Her eyes caught sight of a hearth and a kettle.
Brody cautiously moved towards them.
“As expected, it’s here.”
She saw a tea leaf box next to the kettle. She had thought there must be tea leaves since the original Brody had served tea.
“I guess even with the food shortage, they can afford such luxuries. Well, he is the lord of the North, so this much is… nothing.”
She shook off her stray thoughts and put water in the kettle using an unfamiliar hearth.
Now, she couldn’t make a mistake.
With all her heart and care, she made the tea.
All the while, the man paid no attention to her.
But when she carefully approached and set down the tea cup in front of him, he reacted for the first time.
His sharp gaze was drawn to the plain white, wornout teacup.
The innocent teacup, holding tea of the perfect temperature, sent wisps of steam into the cool Northern air.
“Tea? Was there such a thing?”
The Duke rummaged through his memory.
Then his already furrowed, clear, and agile black eyebrows cast a deeper shadow.
Come to think of it, he faintly remembered his chief of staff pleading, “Please have this, if you keep going without sleep like this, you’ll fall asleep on the battlefield and die” or something, and leaving it.
Soon, his gaze shifted from the teacup to her.
Brody clasped her hands and looked at him.
Her heart beat. His handsome face showed a different beauty up close. Even the rugged and sharp expression couldn’t hide his beauty.
But then…
“Why is he looking at me like that?”
His gaze was strangely hot.
What is it? Did he notice something?
That couldn’t be. In the original work, the man drank the tea that Brody offered.
“It was unbelievable even in the passing story, that the Duke would promptly drink the tea offered by a female prisoner of the enemy.”
No matter how excellent Brody’s teamaking skills were.
“Well, the body search was very thorough. And no one would expect Brody’s ‘special ability’ anyway.”
Brody met his gaze calmly with the most harmless expression possible.
The sweet and bitter scent of tea filled the space between them.
He looked at her as if examining her, creasing his forehead deeply, and then opened his mouth.
“Leave it behind.”
It was a voice with a deep, heavy resonance.
Brody said nothing more and stood back in the doorway of the hut.
The man stared blankly at the teacup for a moment, letting time pass.
Brody swallowed her dry saliva. One minute felt as long as an hour.
‘Drink! Drink it! If you just drink it…!’
Eventually, the man lifted his teacup.
‘In this scene, that man dies.’
Strength filled Brody’s two hands, which had been politely clasped together.
After a moment of savoring the aroma, warm water flowed into his mouth, and the sight of his solid Adam’s apple going up and down was seen.
‘No, he’s dead. In the original, that is.’
In the original, ‘poison’ was added, but now Brody did not.
Instead, she had put ‘something else’ in the teacup. Just to escape, that was all.
Since he had drunk the tea, it was only a matter of time before the plan succeeded.
The man who drank the tea lowered his head.
‘Yes, he must be sleepy. I added plenty of ‘Mesu.’
Once the man fell asleep, Brody planned to use ‘her ability’ to escape.
‘Fall asleep quickly. Hurry.’
She thought everything would go smoothly, but Brody waited, still tense.
Ah, but something was… strange.
‘Mesu’ has a calming effect. Depending on how much is added, it can put someone to sleep.
It seemed like the right amount was added, so why wasn’t he falling asleep?
The man’s once sharp eyes were dull.
With tired eyelids, he kept shaking his head.
His eyes, looking up to stare at Brody, were out of focus, swaying back and forth.
But he never closed his eyes.
‘Why? Why?!’
Seeing the giant man staggering towards her, she stiffened.
