Chapter 143: Is your potion really that insidious?

In search of an answer, Idan and Arabel turned their gaze to Esma, hoping that she would clarify the situation.

However, Esma was at a loss to understand what she had to do with it.

Esma noticed the coupleʼs questioning gaze.

”Hey, hey, wait a minute!” exclaimed Esma, and her voice lost its former calm playfulness. She could no longer tolerate these accusations without any evidence of her involvement.

”Your damn lover took one of my potions, didnʼt he?” she asked, beginning to understand why she was being accused.

She had sold many of her potions, each with unique properties.

”And youʼre blaming me for that jerk of yours taking a potion and becoming like this? Then, bitch, blame all the blacksmiths for killing innocent people because they forged weapons and sold them to the wrong people. Why are you accusing me? I didnʼt personally pour the potion down his throat!”

”Heʼs not my lover,” Lucinda replied flatly. Then, taking a deep breath, she continued:

”Although I admit that I may have had some feelings for him before, when he was a normal person, but after he changed and began behaving inappropriately, I lost all attraction to him.”

”Then why the hell are you so worried about him?” asked Esma, still outraged by Lucindaʼs accusation.

”The thing is, because of your potion, all my plans have been ruined. If it wasnʼt for that damn potion, I might have already left this terrible place!” Lucindaʼs words caused surprise among others, but not Esma.

Esme didnʼt care who took her potion or if anyone found a way out of this place.

”We were so close to conquering one of the Forbidden Zones, but almost before our last performance, the Hero somehow took your potion and lost interest in conquering the Forbidden Zone!”

Lucinda wasnʼt sure if the hero hadnʼt drunk the potion, they would have been able to leave this place. However, all previous attempts gave hope. But now everything has collapsed overnight.

Lucinda didnʼt want to spend her whole life in this damn place. She wanted to leave him. But she knew that she would not be able to conquer any other Forbidden Zone by herself. She already had a rough understanding of how they worked, and like Milica, she was sure she couldnʼt do it alone.

Unlike her, the hero was different. He had a Sacred Weapon that gave him an advantage. Thanks to him, he could withstand the Temple Guards to some extent and even match their strength.

Therefore, she could not allow anyone to harm the Hero, because he had a chance to help her leave this place. All this time, Lucinda has been looking for a way to restore him to his former state, but so far without success.

Every day the Heroʼs condition worsened. He was especially strongly influenced by the High Elf, who denied him his wishes. Because of this, his attraction to all female elves increased, and all the elves, including the males, fled the first city.

Furthermore, his connection with the Sacred Staff had weakened, and his current strength was only a shadow of his former greatness. However, despite this, he remained a formidable opponent.

Lucinda didnʼt know if there was anyone other than the Hero who could conquer one of the Forbidden Zones. Thatʼs why, despite all the problems, the Hero still had a certain value to her.

Although Lucinda initially did not interfere in the conflict between this couple and the Hero, after some reflection, she realized that the couple from another world has certain connections with two Valkyries of the ”Diamond” rank. This made her worry that they might harm the Hero, and she decided to step in to warn them and ask them not to act against him.

”So what? Why should I care?” Esma asked.

Lucinda didnʼt answer.

Lucinda was aware that she was just venting her displeasure at Esma. Although Lucinda couldnʼt completely deny Esmaʼs guilt. If Esma hadnʼt been here and if she hadnʼt sold those damn potions, things might have turned out differently.

”I repeat, do not do anything against the Hero, I will solve this problem myself!” said Lucinda, having said everything she wanted.

Although Lucinda wanted to talk to people from another world, she saw and understood that these two had certain connections with two other Valkyries that she didnʼt really like. Moreover, these two Valkyries had caused her a lot of trouble. Therefore, Lucinda didnʼt want to stay here anymore and hurried away.

”What a turn!” exclaimed Idan when Lucinda left. He hadnʼt even imagined that Esma could get to the Hero.

”Hey hey, Iʼve never forced anyone or drugged the potions I made. They all took them solely on their own, or someone else planted them,” Esma began to justify herself.

Idan and Arabel turned to Sierra for confirmation of her words.

”Yes, sheʼs telling the truth,” Sierra confirmed. ”At least there were no cases or rumors that she did it personally.”

”Then how did she make the Ice Valkyrie...” Arabel began, but Esma didnʼt let her finish the question, immediately realizing what she was getting at.

”Pride!” exclaimed Esma, interrupting Arabel. ”I just caught her on the weak side, and in order not to lose and prove her pride, she took the potion of her own free will in front of many.”

Arabelʼs right eye twitched when she heard this absurd situation.

”How did it go?” Idan asked Eulalia, referring to the negotiations with the hero.

”Not very well...” replied Eulalia.

”The hero did not demand compensation for the damage caused to his subordinate, as there were many witnesses who confirmed that it was his subordinate who attacked you first. If this had happened in a place other than the Adventurerʼs Guild, the Hero probably wouldnʼt have paid attention to the witnesses or the reason.”

Then, looking at Idan and Arabel, she sighed softly.

”But the Hero did not ignore your disrespect for him as the leader of the outsiders of this city. He demanded that you apologize to him tomorrow in front of everyone in the central square, and he demanded that...” Eulalia stopped, not knowing whether to say it.

”The hero demanded that Arabel become his maid...” said Eulalia.

Even without explanation, it was clear what the Hero meant by saying these words. A look of disgust crossed Arabelʼs face.

”Otherwise, he advised you to never leave the Adventurer Guild building,” Eulalia added.

Although she told the couple about the conversation with the Hero, she did not mention that he was also trying to win Eulalia over to his side. However, she flatly refused, which made him very angry. He also threatened her to never leave the Adventurerʼs Guild building.

Nemo also suffered from his threats just because he was sitting next to Eulalia.

”Is your potion really that insidious?” asked Idan Esma.

After Lucindaʼs story, Idan began to feel some sympathy for the Hero, but after hearing his threats against them, especially Arabel, all the positive emotions he had previously felt disappeared.

The fact that he was righteous before does not justify his current actions, and he will have to pay for it.
