Chapter 191: Falldragon Flower
Frauc looked at the Gauntlet in his hand and then looked at Rexi.
A chuckle left his mouth.
"Indeed it has caused problems, however, it is only because of this we were able to take over this dynasty."
"Hmph... I want you more than this dynasty."
Rexi said and moved towards him.
Sitting beside him she placed both of her hand over his right hand, on which gauntlet was present.
"For now, give this to me."
She pulled out the armament form his hand and placed it on her hand.
Frauc smiled at her.
"If you hate this so much, then why are you wearing it?"
He was not afraid of giving the gauntlet to Rexi, after all both of them loved each other. And even if she gets to use the power of this gauntlet she will not use it.
"You know this thing belongs to you," Frauc said while pointing at the gauntlet.
"Hmm..."
"When Mother came, she gave this thing to you, instead of me. I just wanna ask, why did you give this to me?"
Alcohol and pills were getting to him, they were stronger than he expected.
Rexi looked into his eyes and then moved them away.
"Why do you think, I gave it to you?" She asked.
Frauc's cheeks turned red as he took another mushroom pill and a sip of the strong alcohol.
"You really love me that much?" He asked.
"Why else." She snorted.
Although the real reason was that she couldn't use the armament because she didn't love anybody enough.
"And by the way, your mother would have never given me this, if you were not by my side. She only gave me because you were present there." She took in another sip. She was correct, Frauc's mother only gave her the Gauntlet to cut off all the ties with him. If he was not present there, she might have not even showed up.
"Who knows. She seems to like you more than me. And she even believed in you rather than her own son." There was a sad expression on Frauc's face.
Rexi also sighed. She knew the reason why Frauc killed his own father. "Let's not talk about her. I have something special for you." Rexi said and pulled out a purple coloured flower form her space ring.
Frauc raised his brows, he has never seen this flower before. "What is this? I have never seen this before."
Rexi smiled at his words. "This is something special. I have saved it for you. I thought when you would take over this dynasty we would celebrate with this thing. However, you got very busy and even started eloping with other girls. So I got angry and never gave this to you."
"You really were that hurt? I am so sorry. You are the only person that loves me in this world. Sigh... Ok tell me, I will give you whatever you want today." He said and then moved his face towards her to get a kiss.
However, her hand moved in front of his lips again. "I have already told you that no kissing today. This is your punishment and you have to take it seriously or I will get even madder." She has already turned Rowen's woman. And she didn't wanna cheat on him.
Because first, he was a powerful guy and for all she knows, he might be very well watching them. And secondly, she felt something different with him. Something that she has not felt with Frauc.
"Ok, I understand that you don't want me to touch you today." Frauc has an annoyed expression on his face as he leaned back on the sofa, he also took two mushroom pills at a single time to elevate the discomfort he was feeling because Rexi would not let him even touch her body.
"Now at least tell me what this flower is? Or you are so annoyed with me that you don't even want to talk to me? By the way, let me tell you one thing, the promise that I have made today. I will never break it," He said again.
Rexi just looked away from him. "This is a Falldragon Flower. The best mind-numbing medicine flower I have ever cultivated. Once you taste that, you would not want to wake up for a whole day. It gives you so much pleasure that you will forget about everything."
Frauc looked at her and gulped his saliva. "Are you sure you want to give this to me?" He knows how much of an addict his wife is and it's very hard to get some of her concoctions from her. And after he stopped having sex with her. She turned to even more mind-numbing concoctions.
"You know, I can't have sex with you and you might need this flower latter." For cultivators, these drugs do little to no harm. And if they want they could just clean the body up with one cultivation session. That is the reason why he was not against her taking drugs and alcohol in such heavy amounts.
Unless they do not contain a poison that could enter their spirit veins it was not big trouble for them.
"Idiot, who said you could have it all. I will only give you one petal of this flower and after all, if you consume this whole flower than you may very well need one month to completely clean this out of your body. Just stop dreaming and here swallow this with alcohol."
She said and plucked out a petal from the beautiful looking flower. Her thin fingers moved elegantly and the petal slowly started to float over her hand and then slowly moved towards Frauc.
"Place it on your tongue and witness the true magic. You will forget about everything. This world, this dynasty, your brother, this gauntlet and even me..." She said seductively.
Frauc raised his brows. "Well, this doesn't seem like a good thing. Give me the gauntlet and let me place it in the formations. This is a very important treasure and I have to protect it. Without it we are nothing."
"Don't worry about it, I will do it for you. Just open your mouth and accept my gift." Rexi tried to persuade him. If he placed the gauntlet in the formations then she won't be able to steal it.
As just with a touch the gauntlet will move in his hand. And with gauntlet in his hand, he will have immense power and he would be able to easily flush out the sedating effect of Falldragon flower.
"Darling, you have to understand. This gauntlet is our lifeline, so I have to keep it protected. I promise you that once I place it there I will do whatever you want. However, currently, I can't take this Flower. This could be dangerous."
Rexi listened to him and an annoyed expression appeared on her face. Her eyes narrowed and she took off the gauntlet and threw it in his face the Falldragon petal that was floating in the air also fell down in Frauc's lap.
"Why? You don't believe me? After all that! I thought you loved me. And now this. Does this mean you will also not keep your promise?" She stood up in anger. "Yes I should have known it from the start, you never loved me! Even after I have sacrificed so much for you. I have even risked my life for you once! And you pay me like this!"
The alcohol bottle in her hand flew and splashed against a portrait that was hanged on the wall. Shattering the glass pieces. She started moving with heavy steps and moved towards the wooden door and finally turned around.
"Ok! This is it! I know you don't trust me and neither you love me! Now I am leaving your dynasty. Have fun alone! And if you dare follow me then you will only find my dead body!" She said and opened the wooden door.
"Wait! Are you crazy? This has nothing to do with trust. I obviously love you and I have proved it before. Ok, ok... Here keep it!" Frauc said and quickly caught up with Rexi. His hand captured hers and he stopped her from moving out.
"Come in, why are you getting so serious at such small matter. Just keep that damn gauntlet. Here!" He pushed her on the sofa and placed the gauntlet in her hands.
"Now do you believe me? I love you more than this armament and I am doing all this for you and no one else." His hands moved over her cheek and he tried to kiss her again. This time forcefully. However, suddenly, he felt a kick in his gut that pushed him down.
"You are forgetting your punishment?" Rexi said with a displeased but cute tone.
Frauc listened to her and chuckled. "Now that the spirit. Ok now, look at this..." He said and placed the petal that was on the floor in his mouth.
He then stood up and opened his arms. "Now I have taken this gift of yours. Now kiss me... You can at least do that for me?"
"You think you will be able to stand up after taking that flower? It is still in your mouth." Rexi stood up and said teasingly.
"Hahaha... You think some random flower can knock me..." Before he could finish his words, his body slowed down and his eyes closed.
