“I said let go! David or even Hilbert could use my help right now! I have to help him!” I screamed again. Trying to struggle, even though my strength was no match for hers.“I'm sorry, ma'am. This is a request from Master David himself. You can blame me later. But, I must make sure you leave here.” That person, who was pulling my hand at this moment, turned out to be one of David's servants.My eyes watered even more at the puff of smoke that I had been in. David ... Even when he was in a riot, he still managed to help me.'But ... What if he also intends to kill David? Ah, it's only natural. If my friend suddenly came and wanted to kill me, it would be natural for me to want to kill him as well. David, too, must have had such thoughts.' I thought.But on second thought Hilbert's life will be taken shortly after I leave here, strangling my neck very tightly. I clutched my chest, feeling an imaginary pain that I had never experienced before.David had sacrificed everything he had for m
Haha. What a fool you are, Lizzbeth.You're the one who ran away from him, and you're the one who can't leave him. David's power isn't worth your time right now. He only saved someone who can't even forget his past.“Ngggg~”“Oh, my baby. Please forgive your mother. Just hold on and we'll see the doctor, hm? Your mom promised to take care of you after this.” I looked at my baby who woke up from the surge of this canoe.That's right. What luxury do I have to think of someone else's safety? My baby, dying here.I need to forget about Hilbert and start focusing on my baby. She's the only one I have. He's the only one who...Test...“Huh? Why am I crying?” My tears, fell on my baby's cheeks until his eyes opened wide, looking at me in confusion.“Ah. Forgive your mother, my baby. I'm sorry.” I hurriedly wiped away my tears, along with the drops that soaked my baby's cheeks.But, it seemed like my back couldn't be lied to. My tears had stopped, but the sobs were still flowing, making my bo
“I don't think this place is safe. I have to leave now!” I said quickly grabbing my things.The thing I was afraid of happened again like they were so happy to make me almost die standing up.In front of the inn, I was forced to hide after seeing several market guards patrolling the roadside. Every person they met was being asked various questions in a very serious manner.All at once, the words of the two people sneaked into my head. Could it be that what they were looking for was me?If so, where else would I go!? David sacrificed everything for me to escape to this market. And everything just vanished!“Hey, I think I saw an Omega similar to the one you're looking for. She's at my inn. Do you want to catch her?”I couldn't believe what I had just heard.This old innkeeper... he sold me out to the guards for money to shut up! Even though he knew I was bringing a sick baby here! And how could he leak my location to such a dangerous group of guards?'This world is completely ruined, a
The one being chased by those mercenary guards was, of course, me. But the one who panicked the most here was the Beta woman in front of my face.She was running so fast, which forced me to run faster too because her hands kept pulling me forward. Although I was tired and almost fell a dozen times, I began to understand her intentions.We had to run as fast as possible to our inn so that the mercenary guards wouldn't know where I would hide later.“Hah... Hah... Hah...” My breath started to disappear from circulation. My hand, which he was holding, was already as wet as a water plant stem.My legs almost gave out. Luckily, a few steps away, the inn Isabelle was referring to was in sight. I looked back to confirm how far we had escaped, and I didn't see anyone chasing us.“Looks like... We made it,” I said, amid my shortened breath. “How did it go? Do we still have to run again?”She experienced the same thing. Isabelle, fell to her knees feeling like her legs were about to give out. “
Like being slapped by reality, I couldn't believe that someone would finally say such a thing to me, even though in my heart, I had already realized it.“When I was locked up by Lord Hilbert and his wife, Esther, all I could think about was revenge,” she said as her hands clenched into tight fists in anger.“How could he, harming someone who had given him offspring, even intend to kill her!” she snarled. Isabelle had never looked this angry, nor did I know she could be this angry on my behalf.“Your Majesty. Allow me to commit treason for you, just once. If I even slightly, even if it's just a plan, see you intend to return to the hands of that damn Alpha, allow me to stop you.”Cowardly as I was, I couldn't react in any way to my former maid's words.Apparently, I'm not talented enough to hide my feelings. I thought that if I kept it to myself, at least no one could realize how I felt right now.Seeing how easily Isabelle realized my foolish love for Hilbert, it seems that I was dest
