Lulu nodded in understanding and hurried off to fetch hot water, to be used to freshen up Rafael's hands and face.

Carissa had just settled her husband onto the divan when Lulu returned and said, "Sage Adrian and Mr. Spencer, along with the other guild members, forced His Highness to drink. Deputy Ziegler said His Highness couldn't refuse, so they poured a lot for him. They drank rose wine with people from other guilds." Carissa frowned. "My master had someone force His Highness to drink?" Wasn't that just bullying? With so many guild members around, each one having a cup, they could have made Rafael drink until he vomited blood.

"Yes, he drank a lot. But isn't the rose wine from the Lunar Guild supposed to be mild? Why was it so strong?" asked Lulu.

"It's likely that my master brewed the wine, so it's not the kind the Lunar Guild usually provides," Carissa replied.

She glanced at Rafael, whose cheeks and ears were flushed red from the alcohol. It seemed unlikely they would be able to drink the ceremonial wine tonight, and she would probably be the only one eating all the food on the table.

She had a lot of questions for him, especially about what Lily had mentioned to her earlier that evening. She had hoped to ask him for more details. But now, not only could she not ask, he was completely unconscious.

Pearl brought over the hot water.

"You should all go and rest. You've had a long day too. I'll take care of him," Carissa said.

"But tonight..." Pearl hesitated.

Lily had initially arranged for Pearl to stay outside the newlywed suite, ready to assist at any time, given that it was Carissa's wedding night. However, seeing Rafael so thoroughly drunk, it seemed unlikely they would even get to the ceremonial wine.

"Ms. Lily, they haven't had the ceremonial wine yet," Pearl said, turning to the older woman.

Lily sighed. "How could they get His Highness so drunk? They poured wine into him before he had a chance to eat. Didn't they think about how important this night is for the groom?" Lily blamed Adrian for this.

It was a significant night for Carissa, and Rafael was a good match.

How could they be so heartless as to get him drunk like this? He had been injured many times on the battlefield and had been working hard since returning to the capital. How could things proceed now that Rafael was in this state? Carissa was not the only one feeling pained-Lily was deeply upset as well.

Carissa used a hot towel to pat Rafael's face and wipe his hands. She then pressed a few acupoints to help him regain sawareness.

Rafael opened his eyes, feeling the world spinning around him. He couldn't tell where he was and could only see countless blurry images of Carissa.

He raised a hand and mumbled hoarsely, his voice raspy from the strong liquor, "Wait, don't move. Letlook closely. Am I dreaming, or am I really drunk? Why does it feel like I'm actually marrying Carissa?" Rafael was feeling intensely dizzy. He reached out to touch the face in front of him, but even with his eyes open, the spinning sensation persisted. Closing his eyes only made it worse.

"Oh, it's a dream. How could Carissa's skin be so rough? And there are wrinkles. It must be a dream." Lily pushed his hand away. "My face is naturally rough and wrinkled. How old do you think I am? Quickly, drink shangover remedy." The cup was brought to his lips. Without hesitation, Rafael gulped it down.

Carissa soaked a fresh hot towel and cover to wipe his face. She couldn't help but chuckle.

"Look at how drunk you are. You're mistaking my attendant for me." Hearing his drunken ramblings just now had surprisingly pleased her.

Let him be drunk for now-once he was sober, he wouldn't say such things.

After drinking the hangover remedy, Rafael suddenly felt his stomach churn violently. He leapt up and m upandm staggered out the Collapsing in corridor and starting to heave uncontrollably. The violent retching cleared most of the alcohol from his stomach.

He felt much better afterward, no longer experiencing the spinning sensation. Although he was still unsteady, he could at least lean on the wall to walk.

Lily called for someone to clean up the mess while Carissa helped Rafael back inside. She took a clean towel and Scrubbed his face vigorously.

Inside, she was fuming. Didn't he know how to refuse? Just because they poured it, he had to drink it? X
