Chapter 183: 183
Ch . 183 Do You Understand? (2)
When the party was in full swing, Carlisle and Helen headed for the room upstairs . She had prepared the place in advance so that they wouldn’t be disturbed no matter what happened here . She expected to spend a very long night with him . Helen gave a secret smile at the thought .
“Your Highness, will you please take your jacket off?”
Carlisle removed it without a reply . Helen swallowed hard as she noticed his muscled form was hinted underneath his tight shirt .
“I’ll have it cleaned, so please wait here, Your Highness . ”
She rushed outside the room with Carlisle’s jacket . Standing by the front door was Sarah, holding a tray of tea she had prepared . She had arrived at the party late and looked nervous, but Helen was so excited that she took no notice of it .
“I think the prince has fallen in love with me . ”
“What?”
Despite Sarah’s confused reaction, Helen continued on ecstatically .
“Instead of getting angry when I spilled wine on him, he looked at me in the eyes, and then…he followed me here . ”
“I see . ”
Sarah’s reaction was more muted than usual, but Helen’s mood was soaring .
“Maybe I don’t even need to use what I’ve prepared . ”
“So you’re not going to use it?”
“What are you saying! Of course with enough time he’ll come over to me, but I want him tonight . ”
Helen turned over her wrist, spilling the aphrodisiac from the jeweled bracelet into the tea . Her eyes glistened greedily . Once Carlisle drank this, it would be all over . He would lust after her body like an animal, and Helen would be the poor young lady who was forced to lose her chastity to him . At that point, Carlisle would have no choice but to take responsibility . She had the backing of Marquis Selby and Empress Ophelia, and Carlisle would not be able to refuse her . And after entering the palace, perhaps she could poison Elena and take the position of Crown Princess one day .
‘It would be nice to have a child tonight…’
There would be no greater power than to bear Carlisle’s first child, and made sure to eat foods that promoted pregnancy . She smiled and took the tray from Sarah .
“You can go now . Keep an eye so that no one else comes here . Do you understand?”
“Yes . ”
Sarah gave a nod . At any other time, her lukewarm reaction would be suspicious, but Helen simply smiled at the rosy future unfolding before her eyes . She entered back into the room where Carlisle was waiting, holding the tea with a brightened look on her face .
The time had finally arrived . However, Carlisle was simply sitting on an armchair looking bored . She admired the slender length of his crossed legs, but he looked completely uninterested in her entrance . She cleared her throat .
“Hmm mmm!”
Only at the noise did Carlisle’s blue eyes shift . He frowned at her and spoke .
“Did you go yet?”
“What?”

“Come back when the cleaning is done . Don’t bother me . ”
She was stunned speechless by his cold reaction . She thought they had a special connection . Helen’s expression began to wrinkle slowly .
“Your Highness, if you knew who I was, you would be ashamed by how I am being treated . ”
An unfriendly light shone in Carlisle’s eyes .
“Who are you?”
“You’ve already met me and you’re pretending you’ve already forgotten—”
“You want me ask who you are?”
Helen winced at the hostility in his voice . Carlisle could easily catch anyone’s eye, but standing in the line of his charisma was an intense experience . Helen suddenly remembered the time he casually appeared at a party with a man’s severed head . She had almost forgotten about it .
“I, I…”
Helen was confused in how to answer . When her and Elena fought at that party, she had faced Carlisle . She couldn’t believe that he had already forgotten her . Before now, she assumed that she didn’t have a large impression on him, but in reality she was completely nonexistent to him .
Helen bit her lip before putting on a smile .

“I’m Helen Selby . I thought you’d be lonely waiting alone, but I can help you with that…”
Helen placed the silver tray on the table, and handed over the tea laced with aphrodisiac .
“I prepared this as an apology for ruining your clothes, so please accept this . I won’t feel relieved otherwise . I will take my leave if you accept my sincere apology . ”
Despite Helen’s meek demeanor, Carlisle’s stony expression did not soften . However, he accepted the cup and slowly lifted it to his lips, as he even found exchanging words with her annoying .
He paused before he took a sip and inhaled the scent of the tea . Suddenly, his eyes turned sharp . His mouth twisted into a smile, and when he spoke his voice was terrifying cold .
“You dare—”
But before he could even finish, the door to the room burst open . Imperial guards streamed into the room, led by none other by Elena . As if that weren’t enough, a large number of nobles had gathered when they saw something was happening .
Elena observed Carlisle and Helen alone in the room, then addressed the guards behind her .
“Arrest her . ”
Helen’s eyes trembled violently .
“What the hell is this?”
“If you have any excuses, say it at interrogation room of the Imperial Palace, Lady Selby . ”

As soon as Elena finished speaking, the guards behind her rushed over and grabbed Helen by both her arms . They also took the tea on the table as evidence .
Helen began yelling hysterically .
“Let go of me! Don’t you dare! How can you do this to me?”
Elena stared at Helen with a cold expression and replied in a steel-hard voice .
“I was informed that you placed a drug in the teacup . We’ll find out what the ingredients are . However, you must realize that you can be charged with murder even attempting such a plan . ”
“M-murder?”
Helen’s eyes widened in shock . She had simply used an aphrodisiac . Even if it was revealed that she had no intention of murder, she and her family could be destroyed at the hands of society .
“What are you talking about? I never intended to kill him . I just…just…”
Helen was unable to connect her words, and Elena continued to glare down at her .
“Whatever your intentions are, just trying to secretly place something in the Crown Prince’s drink is enough to accuse you of murder . Do you understand?”
