“What kind of disease do you have? The sergeant said you would get better if I meet, but you seemed so relaxed at the moment.”
Archduke Kyar devoured her with his straight, unwavering gaze. “It hurts a lot. I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t eat. All I could think about is you these past few days.”
She didn’t think that it was a lie.
She couldn’t look him in the eye because his muscled body was too exposed that she could have seen his soul, but he swore that his cheekbones had become even more prominent.
Did he become thinner after five days since she last saw him?
She felt sorrier the longer he stared at his face.
Isabella never imagined that the love potion would have such troubling side effects that Duke Kyar couldn’t sleep and eat because she was not around.
Even if she was determined to make the antidote, she never intended to make the love potion again.
She didn’t mean to make money out of these dangerous drugs.
“I’m sorry. I’ll work harder in creating an antidote. I’m sure you’ll get better after drinking it.”
“Yes. You have to do what you are supposed to do.”
It seemed like Archduke Kyar hated being swayed by his emotions.
She nodded eagerly when Archduke Kyar repeated his words for emphasis.
“Yes, I will. But you’re not going to remove another article of clothing, aren’t you?”
Archduke Kyar was still in a state of undress.
That is why she couldn’t look him straight in the eye.
“You seem to like it, though.”
Amusement was evident in his tone.
Warmth flushed her cheeks in chagrin.
“You-You’re mistaken.”
“Your eyes tell me the opposite. They seemed to be very interested.”
He hit the nail right on its head, and Isabella waved her hand in dismissal.
“You misunderstood me. I don’t have any ulterior motive, so you don’t have to worry about anything.”
“Are you sure you don’t have any ulterior motive?”
“Of course. Your heart and what you feel for me right now isn’t true, Your Highness. Anything about you doesn’t interest me, and you, of all people, know that.”
There was a teasing note in her voice, and Archduke Kyar frowned at her.
“That disappointed me for some reason.” He mumbled quietly as he plucked his tunic hanging at the back of his chair.
Isabella was instantly relieved when she saw him getting dressed.
Honestly, his solid chest and sinewy abdomen had tempted her curious eyes.
She wasn’t aware that she could become so weak with desire.
It never happened before.
Well, she had never seen a man’s naked body in her life, so she didn’t have time to explore such desires.
