Chapter 5: Parting

“No... It’s not in here!” Cecily said in despair, after flicking through the pages of a book in the castle library.

She had spoken these words louder than she’d intended, and a number of other people in the library glared daggers at her. She shrank into herself and bowed in apology.

Over the past few days, Cecily had been reading through the many books in the library.

The recipe wasn’t in the ones mom gave me so I thought it might be here, but...

Her face screwed up in disappointment.

The book laid out before her was a book of potion recipes that had been in storage in the castle. The recipes within included well-known potions as well as ones that would fetch a good price. However, even if you followed the recipes to the letter, the potions would have no effect unless their creator had magical abilities. Due to this, all this knowledge that some witch had passed down from long ago was nothing more than an unusable relic from another age. And unfortunately for Cecily, there wasn’t the faintest sign of information on an antidote for the love potion in this book.

In all honesty, Cecily wasn’t even sure if such an antidote existed in the first place. Witches simply made potions as their whims took them—Cecily doubted there was any witch before her who had wanted to make an antidote for a love potion. Even with all the recipes Cecily had seen in her own time, she hadn’t seen a single one for an antidote, for any of them.

All the same, she continued to rifle through the pages, but there wasn’t even a footnote containing any useful information.

Should I go back to my old house and ask mom?

It was possible that there might be some information among Greta’s many recipes. However, Cecily hadn’t even been exiled from her village for a year yet. Coming home now would be against the rules. It was something she ought to use only as an absolute final resort.

“I wonder how Zeke’s doing...” Cecily murmured to herself.

Cecily hadn’t seen Zeke in two days now. She knew that she shouldn’t let her thoughts wander to him, but when she relaxed, she just couldn’t help it.

No, that wasn’t right. She was constantly thinking about Zeke—it was just that she was forcing herself to ignore it. And when she stopped focusing on ignoring those thoughts, her real emotions slipped out.

Zeke’s heart had been twisted by the love potion. Just like the princes in her picture books and fairy tales, he had used sweet words and kind actions to express his newfound love for Cecily, taking her by surprise.

But this love was different from true love.

Cecily was more than surprised when Nora had appeared that day. But if Nora hadn’t appeared, then Cecily may have ended up marrying Zeke and maybe even having a child with him in a happy future together. In this sense, perhaps it was a good thing that Nora had shown up when she did. After all, Cecily had no idea when the effects of the love potion would wear off.
