"You must serve the Alphas here as payment for buying you! Don't you realize? You are now a prostitute!" It was tiring to hear that sentence over and over again. "Yes, Ma’am. I understand. Give me five minutes to get ready," I told the innkeeper. Then she threw me an unhappy look and sneered at my unattractive body. She knows I'm pregnant, she knows my belly can't be hidden anymore. And still, she made me do this disgusting job. "Hurry up and clean that body of yours. Even the poor Alpha won't want to be served with that ugly face of yours," she ordered before walking away. The door to my room slammed roughly, causing the rickety walls of the room to shake. It's been three days since those military Alphas dropped me off here, in an inn that doubles as a brothel. That's right. That military Alpha who kidnapped me had gotten away with it. Just when I thought I was going to be tortured or taken somewhere, they threw me here instead. The owner of this inn said he had bought me at a
"I paid you dearly!" he snapped angrily. His temper flared to the point where it looked like he could strangle me with his glaring eyes."I'm an Alpha noble, got it? If I'm kidnapped, then this town will be responsible! You guys must protect me! Including you!"My expression turned sour after witnessing with my own eyes, how cowardly this Alpha in front of me was. Vven though he hadn't been hurt anything, his panic was like a girl who was about to be raped.How damn useless."Go get her and get out of here!" the Alpha snapped at the troublemaker who had entered our room. The culprit who had broken the door to the room was dressed all in black, similar to a ninja.Complete with a headdress, his tall posture loomed in the darkness. It was terrifying, but somehow I felt like I had seen him before. It was familiar to my eyes, as our gazes accidentally met.This embarrassing noise made by the Alpha noble beside me did not serve as a distraction from the impromptu rebellion we were experien
"Who exactly is this Alpha woman?" I whispered. My ears were already perked up ready to hear whatever answer he threw out.Instead, only the screeching sounds of the Alpha woman filled my auditory cavity. Until she managed to set her foot right in front of me, for the first time I felt an embrace from the Alpha woman."My daughter! My lost daughter Esther!" the Alpha woman screamed in my arms. Her hands were constantly touching my face, turning my cheeks, as if to check the authenticity of my appearance.Then her cries broke out again, and her embrace rushed to me again. The same thing happened over and over again like a pit of repetition. The only difference was one: the woman seemed so happy to find me."Your mum misses you a lot, dear," she said. She stroked my hair lovingly. Her warm touch was so foreign to my body that had only been accustomed to violence. I couldn't help but melt thanks to her gentle nature.I felt like I was meeting my mother."That's right, Isabelle." Frederic
"I'm sorry to interrupt your touching moment, Your Majesty. But as was our agreement before, You owe it to me."Frederick's voice suddenly appeared and broke our sobs. Instantly, he became the center of attention, especially me who was provoked by his declaration just now."Frederick," I called out. Despite the tears of emotion dripping down my face, I looked at his face with a cold aura. He knew I wasn't joking this time."Are you hiding something from me?" I asked him.He was still wearing the same watery-face. He was very calm for someone who was cornered."Isabelle. I told you, didn't I? Whatever happens, I'm going to save you from Matthias," he said. "For the sake of our baby, I'll do anything to save him."Time flashed through my head as if it had been cut by an imaginary pair of scissors, and stopped all timelines in their tracks. Instead of being struck by lightning, I felt like I'd been cut in half by what he'd just said to me."Wait a minute," I interrupted with blurred visi
[Isabelle's POV ends here][Switch to Frederick's POV]..."Son Frederick. You must accept the legal punishment for what you have done to our daughter."I had predicted, at least this is what I would receive after daring to hurt Isabelle earlier.The royal courtroom was only filled with me, King Elbarrack, Queen Camellia, and one judge who was handling this matter. From any kind of angle, what I had just done to Isabelle was crazy.With the help of my subordinates, I managed to find out who Isabelle's real parents were. With that, I was already regarded as a god of help for the Magnolia Kingdom. And now, I've broken their trust."On what grounds did you harm Princess Isabelle?" said the magistrate at his bench. "Are you aware of the consequences you will face if you dare to touch a member of the Magnolia kingdom?""I was fully aware," I said, without trying to defend myself. "My emotions were the only basis for me to make a mistake and hurt Princess Isabelle. I was afraid of losing he
[Frederick's POV ends][Back to Isabelle's POV]...The highest point of a person's consciousness is when he manages to gain control over oneself, even though one is still trapped in the dream world.This happened to me for the second time. The first time was when I was about to miscarry, and I dreamt of being tortured by Gabriel.This second time, this time, I was dreaming of being chased by Princes who wanted my baby."Are you awake?"The only other thing was the presence of Alpha's voice, the minute I opened my eyelids.Morning was bright and sunny, not knowing that it was still snowing heavily. My whole body was stiff as if it had been hit by a block of ice, and the pain attacking my head made me unable to get up."Don't force yourself. You know I hit you pretty hard that time."That voice was present again. But throughout my vision that scrutinized every curve of this royal room, I saw no one but those Luxury royal stuffs.But I recognized whose voice it was."Frederick ...?" I c
My misbehavior was dealt with directly by him after he could no longer entrust my meals to the servants of Magnolia kingdom.It's been over a week since I've seen his tall figure, clad in royal attire with a fluttering white robe, standing with his back to the giant doors guarded by royal soldiers.On either side of him, followed by the various food carts destined for me. When he reached my bed, I threw away my reluctant face to look at him.His hand immediately grabbed my chin and pulled it forcefully. A spoonful of milk porridge that was still warm, he forcibly stuffed into my mouth. I closed my lips tightly, but he continued to force me. As a result, my lips were torn by the sharp edge of the spoon."Argh!" I growled in pain. The porridge was halfway down my throat by force. And invited his happy smile. For the first time, he'd managed to force me to eat."You're crazy Alpha!" I screeched at his cruelty.He recognized that this method was effective enough to force me to finish the
The gleam of his eyes reflected on my distended belly that could no longer be covered. The corners of his lips lifted into a sardonic, sneering smile, I could feel the sheer disgust with which he looked at our baby."I knew it, you're just like those cheap Omegas out there," he said with a sarcastic snort. "You're saying you got pregnant because of me? Because I raped you that night? Nonsense.""I'm not lying!" I screeched, shaking my head to make him believe me. "How many times do I have to say it? I was the Omega in your dream! You did fuck me that night! And this is your child!""Isabelle!" Frederick began to panic as I eagerly laid out all the facts in front of him."Stop that nonsense, you're pregnant with my child!" he snapped.I was starting to feel dizzy from the drama he was sowing. "Frederick? Have you lost your mind? There's no way I'm pregnant with your child. You know best that I'm-hmmm!"My words were cut short by a forced kiss by him. His fingers slipped between my hair
