Episode 5
As he walked around the middle gate and entered the separate room, his gestures were soft enough not to disturb the languor of the afternoon.
“Edith.”
Edith was lying on her stomach with her forearms resting on her back, her eyelids quietly falling over her cheeks as she fell into a deep sleep.
Clyde’s steps stopped.
The moment I found her sleeping, my light steps stopped completely.
After observing the atmosphere for a while from a distance in the private room, I approached carefully so as not to even hear the sound of the hem of my clothes brushing against me.
Clyde sat down slowly across from the small table, holding his breath.
Just make the mouth look like ‘Edith.’ and called again.
No reaction.
I tilted my head and looked at her face beneath her disheveled hair, but there was no reaction.
Clyde didn’t want to wake her as she was sleeping beautifully. She was going to watch and wait until she woke up.
A space where no one can come and go, a quiet and secret private room, and the time after a meal when you can’t help but fall asleep.
It was the perfect atmosphere to gaze at her in fascination.
He sat across from her for a long time, looking at her like a marble statue.
A sweet smile appeared on the lips surrounded by a sharp jawline.
It was a completely different atmosphere from the time when I was telling her to immediately read the documents piled high.
Clyde rested his elbows on the table so quietly that only the sound of dust settling was heard. The movement of his chin was also careful.
Long fingers stretched out and pointed at her hair.
With a movement so light that I couldn’t even feel it, I touched a strand of hair sticking out.
He let out a small, dreamy whisper.
“Are you, like me, deliberately pretending not to know?”
I was afraid that my faint sigh would be heard, so I exhaled a little and then stopped.
“Or is it true what you said earlier about forgetting me?”
I took the remaining breaths little by little.
There was no reason to be this careful, but once I decided not to wake her, I didn’t want to ruin her sleeping state.
I have always thought that we would meet again someday. Edith raised him well, just as he had dreamed, and developed his childhood genius appropriately so that he passed his exams with ease.
I was proud and thankful for her.
Clyde has been looking for a servant to work in the separate room. Apart from an attendant who would handle the office’s official documents, there was a need for someone to draw up strategic plans.
But Edith is the first servant to fill this position.
I was even a little moved.
When she didn’t notice when he played with her sticking out hair, he became a little more bold.
My insidious yet instinctive greed grew, and I wanted to do something while she was awake.
I folded my upper body and stood up halfway.
As her bulging cheeks filled my view, my primal desire quickly grew in volume.
I overlapped my face over his sleeping face.
A dark shadow flickered across her clean forehead.
Just like Clyde’s dark insides, who are secretly plotting mischievous things, his innocent, ignorant skin is stained with greed.
‘Color, color, new fluid.’
The sound of breathing, which he could not hear when he was sitting, stimulated his hearing.
The desire to keep it safe and the urge to immediately turn it over, attack it, and defile it arose together.
The conflicting psyches fought as fiercely as fire and water. If her fiery desire won out, I would jump over her table and there was no telling what I would do to her.
I clenched my teeth tightly.
Let’s not do this.
There was a faint taste of blood in my mouth as I chewed.
Reason, trying to endure, tormented the bubbling body.
The moment when you might exceed the limits of self-control.
Alpha pheromone flowed out unconsciously.
This was the first time that the pheromones that had been tightly controlled were released against my will.
A seductive scent leaked out from behind his ears, without even realizing that he was emitting a substance that attracted Omega.
Edith was stroking her rounded back and giving off a completely different scent.
It was the natural body odor coming from human skin.
At first glance, it smelled like soap, but that was it. I didn’t feel any pheromones. Without a doubt, as a beta, she was extremely pure.
Even after realizing that he had accidentally spilled the alpha pheromone, Clyde did not bother to save it. Since the beta was not conscious of the alpha’s pheromones, it seemed okay to just let her instincts do what they told her to do.
At that time, her face, which had not flinched, moved as Clyde muttered to himself.
The eyebrows narrowed slightly.
“Yes… … .”
Edith let out an uncomfortable moan and tried to get up.
Is it a coincidence?
Was he about to open his eyes just in time because he was so focused?
no way… … .
Isn’t it reacting to pheromones?
Edith, who had been so quiet the whole time, woke up at just the right time when pheromones were pouring out onto her sleeping face.
Although I thought it was a coincidence, it was also a situation that made me suspect that Omega temperament might be latent.
Long, curved, platinum-colored eyelashes trembled.
Fresh green eyes appeared as if in early summer.
If you continue like this, your face will be discovered. Clyde quickly lifted her head and stepped away.
Edith opened her eyes just in time.
By the time her hazy eyes began to focus, he was sitting on the chair across from her as if nothing had happened.
