I’m a Villainess but So Popular

Episode 99

“Who? Who’s that bastard is?”

No one opened their mouths to Cassius’s question.

As the atmosphere subsided, Cassius rolled his eyes and opened his mouth.

“No, it’s not because I would do something. I’m just asking.”

For someone who asks, your eyes are so scary.

Everyone seemed to have similar thoughts as I did, so we avoided Cassius’s eyes.

“Yeah, Yerine is so popular, that’s understandable.”

Do you usually say that it’s possible while biting your teeth?

“So what kind of jerk is he?”

Cassius was obviously smiling brightly, but the sight of it chilled me.

“I don’t know because I haven’t seen his face. I don’t even know his name.”

Cassius tilted his head at my words and Erica added a word.

“He gave Yerine this and ran away.”

“Is that so?”

Then Cassius stared at the chocolate.

It’s like chocolate has become his rival.

It seemed like he would calm down only if I said I didn’t know if he gave it to me to confess or just to cheer on me.

“Hey, Cassius, but maybe he didn’t give this for confess–”

I cleared my voice and explained, but I had no choice but to stop talking.

Cassius snatched a handful of chocolate at a faster speed than lightning and straightened it into his mouth.

Rachel, who had eye contact with him, cried out in surprise.

“Prince?”

Everyone opened their mouths when they saw the sight.

“Are you crazy?”

I stood up and took the chocolate from Cassius’s hand and said that. And by using air magic, the chocolate was sent out of Cassius’ reach.

Cassius, who grabbed my arm, fixed his shining golden eyes on me still.

“You don’t know what’s inside. So I’ll try it first.”

“Oh, my God, but who eats so much at once?”

“If there’s a problem, I’ll eat it and get rid of it.”

“Cassius!”

The rest of the chocolate was moved out of his reach, but the chocolate that had already been eaten was unavoidable.

Cassius chewed the chocolate and swallowed it in a frightening manner that could chew even a stone.

‘Honestly, it’s not because there’s something weird in there, it’s because you just want to get rid of it, right?’

I couldn’t even speak because I was dumbfounded.

“What if something goes wrong, Cassius!”

“I’m fine. Even if I eat something weird, I get better faster than others.”

I wrapped my head looking at Cassius who spoke confidently.

‘I’m going crazy.’

No matter how fast he heals himself, recklessly eats food that he doesn’t even know what’s in it is just too much.

It was ridiculous to do such a stupid thing for no other reason but jealousy.

“Yerine, if you felt its waste for the chocolate, I’ll prepare something much better.”

“Cassius, don’t talk nonsense. Listen to me. I didn’t know what was inside, so I asked Rayl to run a test on it. You can’t eat it like that!”

Cassius paused at the words and opened his eyes round.

“Oh, did you?”

“Yeah! Right now, Rayl’s gone to get the analyzer and reagent. I didn’t even have to eat chocolate in the first place. What if something really goes wrong?”

Cassius replied in a crawling voice as I spoke quickly and became angry.

“I’m sorry……..”

Astra, who was staring at the scene where I was angry at Cassius, opened her mouth quietly.

“But I don’t think the boy put anything in it. Since it’s just the same as usual.”

“It could take time for the drugs to go affect.”

Erica answered Astra in a serious voice.

“Yeah, I think we’ll have to wait until Rayl gets here. And Yerine, keep the chocolate out of the Prince’s hands.”

As soon as Rachel finished speaking, Rayl appeared in the classroom with various tools.

“I’m here, kids.”

Saying so, Rayl walked in with a light step.

“Huh? Prince here…?”

Rayl rolled his emerald eyes and said with a perplexed look.

“Uh, he’s just passing by.”

“Oh, I see.”

Astra spoke to Rayl, who is looking at us as if he was trying to figure out the situation.

“Rayl, We told him everything. The prince knows it all, so you can just do it.”

“You’ve been caught!?”

Rayl asked in a surprised voice and lined up various reagents on the desk.

When he asked if we had been caught, we didn’t answer because we had nothing to say.

“I’ve brought everything I can.”

“Yes, thank you.”

I said with a nod to him.

“Come on, give me the chocolate.”

I waved my finger at Rayl’s words and brought chocolate in front of him in the corner of the classroom.

“Here.”

Rayl, looking inside the box of chocolates, asked with a strange face.

“What? I think the amount is less than before.”

“The prince ate it.”

Rayl opened his eyes wide at Erica’s monotonous answer.

“What?”

“The prince ate it.”

At the words, Rayl looked up and down at Cassius, and Cassius scratched his cheek awkwardly.

“Did you have anything unusual?”

“There wasn’t.”

“Aren’t you getting a fever, getting cold, or getting your heart rate up?”

“Not at all.”

Cassius, who answered briefly, glanced at the chocolate and added.

“We’ll find out if you run a test. We’ll find out if there will be any problems in the future.”

At Cassius’s words, Rayl looked puzzled but did not reply, and was ready for the test.

“It’ll be soon, Yerine, I think we’ll get the results before lunch.”

