Chương 100: What Really Happened (2)

(Regaleon's POV)

"This smell!" I covered my nose with my hand quickly. But it was too late. I have inhaled some of the smoke.

"I have been waiting for you, your highness." It was not Alicia's voice.

The woman seating in front of me turned around, it was Veronica.

'Dammit!' I cursed inside me. I let my guard down, thinking that if was Alicia in front of me.

Veronica stood up from where she was sitting. She was wearing an identical blue gown and a wig similar to the color of Alicia's hair.

"Do you like the smell of the fragrance, prince Regaleon?" Veronica opened the incense burner fully. The smoke coming from within intensified.

I can no longer block the smoke with my hand. Bit by bit I was inhaling the fragrance from the incense burner.

'Cough cough' The smell is fragrant but it was so strong that it hurt by throat and nostrils.

"What is this?" I asked. My body was starting to become hot. My heart beat was getting faster.
