Even though she was trying very hard not to breathe, she still inhaled some of the potion. Her chest slowly grew heavy and the heaviness slow spread to the rest of her body. She grunted, trying to fight against the feeling the potion brought upon her. Her body arched, as if enduring great pain.
Hesier was a mage and was Anthony’s advisor. He had a lot of relationships, but he had never found any woman as beautiful as Alice. He reached out with a hand, wanting to grab Alice’s shoulder.
Alice’s body began shaking. She was shaking only because she was in great pain. Even a situation like this did not dull her mind. She knew what Hesier’s potion was, and she knew she must remain conscious in order to keep the potion’s effects from taking over. She bit down hard on her tongue, hoping the pain would keep her awake. When the pain wasn’t enough, she bit herself again and again. Blood seeped through her pursed lips.
