By this time, it was already past midnight.

But tonight is special. The entire Hanhai City seems to be lit up with a light that will never go out. Another firework rises into the sky, exploding into brilliant colors in mid-air, and those colors just reflect the hair of this blond maid.

...But there was no way it could be reflected on her face.

"Lift your head and look at me."

Chao Tide shook the wine glass in his hand and said slowly.

After being silent for a moment, the maid slowly raised her head. Under the fireworks that had not dissipated, she still had that innocent smile on her face, just like a puppet who only knew how to act according to the master's orders.

He has absolutely no opinion of his own.

"You know what? Every time I see you, I will have a clearer belief."

Chao Tide put the wine glass to his lips, took a sip, sneered, and said——

"That is, even if I am stupid enough to believe the smile of any other woman in the world, I will never believe your smile. On the contrary, I prefer that you came over in a hurry and wanted to protect my fiancée and you made a face at me.

That look."

The color of the fireworks continued to be reflected on Ariel's smiling face. As the prince finished speaking, the blonde maid's always smiling eyes finally slowly opened.

From these blue pupils, Chao Xiang could not read any emotion at all. Looking into her eyes, one felt the same powerlessness as when looking at the pool of water in the abyss.

Feeling powerless?

When the prince realized that he had the concept of "feeling powerless" in front of a mere maid, he put the wine glass in his hand on the high table next to him, and then immediately stretched out his hands to pull the maid away.

The whole thing was pressed against the floor-to-ceiling window glass.

Then, he stared hard into the maid's eyes, as if he wanted to adjust his mentality and use his strength to see through her in one go!

As long as this maid is even the slightest bit loose, he will eat her up and wipe her clean! Forever——!

"Your Highness, please do not wake up the eldest lady."

but……

The maid who was pressed down showed no fear on her face.

This voice doesn't even have any emotional ups and downs, as if it is a very peaceful environment now, and does not require any special context at all.

Looking at her, Chao Xiang was suddenly stunned.

Because he was stunned, he involuntarily let go of his hand, letting the maid go to the bedside, and cover Alice again with the quilt that had been kicked off due to poor sleeping condition.

"It's really interesting. You know what? Originally, I had never had any interest in a maid as a dowry."

Chao Tide wiped his nose slightly and sneered——

"But if what you are doing now is to use another strategy to arouse my interest, I have to admit that you succeeded."

"You will be mine, Ariel Garcia. Whether you admit it or not, it's a fact. You know what? As a dowry, as a maid, you now have the most responsible job.

It needs to be done."

With that said, Chao Xiang walked quickly towards Ariel, grabbed her hand, pulled Ariel directly into his arms.

Then, one of Tide's hands tightly hugged the maid's waist, and the other hand suddenly lifted Ariel's chin, forcing her to face him.

"Your mistress has completed the outpost battle. But now, your man still has needs. As a dowry, you should know what you should do, right?"

Facing this very powerful prince, the smile on Ariel's face still did not pause. She smiled slightly and said: "Your Highness, do you... really love the eldest lady of my family?"

Chao Xiang chuckled and continued to lift Ariel's chin: "What? Are you jealous? Or do you have a psychological burden for having an affair with the male master behind the mistress' back?"

Ariel turned her head and freed her neck from Tide's hand, and said slowly: "I just want to know how much feelings you have for my lady. This is purely my personal curiosity and does not mean any action.

.”

Tidal snorted, and when Ariel wanted to break free from his arms silently, he used force again and hugged her back into his arms: "Of course I love Alice. She is the most beautiful and most beautiful person I have ever seen.

A simple and kind-hearted girl. In this world, there is no one more suitable to be my imperial concubine than her. I believe you know this better than me. Instead, I want to ask you, what does she want from you?

Do you have any ideas about becoming my mistress?"

Ariel raised her hand, held Tide's chest, tried her best to lean her upper body back, and said with a smile: "Ah, I said it. I can only say that my eldest lady really treats me as a biological sister.

