"Haha." I laughed tastelessly with my heart in my throat after witnessing how she reacted to my condition.'He said that because he didn't know that I was originally just a poor Omega living in a small colony. If she knew, there's no way she would act that way towards me.' My mind responded to the innkeeper."I will order my servants to guard your room, Your Highness," she said as I hurriedly grabbed my room key and couldn't bear to leave."No need," I replied with some force. "I want to rest alone tonight. Please do not disturb me."She obediently agreed to my request. "Yes, Your Majesty."As I walked up the stairs that led to the second floor of the inn, my long breaths accompanied me. So did my jumbled thoughts that did not allow me to rest even though I had escaped from the palace."Ha ... Looks like Frederick will be looking for me again tonight," I muttered weakly. The key I grabbed earlier, I used to open the door of a small, shabby inn room.It felt like I was back in the orph
"No! Frederick is innocent! I told you not to bring anyone into this! It's all my fault!" I screamed pleadingly.My cold sweat began to pour down my cheeks as I watched the princes seemingly disbelieve me. I was frantic, how could I keep Frederick out of this?I've been cruel enough to have him dragged down and hurt by me. I don't want to involve him any more than this!"William, Nathaniel, you all misunderstand. I can explain everything to you if you stop mentioning names other than mine here," I pleaded again. My face was already like a beggar before them, asking for pity so that they would all believe me."Sister Isabelle, I didn't expect you to dare to play with the princes." Anastasia walked up to me with a grumpy look. "Do you realize you've made a big mistake? This pregnancy of yours is like you're betraying the kingdom. Do you want to be put to death?"I couldn't lift my lips to interrupt his statement. Anastasia, you know nothing. I am the victim here. I also have absolutely
"Let's go inside, it's cold." Matthias took off his gloves just to hold my hand.He had never done anything like that before."Alright," I replied, choosing to comply with his request.The two of us walked into the palace like a pair of newlyweds about to move into their private residence. The difference was that it wasn't the maids who accompanied us, but the royal soldiers who were ordered to take care of me.Matthias' palace was quieter than usual, as there were still some of his family members inside. But when we entered the main hall, I saw no one but servants."Ah, Matthias! I've been waiting for you for so long!"My face turned to the left side of the palace where I heard a woman's voice coming from the direction of the stairs. At the same time, a beautiful Alpha with golden hair appeared.The beautiful Alpha walked down the stairs with hurried steps. Followed by several of her personal servants who protested at her careless behaviour. Then I realised when I saw the lump on her
~ Rosa che ho baciato, ~~ Il suo profumo penetra ma è così velenoso. ~~ Come il tuo atteggiamento freddo verso di me, ~~ Mi rende confuso~~ Ma nonostante questo, questo amore non può smettere di provenire da te ~It was the best and sweetest orchestral music that these ears had never caught before.On the roof that sheltered us, snow was falling at its best pace. If not for the thick palace walls protecting us, we would have all frozen to death from the cold.In contrast to the blizzard outside, a beautiful Alpha with a bulging belly was humming in front of a smouldering stove that was emitting aromas.To chase away the awkwardness, Jessica brought in a small orchestra in this luxurious kitchen. Led by one melody player and one vocalist, the two of them sang us a beautiful song that accompanied the cooking of dinner.My help was denied by her; and I was left to sit and enjoy the warmth of the fireplace sparkling beside me. Meanwhile, Jessica was almost ready with her beautiful pas
"J-Jessica! Let me help you prepare dinner!" I called out to her who was about to walk away from us, before I got embarrassed with Matthias here.I hurriedly quickened my pace so that I didn't have to witness Matthias's confused face as I left. In my quick stride, I felt my face grow redder as I recalled the embarrassing thing we had just done.'Oh my God! I'm such a fool! How could I let myself be kissed by him? Where's your pride, Isabelle! Wake up!' I screamed at myself, blaming myself for my impulsive action just now.In order to get rid of the shame, I busied my hands with various cutlery. I placed the plate along with the fork and knife on the table, which should have been the job of the royal servant.But the Alpha I wanted to avoid instead snatched the plates away from me, rushed over and helped clear the table."Matthias, you don't need to help. Sit down." Jessica, who was busy pacing back and forth, noticed her brother and snatched the plate away from him."What the devil's
"Don't talk about it anymore. I don't want to hear it."My lips parted and gasped in the face of Alpha who gave an illogical answer, as opposed to what he had promised."What did you say just now?" I was greeted with a face of disbelief and filled with disappointment. "I didn't know you were the type who couldn't keep your word like this. Is it possible that you've been planning this since you first brought me in?""That you had no intention of saving Frederick?" I said. My chest felt tight as I held in my emotions.It seems that if it wasn't for Jessica who was still here, looking at us with a worried look in her eyes, I would have slapped Matthias across the face with all my might."My brother, don't say that. Isabelle is right. Isn't Frederick your best friend?" added Jessica, responding to my words.Matthias didn't answer. He took a hand to push aside his chair and moved away, walking away from us.He preferred to ignore me, rather than keep his promise."Matthias! We're not done
-- A day later -- On the border of Theodosius' kingdom .... "Don't put stones there! The leaders have agreed to place red flags on every street corner!" "Understood, Commander!" It was the weekend. I searched my memory again and still found the three-hour journey it took to reach Matthias' palace in the center of Theodosius' kingdom. And here, it took me a whole day to get out of there. Of course, the only vehicle I was using was a small cart hitching a ride from a villager who happened to be passing by. When my feet finally stepped onto the vast land of Theodosius, what I saw was the hustle and bustle of construction workers going back and forth. Hundreds of people were busy with the agenda of building a giant fort. "Hey, Miss! Omega can't be here! It's a nuisance!" one of the workers snapped at me because I was blocking their way. "Ah, I'm sorry!" I retorted, immediately stepping aside and moving to the side of the road. Today, the capital was very busy. Workers were strug
"We can't get out of here. Many soldiers are guarding the front. Isabelle, don't you know that the kingdom is about to go to war?"I was still busying my fingers with the various chains and cuffs attached to these iron bars. His words forced me to look up with my muscles stretched in surprise.My mouth opened wide as my eyes glared at him. "W-war? Are you sure about it, Frederick?"He nodded his face in his skin that was as pale as snow in the clouds. "You will not believe me. However, William has already formed an army to attack Matthias. He is working with Nathaniel."My body instantly went limp at that. "No way ... Is this all my fault? Should I not have run away and rather be captured by them.""Of course not," he replied at once. I heard him cluck in annoyance and throw his face down on me. "They just want to snatch you. More precisely, they don't like it when you're taken by Matthias. They won't let Matthias become king.""Then what should I do?" I asked. My hands were cold, but
