The Ultimate Husband
Chapter 5793

However, Natalie was still feeling intoxicated. She shook her head when she heard Darryl's advice. "We've only finished one jar of wine. How can we stop now?"

Then, she smiled as she looked at Darryl. "There's a saying in the Nine Mainland-when you drink with an ally, no amount of wine is enough; when there's nothing to speak of, even one word is too much. Are you saying that you don't see me as a friend, and that's why you're unwilling to drink with me?"

'Er...'

Darryl did not know whether to cry or laugh. "Why wouldn't I see you as a friend?"

At that moment, Darryl was frustrated. He could tell Natalie was slightly drunk, but he did not have the heart to ruin her fun.

As Darryl was feeling frustrated, Natalie opened another jar of wine.

"Did you know?" Natalie poured the wine and said, "Though I've become the Empress, I've also been unhappy all those years. Everyone is watching me all the time."

"Sometimes I wonder how nice it would be if I had not become the Empress. I could go wherever I wanted and do whatever I enjoyed. I could go to places I liked, and no one would interfere...

"I always think of Father and two of my brothers. How nice it would be if they were here. Then, I could live freely..."

For a moment, Natalie confided in Darryl and spoke her thoughts without reservations.

Darryl secretly sighed; he sympathized with Natalie.

'Who would have thought that a strong lady with a superior status would be so lonely.'

"Come!" After Natalie poured her heart out, she raised her glass. "Cheers." Then, she was about to finish the wine in one gulp.

Darryl stopped her. He said, "Natalie, you've had too much wine. Stop drinking."

"No, I'm not drunk!" Natalie shook her head stubbornly, and at the same time, she wanted to snatch the glass back. Suddenly, her body trembled, and her forehead was covered in sweat. Her face was flushed and pale. 'What's happening? 'Why do I feel so uncomfortable all of a sudden?'

At that moment, Natalie felt a stream of heat flowing through her body, and her internal energy was almost out of control. Quickly, she felt like her body was on fire, and the heat became more intense.

"I don't feel good..."

Finally, Natalie could not bear it, and

she moaned in pain. Her body was paralyzed on the wooden sofa as she shivered. Her delicate face also looked pained.

'F*ck!"

Darryl was shocked to see Natalie's face.

Quickly, Darryl calmed down, and he figured out what had happened. Natalie had taken a few elixirs before they started drinking. Before her body had completely absorbed the elixirs' effect, the wine distorted the energy in her body.

It was a big no-no to drink after taking elixirs.

'I was too busy chatting and catching up with Natalie. How could I have forgotten about that?'

Then, he said, "Natalie, don't worry. I'll call for help."

'In that case, taking some Phosphorus Herb would solve the issue.'

'Phosphorus Herb is the most common herb. After all, this is the Raksasa Tribe's palace. It should be easy to get some of that.'

Then, Darryl was about to walk out of the bedchamber to call for help.

"Don't leave..." However, before he could walk away, Natalie cried out. She threw herself into Darryl's arms and held him tightly.

Gulp!

For a moment, Darryl was stunned. He felt as though he was hugged by a burner. He could not help but swallow when she touched him.

"Darryl..." At that moment, Natalie

had lost her senses. She hugged Darryl tightly and muttered, "Don't go. Don't leave me alone..." She had always adored Darryl, but she had not expressed her feelings because of her identity.

In that situation, her emotions were in disarray due to the disruption of her internal energy, and she could not control herself for a brief moment. 'This...' Darryl became confused when he heard Natalie's cry. He froze, and for a moment, he did not know what to do.

"Warm... I feel very warm..."

Natalie could not help but moan. The warmth in her body became more and more intense. Then, a flame appeared on her body.
