"My guess was right, apparently. I didn't expect my reckless decision to follow you all the way here to turn into gold." Hilbert greeted my surprise with great anticipation.Our two eyes met each other. This time, he already knew who I was. The black cloth covering my face could no longer deceive him. My new identity as Lilac had been completely stripped away by him."How are you, Lizzbeth?" he called. His smile looked relieved and very satisfied. As if his struggle, his search all this time had paid off.'Damn it. I'm trapped!' I thought irritably."When we passed each other earlier in the city, I didn't want to believe my hunch," he said. "Our eyes met, but I didn't recognize you. No, we met at the bar earlier, didn't we? But I didn't recognize you. Because of your belly."His gaze rested on my perfectly deflated belly. "I thought your pregnancy was the only clue I had. As soon as I saw you with a flat belly, I immediately thought you weren't the Lizzbeth I was looking for. But it t
That sentence ... I've heard it!It's not unusual for Esther to look so disgusted with me. That look, that treatment, I've had worse.Except for that last line. I feel like I've heard it somewhere. Or perhaps, Esther and I have met before?'But where? And when? My feelings instantly turned anxious and depressed the second she mentioned my title as a noble princess. Why does her anger feel familiar to my ears?' I tried to close my eyes and recall the time I had forgotten.Unexpectedly, Elly, who had been silent since I gave birth, suddenly opened her voice and opened the old wound that I had buried alive.'Stupid. Should I be the one to say it? Esther is the same woman who took Hilbert away from you. Have you forgotten why you left him in the first place? Wasn't it because of a woman who was set up with Hilbert when you were still dating?'A shiver slipped through my body, my eyes widened, and my head hurt like crazy. Elly was injecting more of the past that I didn't want to dig up. A
"Wait. Where's my baby? Where's Crystal? Why haven't I seen it since?"None of the doctors answered my questions. The seriousness that was changing the bandages on my body, ignored me, like I wasn't even here. "Damn it! Answer me now!" I yelled at one of them standing next to me and threw the medical device they were holding."Are you deaf? Can't you hear fucking me talking to you?" I forced, tugging on the collar of his white coat to make his eyes look at me. But that cold face remained unfrozen. Everyone stared at me in silence.They let me throw a tantrum, then went back to their responsibilities."This is crazy," I muttered when I realized they were deliberately ignoring me. I pulled off the IV that had just been stuck in my hand, to get up from this bed and look for the exit.And I finally knew why no doctor had answered my cries. This medical room was, apparently, a prison. Hilbert locked me up here under heavy guard. This means that even the doctors here are under his orders.
"Lizzbeth! What are you doing, quickly stop him!" Hilbert shouted frantically, ordering his men in charge of guarding me to stop what I was doing.But I didn't care, I just kept banging my head against the wall of this prison, I kept doing it over and over again, not caring even if my head started to feel dizzy afterward.All I could think about was how to get Hilbert to return my baby to me, I couldn't stay away from him for a moment.It was my fault for trusting Isabelle too much to look after Crystal, if only I hadn't trusted her with my child. Surely now we wouldn't be stuck in a situation like this, my baby and I would never be separated for any reason.I could see some soldiers starting to advance and get closer to me, but at the same time, I was also beating my head against the wall faster and faster."Don't come any closer, stay away or I'll bang my head even harder!" I screamed as I raised my hand to point at the few bodyguards Hilbert had assigned to calm me down.I could se
[End of Lizzbeth’s POV][Hilbert POV starts here].....These eyes secretly looked at a doctor who was in charge of handling Lizzbeth, I gave him the code to inject the anesthetic when Lizzbeth was off guard. All solely because I couldn't see her hurt like that, her head was already injured, and there was even some blood flowing down her head.But Lizzbeth was not bothered by all that at all, that omega woman seemed calm and didn't even complain at all. Even though I am very sure that the wound on her head must be very painful and painful.When the opportunity presented itself, a doctor immediately injected an anesthetic into Lizzbeth's body. Meanwhile, these two hands of mine quickly held the weight of the omega body that had given her a baby.''I'm sorry, Lizzbeth ... I had to do all this so that you no longer do anything reckless!'' I muttered next to the ear of Lizzbeth who was already unconscious.I slowly lifted the omega's body and then carried it to the bed where she was lying
[Hilbert’s POV][Flashback: On]''Oh my God, Lizzbeth ... Please keep your eyes open!'' I pleaded while patting Lizzbeth's cheeks, hoping that this would make Lizzbeth open her closed eyes again.But my efforts were fruitless, in fact, Lizzbeth just kept her eyes closed without looking like she wanted to open them again.''Lizzbeth ... Please, please!''''Come on, Lizzbeth ... I beg you to wake up and open your eyes again, don't make me worry Lizzbeth!'' I said with one hand supporting her body and the other hand trying to gently pat her cheek.''Why does this blood keep flowing so fast, can't it stop flowing so that I don't worry too much!" I muttered.After I ventured to touch the wound on Lizzbeth's stomach which turned out to be near the wound from the stitches she had given birth to Crystal some time ago, the wound that had not yet dried up now actually received a new wound,''Oh, Shit! No wonder this blood doesn't stop flowing, it turns out that this stab wound in Lizzbeth's sto
''Just tell me the truth, Hilbert! What is that omega that is inside the medical room and receiving treatment here?!''I nodded my head, at a loss for words after dealing with my father.''Fool! Why else would you have anything to do with him, Hilbert!''“Nggggggg~!”Suddenly the sound of Crystal, baby crying echoed throughout the palace, even though Crystal and Issabele had been placed in a place far enough away from King Katthias' room, why was her voice still ringing in the ears?What excuse will I give my father after this?''Hilbert, whose baby is crying?'' King Katthias asked while looking at me with an intimidating gaze.I knew that King Katthias already knew the answer to his question, it was just that my father was looking for an answer to his question to me.King Katthias wanted me to answer honestly in front of his eyes, but I didn't dare to do so.''Hilbert!" he hissed.Suddenly King Kathias clapped his hands in the air, and then two bodyguards appeared carrying Issabele a
Sitting in a chair and daydreaming about what had happened at this time often made me feel comfortable, by dragging on a myriad of feelings that I did not know what it looked like for sure.I often think about the mistakes I've made, sometimes I even wonder if loving Lizzbeth and the baby born from her womb was a mistake. Why didn't my father, the king of Katthias just approve my relationship with Lizzbeth and let you be happy and cancel my match with Esther?Why did I have to threaten to kill them both just so that I wouldn't mess with the arranged marriage, even I felt confused about what I should do to save them both from my father.Until in the end, I had to be bound by the agreements and agreements that I made with King Katthias, so I had to be forced to do all this to Lizzbeth even though I didn't want to do it.Locking her up and keeping her as a prisoner for the rest of her life without her knowing what she had done wrong!I know, Lizzbeth will regret it. Even very sorry afte
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
