The Queen They Buried

Chapter 300

Kurtis’s business covers all sorts of things, so aphrodisiacs were nothing new to him. He instantly realized, “Someone has spiked this room with a love potion.”

“Isn’t this your turf?” Bowen retorted. He was no stranger to such schemes. He’d taken counteragents before. While they couldn’t completely block the effects, at least they kept him from losing his mind entirely.
