Poisoned Demon Lords (3)

We sat side by side.

Hehehe. Noel by my side.

Yes, I belong to Noel~

I'm his property~

Everything about me is his~

I would offer my body and soul~

Yet..

"Liliath, you're alright.. right?" He showed me a cute expression of concern.

"I'm fine Noel," I smiled.

I knew of course what I drank. Unlike humans, a small quantity like that would barely affect me-- that not to say it wouldn't.. Noel's cute.

The first dish arrived, appetizers. A delicious platter of thinly sliced meat with a long-- long thing going round. It was talking about the sauce of course.

I can't forget my manners.

I looked towards the to-be-wed-couple. It seems they have started their meal. It's important the host takes the first bite, that's etiquette.

"Not bad."

"Noel, what happened? Prune was poisoned, you said.."

"You weren't offered any wine weren't you?"

"No."

"But Nine was offered a few marriage proposals," I said on a whim.

"Since when.."

"That's brutal.."

"It's the truth though!" Jennifer interjected.

"The girl asked him out on a date, Jenn-chan's not lying, I saw it too," Gabriel added.

Prune had a stunned expression, Nine groveled in dirt.

Hehe.

It's funny.

I licked my fork.

Delicious indeed.

Oh, I can't forget my duties as the wife!

"Noel.."

"Yes?"

I gestured by holding up my spoon and opening my mouth.

"Liliath.. you do know we're surrounded by people now right?"

Ah.. I forgot to take that into consideration.

"Then.. at a later time.." I suggested, disappointed.

I took a sip of my tea.. it was lacking. It never tasted this way before. I prefer it thicker..

I shook my head. Things were becoming fuzzy. This wasn't the work of the approsodiac, I'm sure. That amount should only cause arousal at most..

The next dish arrived after a short wait.

It's an individual set of roast duck. Succulent, tantalizing.. smooth delicate skin to relish. Anyone would eat such a presentation.

"Liliath," Noel called out.

"Hm?" I sounded.

"Here."

I pouted.

"I'm just trying to be considerate here," he wiggled the spoon, my eyes traced the tip.. and I struck. "Um.. Liliath, Liliath? You can pull it out now.."

I kept the spoon in my mouth.. sucking..

No. No. No. What was I doing? I have to correct myself. What a disgrace.

I pulled away, a silver string formed, my saliva. Hehe, Noel is about to eat a part of me.

"Are you alright?"

"Yes, I'm fine Noel. Just a little.. out of it."

"Are you sure.. I don't think you're alright. It's the aphrodisiac isn't it.." he whispered.

I shook my head and quickly gobbled up the rest of the duck to prove him otherwise, tuffing my mouth to the brim with all the juice..

Then came the next main course, a transparent soup, green garnish floating together with light bubbles. A side of cube meat. It was well flavoured, something you can keep in your mouth and let it melt.

It's hot..

One dish came after the next..

"Noel, about that guy who poisoned the drink.. you were too right?"

"I almost did.. but I noticed it before I even took a sip.. Prune took some though.."

"What? Then is she going to be alright.."

"She's going to be alright, probably."

"I'll say if I feel anything weird."

"How about LIliath?"

"Hm?" I raised my head.

"She's.. she drank an aphrodisiac.."

"Hah?"

I smiled.

"Hey Noel.. is Liliath going to be alright.. she drank the whole cup if I remember correctly.."

"I'm fine, don't worry about me. A little wouldn't kill. Demon lords have high tolerance to any sort of negative ailments."

"Liliath.. you just.."

"Hm?"

Noel looked around in panic. Cute. I wish to push him down right here right now.. the only thing holding me back was all this attention we would get if I did so.. it would be exciting wouldn't it?

"Excuse me.. Miss Margrett.. is it alright If Liliath and I take an early leave.." Noel interrupted Margrett who was busy chatting with the viscount..

"Noel.." I tried to admonish.

"Please take note of who is speaking before interrupting.." the viscount said.

"I'll take on his blunder on my behalf, forgive me viscount."

"No well.. nevermind, what is it boy? You wish to leave early? Isn't that a tad rude to the host?"

"It's an emergency.. sorry."

"What emergency?"

Noel turned to me, I gave him a despondent look.

"Haah.. sorry, really sorry. It's hard to explain but it concerns her situation.. she ate something she shouldn't have a while ago and.."

"I see.. I'll give my explanations to the Earl if he ever asks. Go at once."

"No, I'm fine really.."

"Liliath," Noel spoke in a low tone.. scary. I've been a bad girl.. I deserved to be punished..

"Please be gentle.." I said, lowering my head. This is how it should be.. it was appropriate wasn't it?

"Sorry. Thank you."

He grabbed my wrist with a force that hurt. Pulling me along, I turned around to see the concern gazes of those at the table, Nine, Prune, Jennifer, Gabriel, Margrett--

I will do my best back in bed!
