Hans had been watching the movements of the woman named Chloe since immediately after the meeting with the Duke ended. His purpose for staying at this mansion was solely to watch and observe the Duke’s woman.

He didn’t particularly predict what would happen. He just thought it would be good to know the woman’s tendencies or characteristics. But to witness such an interesting situation.

Returning to the guest room to rest, he saw a maid coming down from the 4th floor, looking pale and running somewhere. The maid seemed so startled that she didn’t even notice him blatantly following her. As soon as she met the head maid, the woman said excitedly that a doctor should be called.

It was strange. She was clearly fine until she talked to some knight outside the mansion, but in the meantime, she was feverish and suffering.

While puzzled, he suddenly recalled the effects of Letunia that Lady Reina had mentioned. Could it be that she’s reacting to Letunia?

Since the Tilbes family’s head took him in as a young boy begging on the streets, Hans had been loyal to the Tilbes family all his life. After the head of the family was bedridden, he devoted his loyalty to Reina Tilbes, who became the de facto head.

As a result of his unconditional loyalty, Reina trusted him quite a bit. Enough to learn a lot about the fact that the Tilbes family was a beastman family and about the world of beastmen. It was information he had to know to carry out many of Reina’s instructions.

Lady Reina had clearly said that.

But looking at the situation unfolding, it seemed that the one who took the tea was not the Duke but the woman named Chloe. Moreover, the woman was reacting to the tea that was said to only affect beastmen. To be precise, she was showing symptoms of being in heat.

But it was said that the woman was not a beastman…

It was an enigmatic situation. But if he waited and watched, a little more distinct truth would be revealed. Hans decided to wait a little longer.

Chloe, who had been half-conscious, consumed by pain and heat last night, was exhausted on the bed for a different reason than yesterday.

“You’ll be fine now.”

The Duke whispered, fiddling with her ear.

“I was already fine since last night. Now I’m rather not fine.”

Chloe grumbled, glancing at the Duke. The pain that had been agonizing enough to lose her mind had already been relieved last night. But as soon as Chloe returned to a normal state, the Duke became even more immersed in the act.

If he had been delicate and careful until then, as if it was an act for treatment, after the painful symptoms were relieved, he charged on without rest as if he himself was in heat. As a result, Chloe didn’t even have the strength to lift a finger.

“Last night, it was you, Chloe, who didn’t let go of me as if you were going to devour me.”

The Duke’s hand that had been touching her ear had somehow come down to her shoulder.

Until her body recovered, Chloe didn’t even know why she had fallen into that state. Even after the fever had gone down last night, the Duke, who had been raining kisses on her shoulder, suddenly raised his head and asked.

At those startling words, Chloe wanted to ask him more about this and that. But the Duke, who actually threw out the words that surprised her, kissed various parts of her body, making her body heat up once again. In the end, only after being embraced by the Duke several more times was she barely able to find out that she had become like this because she drank Letunia tea.

The Duke showed a very brief predatory gleam in his eyes at the fact that the man who brought the tea was a Tigrium, but soon focused only on Chloe. Until she sobbed that she absolutely couldn’t do it anymore.

And after that, what? He said it was because she wouldn’t let go of him. How dare he!

“That’s because I drank that strange tea and wasn’t in my right mind.”

“It’s not a strange tea, it’s Letunia.”

“That’s what I’m saying!”

“There’s still a lot of that tea left. It’s not harmful to the body as long as it’s relieved right away, and it has many good effects, so whenever you want to drink it…”

For a moment, Chloe almost slapped the Duke’s mouth.

How much pain she was in last night, and he says she would want to drink it! Clearly knowing that she didn’t drink it expecting to end up like that.

“Enough! Don’t ever say that again.”

It felt like her whole body was burning with heat, and the strange excitement spreading from her lower abdomen to her legs made it feel like her insides were all twisted.

How much it hurt, with a thirst that seemed to swallow her whole and a pain that felt like her whole body was melting away as time passed!

