Erotic RPG: I am in the Game world, But My Heroines are Villainesses
Chapter 38 DinnerHave you ever felt like your mind is colluded after you take a medicine or after you eat a certain meal?
There might be some people who felt like they were too sleepy to think anything after a normal meal their mother had prepared. This is because of some substances in the meal that starts a chain of reaction with the substances in your body, which stimulates the feeling of sleepiness with the increased hormones.
And this is also the case for people who consumes a lot of bitter chocolate and coffee, which makes their libido increase.
This is exactly why I am trying to cool my head right now. After Alicia left my room, I decided to review the things that happened after she entered to figure out why she was doing this. However, since my head was still cloudy because of the herbs and poisons she mixed in my drink, I decided to wait for my head to cool down.
But that was not an easy thing to do. Although the system said it had already purified some of the negative effects on its own, my libido was already increased, and my insides were burning. My body basically had a lot of energy to waste at that moment.
Therefore, to calm myself, I started the only thing I could do without leaving my room. Doing a home workout.
Since, for the time being, my mana core is sealed to adapt to the changes it needs to go through, I have already decided to train my body and awaken myself as a knight if possible. So, it was not a bad deal for me to train.
Thinking that I started with a circle of pushups, sit-ups, squads, and pull-ups. Although Callius was not interested in working out in the beginning, after I became this guy, I decided to make a few changes in my room.
I designed a certain pull-up bar attached to the wall with some sticks and ordered maids to nail it down to the wall in my room.
Anyway, after doing the routine of push-ups, squads, sit-ups, and pull-ups for almost half an hour, I finally felt my head cool down. The fact that it took this long, even after most of the effects were negated by the system itself, shows how strong those poisons were.
Finally managing to cool my head down, I decided to take a cold bath while thinking about Alicia's behavior. I am taking a cold bath since I certainly don't want my blood circulation to slow down, but those details are not that important right now.
Thinking like that, I entered the cold bathtub and started recounting the talk.
'Now, firstly, when she entered the room, she had already brought a drink with her, which means she was planning to drug me from the beginning. However, before she even drugged me, the things she said was all about filling my head with the thoughts of revenge, although she said all those while trying to mask it with her affectionate gestures like caressing my cheek.'

'Secondly, there are the words she put in my ears after she made me drink those drugs. At that time, she must have thought the drugs had already started taking effect, so the words she used were more blatant and provocative. She tried to pummel my hatred towards Adelyn and Emma, other people who had always made Callius feel lonely or any other thing. Basically she was trying to force me to the path of villain. And by emphasizing that she was the only person close to me while she must be trying to make me assault her right there.'
I thought while remembering that little light affinity mana she released.
'I see. So, that was what it was. Such a cheap tactic. Since, in her eyes, I am still a classless person, and she must have thought that I couldn't sense the light mana she emitted. She did it in order to inform the person waiting in front of the door. So, that was what you were expecting. You were going to call the person in front of the door when I assaulted you, and after that, you were going to make my reputation even worse. Since she is the Saintess candidate, the fact that she is defiled would also anger a lot of people. As a result, even my status as the son of the Duke family would not be enough. It seems she wanted to use this to nullify the engagement without affecting the relationship between families.'
I thought while getting out of the bath and drying myself.
'Well, I don't have any reason to play along with that anymore. If you want to break the engagement, you need to pay the price for that. Even though I won't benefit from it, seeing that whore's plans are interrupted fills me with joy.'
After getting out of the bath, I read the book until it was dinner time. Since Adelyn had already started taking control of the household, I needed to attend the meals with the whole family together.
/KNOCK/ /KNOCK/
Hearing the door being knocked, I closed the book and said;
"You shall enter."
/CREAK/
Hearing my confirmation, a young maid entered the room with slightly trembling steps.
"Young Lord Callius, the dinner is ready. Madam is waiting for you at the table."
"I see; inform Duchess Adelyn that I will be there in a minute. You are dismissed."
"Understood."
After that, the maid left the room, and I checked my outfit and appearance to see if there was anything wrong with that.
If my traits are not satisfied, I am bound to make mistakes; therefore, I didn't leave before my outfit was perfect.
Wearing a white shirt with some golden armaments over it and black pants with a belt that has golden metallic frames, I left my room and headed towards the dining room.
On my way, I saw the boy whose identity I had borrowed for a while. He was trimming some plants in the garden while humming a song. However, there was a slight bulginess behind his head which is the place I hit. It seems he forgot to put ice on it for some reason…
Anyway, not long after, I reached the room and entered, opening the door.
The moment I entered, the scene welcomed me was the scene Callius was used to, aside from slight changes.
Before Austin left this world, he would sit on one of two chairs at the head of the table, and beside him would be Adelyn. However, now that chair is removed, only Adelyn is sitting there.
Aside from that, there were some familiar faces that I would see in the future.
"You are finally here. Let's sit; everyone is waiting for you."
Hearing Adelyn's voice, I nodded my head and sat on the empty chair beside Diana. Although the words and the tone she used were a little authoritative, I decided to ignore them.
After I sat at the table, Adelyn rang the bell to inform the maids.
"Now, everyone is here. Let's start with the praying."
Saying that, Adelyn signaled Alicia with her brows. Since this is the custom of this world. Praying to the Goddess of Light(?) for the meal before starting, albeit I don't know why they are praying to the goddess of light for the meal.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhile Alicia was praying, I didn't move my mouth since there was no reason for me to respect the goddess of light. She can go fuck herself, and I don't care.
After that, meals came. Although when I entered, the atmosphere was quiet, after some time, everyone became slightly talkative with the effect of Arthur being here.
Although I don't like this guy, he still has the charisma to become the future hero and the leader, albeit he lost himself in the feeling of lust…
I could also see Alicia glancing at me from time to time to check something.
'So, you still have hopes that I will lose my control.'
"Brother, you seem a little different. Did something happen?"
However, of course, my little sister didn't miss those glances either. I will call it a woman's intuition.
"No, nothing happened. I am just a bit tired, that's all."
"Ah. I thought something had happened between you and that girl. She has been looking at you from time to time."
"Don't worry, and I would have told you if something happened, wouldn't I?"
"Okay, I believe in you."
After that, nothing important happened for the rest of the meal aside from the slight smirk on Arthur's face when he was looking at me like he was trying to provoke me.
'I would not be surprised if our little Arthur was also in this plan of hers.'
I thought while walking to my room.
After reaching there, I decided to play with my lighting magic for a little while and went to sleep while reading a book about magic…
