There are a lot of things going on but I am sure that we can keep up on everything. Cayden still thinking about the incident. According to him, after he save the duke's daughter from her master. The girl suddenly jumped into him and they ended up sleeping together while having a very huge burden in their hearts. After what happened, the girl jumped off the cliff and died. She deliberately killed herself and Cayden carried that burden on him, as if he is the one who killed her.
After two days of waiting, we went back to the slave's trader. He immediately approached us and leads us to the person we are looking for. After seeing the person who is specialize to the potion making, it shocks me that he is just a child. He is around fifteen. It is indeed impossible for a child to make such potions.
The trader and the alchemist are talking to each other until they finally approach us.
"I heard you are looking for a rare variety of submissive spell? There are a lot of variation of it in the legal market. What are you exactly looking, for you to approach the black market?" He said.
I like this kid somehow. He is straight to the point.
"The truth is, we are looking for a potion that can removed the effect of submissive spell. We tried a lot of the potions in the market but none of them actually work." I said.
"Hmm… if none of those potions you are talking about actually works then you are right of reaching us. I am selling lots of S-class potions that can actually release some higher potion effects. But, why are you looking for it? What I mean is, why would you release a submissive spell that good to a certain someone when you can actually control them like your puppet?" He asked.
"I also wonder why, but I promise to that person that I will release him from that spell." I answered.
He looked at me with a very observing eye. "I see. From what I can say according to your statement, this person you are talking about is a sex slave, am I right? You wanted to release him from his fate. A virtuous person like you is not welcome in this world, but since you are my customer, I will look it over."
"Fulfilling one's promise doesn't make that person virtuous." I corrected him.
He suddenly burst into laughter but in a split second he also stops.
"You are funny. Forgive me calling you a virtuous person, I should call you a scheming one." He said. He left his sit and took a bottle of blue liquid and handed over to us. "That is my strongest. You can give it to that person you wanted to fulfill your promise. I must warn you. Before drinking it, make sure that person doesn't have a mana on him or else it will just come to waste."
"What if it didn't work on him?" I asked.
"It is impossible. But however, as a warranty, come back here tomorrow. But I doubt it." He seems sure to himself that the potion that he made is strong enough. "Oh well, you already have the potion so hand me over one platinum."
I handed over him the payment and we left that place.
That night, I instructed Cayden what to do and as soon he emptied his mana, he drinks that potion immediately. He emptied the bottle. Then in a few minutes his veins are starting to bulk up and he is screaming in pain. I already casted a spell so that no one will even hear what is going inside. He started spitting blood. For five hours, he was in pain. Is this it? Is he really going to be free? Out of pain, he fainted.
Before the rooster even crows, Cayden woke up. Now, this is the waited time. We are going to find out if the potion really did work.
"How are you feeling?" I asked.
"I am still on pain but I can cope up with it. However, my body feels so light?" He answered.
"Would you like to try it out, and find out if you are still on that spell?" I asked.
"I am very happy to know that more than anything." He answered.
"I am thinking what command should I tell you, oh wait, kiss the floor." I said.
Cayden looked at me and he just stared at me. It seems working. I commanded him several times but he didn't do anything. I called the room keeper to try it out and commanded Cayden to undo the concealing spell. I ask the keeper to repeat the words I will say like: hug me, kiss me, hold my hands and many more. Cayden even touch her but he didn't react at all. Is he finally cured?
Cayden was so happy about the outcome. But there is a final test.
"This is the final test Cayden." I looked at him straight to his eyes. "...kiss me and made love with me." I commanded.
"Are you really alri…" he stopped. Suddenly, he did walk towards me and attack me. He pinned me down on the bed and started to rip my clothes. What the heck!
I tried to push him over but I suddenly realized the difference between our strength. He is a warrior and I am a mage so there will be a huge difference between us. This is the first time I felt scared his eyes are blank as if he is possessed. I couldn't push him away. Is this the feeling of desperation? I couldn't calm myself to think another way to push him away. In that very instance, I wouldn't mind killing him. So, I used my magic to push him away, it sends him off few meters away from me. "Cayden Stop!" I shouted. He stopped and his eyes went back to normal.
"What happened?" He said. He was staring at me while I was holding the shredded pieces of clothes that is barely exposing me.
There are droplets of tears coming out of my eyes. What are these waters? Why? My heart is beating to fast, so fast that I couldn't hear anything. Am I afraid? My whole body is trembling in fear. This is the first time I ever felt this.
Cayden stood up and took the blanket that flown with him. As he is approaching, the drums in my heart is getting faster and faster.
"Stay away!" I shouted. Cayden stops from approaching me instead he looks down and left the room.
After he left, my heart beats even faster and I burst into tears. I was so scared. I am terrified. I didn't know this feeling until now. I clenched my fist.
(Cayden is the first speaker)
I was so happy when my body is not responding to any command that Silvy is saying. When we tried it to other people, I didn't respond to them even I touch them. I can finally have control to of my body. Am I finally free? Free at last from that terrible spell! I couldn't be happier than before. This is the best feeling ever. But then there is still a final test.
"This is the final test Cayden, kiss me and made love with me." Silvy commanded. What the heck? This is just too sudden of asking me. But I know to myself that I wouldn't be touching her. When I am about to say something to her… my mind blank out. Wait. This is familiar. This feeling is familiar. My hands are tearing something that I don't see it. Someone is pushing me. Who? No one is in front of me but what am I tearing?
Suddenly, I realized that Silvy is missing. Wait, someone is shouting. Then, I saw Silvy under me pleading. There are tears on her eyes and my hands are tearing her clothes. Wait. I remember this feeling. This is the same feeling back then, when I was put under the spell. Stop! Stop now! I don't want to hurt her. She is the only person who believed in me. Stop stupid body! Stop! Stop! Why is my body not responding? Please Stop!
She used her powers to push me away and I was thrown away from her. My mind went blank once again. As soon I regained my consciousness back. I saw her on the bed holding on to her shredded clothes. Hey eyes that is full before is flooding with droplets of tears. Silvestine Winters is not a woman that will easily cry, she is a strong woman. But right now, she was trembling in fear. This is the first time I've seen her like that.
What have I done? The only person who helped me is actually terrified right now in front of me. My heart is piercing me with thousands of needles. Seeing her like that bothers me. I don't want her to be terrified, at least not her.
The morning came, and I intend to bring food for her. When the bartender asks for my payment, I couldn't pay him back since I forgot to bring my sachet. I don't know why but I feel dissatified.
"Don't worry son, that food is in the house. We heard that somehow, you and your wife fought last night. Seeing you early today means you slept outside. Go ahead and give that food to your wife now." The bartender said.
"She's not my wife. But sir, she is so angry at me at the moment. Can you give me any idea just to make her calm down? I don't want us to be like this" I asked.
"Well, my only tips for you son is, you should buy her flowers. She might be angry now but once you give her flowers, she might forgive you." He answered. He handed me some money. "Here, go buy some flowers for her. I bet you might as well get it for free with that handsome face of yours."
I quickly walk outside and buy some fresh flowers. People are staring at me like I am some amusement. But I don't care about that in the moment. I bought a bale of fresh roses. I just wish that she will not be scared of me anymore. I went back to the room holding the flowers and a breakfast. I found her sitting on the table and looking at the bottle of the potion.