The doctors said it was a miracle I could still stand up and breastfeed.If it wasn't for my sense of responsibility to take care of my baby, they said I would have passed out and even gone into a coma for a few days.After refusing any food they tried to put in my mouth, the only way to save me was to put in an IV. Even then, it took a long time.Not only was I malnourished, but I was also severely dehydrated. So even the smallness of the syringe was not enough to get into my veins.By taking off a lot of heavy effort, the IV was finally successfully attached to my hand.However, my consciousness was still too far away for me to notice someone who had just come into my room.All I could hear was a conversation, I thought Isabelle had brought a new doctor to treat me again. But what I didn't know at the time was that she was talking to an Alpha. And that Alpha was David._____________[The next day]“Crystal!”The breathing tube that was stuck in my nose was forced to pull and fall of
In that moment, I didn't know an Alpha could create such an eye-wrenching expression of disappointment.For a few seconds David widened his dark irises at me, explaining how disappointed and unaware he was of my answer.While I, who had predicted this would happen, could only endure the shame and sadness by lowering my face. As much as possible I didn't let a single tear fall, so that David would hate me even less.“Go ahead and hit me, or kill me if you want,” I said, my voice getting hoarse and I couldn't control it. “I understand that if you kill me now, it will be because of my great shamelessness. You are free to punish me now.”“Tsk!” His teeth chattered sharply, indicating how emotional he was at the moment.“You, don't even think about leaving this room.” David pointed at me with a sharply furrowed brow. “And also, don't even think about going to see Hilbert right now. Do you think he's an angel who can easily change his mind just because he loves you? Don't even think about i
The only thing that was wrong in my head was my inability to drive Hilbert away, regardless of whatever bad things he had done.For other things, such as my current plan, my brain could still think about it calmly and clearly.I'm not stupid. After being warned not to leave this room, I had a feeling that David was now in another room not far enough away.Surely, he wanted to watch me alone. If he could monitor me from his room, then my chances of escape would be minimized.So my goal now was to find where David was. I had a feeling too, that he and Isabella were planning something.For this reason, I was not allowed to see my baby until now. If my hunch was correct, they would continue to separate me from Crystal until it became safe.“There are only a few days left, Master. I just wanted to warn you, as someone who has worked with him.”My body's movements stopped after hearing a very recognizable female voice, coming from the left side of where I was walking now.Isabelle. She was
What I didn't expect was Hilbert's willingness to grant his childhood friend's wish.After arguing with David, it was my turn to argue with Hilbert.From his point of view, Hilbert understood David's wish, which was already on the edge. Managing a Pack that was on the verge of extinction because of his father's negligence was enough to make someone go crazy.I, however, am still stubborn not to let David go. too many things have happened until I feel that I need a lot of time to thank David.Perhaps in Hilbert's own heart, he also understood it. Once David leaves for the Katthias pack, it will be difficult for him to find time to visit us again.The relationship between the Katthias and Aquamarine packs was not as smooth as it was made out to be. And while David and Amelia are the two pillars that hold us together, the thousands of Katthias Pack members don't all think so.David still has a long way to go to unite our two packs. In other words, until David succeeded in his mission, he
"What?" To my surprise, my baby's shrill cry because he was disturbed by our conversation, was not caught in my focus. "You're kidding, aren't you?"I really couldn't believe what I was hearing at the moment, but David didn't seem to be joking either.''Of course, I'm not joking here. I want to go back to the Katthias pack, back to where I should belong.'' David said with serious face.''But ... The distance from Katthias pack to this palace is so far. If you do this, you might as well never come back here again. Don't you know how busy that pack is? Even Hilbert, he wasn't strong enough to stay there.”David was silent. But, that doesn't mean he ignored my words. “I've decided everything well. I've also thought it through, there's no way I can continue to be here while I'm not from here.''''That would be tantamount to me being a guest in this place for a long time, so wouldn't it be better now that I return to my duty? And from now on, my real home is the Katthias pack, not here.''
