Episode 100

‘When you already have someone you love with all your might?’

As soon as I heard it, my heart seemed to sink with a thump.

‘No way, I didn’t expect it to be that bad.’

“Yerine, I hate love potion. You know it’s close to taboo for anyone majoring in magical drugs to bring out that word, right?”

“Huh? Yeah, I know.”

I nodded awkwardly and responded to Rayl’s words.

“I hate love potion because they falsely manipulate people’s minds. It’s about creating emotions that weren’t true love and it’s about making people misunderstand.”

“Yes, the love potion lasts only 15 days at the longest.”

Rayl’s eyes slowly shifted toward the chocolate.

He was looking at the box of chocolates with a really pathetic look.

“That’s right, manipulating emotions. It’s not real love. It can be seen from the fact that lovers made through love potion often don’t last that long.”

“But the drugged person acts as if they have more passionate love. Just for a moment.”

Rayl said, tapping his finger on his head.

“I mean, even a genius wizard could be fooled hardly by those fake emotions.”

The story that Rayl told me was interesting. But it was still difficult to figure out why he brought it up.

So I just smiled and answered back.

“I see. I didn’t know because I never really learned about love’s potion.”

Rayl stared at me, folded his arms and tilted his head.

For more,

When Eugene snatched the chocolate from his hand, Rayl secretly smiled with remorse.

Eugene, who peeled the chocolate wrapper with a hint of irritation, put the chocolate in his mouth.

Rayl smiled slightly at Eugene’s appearance.

‘Now, what will happen?’

Eugene chewed and swallowed the chocolate, and Rayl didn’t miss Adam’s neck moving.

“How does it taste?”

When asked indirectly, Eugene responded concisely.

“It’s delicious.”

At the words, Rayl smiled broadly.

Eugene definitely swallowed the chocolate completely.

“Hey, say my thanks to your brother.”

“Yeah, yeah. I told you it was delicious. I’ll tell him that.”

Symptoms of a person swallowing love potion include redness of the face, blank eyes, excessive heartbeat, and murmuring.

But Eugene, who looked down at the Rayl with his blue eyes, had nothing different than usual.

“Eugene, aren’t you a little hot?”

“Hot? No.

Eugene replied, frowning as if it was strange.

“Aren’t your heartbeats pounding unusually?”

Then, Eugene looked at Rayl with a suspicious look.

“No, why should my heartbeats be pounding now?”

“You’re saying no anyway, right?”

Eugene’s eyes, which looked at the Rayl as very strange, were unshaken.

With his usual sharp and clear eyes, Rayl was sure.

‘I knew it.’

The love potion didn’t work for Eugene either.

“If not, that’s fine.”

“Rayl Diamond, did you do something?”

Eugene, who is quick-witted, couldn’t just let go of this.

‘Oh, it’s a little dangerous.’

But it didn’t matter much.

At Eugene’s gaze, as he stares at himself, Rayl whistled and blew up.

“No way, I wouldn’t do that. I know you won’t leave me alone if I get caught.”

“I know that, but you’ve been playing weird tricks all this time.”

Eugene raised his voice and took a step in front of Rayl.

“You, be honest. What did you put in there?”

“I didn’t put anything in it.”

“Do you think your lies will work for me?”

In Eugene’s increasingly threatening eyes, Rayl crept back and thought to herself.

‘This guy is so quick-witted.’

“I really didn’t put it in. As you can see, there’s nothing wrong with you.”

“Not all magic potions work the moment you take them. Especially if it were you, you would have done something to keep yourself out of sight.”

“Eugene, I swear. I didn’t put anything in.”

“Then why did you smile so much?”

Rayl smiled nonchalantly and made excuses.

“That’s, I was just glad you enjoyed my brothers’ chocolate.”

“Is that really the only reason?”

“Hey, how many years have we been together and you don’t believe that?”

“I know what you’ve done with Jacqueline over the years, so I don’t believe you anymore.”

Eugene spoke with a sharp voice like an awl.

“That’s too much. Well, I didn’t put anything in.”

“Then you should try that chocolate in front of me.”

When Eugene said that, Rayl thought to himself.

‘I just bring chocolate with nothing in it just in case, but this is great.’

Thinking he wanted to bring it somehow, Rayl took out the remaining chocolate and peeled it off.

Then he put it in his mouth and rolled it slowly with his tongue.

Eugene did not miss any of the processes and looked closely at it.

“Now, I’ve swallowed it. Check my mouth.”

When Rayl opened her mouth, Eugene frowned and replied.

“Get rid of it. You don’t have to do that.”

“Yeah. Anyway, it’s okay, right? I didn’t put anything in it.”

Nevertheless, Eugene did not stop looking into the doubt.

“Didn’t you just prepare chocolate without anything and two chocolates with something in it?”

When asked the right question, Rayl clicked his tongue inside.

‘I don’t know he’s this persistent.’

“I doubt it no matter how much I look at it. What the hell are you doing–”

“Eugene.”

Eugene, who had been spitting out his words with a calm voice, stopped talking.

Rayl looked straight at Eugene and asked.

“Do you like Yerine that much?”
