Chapter 500 - [Bonus ] Aphrodisiac

Three days back Haldir was talking to Adrianna in the palace about his trepidations regarding his child. Although Adrianna was well aware of it, she hadn't openly talked to Haldir about it, and the main reason was that she didn't want to get in between the two brothers or the laws of Evindal. 

She knew that one man she could never cross was Theodir. He was too powerful and at the moment he was on a severe mission. The man had been craving for an heir for hundreds of years. Now that his bloodline was blessed with it, he would never leave the child. 

However, when Haldir came to her and talked openly about it, she had to help him. The risk was very high, but then she called Ileus and Anastasia to formulate a plan. The plan was as follows:

Haldir had to keep a close watch on Ilyana's movements. He wanted her to be alone and unsuspecting so that Adrianna could enter her cell. And the opportunity came when Ilyana watched Inyanaga in the courtyard with her baby. He informed Adrianna, who came to their mansion immediately. While Ilyana was watching the mother and son, it took precisely five minutes for Adrianna to sweep through her cell, mostly because Ilyana was already thinking about how she was deceiving her husband. And so the doors of that memory were open. After that, things became far easier when Ilyana walked to meet Inyanaga. All Inyanga did was to keep her talking so that the others could do their job. 

Adrianna went back to the palace to tell Ileus about what she read in Ilyana's cell. The wolf cunningly formed a plan. Since now he knew where Ilyana had stored her herbal potion, he went to the healers, asked for aphrodisiac and a generous amount of fertility potion, and went back to Ilyana's room to replace the potion. He had thrown all her herbal potions in the bathroom as he filled the bottles with his special one. After that he vanished from Haldir's mansion. 

He directly went to Anastasia and asked her to invite Theodir that evening to the temple on the pretext of worshipping the gods. The elf king took the bait. 

Well, it wasn't untrue. Theodir was like a god to the Lore people and so it also brought opportunity for the denizens of Draoidh to be close to him. It was a different thing that Anastasia took advantage of the situation. She asked the priest to serve them with the wine she had brought after the ceremony. The wine was spiked with aphrodisiac, which Ileus had given. She had taken just a sip, but Theodir—the man whom everyone was watching, drank it all. Reason—he had to show his superiority over all of them. The pitcher was large and so was the quantity of aphrodisiac. Reaction set in pretty early. 

The Mozias were asked to be on guard, so that when Theodir wanted to go back, a portal could be made with ease and so that he would rush back to his room. 

And when he entered his room, Ilyana was waiting for him—naked and wanting to be fucked by him. 

Next day Ileus called Theodir to the library and asked Haldir to call his brother. Haldir talked to him about sending Ruvyn to Evindal but after the baby grew out of the nursing stage. That distracted Theodir to the extent that Ileus spiked his drink with more aphrodisiac and he couldn't even come to know about it. On top of that Ileus threw the books on the table. Theodir was barely able to control his lust for his wife who was already crying for him to fill her, and the books—well, let's just say that it was like adding fuel to the fire. Theodir gulped the whiskey in one go. When Ileus shoved those books in his hands, he stormed out of the study and back to his room. 

--- 

So, the two men clinked their glasses again in the study. "That plan of yours was brilliant," Haldir laughed softly. "I was half-believing it would work."

Ileus tilted his head as his lips tugged up at the memory. The thing was that even Anastasia took a sip of the strong dose of the wine with aphrodisiac in the temple. That night she hadn't let him sleep. And Ileus—he had all the fun he hadn't in so many days. He had to tie her to keep her from moving more as he drove inside her. "Yes, it was one of the best evenings I have had in a long time," he said as he placed his arm behind his head and swirled the wine in his glass. 

Theodir and his wife were in it for a long time. The mansion rocked with yet another roar and this time Haldir burst out laughing. 

For the next two more days, Theodir and Ilyana weren't seen out of their room. The servants had gossiped and gossiped until they grew bored. Haldir and Inyanga had relaxed evenings after a long time. Though they still worried what Theodir would decide for Ruvyn, at least they tried.

It was on the third day that Theodir came out of his bedchamber, looking utterly spent. He hadn't had this much sex in his entire life as he had had in the past four days. His wife had surprisingly become too receiving and lusty. He loved this new side of hers, and for the love of god, he didn't know why she was only thinking about him all the time or why was she begging him to have more sex to be pregnant with his baby. 

Haldir had called both Theodir and Ilyana for dinner with Ileus and Anastasia. Even as Theodir walked to the dining hall, Ilyana didn't accompany him. Well, how could she? She was too sore to walk two steps also. "She is not feeling well," said Theodir as a flush rose in his cheeks at that excuse. How could he say that she was thoroughly used by him? 

"Not well?" Inyanga asked. "Should I send healers to her?" 

"Oh no!" Theodir blurted. "I have taken care of it." He rubbed cream between her thighs and also gave her a hot water bath. He did the same for himself. He hoped no one noticed the slight limp with which he was walking. 

"I see…" Inyanga said politely. 

Theodir silently ate his food, his thoughts completely occupied by his wife's condition, when Haldir interrupted, "Have you given consideration to my request?" 

"What request?" Theodir asked, almost jumping. 

Haldir raised his eyebrow. "About leaving Ruvyn here till he is in nursing stage?" 

"Oh! That one." He inhaled heavily. "I haven't had time to think about it."

"Why?" Haldir asked innocently. "You were mostly in the bed— I mean mansion." 

Theodir flushed. Gods, he hadn't blushed this much in his life. His gaze went to Ileus who was watching him intently with those golden eyes and then Anastasia who was smiling as her wings fell behind her on the chair. "I will let you know by tomorrow." 

Haldir pursed his lips feigning a crestfallen expression. "Then please let me know about it as soon as possible. We will have to pack Ruvyn's clothes and other items," he pressed further. 

Theodir winced.
