I Brought You Frankincense Original Novels & Stories

The pleasant fragrances wafting through the air had already lifted my spirits considerably. However, I was suddenly struck with a pang of guilt upon realizing that I hadn't yet acquired a gift for Jasper. Standing in the aisle, I racked my brain for ideas on what to get him, but he seemed to possess everything already. Then, my gaze happened upon the lip balms, and a mischievous grin crept across my face. I recalled Jasper's aversion to overly feminine scents in lip balms. Without a second thought, I grabbed four jars of cocoa butter, confident that he would appreciate them.

“Yeah,” Nick said. “I haven’t been sleeping well lately. If I want to function at work, I kind of need a little help.” Lucy thought for a moment. “My brother recently brought back this specialty incense from overseas. He said it was something old royal families used. It’s supposed to be incredibly rare, and it helps with sleep. I’ll give you some when I get home.” Nick immediately waved it off. “That’s not appropriate. If it’s that valuable and you give it to me, Mr. Chancer will be furious.”

I hadn't noticed them until I opened my bag to unpack, only to realise he had placed not just the herbal massage oil inside, but also free calming incense sticks and dried herbs. The ones suitable for external use were placed in my bathroom cabinet, alongside Leslie's handwritten note. I picked up the note and checked it again. It was stuck to one of the packets. "You have trouble sleeping, so you should often use the one in the blue pack to bathe and also light that incense. It will help you sleep. Don't worry, the incense has no smoke." My gaze moved to the next paragraph on the long sheet of paper he stuck to the pack.

“The merchants would have gotten you a diamond-encrusted shirt if you’d asked.” “This will be fine. Thank you, Lucas.” “This is a pleasant duty. I just had to stop Bricker from yelling at the Alphas that they’re debauched. He ought to stay in the kitchens where he usually is most of the day.” Lucas leaves, and I sniff the jar. A sensual sandalwood blend. So sensual no one would ever detect the lavender subtly mixed in, even though it’s powerful enough to take care of all three of the targets. My mates.

I gently pat her head as though she were a wonderful being. As I read the letter that Casimir gave me, Linia left right away. I close my eyes, yet I still sense the aroma of this letter. It is powerful and seductive, yet hazardous. Acacia, a limited-edition perfume used in the imperial member's home, has only one scent: a minty woodland aroma. It costs close to 500,000 gold pieces.

"Just a classic? For the VIPs?" "Not classic," Harper replied, her voice leaving absolutely no room for debate. She was already in motion, her hands flying across the premium spice rack. Her fingers wrapped around a delicate glass jar filled with vibrant, dried culinary lavender. Next, she retrieved a heavy jar of rare, dark forest honey. "We are using lavender. Wild forest honey sourced directly from Provence. And we will torch the sugar canopy until the surface cracks with the exact texture of shattered glass."

Emma gently touched her spoon to her bowl, hearing Ori's soft voice, "Miss, yesterday after lunch, the First Young Master gave you a pot of red coral as a gift. Miss, please take a look..." Emma looked at her, feigning surprise. "Oh?" Then she intentionally didn't continue. Ori felt somewhat anxious but didn't dare show it on her face. She carefully reminded, "The First Young Master gave First Miss an offering of Istanbul fragrance. First Miss responded with brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. For Second Miss, he gave a pair of square crystal flower ornaments, and Second Miss responded with a set of antique books bought from the Morgan Library. For Third Miss, he gave a box of Ezema perfume..."

She set down the gift she had prepared with both hands. “Grandma Mary, I know you’ve always cherished peace and elegance and already have so many treasures. I brought you this sandalwood bracelet. It was blessed in a monastery and kept on the altar for a year. They say it helps calm the mind and restore the body. I hope it brings you comfort.”

"Chamomile, Jasmine, Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Lavender oil. Also, there's this new oil that we recently received delivery of. According to the reviews we've gotten from our clients, it's also nice." Her utterance pricked my interest. "Is that so? What oil is that?" "Catherine Frankincense oil, ma'am. It is al-" "I don't want it, bring me Jasmine oil." I interrupted her, while willing the fury within me to dissipate. Just the mere mention of her stupid name was enough to agitate me. Who the hell did she think she was to have that kind of power over me? A useless gold digging slut like her. It was very obvious that she had married Alessandro for his wealth, and has deluded herself into thinking

“You’ve given me so much medicinal candy, which is made from premium wild ginseng. You never charged me for it, and now you want to treat me like a stranger?” ---
