"Then ... What did Matthias say about Omega in his dream?" I asked with my heart racing as if flooded with adrenaline.I just hoped Arthur didn't find me with a tense and suspicious look on my face, because right now I was very surprised by what I had just heard.'Didn't Matthias give up on Omega in his dream? I didn't know he was still looking for her!' I began to panic."That's why I asked you," Arthur replied, looking as clueless as I was. "And about Estella being pregnant too. I'm sure there's a mistake here. What do you think, Isabelle?"My lips parted at his question. My brain was wondering if he was asking because he really wanted to know something, or just because he wanted to test me? If he wanted to test me, then I'd better keep quiet here."Why are you asking me? Aren't you the ones who are closer to Estella?" I countered with the opposite question. "If you guys don't know, what about me?""Tsk." I heard him snort in annoyance once again for who knows how many times.Just w
"Frederick?" my mouth opened reflexively to see who was standing in front of me now.An Alpha in all-white royal clothes, a face I had never seen in my life. He was the alpha who helped me two days ago, when I was caught eavesdropping on the princes in their room."Let me help him," Frederick pleaded with the maids beside me. "You can leave now."They looked at each other with confused expressions, clearly hesitant about Frederick's order which seemed different from the one they had received. Although in the end they obeyed the order and slowly left my room./bam/Frederick closed the door as soon as it was just the two of us in this room. I even watched him deliberately lock the door before finally turning around, and walking over to me who was about to undress in front of him."Frederick ..." I said the alpha's name once again in a confused state. This was my first time dealing with him, considering he was the least alpha ever in this castle.And what he did to me two days ago was s
How could I relax in the room of an Alpha I didn't even recognize?Frederick asked me to take some of his clothes to replace my tattered dress. Even though I was hesitant and confused to death, I complied with his request.I took his clothes that I thought were the smallest so that they would fit my body. In a hurry for fear of him coming back while I was undressing, I used all my strength to strip off my clothes and replace them with his.That's it, just in time for Frederick to return to this room with some food. He did not break his promise. Instead, he brought a glass of milk that I didn't ask for."Do you have an allergy to anything?" he asked me, his hands already full with a tray containing a lot of snacks. "I brought you some biscuits and milk, along with bread. Is there anything you'd like to eat besides this?""Ah, no," I replied, shaking my head. "Thank you, sorry to trouble you."He returned my words with a smile. from the tail of his eyes, I accidentally caught him briefl
[Isabelle's POV has ended][Author's POV starts from here]"Celine! Celine! Where are you! I order you to check on Isabelle right now!" Matthias' shout woke up the silence around the third floor of the palace.Including the doctor who was just finishing tidying up his medical room. Celine was disturbed when the prince Matthias was carrying the unconscious Isabelle in his arms. Immediately, the young doctor invited them to enter and called another nurse to carry out the examination."Your Highness, we advise you to wait outside," Celine said, preventing Matthias from entering the medical room. "We need your full concentration to carry out the examination in order to get the results as quickly as possible.""What—hey!" Matthias protested unhappily as the door to the room was unilaterally closed."Damn it!" he growled in annoyance. With both hands clenched into fists, Matthias punched a flowerpot until it shattered and caused a commotion.Along with his scarred hand, dripping fresh blood
[Author's POV]"Hey, can you guys not fight like babies? Next to this room is Celine who is trying to heal Isabelle. Your stupid shouting will only disturb her." William finally opened his voice after a long silence. It seems that he is also starting to get carried away seeing the endless bickering of the two adult princes."Shut up, William. Let me finish my business with Arthur, then I'll beat Frederick to death," retorted Matthias who was already drowning in his emotions."Ha ..." William let out a long sigh signalling exhaustion with this confusing situation. "Frederick, can you walk to Celine's room by yourself? Ask her to treat your wound before it gets infected. I have other things to do after this."Frederick nodded in understanding. He watched William move away rather than join in separating Matthias who was still about to fight with Arthur."Hey, Arthur. You'd better explain that ridiculous remark of yours to me than I'll break your neck right now," Matthias growled at the A
[Author's POV is over][Back to Isabelle's POV]"Your Highness Isabelle! You can't get off the bed yet! You're still very weak!" Doctor Celine shouted as she had just returned from her room and saw that I had almost escaped from this medical room.When I heard the commotion outside, the unconscious me immediately opened my eyes. It was as if my mind could no longer contain itself if it heard Matthias' voice. I'm pretty sure I heard Matthias' shouting voice as he argued with the other Alpha.'Moreover, I heard them keep mentioning my name. Are they fighting because of me?' I thought with my consciousness still not fully recovered."Your Highness, the princes request that you remain here until you recover," Doctor Celine said. She was swiftly pulling back my body and forcing me to lie down."But, Celine, didn't you hear that they were fighting out there?" snapped me, refusing to comply with her request. "I think I should see them with my own eyes. It seems like they're fighting because
"But ..." Doubts plagued my mind ever since I found Matthias unconscious. Frederick's hand consistently grasped me tightly and pulled me quickly away from the room."Let’s go," he pleaded once again in a very soft voice.I looked at the bed where Matthias was, then turned to Frederick who was still waiting for me faithfully. I repeatedly did so as my heart wavered over who I should prioritize at the moment."Isabelle, you want to forget Matthias, don't you?" he said. Frederick's deep, raspy voice echoed right in my ears, just enough to make me flinch at his ability to read my mind."I can help you," he continued. I felt his fingers caress the back of my hand with great affection. "I can help you forget Matthias. He's a dangerous Alpha, you'll only get hurt if you stay by his side.""A dangerous Alpha?" I muttered, repeating his words. "But ... How did you know I wanted to forget Matthias?"He didn't answer. Instead, Frederick put his arm around my shoulders and led me slowly away from
"Ugh..." The agony in my belly could not make me run away from a complaint. The more I tried to endure it, the more pain I received.At this point, I felt like the baby inside my belly was being ripped apart and taken from the outside. Frederick beside me continued to help wipe away my cold sweat with the cloth in his hand. He held on to me as if trying to strengthen me.Perhaps in his mind, this is what would have happened if I had been stubborn and refused to be taken to doctor Celine office earlier."Isabelle, I think I should bring doctor Celine here to examine you," he said. Without saying anything else to me, he left in a hurry./blam!/As the door closed, I instantly found the silence in this room so eerie. His presence had undoubtedly made me forget about Matthias. So when he left, my thoughts returned to Matthias who was like poison in my brain."Ha ..." I let out a long, tired breath. "Is it because of my baby? That I can't stop thinking about him? Is it because I'm so cowar
