At that moment, the events of last night began to flash through Odette’s mind like a magic lantern.

The moment she raised the glass confidently in the atmosphere of Valter losing his composure.

⭐How about this? Is this a sufficient exemplary answer?⭐

Odette had drunk the alcohol in high spirits.

Since the glass was already more than half empty, and there was also a certain trust factor.

This was none other than an item corresponding to the third stage of the “Night Suppression Project.”

It was a poison that would make Valter confounded.
People don’t do business in front of alcohol! We prepare strong alcohol and suggest drinking based on the atmosphere. It’s about getting the Duke drunk!

What if I get drunk?

Before you go in, take this hangover remedy. You’ll be much less drunk.

Originally, Odette’s tolerance for alcohol was not that weak.

She simply tended to get sleepy abruptly when she drank… That was it.

Drink this, and you’ll be able to enjoy it to some extent without getting too drowsy.

And Elie, trusting Odette’s capacity for alcohol, recommended the hangover remedy, and there was no problem with the plan itself.

The issue was Odette’s body.

She had to go through a forced march due to Blake the night before, and Odette’s body was exhausted from the energy-draining events at the wedding.

Although Odette’s mind might have been fine, her body was different, exhausted as it was.

Thanks to that, Odette began to doze off as soon as she drank alcohol, and… she had no memory after that.

However, judging from her overly refreshed body and the headache that seemed like a hangover, one could guess.

‘It seems like…’

She probably drank and fell asleep.

She thought.

Only after understanding the entire situation did her face light up in an instant.

With the help of Ellie and Emma, she had prepared ambitiously and even endured the embarrassment to the point of wearing Paminmunjeol attire!

But instead of seducing Valter as planned, she just drank and fell asleep?

Moreover, Odette still had on that Paminmunjeol attire.

Odette glanced at the attire that she hadn’t put on, thinking it would look better than what she was currently wearing, and came to a conclusion.

‘I, I have to run away.’

There was simply no way she could face Valter in this state!

But why was the bed so wide?

Complaining about the bed that seemed as if it could accommodate several more people than necessary, Odette moved restlessly.

‘Before Valter wakes up…’

And just when she thought she had finally left Valter’s embrace.

“You said you wouldn’t break the promise. Is it a complete lie?”

Seeing her trying to run away in the morning like this.

At the words coming from behind her, Odette’s body froze.

“H-How…”

“How is ‘how’? After all that sitting and lying down, making a fuss, did you expect people not to wake up? I thought you were trying to wake me up.”

Trying to escape as soon as she got up.

Tsk-ing and clicking his tongue, Valter, who had risen from the bed, changed his posture and climbed up Odette’s body.

“My princess seems to enjoy letting her husband be poisoned. Thanks to that, I haven’t been able to get a wink of sleep here.”

“T-That was not my intention…”

Odette’s words, which she tried to say with a roll of her eyes, were abruptly cut off.

Not to mention that what had energetically moved just moments ago had turned into a stagnant pool, the problem was that Valter’s bare upper body was in full view.

Yesterday was somewhat acceptable because it was night, but now it was daytime.

Moreover, it was broad daylight!
The bright morning sunlight shamelessly exposed every part of Valter’s flawless body, making Odette feel like her eyes were popping out. No matter how much she had rehearsed such a situation in romance novels, experiencing it firsthand was a different matter. And Odette was feeling that fact keenly now.

‘W-What was I supposed to do in a situation like this?’

No matter how hard she tried to recall, nothing came to mind. Only the fact that Valter was in a position where their lips could touch with just a slight tilt of her head kept bothering her, and the unfamiliar sensation of Valter’s thigh nestled between her legs made her feel disoriented.

“You seemed quite tired, so I let you be, but now that you seem to have recovered, shall we finish what we didn’t do last night…”

With a discreet whispering voice, along with it, a large hand snuck beneath her clothes. Startled by the unfamiliar touch, Odette hastily explained.

“I-It’s not night anymore…! The night is already over!”

“Where is it? Until I leave the room, it’s still the night.”

“That’s just an excuse! It’s forced!”

“Please understand. Even if it’s a forced excuse, I have to make up for it now. It seems like I can relieve some of the resentment for someone who seduced me and fell asleep without any restraint.”

“……!”

There was nothing Odette could say about what happened last night. When Odette was at a loss for words, Valter lifted the corner of his mouth with a mocking or perhaps irritated expression.

Seemingly patient or appearing angry, he spoke.

“You seduced me like this, and I thought you would just let it go quietly. Falling asleep like this. If your intention was to torture me, you chose a good way.”

“I-I didn’t have such intentions.”

“Of course, I think so. No, you have to.”

Unlike usual, Valter smiled very politely.

Somehow, that smile felt more dangerous than usual.

“You have to take responsibility for provoking me in this way.”

… No, it doesn’t seem to be just a feeling.

But it was already too late.

Odette couldn’t leave the room for the whole day, and rumors began to spread in the Ertman Duke’s mansion.

The Ertman Duke and Duchess’s bed was incredibly hot.
