Lakrahan’s question pulled Loren’s attention from Bercheria.
Loren glanced at the flowers Lakrahan was pointing at and nodded.
“Poisonous plants.”
Kelita’s head shook.
Lakrahan turned his head, and her eyes fell.
“Ah, I understand.”
The conversation between the two men ended there.
In the Deransis Empire where he lived, only the royal family was immunized against poison.
From childhood, they ingested small quantities of poison to build immunity in advance.
Slowly, over a lifetime.
To protect their lives from the risk of being poisoned.
The reason Lakrahan had a greenhouse built in the north to grow poisonous plants was the same.
And also why he had just switched the teacups.
Having seen Gerard at his side, Loren could not help but be prejudiced against Kelita.
“Shouldn’t fragrant things always be restrained, Duke Lakrahan?”
“Of course, Prince Loren.”
Lakrahan drank the tea he had switched with Bercheria.
[Star Icon]Tatiana was humming a tune, walking down the hallway.
In one hand, she held a large paper bag with sweet cookies; in the other, a single separately wrapped cookie.
“I must give this to my sister.”
Tatiana and the children shared one common wish.
To eat cookies until they burst.
Although Mrs. Morgan occasionally baked cookies for the children, it was always too little.
Although the drought in the north had lifted, food was still scarce, and they could not give the children as much as they wanted.
But today, Lady Luck seemed to be smiling.
Cookies had magically poured out of Mrs. Morgan, unexpectedly.
“Sister—beautiful goldenhaired sister—”
So thrilled, Tatiana was singing her way to Bercheria’s room.
After dividing the cookies among the children, the prettiest one, adorned with gold, was left.
And it was pure luck that it looked just like her sister.
The moment she saw it, she thought of Bercheria without hesitation.
When Tatiana arrived at Bercheria’s door, she knocked lightly with her small hands.
“Sister! It’s me, Tatiana!”
Soon the door opened, revealing a beautiful face that lifted her mood.
“Would you like to come in?”
Tatiana, clutching the bag of cookies, shook her head.
“The kids are waiting. I have to go back quickly.”
“Is that so?”
When Bercheria sat down to match her eye level, an uncontrollable smile spread across Tatiana’s face.
“I’ll give this to you, sister.”
Tatiana extended a crumpled envelope that she had clutched tightly in her small hand.
“What is this?”
“Chocolate cookies!”
A laugh that sounded like bubbles bursting between Bercheria’s lips escaped as she responded energetically.
“Did you bring it for me?”
“Yes!”
As Bercheria opened her palm, Tatiana took the cookies out of the envelope and placed them on top.
At a glance, the appetizing cookies were packed with chocolate in between, enough to make one’s mouth water.
“Quick, try it.”
Tatiana’s face looked as though she would drool at any moment.
“Hmm. Shall we split it in half?”
“No?”
Tatiana shook her head so that her bobbed hair stuck to her cheek, then showed the other envelope in her other hand.
“I will eat with the children.”
“Okay, sure.”
Bercheria took a big bite of the sweet cookie.
As the sweet taste spread in her mouth, she felt so elated that her eyes widened.
“How is it? Is it good?”
Bercheria laughed out loud.
“Yes. It’s really delicious.”
“That’s a relief!”
Tatiana clapped excitedly, then waved her hands frantically and retraced her steps.
“Be careful. Don’t fall.”
Bercheria waited until the little girl was out of sight, then popped the remaining cookie into her mouth and stood up.
Gulp.
After swallowing the cookie in her mouth and happily entering the room and closing the door, Bercheria collapsed right on the spot.
She felt the world in front of her crumble and the energy drain from her body in an instant.
“…….”
Tatiana’s retreating figure, running and humming with cookies in hand, flickered in front of her eyes and vanished like a snuffedout candle.