I also made a rustling sound on purpose. She smoothed her hair from her forehead and fiddled with the front of her coat.
As soon as Edith came to her senses, she immediately raised her head.
“Oh, are you here? majesty.”
She was extremely embarrassed.
I was embarrassed by the fact that Clyde went to sleep without even realizing when he came to the separate room.
How do you overcome this difficulty?
With a disheveled appearance, he shook his head in his own way.
The first strategy was to pretend not to sleep. First, I tightened my forehead and pretended to have normal, half-asleep eyes.
But looking at Clyde’s bewildered expression, it seemed like he was in despair as soon as it started.
“I guess you were sleeping?”
I got caught. Still, I caught it anyway.
“no.”
Such a simple answer is not appropriate as an honorific for a servant to the crown prince. However, because he was embarrassed, his speech became short.
Clyde stretched his plump, attractive lips from side to side without showing any special signs.
He stared blankly and took out a handkerchief from his coat pocket.
The moment Edith saw it, she gasped.
Am I in a situation where I need a handkerchief to cover my face?
I was so embarrassed and embarrassed that I tried to cry, but I couldn’t bring myself to blatantly distort my cheeks.
“why… … Please?”
She quickly tried to touch her face. She had to cover up any stains.
“Just stay still.”
Clyde was about to hand Edith a white handkerchief with elegant embroidery, but he paused for a moment, as if he had changed his mind.
He lightly rolled his fingertips in a handkerchief.
The piece of cloth neatly folded around my finger was white enough to make me cry. It’s a white color that makes embarrassing tears come out of nowhere.
Clyde, perhaps aware of the rising shame, calmly began to gently wipe her cheek.
My face heated up.
I’m sorry about the manners of wiping your drool, but can you please refrain from doing so?
The voice of my heart could not come out of my mouth. The Crown Prince was bestowing his grace on me, but I couldn’t just remove his face.
The corners of his mouth, which he gently wiped, burned bright red like hot iron, and his fingers shriveled up. The toes in her shoes were also curled on the inside.
Could it be that the intention is to harass me on purpose?
If you weren’t joking to make him feel even more embarrassed, there was no way he would do something like this.
The flow of despairing thoughts went astray and I ended up resenting the lunch that was so delicious that I overate it.
Even in the midst of my confusion, the area where Clyde’s delicate touch had passed tickled so irritatingly that goosebumps rose from the area around me to the nape of my neck.
“That’s enough, Edith.”
Moreover, he even calls me by name. When did we become so close?
But why does it sound so natural to hear?
With her name on his tongue, Clyde let out a smooth voice as if he had always been called that.
Could it be that he is a man who is very good at dealing with the opposite sex?
Everything is confusing.
Every moment is an ordeal.
No, before he met the main character in the original work, he was busy being capricious and disciplining his subordinates. There weren’t many Omegas around.
Clyde was a character who was not very welcome by other characters other than the main character, Main Sue. To be precise, he used to get cursed at a lot.
In order to rule an empire, there must be procedures and degrees, but he would ignore those and push for his will.
A tyrant is not just someone who cuts off people’s throats. A rotten person who pushes people around him to death is also a tyrant.
When I thought of Clyde’s Omega, I also remembered another story.
Our main character, One&Only, was friendly, angelic, and kind to only a limited number of main characters. The two of them were beeping like a runaway locomotive, and I said everything because I took care of my angelic baby first even before we got married.
There was a lot of criticism from readers asking where the story and probability had gone, but that didn’t matter because more than 90% of the story was covered in scenes.
The novel Edith was reading was a mecca for readers looking for a cozy trash can.
Of course, before she was possessed, she only read the parts, bookmarking them diligently.
Of course, it was only good when read.
That is, until he suddenly falls into another world and takes on the role of directly serving Crown Prince Jinsang.
Now, I couldn’t help but shout, ‘Writer, please show some plausibility!’ and deplore how one person could have such a dual personality and go back and forth between being a kind man and a tyrant man.
However, Clyde was showing an extreme attitude when dealing with her. Whenever I suddenly have to take a difficult test, I am now wiping my mouth with a handkerchief.
In an attempt to control her blushing mood, Edith excused herself in a deep voice.
“I didn’t have any work yet, so I took a break. “Time passed in a boring way.”
After spitting out the words, I felt like I had made a mistake. I should have made excuses such as lying down for a while to relax or not feeling well, and left out the topic of work.
He wrapped his hand around the handkerchief he had finished wiping and put it away. This was done to prevent the stain from being visible to Edith.
Such manners… … Ha, it was good, but I felt like I couldn’t just like it.
I knew very well what that stain was.
