Chapter 35 Rachel's trouble

NATHAN JACQUES POV
We're at a banquet and I don't see Rachel anywhere. She is not a friendly woman, but she eventually agrees to accompany me. I began my search for her by wandering around. Until I smelled her blood in that...forest? I utilized my speed to locate her on the ground. Her blood is nearby, yet her wound is not mending. When I glance at her, I notice that she is unconscious. What exactly happened to her? My blood cures her wounds as I bite my lower lip. In addition, I put some of my blood across her lips. She coughs and comes back to awareness. I return her affection.
"Rachel, what happened to you?"-I ask. She shook her head, grabbed my neck, and kissed me.
"What is going on with you?"-I said. Her eyes are gleaming, but not in a blood-red hue. I cut her hand and then smell her blood. Her blood has a distinctive odor. I haven't smelled it yet. I lifted her up, but she pushed me into one of the trees.
"Rachel, get up! Don't be a fool!"-I said. I pushed her as well, but she fights back as if she is being controlled or something. I believe she was forced to consume a special potion. I pin her to the ground and use my knee to control her thighs while also pinning her wrists.
"I-its scorching me. N-nathan, please k-kill me."-she pleads as her eyes turn crimson, but then return to orange color. She must have called me by my name for the third time. She pushed me up and took advantage of the opportunity to be on top of me. She rips my clothing off and licks me on the neck. Did she consume an aphrodisiac? I attempted to keep a firm grasp on her. She is a vampire, and despite being a female, she possesses great power. Her eyes flash bright crimson all of a sudden. She pushed me to the ground and then arose.
"I-I'm sorry,"-she apologized. She creates a knife out of her ice power all of a sudden. I grab her hand and spank her just as she is ready to stab her heart.
"What are you doing?"-I yelled. Her eyes change color in a matter of seconds, and tears fall down her cheeks. She even snatches the withered leaves from the ground. I believe she is attempting to exert control over her body. She is the duchess because she is a powerful lady, like Pricilla. My eyes widened as her body began to freeze, and all I could do was catch her. She smiled briefly before closing her eyes. I moved her body away from here. When I get at the castle, I enter her room and lay her from her bed.
"Please wait here. I guarantee you'll be saved."-I said. I went going to see the Skyfall fortress. Cynthia smiles at me as she strokes the newly born tiger cub.
"I suppose it's too late for you to come here at night, King Nathan."
"I absolutely need your aid. Rachel is now in a difficult circumstance. Something terrible happens to her, and she need your help, will you—"
She snaps her finger, and we find ourselves in front of Rachel's bed. She looks at her and takes a seat by her bed. I explained to her after she looked at me.
"We are at a feast in one of our kingdom's cities. I get the distinct impression that she is not there at the banquet, and I sense the scent of her blood on a neighboring mountain. Then she appears to be possessed or dominated. She froze in order to...protect me."-I said. She heaves a sigh. She pressed her hand to her cheek, and the frost evaporated. She sliced her palm and placed it over the wine cup she had made. She looks at me and smells Rachel's blood.
"She is compelled to consume both an erotic potion and a fidelity potion. Whoever made her drink this is aiming for her. This is not a potion that may be administered to any random being. She must have a stalker or be fascinated with her. She is powerful, but that man had to be stronger and have utilized different strategies. He considers Rachel to be a future wife."
"Faithful and erotic elixirs?"-I ask. She gave a nod.
"These are potions that individuals may easily obtain from a variety of potion shops. It's in the love potion section. However, it was outlawed some decades ago, thus these sorts of potions are manufactured as a deception or another method of controlling a person that the perpetrator desires. I'm guessing whomever forced her to drink this either escaped or abandoned her after sensing your presence. That is, they are one of your citizens. They must be from noble families."-she stated.
"She never entertains suitors since she is constantly focused on her work here because I leave the kingdom frequently. She's also been trying to figure out how to save you for a decade."-I said. She bites her finger and flicks some of it into the cup. After that, she mumbles something. It had to be a spell. She attempted to open her mouth, but ended up spilling it. I take the cup and swallow the blood contained within it. I sat on the opposite side of her and lifted her chin. I kissed her till I felt her mouth slowly open. I transferred the potion, and she began drinking them as well. She blinks and open her eyes. She pushed me out of bed.
"What are you doing?"-she asks. She wipes the blood from her lip and turns to face Cynthia.
"You are here. I suppose... I really screwed up. My head, ugh."-she stated. She clenched her teeth. Cynthia smiled as she grasped her hand. Rachel softens toward her sister.
"Thank you so much, baby sister,"-she said. She speaks.
"Who did this to you?"-she asks. She shuts her eyes.
"I'm not sure. I just heard a voice and followed what he said. And then..."-she comes to a halt.
