Chapter 116

*Warning: Mature Content Ahead!*

"It seems as though she doesn't exactly have much alcohol tolerance," Theo said, smiling awkwardly and looking at ZH, who was upset with what his comrade had just done. "She seems really upset with you, though. Just letting you know ahead of time before there is no chance for you to fix it." Theo was hoping to get ZH to forget about his mistake and let him off for helping him with his relationship. 'I would have assumed that Mila would be fine with the alcohol endurance since ZH can tolerate it very well. Well... alcohol is not for everyone.' Theo continued to think about it since most would be able to tolerate the alcohol that was considered the weakest in the Zameth Kingdom. 'I did take the correct bottle, right?' Theo looked back to the bottle of alcohol, reading it to make sure he didn't get the stronger one by accident. Looking at the wine, he felt his face pale to see that it was just a bit stronger than the one he wanted to give her. 'Shit... I'm just heading for death at this point.'

"He should've told me when he was leaving! Do you know how sad I was that he just left without saying a single word?! I felt a little betrayed knowing that he even met with a woman and allowed her to get that close to him!" Mila shouted all of a sudden in her drunken tone while laying her side of the head on the table to support herself from falling aside.

"Theo..." ZH felt irritated to see how Theo could just let her drink alcohol when she had no tolerance for it since the beginning. It was likely her first sip of wine which made him upset that Theo was the first to see Mila's drunken state. 'What does this guy think about every single time? I know that he can talk with someone to help them open up to their problems and issues, but Mila had just woken up, and there is no way that she would be able to tolerate alcohol since she's never had any before.' Rubbing his head, he knew that even if the alcohol was considered the weakest or not, it did not mean that every person could tolerate it. 'This is the Zameth kingdom, so most citizens here would be able to tolerate it. Unfortunately, Mila is a part of the Mireraweth kingdom, where their alcohol holds a huge difference from ours. It makes it worse when she doesn't even drink since alcohol tolerance tends to build up over the process of drinking it.' ZH knew that alcohol needed time for one to adjust to it before one could tolerate it properly.

"I'll leave you both to resolve things from here then. Besides, it has been proven that one can be honest when they are drunk." Theo left the dining room, leaving ZH stuck with Mila, who was clearly not in the best state of mind. 'I hope that I won't be dead by tomorrow.' Theo was praying at this point, thinking about visiting Noah before he died.

"Hey, Th-!" ZH didn't even get to speak or lecture Theo, who already left as soon as possible, shutting the dining room doors behind him. ZH sighed, looking at how Mila was drunk, with her slightly red face showing that she was drunk. 'She's very likely going to have a hangover tomorrow morning.' He sighed, holding his head, not wanting her to get upset in the morning when she woke up. "Mila, it's time to get you to bed."

"I don't want to." Mila waved her hand, which smacked him slightly when ZH all of a sudden carried her like a princess, not wanting her to struggle in his arms. "Let me get another glass!" She whined, being barely able to yell out with ZH, worried how she may get addicted to drinking if she continued without his notice of it when he did not know that Mila had more tolerance to alcohol due to her past life.

"No more." ZH felt like he was telling a child to stop whining for a toy that they desperately wanted. 'I feel like a parent telling a child 'no.'"

"Why?! I want to ease my *hiccup*, sadness, and sorrow this way!" Mila was still being carried as they reached the hallways leading to his bedroom.

"Why are you sad?" ZH didn't want Mila to be sad since he knew about the misunderstanding between the woman and him. Choosing by taking this chance to find out her thoughts in her drunken state. He decided to take advantage of the whole situation and find out about Mila's feelings and thoughts at that moment.
