Who Is Ester Winch?

Chapter 80

A hidden door suddenly opened revealing a multiple tiny box aligned in a row.

She took one and closed the door.

She headed back in her seat and place the tiny box in the table.

She opened it and there this chocolate that I can smell from where I am.

I tried to touch it if it’s really chocolate but Dahlia slaps my hand and stopped me from touching it.

“No! This is a dangerous drug that can make anyone go crazy for it.”

What? She’s exaggerating it. I understand that children would go crazy from eating chocolate, not literally…just tantrums but the adults won’t.

I would not go crazy from touching it.

I touch it, which makes Dahlia shocked.

I pulled back my hand and touch it again.

She screams.

I keep doing that over and over again.

“See…I’m not going crazy.”

“Go away!” she hides the chocolate back in the cabinet.

Why she has dozen of those, it will give her cavities.

“You just touch a dangerous drug! Go and wash your hands!” I think she’s the one going crazy.

“Faster and wash it!”

She’s overreacting. What’s so wrong about chocolate that she’s been calling it a dangerous drug.

I saw that there’s a chocolate in my finger that it came from when I touch it.

I want Dahlia to be paranoid than she was so, I lick my finger and let her see.

She screams and looks about to faint.

There’s nothing wrong… It taste like chocolate.

“Why did you put it in your mouth?!” She shouted and walked back and forth.

“What I should I do? What should I do?”

I raised my eyebrow, “ It is just a chocolate. What is so wrong about it?” I asked.

She stopped and held both of my shoulder, “What chocolate are you talking about? And, why are you so calm?!”

She looked like she wanted to kill me and her teeth gritted between her lips.

“I do not know why you are overreacting. It is just a sweet.”

“Sweet!” she shouted, “ You have eaten a dangerous drug. If you are found out, you will face death. No exception!”

I felt terror in my spine, why did she not tell me sooner?! I did not know just a bit of a taste of chocolate could get me killed!

“What should we do now?” I gritted my teeth.

“Do not ask me!”

Both of us now were gritting our teeth and hugging our knees.

“Tell me if you are feeling something.”

I got scared even more, “Am I supposed to feel something?”

“I do not know! I have not seen a person reaction after tasting the drug before!”

Right, chocolate is not allowed.

It was just a chocolate. What is so wrong about chocolate? Calling it drug and would be killed if found out. It was a bit harsh.

“Ma’am?”

We heard a knock on the door.

Our eyes widened. We got to our place hurriedly. I saw that Dahlia was about to stumble but got to redeem herself immediately.

I sat on the seat that I sitted before then we fixed our position and pretended nothing happened.

Dahlia cleared her throat before she spoke. “Come in.”

The knight entered and read the room. I notice that he sensed something so I faked a smile to get his attention.

“Sorry to disturb you in your talk but I am here to inform you the Knight Commander of the Aurelius Kingdom will be here in five minutes.”

I heard a faint thud coming from under Dahlia’s table. I saw her hands turned into fist.