Well. She is willing to share everything she owns with me, even you, the respected Second Prince."

"So? Now, you won't have any psychological burden anymore, right? Even if it's to make me love her more, I will happily accept you, Ariel."

Tide's face kept getting closer to Ariel. At this time, the fireworks outside the window were emitting more beautiful and psychedelic colors, dyeing the entire room with a lustful color.

only……

"Your Highness Tide, do you... want me? Now?"

Ariel smiled, and her tone was also very soft.

Hearing the maid say such words in such a gentle tone, Chao Xiong couldn't help but lower his head even more, and his lips were about to touch Ariel's lips: "What do you think?"

"Shh-"

At this moment, Ariel raised her gloved index finger, gently placed it on His Highness's lips, and still said with that gentle smile -

"Even if it costs your life, do you still want me?"

Outside the window, the colors are colorful.

This Holy Night Festival party has not shown any signs of stopping so far. On the streets and alleys, everyone is constantly singing, dancing, drinking and having fun. Even in this imperial city, the sound of cups and cups is endless.

, the exciting music is playing, and the bands are taking turns to play, allowing countless styles of music to be played all night long.

However, such liveliness fell into stasis in the second prince's room.

Tide, who seemed a little excited just now, is now staring at the maid in his arms with wide eyes.

But this maid was still facing him with that plain smile, as if she hadn't said anything terrible just now, but was just chatting casually at a plain tea party.

"What do you mean."

Chao Xiang's eyes were full of vigilance and he said vigilantly.

Ariel reached out and took out a small leaf bottle from the pocket of her maid's skirt, raised it and stretched it to her mouth.

Snapped--!

Tide's hand slammed the small bottle out of Ariel's hand. The bottle fell on the carpet without making any sound, but the cap was loosened, but nothing came out.

"empty?"

"Yes, that's an empty bottle." At this time, Tide's hand around Ariel finally relaxed a little. Taking this opportunity, Ariel quickly broke away from Tide's embrace, walked over, picked up the bottle, and corked it.

Gai, facing the prince, shook it gently, "But, do you know what was originally placed here?"

Tide Tide did not respond, he just looked at Ariel in front of him with vigilance.

The maid didn't wait and directly revealed the answer: "It's poison. Moreover, it's a poison specially prepared by the flower fairies. I believe that no natural magician can remove this poison in a short period of time, except for the flower fairies themselves."

.”

"Then the next question is, if it was once filled with poison, where has the poison gone now?"

The smile on Chao Xiang's face finally disappeared completely. He pulled the straps of his nightgown, and after a moment of silence, he said, "What was in the wine you gave me just now?"

Ariel pretended to be shocked and covered her mouth with her hand: "Oh! How can this be done? I will behead you if you are found out about poisoning the royal family!"

But soon, she shook her head, stuffed the bottle back into her pocket, and said with a smile: "I won't do such stupid things. I have already drank these poisons myself."

As she said that, Ariel stretched out her hands, as if she was waiting to hug the prince, and smiled very relaxedly: "If I can't drink the antidote before 12 noon today, then I will definitely die.

No doubt. But I did not ask those flower fairies (Harmony) for the antidote, but asked them to give it to me before leaving the imperial city at 12 noon today."

"This is a special natural toxin. The production process itself is very complicated. It even requires collecting my blood to develop an antidote specifically for my toxin. Before this, these natural toxins

It has spread all over my body. My sweat, my saliva, my blood, any body fluids I can secrete will contain the same poison. What’s even more frightening is that once these toxins enter other people’s bodies,

Then it will mutate because it is not the original body, and finally combine into a completely new toxin. Although those flower fairies should be able to develop an antidote by extracting blood from the infected person, but that is probably not the case in detoxification.

Before the development of the agent is completed, people will already be unable to withstand the explosion of toxins and die."

"If His Highness the Prince wants me, of course I can't resist. But I will also let myself believe that I also deeply love you, Your Highness. Being able to die in love with you under the influence of the same poison, I feel

, I should be able to accept it."
