There were two plates already on the table although Scarlett seemed it have waited for me before she started eating. I took a seat just to her side as a sweet scent wafted into my noise, It was an addicting smell that calmed my tense body down to a small degree.
"You look beautiful" I smiled gently as I leaned over and pressed my lips against Scarlett's soft cheek.
"T~thank you" She coughed in embarrassment and I could see her milky skin slowly tinting pink.
"Shall we eat?" Scarlett changed the subject and I could tell she was hungry by the glint in her eye as she looked at the plate.
"After you" I held back my laugh as she instantly grabbed the fork and got to work on the delicious looking meal.
"Hm" She hummed as she stuffed her cheeks looking like an animal that had been starved for weeks.
"How was your day?" I made conversation while Ignoring the vial that seemed to weigh my pocket down.
"Boring" Scarlett let out a deep sigh of pure annoyance.
"I was just training the duchesses soldiers" She nibbled on a bread roll with a glint in her crimson eyes.
"Those babies just cry all day long" Scarlett shook her head making me push my lips onto a thin line.
'…..' I kind of felt bad for those who had to suffer at her hand in the name of training.
"I thought Alexia trained them usually?" I asked with a quirked eyebrow while instantly picturing her tied up once more.
"She had business at the castle today" Scarlett said leaving me confused on why Alexia hadn't told me.
"It's boring noble stuff" Scarlett seemed to notice and continued off of her statement.
"Apparently it's regrading the beast tournament"
"Oh" I wasn't surprised that Alexia and the royal family was paying attention to such a major event on the continent.
"Have you ever thought about participating?" I asked off handed as I sipped on the glass of sweet juice that was in front of me.
"Me the beast king?" Scarlett's eyes went wide before she stared at me like I had just cursed her.
"To much work" She looked disgusted at just the passing thought of the work she'd have to do if she won.
"And besides that old lion isn't an easy opponent" Scarlett said suddenly as she narrowed her eyes with a slight glint in them.
"True" I nodded in agreement after all even Alexia might have a bit of trouble if he fought the beast king.
"Oh!" Scarlett cried out as she looked down at the table like she was missing something important.
"I forgot my liquor…I mean juice" She muttered but changed her words when she saw me staring at her.
"Be right back" Scarlett sprung up from her chair causing her large breast to bounce and quickly headed toward the door.
'….' I watched silently as her meaty ass wobbled through the black fabric that was stretched almost thin.
It was the perfect opportunity.
My pocket felt heavy as I glanced at the half drunk glass of juice that wasn't even a foot away from me. My thoughts raced quickly repeating the same arguments over and over, Seconds passed and I knew that I had to do it now if I intended to go along with the request.
'Damn it!' I grit my teeth and swiftly brought out the vial while flicking its lid open.
'What is that?!' I almost felt nauseous when a sickly sweet sent filled the air.
I didn't have time to waist though and hesitated before tilting the vial. I watched as the pink liquid mixed with the juice and the color and scent disappeared as if designed to do so, The last drop splashed in and my entire body was filled with helplessness.
'I~I'm sorry….' That was the only thing I could say as I put the empty vial back inside my pocket with a heavy heart.
I was left in complete silence as I tangled with my own thoughts. Ella, Nessa, Alexia, Evelyn, Aria and my mother, All of the woman that meant the world to me and yet each and everyone had been tasted by Leon, And now I feared that by the end of the night Scarlett would join the long list as well.
"I'm back!" Eventually Scarlett returned to the dining room with a bright smile as she retook her seat.
"…." She glanced at me and discretely poured clear liquid from a small metal bottle into her tainted glass.
I knew it was undoubtedly alcohol as it mixed with her juice, My heart pounded as she reached forward and lifted it to her plump lips. I reached out slightly to stop her but I was to late as she sipped just a few drops, But I was well aware of Scarlett's love of alcohol as she gulped down a few mouthfuls until the glass was half empty once more.
"Ha!" She let out a satisfied sigh as she placed it down and resumed eating while keeping conversation with me.
'….' I answered as best I could while staring at the glass and its contents that slowly diminished until not even a single drop was left.
