Chapter 34

Ryden was wishing for a drunken mistake between him and Clyde, not knowing that his dream would indeed come true and not purely just because of the win

The two clicked their glasses together before taking a sip

The wine in the Empire's market doesn't taste the same as the one back on earth. In fact, it tastes much worse even though the wine they had tonight was already much better compared to low-end wines

As a result, the two don't enjoy the wine that much but they still tried to finish the whole bottle but it was mostly Ryden that is drinking

As for Clyde, his business side was thinking of something. The method of wine production was much more primitive compared to the ones back on earth

In fact, the wines are actually just mostly made from different species of grapes that resulted in different tastes

However, back on earth, even black grapes can be turned into different types of wine depending on the method of fermentation

For example, red wines are created by fermenting the black grapes with its skin. But if someone wants a white wine, they can use both white and black grapes but the skin would be taken off before fermenting it

There is also the pink wine that starts with the fermenting process of red wine but the skins would then be removed after a short period of time

That's the fermentation process in the earth but in the Empire, different wines came from different types of grapes

If Clyde were to create a never-seen wine and put it in the market, wouldn't that earn him a hefty sum?

Although this world is not like the earth where the rich has the power as there are Royals and Nobles in here, to gain power, money is not a bad starting point

After all, although Ryden can live a life incomparable to the lives of the commoners, in the end, compared to the strong Nobles and Royals, he was still much poorer than them

If Clyde were to start a business and it boomed, he can use the money he earned to form connections and amass his own power

When that time comes, he might not need to be afraid of the Empress anymore!

Clyde was busy thinking about how he should develop this business he thought of when he found out that his body starts feeling weird

Clyde placed the wine glass back into the table before fanning himself. His body suddenly starts heating up as if he was a fever

A weird itch also suddenly appeared in certain parts of his body and the inexperienced Clyde doesn't know what is happening to him

"What's wrong? Are you feeling hot? But the wind is actually quite cold tonight" Ryden asks curiously

As far as he knows, the current temperature is colder than normal. How come Clyde acts as if he was standing on an open ground in summer?

"II don't know, it might be the wine" Clyde replied thinking that since this body of his is not used to drinking, his current alcohol tolerance might be a shit level one

"I feel bad. I'll head back first and rest" Clyde said before standing up but he almost fell down as soon as he did that

Fortunately, Ryden reflex kicks in and the man caught him before he fell down

"Hiss ...! You're burning hot!" Ryden exclaimed out of worry

With this high temperature, Clyde might really have a fever, and Ryden can't help but curse his friend

As a man that lived his whole life on the battlefield, Ryden already realized that the wine has been tampered and that something was put in it

However, his friend already told him about it. David said that he would put something that is 'nourishing for both the body and mind'

If Ryden were careless while on the borders, wouldn't his enemy easily kill him with poison?

Fortunately, through the long periods of time and the several close to death experiences with poison, Ryden grew some tolerance over it and he also knows when something was poisoned

However, that has both negative and positive effects. When someone tries to poison Ryden, if the poison was not strong enough, he might not even feel it and it also would almost not affect him

That's a good thing as a high poison tolerance means that his chances of dying is low

However, on the other hand, medical drugs also have diminished effects on Ryden

If he were to be injured, most of the time, he would rather put medicine directly into the wounds instead of drinking medicines

If he were to drink the medicines, he would not have its full healing effect and it might be the same as him not drinking anything

Because of that, even though Ryden also drunk the wine that David puts aphrodisiac on, he doesn't even feel anything

Too bad that Clyde is completely different from him

"R-room" Clyde forced out that word. His body feels so hot and being held by Ryden made him feel weird

Right now, the only thing that he wants to do is to be in their bed to rest

With a sigh as the drunken mistake would not happen with Clyde being 'sick', Ryden can only carry the omega in his arms in a Princess carry style

Their close proximity made the itch that Clyde has to become stronger. He had an urge to be even closer with Ryden but he doesn't know why

Clyde is smart but it's not like people would easily suspect that someone puts aphrodisiac in their drinks

"H-hurry ..." Clyde cried out. The unknown sensation his body can feel made his voice sounds like a cat's purr

Unfortunately, Ryden was in too much panic to notice that. After all, Clyde is his wife and also the person that can help him save his life from the Empress

If something bad were to happen with Clyde, what is Ryden supposed to do?

With hurried footsteps, Ryden arrives at their bedroom and he placed Clyde in the middle of the bed

The omega felt empty after he can't feel Ryden's body anymore but his mind was too muddled to think of how weird that was

"W-water" Clyde said and due to Ryden's panic, he even forgot to just ask the maids to get his wife a glass of water. Ryden instead went out of the room while running to fetch water himself, leaving his wife alone inside the room

The more seconds that pass, the more unbearable the itch that Clyde has become. It comes to the point that he cannot take it anymore

Because of the heat and itch, Clyde starts stripping his clothes, trying to feel some more coldness

However, even until he finally took off all of his clothes, the heat was still as unbearable as before

Clyde stared at his naked body before realizing that something seems wet in his bottom

As such, Clyde weakly raised his hips to see a wet patch in the bed

When he touched where the liquid was coming from, Clyde's fingers made contact with the entrance of his hole and his whole body shuddered from the pleasure it gave him

"T-this ..." that sudden jolt of pleasure awakened Clyde's rational side and he stared at himself in shock

"A-aphrodisiac?" He mumbled in disbelief. Who could possibly want to use that drug on him?

The Empress? What for?

The Duchess? Again, what for?

Ryden? No, he wouldn't stoop this low

Just who?

Clyde wants to know whoever would do such a thing towards him but his mind and body cannot take it anymore

He was consumed by the drug's influence as he took his hardened member with his hand

That instantly sent a wave of pleasure throughout his whole body but it wasn't enough

As an omega in this world, Clyde would feel more pleasure from his back hole than his cock

In fact, the itch in his hole was even more unbearable than the one that his manhood has

As a result, Clyde starts playing with his back hole. At first, he only uses his fingers to rub the entrance but since the itch won't die down, he tried inserting a finger inside

"A-aahhhh!" Clyde moaned in surprise. An omega's body was really sensitive in that area and playing with it felt really good!

While consumed by the drug's effects, Clyde pumped one of his hands to his manhood while putting a finger in and out of his hole

Waves and waves of pleasure engulf him to the point that Clyde's continues lewd moans ring inside the bedroom

He was just playing with himself but it already felt so good. However, even with a finger inside him, it still felt like something was missing

Clyde wants more ... something bigger and thicker than his finger

Clyde's face filled with lust while touching himself is the scene that entered Ryden's eyes as soon as he returned
