[Seraphine's POV]I made it seem as though my voice was urging him to turn around and leave. Like a heartbroken youth, Jesse dragged his feet with no enthusiasm. He walked away from me, while I stood here, waiting by my horse-drawn carriage.My position just was far enough from the palace that ordinarily, no one would know about my existence here. Patiently, I waited until he entered the palace, welcomed by several servants.Briefly, I caught Jesse glancing at me while being attended to by many servants. From a distance, I could see the look of concern and confusion in his eyes.In Jesse's eyes, I was just a helpless Omega, incapable of doing anything. There was a tinge of guilt rippling in the depths of me, regarding my past misdeeds of hypnotizing Jesse and deceiving him.‘I'm doing this for the greater good, for all sake,’ I said to myself. Over and over again, each time the guilt resurfaced.My wait finally led to an end when Jesse and some of the servants finally entered the pala
[Seraphine's POV]I never thought I would finally find what I've been searching for!"A button. That's what it is. He hid a button in this room. Does this button connect to the room where Riana's body is hidden?" I said. I leaned in to see the button I accidentally pressed earlier.The large books on the main shelf in this room were just a distraction from the existence of a secret button. And when I managed to touch it, a hidden door opened right in front of me.The door was inconspicuous and not carefully observed. Carefully, I approached it. This secret door was wedged between the bookshelf crevice and quite narrow. If I wanted to enter, I had to hold my breath so my belly wouldn't get stuck.Before deciding to enter, I peeked into the room behind the door. It was dark, just darkness greeting my vision.And there didn't seem to be any button here that could illuminate the room a little. So, I took the initiative to search for a candle in this room.Fortunately, I found one. After t
[Seraphine's POV]No matter how loudly I screamed, as if this large room would collapse due to the vibrations of my voice, Omega in the white gown remained unmoved. As if she were a statue, completely unfazed by my burning anger.There was suspicion and apprehension because Omega didn't move at all. I didn't know if she was alive or not, or if she was a puppet. Eventually, I forced myself to walk toward her, even though my heart told me not to."I-it can't be ...."And what I found when I stood in front of Omega was a face I recognized all too well.How could I not? We had just met and talked for a long time, recently.Indeed, she was Riana. The Omega who should have died so brutally, the Omega whose body should have decayed from being stabbed and battered multiple times.But now, Riana was alive again. She sat on that stone table, dressed in a clean white gown. There was no longer a gaping hole in her chest that had caused her death. And now she was looking at me, smiling, her lips d
[Seraphine's POV]"How ... How can I defeat power as immense as this?" I am at a loss for words for the first time.Even without looking into the future, I already know the answer. It will be incredibly difficult to defeat Riana in her perfect condition, even with all my strength.'Not with the baby still in my womb. If I force myself to fight, both of us will die!' I scream inwardly."Miss Seraphine!"From up here, as I try to brainstorm for a way to find a loophole to defeat Riana, suddenly my ears are disturbed by a faint voice from below.Jesse. I lower my head to gaze at the garden area, and there he is.‘Stupid! He shouldn't have come here!' I scream inwardly, frustrated by his unwanted arrival."What is actually happening, Miss!? Who is that terrifying creature!?" Jesse shouts with all his might, trying to communicate with me amidst Riana's relentless attacks.I immediately activate my telepathic power to communicate from a distance. I won't let Riana know about Jesse's existen
[Seraphine's POV]Jesse ran so fast, as if the wind had lightened his body. I only needed to watch him for a few minutes to ensure he had completely vanished from this place.*Boom! Boom! Boom!**Kaboom! Kaboom!*And the explosions and trembling ground served as a reminder alarm for me to return to the real world. To face the dreadful monster disguised as an innocent omega named Riana."Sigh ... How many times do I have to face something like this? The first time, when I arrived in Silverbrook Haven village. Then, the four Alphas, and also the mysterious Alpha with wings, Geovanni, Cassian's personal servant, was the same. And now Riana? Oh my. How much longer do I have to risk my life by fighting alongside these mad people?"Consider my sanity starting to break now, leading to me growing weary of fighting. Considering that this is the fifth time I'm fighting someone who's trying to target and harm me.*Boom! Boom! Boom!**Crack! Crackle!**Boom! Boom! Boom!*But this one, her dreadfu
[Seraphine's Viewpoint]As long as I'm here, not only is my pregnancy weakening me, but I'm also an Omega whose abilities are more valuable for information gathering than defense."I don't know how to defeat her," I muttered to myself. I looked at Riana, flying like an ominous angel in the sky, ready to kill me at any moment.'Cassian... Is he still far away? How much longer do I have to bide my time until he gets here? And wait. What if he doesn't come? Cassian might get mad at me for hypnotizing him, and he might not want to help me.Panic and despair like I'd never felt before cluttered my mind. I tried to see the future without touching her, but my efforts proved futile.Like a glass on a table shaken by an earthquake, Riana's recent words had shattered my mental strength. I know this is my greatest vulnerability. I may be strong, but one blow leaves me helpless."Weak."I heard her voice again, Riana's voice. This time, her voice sounded so close, as if she was standing right in
[Seraphine's POV]"W-what? What explanation are you referring to, Cassian?" I asked him. However, all I got was Cassian walking away from me.I heard the sound of his armor's shields clinking, resonating with his quickly retreating steps."Cassian! Wait! You haven't answered my question!"Call me crazy, but right now in my mind, Cassian's change in behavior seemed more important than dealing with Riana whom we had to defeat.Seeing my Prince in action, those who were part of the war force also prepared to mount their horses for the attack. Weapons in hand, they pushed their large cannons to the center of the garden, and some of them readied their flaming arrows.I remained seated in the middle of the garden, passed by the soldiers walking past me one by one. I stared at them with a puzzled, dazed look, still not fully grasping what was actually happening.When I saw Cassian in the distance, already preparing to confront Riana with his powers, my desire to help resurged. I ignored the
[Seraphine's POV]"We will try to drive this carriage as gently as possible, so it won't hurt you, Miss."My brow furrows. I still don't understand how all the servants inside this horse-drawn carriage became aware of my pregnancy."Hey, quickly tell me. How did you all find out that I'm pregnant?" I grab one of the Omega servants sitting next to me, guarding me from the side.He looks surprised at first. When I pull at his collar, almost choking him, his eyes that were initially scared shift to calm and ordinary. Slowly, he smiles at me, contrary to his now reddened face due to breathlessness."We do not have the right to say anything about it, Miss. This is all an order directly given to us by Prince Cassian," he says very politely.I'm frustrated, not getting any answers and only becoming more confused. I push the Omega servant's body until he hits the carriage wall, causing a jolt.Instantly, the carriage driver in the front, separated by a wall and unable to see behind, stops the
