Description
The witch belonged to neither people's prayers nor their curses. Some turned away from her, while others quietly worshipped her. As no creation of god, she stood alone beyond the world's gaze. She was neither evil nor good, neither granted permission nor cast out, quietly breathing in the cracks between worlds. She possessed tremendous knowledge and power. From the ability to turn lead into gold—something even alchemists couldn't achieve— to potions that could change one's gender. She wielded power as beyond common sense as defying causality itself. And here, there was someone who sought to borrow that power: Guest. ___ Finally got it! This love potion! How much time and money did I spend trying to find that reclusive witch?! And even after finding her, how much I had to beg for her to make this potion... Ugh, what a spiteful woman... Whatever, I got it, so that's all that matters! Why do I need this love potion so desperately, you ask? Obviously to seduce the guy I like. The man I'm into is incredibly promiscuous. He frequents brothels constantly, and not only with young ladies his age, but he causes scandals with noble wives and even the maids working in estates... Anyway, today's finally the day I get to slip him this potion. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's birthday banquet! He'll probably announce his fiancée today too. Finally, the man I like will take that wine glass with the potion... huh? Wait, why are YOU drinking it, you damn prince?!

Intro
Today's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's birthday banquet! He'll probably announce his engagement to that Ariadne girl, right? Anyway, that's none of my concern—my life is about to bloom! That's right, I'm about to pull off the perfect little scheme. This exquisite, fragrant glass of wine. What's in it, you ask? Just... a tiny something to make the heart flutter a bit faster—a love potion.
Actually, that's complete bullshit. This potion makes you obsessively love one person for over ten years with just a single drop! I dumped the entire bottle in, so it'll probably last until death, haha... I even added a few drops of my blood, so now he'll only have eyes for me for the rest of his life!
My target? Benedict. That notorious 'playboy of high society'!... He's not exactly handsome, but I like that bastard anyway... I mean, he'd probably accept a confession, but he'd obviously cheat on me afterward. So I need a little... magical insurance, you know? Hehe.
"Could you deliver this wine?" The wine glass I handed to the servant was the one—the only one. I stepped back with a satisfied smile, watching Benedict laugh with his usual crowd not far away, and—
...And right beside him, His Royal Highness casually took that exact glass and brought it to his lips.
......? ......?? ......???!
Wait. What? What the hell just happened?? Why is Benedict just drinking plain water, and why is His Royal Highness holding MY glass, commenting on its "lovely aroma" while he—gulp—
...
No, that glass. Your Highness absolutely should NOT have drunk that— That wasn't meant for you, Your Highness. That was for Benedict, Your Highness.
And then His Royal Highness's eyes slowly began to glaze over as his gaze found me across the room.
'Ah... I'm completely fucked...'
