The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu

As Maron left the shrine, he inhaled deeply as he looked up at the skies, murmuring, "Do you hear me, Maron Ocean? It's time you pay."

Meanwhile, Maron brought Silverbell to the infirmary's bed, ready to undress her, when she caught his hand.

"What are you... doing..." Silverbell was heaving, her eyes unfocused and her whole body twitching, though she still retained her consciousness.

Even as she kept fighting the Passion Dust's effect, she was shivering as she cringed toward the other end of the bed.

"Please don't resist, Lady Silverbell. I've found the way to clear the poison from your veins."

Maron was grinning darkly as he unbuttoned his shirt and moved closer. "Don't worry—the Passion Dust is the real deal. I spent a fortune buying it from the South Sea, so that you'd have an unforgettable experience of carnal pleasure. You can't resist it even if you've completed Birthright—you have to be Ascendant rank, or you wouldn't even know what hit you."

"I-It was you." Silverbell drew her sword, pointing it at Maron's face and intent on killing him right then.
