Everything became clear

"What is the meaning of this?"

She asked the maid with some anger in her voice, as the worker knelt beside her with teary eyes.

"Forgive me, Mistress! I had no choice! "

The brown-haired girl helped her dress up.

"Whatever… just help me get into the palace without anyone noticing…"

She stood on her feet, rubbing her wrists.

'How do I get rid of this?'

Traces of the rope were clearly visible.

Eventually, they successfully reached Ariana's room, and she interrogated the unfaithful maid, while taking a hot bath.

Kathy sniffed while kneeling next to the tub.

"So you're saying that Jürgen has been watching my every move for months…"

"Yes…"

'How stupid I am… I focused so much on the original story that I didn't even notice… that my enemy was going crazy for me… and it was so obvious… so on second thought he kept looking for the opportunity to touch me… it was weird from a gay guy and then… no matter how I look at it, he had no reason to hang around me all this time… but I'm blind! '

"Yet what has changed? So far, he has followed me as a silent observer in the shadows… what encouraged him so much to moor and fuck me? Plus, it looks like he wants to do thin on a regular basis… Something must have happened… but what? "

She chewed his thumb as he tried to recall his recent events… but nothing came to mind.

"For that matter…"

Kathy finally spoke.

"Yes?"

"When you lay feverishly a few days ago - disguised as a servant, Lord Jürgen … he nursed you all night."

"Huh? Hah… "

Ariana was completely flabbergasted. Suddenly the image came together… the erotic dream, the familiar pain… everything became clear.

"Hahahaha!"

She laughed painfully.

'So this bastard raped me when I was helpless… and got a taste of the thing… I already understand. Yet what about this body… maybe some kind of aphrodisiac is flowing in my veins? Where did things go in a completely different direction… how did two gay men become obsessed with this body? '

She looked at her hands thoughtfully.

"Is there anything else I don't know about?"

"Well, Lord Jürgen thinks the king is obsessively in love with you, Mistress."

"Yes, he mentioned that to me."

"And… he thinks the king is poisoning you with some contraceptive so you don't get pregnant… so he could keep you here forever."

"It has already occurred to me… but is there any evidence for this theory?"

"Before the Mistress moved in, the doctor handed a bottle of herbal potion to the head maid… which the head maid must have given you, because I heard her later reported the successful dosage to the doctor… but unfortunately I don't know where and how my mistress got it."

"Maybe it's poured into the bath water?"

"No, it certainly isn't. The bath water is always made by me, and the decoction I sometimes pour into it… I always buy it from the pharmacy with my own hands. "

"According to them, it is contained in some food or drink… but a contraceptive effect lasts for weeks after the last intake… I can't stay without food and water for weeks… Ah!"

She held her head hopelessly.

'It would be different, if I could go out to the city on a daily basis… then I could eat there… but here… everything goes under the hands of the head maid… However, if I don't get pregnant… I never get out of here… and if Jürgen comes to me every day… I will die in exhaustion, before I could bear the heir to the throne. '

"My God…"

Her voice trembled.

"Mistress! If… if you want, I will help you escape! I…"

"Silence! Don't even think about it! Who do you think would be held accountable first? Those two maniacs would slaughter your family without a word… "

She silenced the girl, then stood up and gestured for her robe.

'In vain… even if I got grind up stress and exhaustion… This body was designed for only 23 years anyway… I can't pull innocent lives with me…'

"The most important thing is to make sure of the king's feelings, if he is really in love with me… maybe there is still hope."

Ariana was excitedly prepared for the evening, hoping Jerome would finally visit, and she could get the answers she had been waiting for so long.

As she waited for her husband in a beautiful silk dress with braided hair, suddenly the door opened and a male figure entered her room.