RACHEL WOODS POV
I tried to remember who those men were, but I don't remember what happened after they did it.
"Two of them grasp my back and the other drinks two separate potions and kisses me only to force me to drink that potion. I then passed out."
"Those love potions are of a lower quality. It's the erotic and faithful potion."-she stated.
"When I see you, you are indeed unconscious, and when you awoke, you began acting out."-king Nathan.
"Just before I passed out, one of the men was undressing himself, while the other stated he'd be on watch. When I awoke, the first person I saw was King Nathan, not those men. I'm on fire within, and my mind tells me to be devoted and follow his orders."-I said. My head is still pounding. I can t believe I experienced that. Damn!
"The potion I gave you reduces your desire for sex, but it may be a while before I can prepare a potion to cancel the loyal potion. For a while, if he asks you for favors or when you see him flirting or making out, you will definitely experience the adverse affects of that pill,"-she explained. I take a sip.
"What are the adverse effects?"-I said. She sighed and went on.
"You will get envious, enraged, and the anguish in your heart will be unbearable, to the point where you will feel worthless. I mean, it's a sense that wives get when their husbands cheat on them. That's how it's mostly been. You must manage your rage or you will have the impulse to murder his women." -she stated.
"What?! Oh, no! I'd better find out who made me drink those. I'm confident I'll murder them!" -I said. I'm furious. 'Jealousy? That's quite typical. I've been in love with him for a long time, but I've been able to restrain myself and create limits. Oh my, I'm in big trouble!'
"Don't worry, I'm going to practice producing a potion to break that bond, okay? For the time being! Don't try to flirt or bring your girlfriends into your castle, King Nathan. Isn't it true that you don't want her to be uncontrollable? You should go back to sleep right now. As soon as I complete that, I'll pay you a visit. I hope I ll be able to do that for a week. Wish me luck."
"Okay. I'll come back another time. Good night."
"Good night. You guys need to be careful, okay?"-she says as she walks away. I sighed and returned to my bed. 'I wish his worried expression is not just a sisterly love for me. I want more, Nathan…
"I'm going to kill them if I find out who they are. Damn!"-he said. I thought he left already?
"According to Cynthia, the individual behind this is either your stalker or obsessed with you."-king Nathan.
"I'm not sure. I don't have any suitors, and I don't have time for them. How can a city-dwelling man like me? No, I'm not even acting like a female."
"However, your elegance still reveals your feminine side. Forget about it. Go take a rest."-he remarked as he walked away.
ULYSSES ALEXANDERS POV
I waited for her at the door of her room. I sense Nathan's presence, and when I peek out the window, they've both vanished. I merely decided to wait and ask her why King Nathan had arrived at this hour again.
"Hi. Are you expecting me? "-she asks. I open the door and we enter. I shut the door.
"What brought that king here?"- I asks. After she pins her back, she sits on the couch and looks up at the ceiling. She even closes her eyes and remain silent. Why is she?
"Big sister had a difficulty, and he required my help. It's the same thing that occurred to me on the first night we met. A specific man forced her to consume a faithful and erotic potion. She almost went crazy. I'm delighted to be able to assist her. But there's a problem: I need to learn how to nullify the effects of loyal potions. If I don't do anything, she'll have a terrible time dealing with it.".
"Is that it?"- I ask. She gave me that strange look.
"And what else could there be?" she asks back.
"Nothing."- I replied, and I was going to leave when he stopped the door from opening. She put her hands on my hips. She had undergone significant transformations. She is no longer a frightened, always a crying lady. She grew more bold, powerful, and fearless.
"Are you accusing me of cheating?- she inquired.
"You can do whatever you want. All you have to do now is remember why you've come and why I help you."
She took her hands off the door, and I heard her steps backwards. I open the door and go out. In my room, I feel like I did something wrong. That I have something I shouldn't have. When I can't smell her, I take a look around. Did she leave or what?
"How come Cynthia isn't here?"- I inquire. Pricilla set her cup down.
"We already think along the same ideas. Is there an issue? This is the first time you've looked for her."-Pricilla.
After Cynthia, the kids, and Wendell enter the garden, our question is answered. They take a seat. Wendy went to her father.
"What have you been up to?"-Chenqian. She flashed a smile.
"I need to go out and get some ingredients. I also go to Yael's place. But he and Yasmin were not around. Ildrich did not tell me where they headed. Did they go on a date?" -she remarked. Marko spits up the coffee he's sipping. As a result, the children chuckle.
"Did I say something?"-she asks. Cynthia's adorable naive smile made Chenqian laugh out loud.
"It's a one-sided affection. Yasmin has been in love with Yael for decades, yet it may be considered unrequited love."-Vincent. She gave a nod. Then, out of nowhere, a baseball soared at us. She snatched it.
"Hello, first princess."-she stated. Who is she?
