his lap as he protectively covered his master’s face. " Your majesty just what is the matter with you!" He yelped panicking as he hugged his master in his arms. " My master is hurt, already, how can you slap him awake like this?"

Bree who was being pressured left and right, also raised her head and snapped back at Xander, " So what else are we supposed to do? How are going to make him take the antidote? Are you going to pour it down his throat? If so be my guest!" It wasn’t that she wanted to wake him up either but she was afraid that if Ahmar didn’t wake up, she would have to make him drink the antidote.

And how can she do that? Doesn’t it mean that she will have to lean down and press her lips against—- against —- his? Gahh! How can she do that? She had never done something like that before!

Xander’s face flushed as he looked at Kevin who nodded his head solemnly, telling him that the Queen was thinking on the right track and there wasn’t another way for them to feed this antidote to his master.

He licked his lips and then looked at his master who was lying in his lap and his gaze fell on those pale, thin lips and the ambrosia that he drank in the morning came hurling in his mouth. He really ... really loved his master but his love was platonic, damn it! How was he supposed to flush the antidote down the throat of his master?

Swallowing he raised his head and looked at Dion who raised his brows at him questioningly. " Dion since this is your fault, then you should come and help me out, mate."

Dion’s brows that were already raised, jumped to the roof and he said, " What are you talking about?"

" Isn’t that the truth? This happened because of your master’s mistakes, so as her aide, shouldn’t you be taking responsibility?" said Xander as he raised his brow and looked at Dion who jumped away and shouted shrilly, " Don’t even think of making me guilt trip! I accept that my master was the one who caused this tragedy but she also gave her blood to make the antidote, didn’t she? Do you know how precious my master’s body is? One cut on her finger and you can be sentenced to death, be grateful that I am not pushing you to take responsibility for the cut on my master’s hand, how dare you make me do ... do that.. who do you think you are?"

" Oh come on Dion, you will be fine!"

" What do you mean by fine? How can I be fine?"

" You look so much like a woman already, even if you kiss my master no one will say a thing! Not even my master!" ’Except he might come to look for you at the dead of night,’ thought Xander but he very wisely didn’t say anything.

" You bastard, I challenge you in the name of my honour——-"

" Umm, you can you get through that challenge later on?" said Kevin as he pushed the goblet in his hands and added, " The potion is only effective when it’s hot and I think if we go on like this, second consort will be dead before he could even get a sip of the antidote."

Xander who still wanted to put the last fight, paused and then took the goblet in his hands from Kevin as he looked at Ahmar’s lips and pouted his lips, before leaning close to his master’s face but as he got closer to Ahmar’s lips, he just couldn’t push himself to go ahead and place his lips against Ahmar’s, he reeled back up and heaved in relief before turning to look away from his master’s face and inwardly cried.

This ——how was he supposed to do it.

Even if he really forced himself to do it, he was afraid that his master might just kick him in the guts and stomp on him once he finds out that it was him who fed the antidote to him.

Kevin saw that Xander couldn’t do it and said, " Please hurry, Sir Xander. Don’t think too much and just get it over with —-"

" I know don’t rush me! And what don’t think too much?" It’s not your ass that’s going to whopped later on, easy for you to say!