“Ngggg~”''Ah, looks like I need to go back inside the room first. I think I heard the sound of Crystal's baby crying in there.''Without waiting for an answer from Hilbert, I immediately got up from my seat and then immediately moved from my seat, intending to go to the baby Crystal who was inside the room along with the nanny Hilbert had paid to look after her.Only look after when I'm not around or doing something, the rest of the time I'll handle the baby myself, I wouldn't trust a nanny too much, of course, because I want to spend a lot of time making memories with my baby.''I think I've finished my breakfast as well. Then, please take my excuse too.”I don't know if it was true or not, but I felt that David was deliberately following me who had already finished my breakfast.''Why are you in such a hurry? Come on, eat some more before you go back into that room of yours.''I vaguely heard the voice of Hilbert who was trying to restrain David who was about to leave the dining ta
[A Month Later][Aquamarine Royal Palace][Royal Members' Dining Hall][8:00 AM]_______''I miss this kind of atmosphere.”My head looked up after hearing the words that came out of Hilbert's mouth, not expecting that after all the trouble and hurt that had happened so far would end up beautifully in the end.''You're right,” I said in front of him, who sat on the same table. “I also did not expect that we would end up in a position like this. I thought .... we would never made it. I thought we would continue to fight like the other days, it turns out that in the end, our relationship will get better as time goes by.''He nodded in confirmation of my words, it was true. He and I had been feuding like enemies, but afterward, we were able to get back together like a happy family.Especially with a baby who has completed our lives, if only people didn't know how full of twists and turns my life had been.'I think I should say a lot of thanks to David because he helped me to be in this p
“I hope one day you'll find out. Not seeing the person you love for two weeks is enough to make you feel like you've lost everything,” I retorted. I reflected my smile at him who stood behind me, through the bias of this large mirror.“Your Highness! The doctor says you can come in! Congratulations on your first meeting after so long!”Breaking the door of my room without permission, the good news came from the lips of a well-dressed Beta woman.How cute. Both she and I were dressed beautifully this morning. Not forgetting my baby too, Isabelle also dressed my little son in royal clothes for babies.I wanted to laugh at our enthusiasm, which was the opposite of the event we were going to. What event? This morning, we were happy because Hilbert was finally allowed to be visited.“It's been weeks of waiting, we finally get to meet your father!” Isabelle squealed with delight, cradling my baby who joined in the laughter at her bright smile.“What's he doing there?” I asked, clasping my h
My despair was cut short. Rainbows always come after heavy rain. All my worries faded instantly after I let out all my sobs in front of Alpha who was willing to be my backup.David didn't want my tears to drag on. He gave me the idea to get some fresh air after the doctor allowed me to get off the hospital bed.Accompanied by Isabelle, who helped take care of my baby, we walked through the deserted hospital to refresh my mind. Behind me, David was quietly observing. I didn't know he still wouldn't allow me to see Hilbert in his room.If my guess was right, my Alpha's condition was extremely poor. To the point that it would probably make me even more depressed and guilty in the end.But it wouldn't be me if I didn't make the people around me anxious. With just a few minutes of them being off guard from me, my trail was already lost to them.The search began. They had no idea that my feet were forcing me to find where Hilbert's room was and visit it.A clear glass border became the wall
My tears broke out. My tears fell naturally like a pond overflowing with vomit. The poison in my body slowly flowed out as my sobs escalated.Unable to bear seeing an Omega crying so pitifully, David pulled his hand away to hug me. I felt his palm gently patting my shoulder in an attempt to win me over.Meanwhile, I, shamelessly, shed even more tears on his shoulder. My tears widened to the point where I was afraid I couldn't go back.But his embrace was too warm to leave. I remembered all the good things about David that had made me forget all the bad things about him.He... Apparently fought very hard to make me forgive his mistakes....“Hilbert is in his room. His injuries were quite severe. Surprisingly, he healed very quickly. Well, no wonder. Alpha is unlikely to die from a wound like that. So you shouldn't worry.”With his hands busy peeling the apple skin, his mouth kept talking about things I didn't even ask about.It only took one worried glance from me, to make him take
“No! There's no way Master David would intentionally hurt that many people! It's because Lord Hilbert refused to cooperate with him!” Isabelle denied. Her voice suddenly rose, making me jump.She seemed so unhappy to hear me casually mention David's faults. Her calm demeanor went nowhere, replaced by her emotionally explaining various alibis to make me believe her.After her unstable emotions receded, she was finally able to look calmer. I waited until he could reveal everything. Because I'm dying of insanity waiting here.“Okay. Now, are you able to answer my questions?” I asked. “First of all, I want you to explain what the plan you mentioned means. Explain it from the beginning, and I won't forgive you if there's a single thing you're hiding.”Then the long explanation began.Every time his cold lips explained something I didn't know, my hands squeezed the hospital blanket until my nails dug in.It all started with the fight between David and Hilbert in the mansion, which I don't k
“I'm sorry, but I only came to help you.” The old man said some nonsense that I didn't understand.“Help? Do you even know who he is?” I retorted rudely. “If you're here, I'm guessing you're one of David's people. Would you help me even if you didn't know who this wounded Alpha was?”It felt like my words were too harsh for the old man who came with genuine concern for me. But, make no mistake. My suspicion was greater than my willingness to accept his help.Don't think I can't find another doctor here, other than having to involve myself with David's people. Without taking a second look, I left the old man who was still trying to convince me.My mind was too muddled to think straight right now. Let me take care of things myself.“Hey, stop it. I sent him all the way here to help you, don't kick him out just because you hate me.”Wait a minute. Am I too tired to be having hallucinations in broad daylight like this, or did I hear David's voice earlier?It came from where the old man wa
