Bon Appetit (Manhwa)

Chapter 91

She needed an antidote, but there was something more important before that. It's about the powder's effect.

'He said the powder moves one's heart?'

She needed to know more about his answer, and Luana asked tremblingly.

"What happens when people inhale this powder? Please explain."

"It literally moves one's heart."

"What?"

"It's kind of a mind-controlling drug."

"Controlling..."

Luana looked at Gerald with a pale face. It also means that if Legion, who is now asleep, wakes up, he can become a completely different person. Luana began anxious.

'Who is the biggest suspect for doing this?'

An answer popped out in her mind.

'It's Gerald!'

She could have suspected the Rusti family who threw the powder, but Luana was also thinking about the possibility of Gerald being the culprit, remembering what he said the last time Luana met him. Luana tried to remain calm because she couldn't make it obvious that she suspected Gerald, and she proceeded to ask Gerald more questions.

"It can control to what extent?"

"It's a little hard to force tht person to do something they hate. For example, it will become hard to love a person they hate. The greatest ambition or greed that the person usually has. It's used to inflate that. Isn't that, in a way, a category that manipulates people?"

Gerald said a proper lie mixed with the truth. Even if you say so, Luana, who can't handle magical drugs, wouldn't know much about it and his answer was close to the truth.

After hearing that, Luana was a little relieved. The Legion she knew was stronger than anyone else. He has some weak parts in the novel, but now the story is different from then. She thought she would be fine. Luana began to ask the second most important thing.

"Then can't we make the antidote now?"

"I can make it, but it'll take a long time."

"How long?"

"About half a year? There are some ingredients that are hard to get."

At those words, Luana's expression distorted. All indescribable negative emotions are displayed, from sorrow and hatred to suffering.

Looking at her, Gerald thought this was why he couldn't leave her alone in the human world. Just as Elanya did, Luana will be unhappy alone.

Therefore, Gerald hid the truth and displayed a sad expression. He reached out and stroked Luana's head. She would've avoided him if she had recently become wary of Gerald, but now she just stood still because she had no energy left.

"If you're having a hard time, I'm always here to help."

"......Thank you."

Luana took a deep breath and bit her lips to hold back the tears that were about to burst out.

'I can't cry.'

Now was the time for her to come to her senses. Luana, who was firmly determined, raised her head again and took a step back. Gerald moved his hand away.

'Is he really the culprit? Or not?'

Luana was confused. She felt like she needed a moment to go and come back again later.

'Should I get in touch with Sarah?'

Although she could get the answers on her own, she couldn't stop Gerald. Luana needed another help. Luana thought about Sarah, and she said to Gerald,
