“Didn’t you hear earlier? They say it’s a disgrace to the clan.”

“A disgrace to the clan?”

“Yes. Being unable to perform sexually means being ridiculed for having a small size or not being able to get er*ect.”

“Are you suggesting I should make the sexually powerful Snake Duke unable to perform?”

Surprised by Margaret’s suggestion, Violet swallowed dryly and took a breath.

“Yes, exactly that. Just like how you were ridiculed, the Snake Duke should experience the same feelings!”

“How?”

Violet tilted her head in the opposite direction. How could someone so sexually capable be made incapable?

“Miss, you could use that.”

“Use what?”

“The clan’s secret formula.”

“Ah!”

At the mention of the clan’s secret formula, something suddenly flashed through Violet’s mind as she continued tilting her head.

Each beastkin clan valued different things, and for the rabbit clan, the most important was raising successors.

Since their clan’s power was limited, their goal was to increase their numbers and display strength through quantity.

It would be ideal if everyone could equally bear children, but the problem was that each male had different s*xual capabilities.

Some couldn’t mate properly during heat cycles because they couldn’t get er*ect, while others were so excessive that they put a tremendous burden on their female partners, requiring their s*xual desire to be reduced.

So there was a secret formula exclusive to the rabbit clan, and what Margaret was referring to was probably the latter.

Erectile dysfunction!

If other members of the sexually powerful snake clan discovered someone with reduced s*xual function, they would become objects of ridicule.

So if she could temporarily stop the Snake Duke’s lower body functions with medicine, she could break his enormous pride.

Especially since the Duke was born with everything, he had likely never been humiliated in his life, so even a slight blow to his pride would affect him much more than others.

“Surely he won’t notice I caused it?”

“Of course not. Even if he suspects, he’d be too embarrassed to reveal it.”

Even if Violet caused the Snake Duke’s erectile dysfunction with medicine, there would be no evidence. The effect would be temporary, and everything would return to normal before the culprit could be found.

He would likely conclude that his body was temporarily not in its usual condition due to poor health.

“Since he’s visiting the mansion soon, we can target that time.”

The Snake Duke was scheduled to visit in the late evening hours.

He was such a busy person, and breaking the engagement was clearly not important to him, so he had obviously scheduled it as his last appointment after completing all his other business.

The fact that he put breaking the engagement as the last item on his day’s schedule showed how lightly he regarded the rabbit clan.

Of course, given the distance to the snake clan’s village, he probably planned to stay overnight and leave early the next morning, but the more she thought about it, the more vexing it felt.

However, thanks to that, Violet had an opportunity for revenge. He was conveniently creating a chance for her to get back at him.

Having decided on her method of revenge, Violet immediately headed to the study. The secret formula would be hidden somewhere in the study, so finding it was the priority.

“Where might that book be?”

Violet started searching slowly from the most visible places in the study. With so many books shelved, finding a specific one was no easy task.

Thinking it would likely be among pharmaceutical books, she searched diligently around that area, but when it wasn’t visible in the study, she looked for other places where the formula book might be.

“Violet? Are you alright?”

Seeing her unusual behavior, Count Mori and the Countess asked Violet with concerned looks.

“I’m fine.”

She wanted to ask where they had hidden the formula book, but that would reveal her intentions, so she couldn’t bring herself to ask.

Violet found the formula book in an old storage room. It was in a place hardly ever visited.

She coughed repeatedly as she was covered in swirling dust.

“What’s this? This is practically abandoned.”

Brushing off the dust accumulated on the book, Violet secretly hid it in her bosom and brought it into her room.

“You finally found it!”

Just as she was about to open the book, Margaret, who had brought tea and dessert to the room, expressed relief.

“I wonder what it says? I hope it’s not too difficult…”

Muttering in a small voice, Violet opened the first page.

The clan’s secret formula was encrypted so others couldn’t read it, but she could understand it because she had learned it since childhood.

“My goodness! What is this?”

Reading the contents carefully, Violet was so surprised she almost dropped the book on the floor.

She had worried that it might require rare ingredients and be difficult to make, but the ingredients were easily obtainable and the formula wasn’t too complicated.

However, the problem was the ‘method of application.’

She had naturally assumed it would be a medicine to drink, but it wasn’t. The fact that it had to be applied directly by hand was something she hadn’t expected, causing Violet’s face to turn red instantly.

“Miss, what’s wrong? Is there a problem?”

Margaret only knew about the existence of the formula but not its specifics, so she looked puzzled.

“Well, you see, it says the medicine needs to be applied directly to that part. Isn’t that a bit much? Shouldn’t we look for another method?”

How could she possibly touch a man’s thing directly? The mere thought was dizzying.

“Ah… Does it really say that?”

Margaret also seemed flustered.

“I think it’s too much for me…”

“I see. But what other options do we have? There’s no other way to get revenge, is there?”

“If it comes to it, Margaret, how about you do it directly?”

“How could I possibly touch the Snake Duke’s body so improperly?”

“Then what should we do?”

Since this was a secret known only to Violet and Margaret, they couldn’t tell anyone else. So Violet was quite perplexed.

Feeling uneasy, she read the book’s contents again carefully to confirm what she had seen.

[For a mild effect, applying it around the navel area is sufficient.]

Looking again, she saw it was written that direct application was only necessary for a powerful effect. Upon confirming this, Violet breathed a sigh of relief.

“Oh, thank goodness.”

Applying medicine around the navel area wasn’t difficult. She could put the Duke to sleep with a sleeping potion when he visited and apply the medicine during that time.

“Can you get the ingredients?”

“Yes. They’re all plants grown in our mansion.”

After telling her the necessary ingredients, Margaret nodded and quickly gathered them from the garden.

Now that they had the ingredients, the next step was…

“Keep a good lookout, okay?”

“Yes, Miss.”

With Margaret standing guard outside the kitchen, Violet secretly made the medicine late at night, avoiding others’ eyes.

Having never cooked before, she failed at first. But as she continued making it, she got the hang of it, and the color described in the formula book began to appear.

However, she couldn’t be sure if it would actually work. She couldn’t confirm the medicine’s effectiveness based on color alone.

Well, the mixture should be correct, right?

Though she wanted to trust her intuition, she couldn’t, so Violet had no choice but to entice servants with money.

It was a bit difficult to find people due to the need for secrecy, but fortunately, a servant with erectile problems and a married man who wanted a break from his overly enthusiastic wife every night volunteered.

“I’m counting on you. If it works, I’ll give you the rest of the money.”

“Understood.”

Violet handed them one gold coin along with the medicine.

Excited by the money, they actively participated in the experiment, and fortunately, the medicine proved effective, allowing the experiment to be completed successfully.

With the medicine prepared, a smile of satisfaction appeared on Violet’s lips. Now she just had to wait for the day the Snake Duke would visit the mansion.