“Oh, it works so fast.”

After breaking some of the chocolate, he sprayed various reagents and separated each according to his own standard.

Now all I really had to do was wait for the result.

“But no matter how I look at it, I don’t think it had anything put in it. The prince looks so normal.”

Rael’s words were answered by Rachel.

“There is a poison that takes up to 72 hours for it to affect.”

While dropping the reagent with a spoid, he closed one eye and carefully examined the reagent.

“Just because you ate quickly and were okay, doesn’t mean that it’s guaranteed that you’ll be fine in the future.”

“Rayl, words became serious. Don’t make me nervous.”

Astra spoke with anxious eyes, but Rayl shook his head.

“Well, I’m just saying it. It doesn’t mean anything.”

With Rayl’s words, everyone shut up and looked at the reagents and crushed chocolate.

About five minutes later, some samples began to change colour.

“Oh, the results are out.”

In Rachel’s voice, everyone looked at the specimen with their heads out.

“How’s it going? How’s it going?”

“Rayl, is Cassius okay?”

“Wait a minute.”

Rayl scrutinized each and every plate containing samples, and put down the last plate he looked at and declared.

“No problem. There’s no poison in it. It’s just a bar of regular chocolate.”

I breathed a sigh of relief at Rayl’s words.

“That’s a relief.”

Rayl shut the lid on the open box of chocolates and returned it to me.

“You can eat it, Yerine, and since the boy gave it to her. I’ll give it back to Yerine.”

“Oh, yeah.”

I picked up the box from Rayl and held it in my arms.

“That’s right, Yerine, I have something to tell you about the investigation you entrusted to me last time.”

Rayl said, nodding his head.

Inspection? The latest investigation was only in connection with the poison used by Leon Postade.

‘Did something come from the Duke of Diamonds?’

Even after the death of the Postades, Rayl has been trying to investigate the path to Leon possession of poison, but so far he hasn’t found anything.

I happened to be casual on the outside, but I was filled with thoughts of whether I could actually get a clue.

“Oh, that. Thank you. I forgot. Let’s go out and talk for a second.”

“Yes.”

Rachel cried when she saw us two standing up.

“You have to come back quickly! Class starts soon!”

“Yeah!”

As soon as the classroom was closed, Erica’s voice was heard saying, “I’m glad there was nothing.”

We headed to the corner of the deserted hallway, and I cast an anti-eavesdropping spell in advance.

“So, Rayl, what’s it got? Did you get anything related to the poison that Postade used in your province?”

Although he used anti-eavesdropping magic so the sound doesn’t leak out, Rayl hesitated to answer.

“Oh, oh, Yerine, you know.”

As he looked like that, I narrowed my eyes and asked.

“Why, is there something serious…?”

“No, I’m, I’m sorry. I didn’t call you because of that.”

I asked because I was surprised by what Rayl said with a very sorry face.

“Huh? Then what for?”

“That’s why I called you. The thing you’re holding in your hand.”

Rayl said, pointing his chin at the box of chocolates.

“It’s hard to talk in front of the kids, so I’m calling you separately.”

“What, no way, there’s really something in it?”

Rayl nodded and answered me.

“Uh. It’s not poison, but it’s a pretty mischievous prank.”

“Prank?”

So what happens to Cassius?

“So what happens to Cassius? He ate a handful of that chocolate.”

“Ah……a handful must have flowed in.”

Rayl let out a sigh.

I grabbed onto his shoulder and spoke urgently.

“Rayl, don’t drag it. Tell me quickly. What’s in it? You can make an antidote, right?”

“Come on, relax, Yerine, as I said before, it’s not a big harm to the body.”

Rayl raised both hands and said reassuringly to me.

“To put it simply, there was a love potion in there.”

“What?”

“I think he poured the undiluted solution in there. If it worked, there would have been at least a month of abnormalities.”

I couldn’t keep my mouth shut at Rayl’s words.

“Then the guy who gave me the chocolate….”

“Yes, he tried to make you like him.”

“So what happens to Cassius? Don’t you think we need to get him an antidote?”

But Rayls face looked quite serene.

“No, it doesn’t seem necessary. Love potion usually works as soon as you take it.”

Rayl turned his head and talked, looking at the window.

“Face turns red, the mouth is watering, and you shout out the name of the person who put it in. If the effects of the medicine later fall, you’ll regret it by kicking the blanket.”

“But Cassius……….”

“Yes, I don’t think it worked.”

“That’s a relief, but……”

“Well, anyway, so I think you’d better get rid of this chocolate quietly. That’s what I was going to say.”

“Wow, that’s really shocking.”

I touched my forehead with my hand and swept my hair away.

But Rayl, who was looking at me quietly, opened his mouth again in a low voice.

“But do you know some cases where the love potion doesn’t work?”

“Huh?”

His emerald eyes were fixed on me.

“There’s only one.”

Rayl’s thin lips moved.

“When you already have someone you love with all your might.”

Cassius’s face, which had not changed even after eating chocolate, passed by.

I remembered the beautiful golden eyes that were fixed on me.
