Chapter 355 – Wine (3)

Translator: Atlas / Editor: Regan

In the wine bottle, it had been carefully added through a hole in the cork. The cork had then been repaired with no visible difference. The taste of the wine would not be greatly affected, as it had been made so recently.

Judia was confident that she could have slowly seduced him and made him hers without it, but if she had delayed any longer, Herod might have succeeded with the Estian queen. Judia hated to lose to him.
