The Princess Kidnapping System Made Me OP-Chapter 52: Misunderstood Kiko

Kiko placed her hands on her waist. "What do you think was going to happen?"

"What is that club for?" Freya asked accusingly.

Kiko looked genuinely confused. "Club? What club? Wait, you mean my pestle?"

"Pestle?"

Kiko sighed. "It’s what we apothecaries use to mix up herbs," she said while putting it away.

Freya was still not convinced. "And the door? Why did you lock the door?"

Kiko looked to the side, nervous sweat dripping down her face.

Freya placed her back against the door, trying to get as far away from her as possible. "I knew it!"

"It’s not like that! It’s just... it’s just... ahhhhhhh!" Kiko screamed, running her hand through her hair vigorously.

Faye felt her eyes begin to water. She was in a worse situation than she had thought.

"A crazy perverted person..."

The shouting stopped and Kiko stared at her with a blank expression before she glared at Faye. "Pervert, maybe but I’m not crazy!"

"It’s just that my potions aren’t exactly legal. But it can help you charm the man of your dreams!"

"Like I’m going to trust some sort of unsanctioned illegal pro—" Freya paused. "Say the last part again?"

Kiko smiled knowingly and leaned on the counter. "It can help you charm a n y m a n."

Freya slowly walked up to the counter, shut the book and pushed it to the side. "Any man?"

"Any man my dear," Kiko replied.

’Is that so...’

Freya’s mind immediately went to a certain young man, or rather dragon who had been ignoring her advances for the past few months now.

If it was anyone else, she would have gotten them by now but this one was needlessly stubborn. ’What is wrong with giving him a little push to make a move?’

Freya stared at the gigantic glass of potion on the table. ’I see why it is illegal...’

"How much?"

’Freya what are you doing?!’ She screamed in her mind, but her body ignored her.

"Straight to business huh? A small bottle will be more than enough and it only costs one silver coin."

Freya dug her into her pocket and procured a coin, but held onto it.

"Any side effects?"

Kiko was smiling, knowing she had won her over already. No woman could resist the chance to get the love of their life.

"The only side effects are a string of passionate nights..." Kiko said with a wink.

Freya’s face blushed when her imagination went wide. Her fingers were shaky as she lifted the coin towards Kiko.

’I must win his expression naturally! But the potion is made out of natural ingredients, this counts as winning his affection naturally right? Right?!’

The decision weighed heavily on her mind as she wondered what decision was right, and then with one sudden push, she slammed the silver coin on the counter.

"F-Five, I’ll take five Love–Heali—Love—Healing" Freya struggled between asking for the love potion and the healing potion.

But finally, she screamed in annoyance, "I’ll take five healing potions!"

Freya took a deep breath, tears rolling down her eyes. "I don’t need a love potion to get him," she said through gritted teeth.

"A healing potion is all I need."

Kiko signed disappointedly and put away the love potions. "I admire your courage, I’ll be rooting for you I guess."

The apothecary left the counter and walked over to one of the shelves. "What do you need the potion for? Sickness or injury?"

"Injuries and pain..." Freya replied, her voice subdued.

Standing on her toes, Kiko reached for the top shelf and pulled out two potion bottles. And then she walked over to another shelf and picked up the bottle of pink liquid Freya had seen earlier.

She walked back to the counter and placed the three bottles on the counter. "This one is for the injuries, apply it to the injury and it should heal in about a few hours."

She picked up the other bottle. "This is for the pain, tell the person to drink it all at once."

Freya nodded, taking note of everything. "What about that one?" She adhered pointing at the pink bottle.

Kiko smiled, leaned closer and whispered into her ear, the more she spoke, the more Freya’s eyes widened and then a faint blush appeared on her face.

"Come again soon!" Kiko shouted as Freya stepped out of the shop.

Freya sighed. ’How did I almost get tempted into buying a love potion...’

What would Wise have thought if he found out? She was about to walk back to the queen’s house, staring at the floor when—

Bump!

Freya bumped her head into a solid figure, a man that was as stiff as a wall. She was about to trip and fall when the person grabbed onto her, his hand curved around her back.

Freya stared up to see who it was, only to gasp—

"W-Wise?!"

The worst possible person she could have run into!

Her heart began to thunder in her chest and her breathing elevated.

The bag she had fell from her hand and she quickly picked it up to prevent him from seeing the items.

Freya did not want him to see the perfume she had gotten since he was the motivating factor for the purchase, neither could not let him see the potions or he would suspect that one of them was injured.

She quickly picked up the bag and hid it behind her back as she watched Wise.

Wise gave her a strange look, he had no doubt seen the bag that she was hiding.

’Please don’t ask, please don’t ask!’

"How are you doing, Freya?" Wise asked, "I didn’t expect to find you here."

Freya breathed out a sigh of relief.

"I was just taking a walk and decided to make a stop." Freya smiled nervously.

"Oh? What did you get?"

’No!’

Freya’s mind raced for an answer and then eventually she blurted, "It’s just girl stuff..."

"Really?"

He did not sound convinced...

And then to her horror, Wise stared up at the sign board.

—Darin’s Potions

[Seduce your husband with three simple steps!]

"I see..."

Freya felt like vanishing into nothingness.