The moment the Duke kissed her, all that pain began to fade and she felt a sense of floating. Eventually, when the thirst and heat were relieved, the pain completely disappeared. The body that had been writhing in pain was now dominated by an indescribably excessive pleasure. It was a pleasure so intense that she had never experienced in her life.

That was the case, but… No matter how overwhelming the pleasure was, still! There’s no way she would voluntarily want such pain.

“Ah! Don’t worry. If I help you right away, you don’t need to go through that kind of pain. You just need to be a little more to me…”

“You perverted wolf!”

They say all men are wolves!

“I am a wolf, you know.”

At the Duke’s brazen answer, Chloe glared at him.

“Beast!”

“That… Yeah, that seems right too. I’m a beast. A beast crazy for you.”

“If you know you’re crazy, take your hands off now!”

During her conversation with the Duke, Chloe swatted away his hand that had somehow come down from her shoulder to her chest. The Duke’s hand fell away more easily than expected.

“Alright. Now you need to eat something. While you eat, I have something to do.”

“You’re not eating together?”

She wasn’t the only one who had skipped a meal. Since the Duke entered this room yesterday, other than the light snacks the Duke had a maid bring late at night, the two had explored each other without eating anything.

In fact, strictly speaking, Chloe had no right to denounce the Duke as a beast either. It wasn’t just the Duke who had indulged in each other for so long that they skipped meals. Until just before realizing with her whole body that it was impossible to do more, Chloe also had no desire to part from the Duke’s firm body that kept colliding with her.

She was only filled with the desire to hold and be held more.

“You eat first.”

The Duke kindly said, kissing her forehead and getting off the bed.

When Mainy brought the meal to the bed for Chloe, who was sprawled out unable to move, Hugrey watched her eat for a bit and finally left her room.

As soon as he left Chloe’s room, he headed straight to the room where a man named Hans was staying, wearing a chilling expression that made one wonder if he was really the same person who had been looking at her with honey-dripping eyes until now.

Bang!

The sound of the door opening was so loud that it resounded through the 2nd floor corridor where the guest rooms were located.

“Was the tea you brought Letunia!”

Hugrey shouted at Hans, who jumped up from his chair.

“Ah! Are you referring to the tea I brought?”

“I have no intention of talking to you at length. Don’t try to play word games and answer right away. Was the tea you brought Letunia? Who, did Reina Tilbes, your master, send that?”

Last night, Hugrey felt pain as he watched Chloe writhing in agony. Although that pain lasted only for a moment, he indulged in her to his heart’s content under the pretext of treatment, satisfying his desires to the point of losing reason the more he took her.

Since he had sufficiently relieved her heat, there would be no remaining poison in her body and no aftereffects. But just because it was resolved, the crime this guy in front of him had committed did not disappear.

How dare he! This son of a bitch, to Chloe!

Just thinking about the moment she lost her mind as if she would tear her clothes and twist her body made him feel like his fur was standing on end all over his body.

“Yes, it is true that Lady Reina sent it to congratulate you on getting a companion. Didn’t you open the tea box? It should have clearly stated that it was Letunia tea.”

“Haha! What could be the reason your master sent that tea? Why on earth did she send me an aphrodisiac?”

“Ah! Was that such a tea? I had no idea…”

“Stop it. It’s not even funny. Go tell your master. If she tries to pull any tricks on my companion like this again… on me and my companion, I won’t forgive her.”

Hugrey meant to say he wouldn’t forgive putting Chloe in danger. But unable to accurately grasp Reina Tilbes’ intentions, he hastily changed his words.

Reina Tilbes would think Chloe was human. Then she wouldn’t have expected Chloe to show any reaction even if she drank Letunia. In that case, she must have intended to make Hugrey himself drink that tea.

Did she think I wouldn’t know about Letunia either? That can’t be it. Was she just trying it out?

Anyway, a warning to stop messing around was necessary.
