Chapter 179

Chapter 151 Taking Medicine

The reason I didn’t think it through was due to my brain short-circuiting from excessive shock, which lasted for about two seconds or longer; I couldn’t tell the difference. I even suspected that it was because my head was too dizzy that I was experiencing auditory hallucinations.

Afterwards, my mind started working again. In an instant, I thought of many possibilities. My first reaction was: Could something have happened last night after I lost consciousness? I immediately dismissed this idea in my heart—it was impossible. The time was too short; if anything had happened, it wouldn’t have been so quick. It must have been earlier… Could it be Carlos?! Ah ah ah! How disgusting can this person be!!! I’m going mad! When did this happen? I have no idea and don’t feel anything… No, I want to kill him… Pfft, no! He wouldn’t have had the chance… Nobody would have had the chance…

My hand subconsciously reached for the secret area between my legs; I didn’t know what I wanted to confirm, but I held tightly, feeling reassured by the solid touch of my palm… Oh, it’s just a sanitary belt.

So, am I still on my period now?! Am I pregnant?!

This tough guy remains pure and spotless, it’s this emotionless girl who’s deceiving me.

After coming to this conclusion, I gently patted my small chest, trying to calm the heart that was pounding wildly inside. After a deep breath, I looked back at Victoria.

She appeared calm and composed, her eyes downcast as she sat there, using a silver spoon to stir the strange liquid in the bowl… Honestly, I found her very annoying.

“Victoria.”

“Yes.”

“Are you bored?”

“Not particularly busy.”

“Wanna fight?”

“You’re not my match.”

“Tch.” I sneered, “Let’s see.”

“You can talk after you stand up.”

“I can!”

I stubbornly said with my neck stiffened, struggling to move around on the bed, trying to get off, but gave up after a moment… I’m so tired.

My limbs were weak, my body completely limp. Moving my head slightly made me feel nauseous. Sadly, I realized that I seemed to have truly become fish on a chopping board, completely helpless.

“How ugly.”

Victoria held the silver spoon to my mouth again. Whether I was overly sensitive or not, I felt that her golden eyes carried a teasing look.

“Take the medicine,” she said indifferently.

That stench drifted into my nose again. It smelled like something rotten, mixed with an unpleasant fishy odor that hit my brain, making me wrinkle my nose in disgust: “I won’t. This smell—”

“Take the medicine.” Victoria emphasized her words, “Don’t make me repeat myself.”

But these words, which sounded like a threat,

Instead of backing down, I felt a surge of rebelliousness. I turned my head away angrily, using silent defiance to tell her, “I won’t eat it!”

In the next moment, Victoria stood up from her chair.

Holding the bowl in one hand, she looked down at me with an intense stare that made me uneasy. Unconsciously, I moved closer to the edge of the bed.

What does this woman want…

Suddenly, her eyes narrowed, and she reached out toward me like a claw!

“Ah——!”

I let out a startled scream and instinctively tried to raise my arm to block her, but my body was too sluggish and heavy to keep up with my brain’s reactions. Victoria easily grabbed my cheek… She was pinching my face!

My eyes widened.

Victoria moved extremely fast, without any pause. She pounced onto the bed, lifting her fair leg and pressing it against me. I immediately fought back, retaliating by grabbing her left cheek and pulling hard. Her perfect face, so close to mine, instantly became comical. But Victoria remained unfazed, pressing her entire body against me. I pushed her with my left hand as hard as I could, kicking my legs wildly beneath her. She then tightly clamped her legs around me.

Victoria wrapped herself around my body like an octopus, pinning me down forcefully, and pressed the bowl to my mouth. My face was squeezed hard, making my lips pout and unable to close. It felt like I was about to drool, which made me even more furious. I tried to struggle, but found myself powerless to break free. So, I grabbed her hair and pulled her head back. Even so, this woman remained expressionless as she quickly poured the mysterious liquid into my mouth, its stimulating taste hitting my brain. I wanted to spit it out, but Victoria held my mouth shut, making me so angry I felt like exploding!

“Mmm—gurgle…”

Ah, I swallowed it.

She released my lips, and I opened my mouth to curse, “You perverted woman! Ptoo, ptoo, ptoo, ugh—!”

“Shut up.”

“It makes me so mad… Mmm!!”

“Gurgle… Pervert! This is sexual harassment—!”

“Open your mouth.”

“Ptoo! Ptoo, ptoo!”

“Shut up.”

“…Gurgle.”

A maid, hearing the commotion, nervously approached the bedroom door. After seeing the situation inside, she quietly closed the door…

Not long after, I finished drinking the medicinal concoction.

Actually, halfway through our struggle, I had already given up. The discomfort was too much; the more I struggled, the dizzier I became, and the weaker I felt. By the end, I was basically at her mercy.

The taste in my mouth was both bitter and salty.

“Huff—huff—”

I lay on the bed, panting heavily, my cheeks burning as if they were on fire.

Ripe to the point of being overdone.

Leaning weakly to one side, Victoria turned her gaze to the other side: “As a queen, how could you do something like this…”

“Queens are also human.” Victoria walked to a nearby desk, placed the empty bowl on it, and said.

She had made my hair look like an explosion. The originally fair and tender face now had red cheeks on both sides. That appearance… damn, I actually found this woman somewhat cute.

“What strange thing… did you feed me… huff—”

“Pregnancy tonic.”

“Bullshit.”

I scolded her without much enthusiasm and then struggled to pull myself back under the covers, lying down obediently.

Dizzy and disoriented, I felt extremely uncomfortable. I didn’t know if it was due to the medicine, but I suddenly felt very sleepy… It was only just morning, yet I already wanted to sleep again.

“What’s wrong with me…”

“Physical weakness and fever, nothing serious,” Victoria said.

“Just that?”

Is it really that simple?

Victoria walked toward me while saying, “Last night, I found you collapsed at the entrance of the manor, and your body was very hot.”

“At the entrance?”

So, last night I came back by myself?

She sat on the edge of my bed and nodded gently: “Yes. I was worried you might have contracted a serious illness, so I called Bishop Rams to bless you with a healing miracle.”

…A healing miracle?

Did someone from the church come last night?

I was completely confused; I didn’t remember any of these things.

“I had someone crush herbaceous plants such as mousewort, licorice, and white tree roots. What you just drank is very effective. Rest for a day, and you’ll be fine… Before that, go change your sanitary napkin.”

Hearing this, I was slightly stunned, then lowered my head, feeling my face even hotter.

“How did you know…”

“Don’t always ask me foolish questions.” Victoria looked at me calmly.

Then her tone became stern: “Alright. Now tell me what happened last night on Alick Street.”

Alick Street… Last night… What happened… Buzz—

I remembered.

I remembered the scene from last night, and what happened after the headache subsided.

The street filled with flames, swirling black smoke and white light, the heretics I had slaughtered, and the bizarre hallucinations.

I could even recall my mood at the time. That sense of carelessly toying with prey, purely for the enjoyment of killing, that mindset consumed by hatred and extreme disregard for life… It was exactly the same as when I dealt with Edward.

Then, a more terrifying fact engulfed me.

Last night… I ate a person.
