Everyone was startled and delighted, as if they hadn’t really expected it even though they had made such a fuss.
Adrian singled out the knight who had been shouting the loudest and dressed him in the Crown Prince’s attire. He had impulsively thought he wanted to see him once, but he hated the thought of a man he had never met before fawning over him, calling him Your Highness, Your Highness, so he came up with this plan.
Still, they were of similar build, and with the hair and eye color changed with magical items and a mask on, it seemed that he could imitate the Crown Prince for a few hours without being detected. He ordered him to get a servant’s outfit that wouldn’t stand out as the clothes he would wear.
And finally, he arrived at the Hamilton Count’s capital townhouse.
We hereby formally declare that the youngest member of Hamilton, the guardian of the most fertile land, has from this day forward become a member of the glorious blue blood!
He took a seat in a secluded place with almost no people and watched Noah Hamilton being recognized as a legitimate nobleman by the head of the family.
Noah Hamilton, wearing a white uniform made of delicate lace, was like a venomous, dark red rose, befitting his Pheromone. According to his brother’s assessment, he was like an angel, but if you only looked at his outward appearance, he was the opposite. He had a dazzling and dreamy appearance, like a succubus who had come to seduce people.
Compared to the features of his face, which seemed even dogmatic, his calm blue eyes, which seemed only clear, were particularly incongruous.
He was certainly beautiful. But that was the end of the appreciation. Rather, after seeing his face, he felt empty for some reason. He felt that it would have been better to look at one more document than to waste his time like this, so he inwardly clicked his tongue, regretting that he had made such an impulsive decision, and was about to sit down and rest until his subordinates returned to the palace…
“I don’t recognize your face.”
Why was this happening? When he came to his senses, Noah Hamilton, who had been twirling in the middle of the hall, showing off his splendid lace, was standing right in front of him.
It was a foolish tone and expression that didn’t suit his venomous appearance at all. When did this little acorn roll over here without a sound?
He hurriedly checked the magical items he was wearing again, worried that he might be noticed and things would get troublesome. Fortunately, the magical items that changed his eye and hair color and blurred his perception were all in place.
“Haha, yes… Everyone seems busy today. Did you get lost?”
Adrian shook his head with a lukewarm attitude. However, even though he was deliberately arrogant, thinking that he would leave on his own if he felt a little bad, this damn acorn just rolled his eyes as if he was in trouble.
If he just kept his mouth shut, he would be able to stand up to the Empress, but at this rate, he would be eaten alive if he entered the Imperial Palace. Adrian unconsciously predicted such a future without realizing it. It should have been frustrating, but strangely, it didn’t feel so frustrating.
If he thought about this venomously beautiful face coming to him after being humiliated by the Empress, shedding tears and prostrating himself… Strangely, he swallowed hard.
It was around the time that Adrian was lost in such thoughts that Hamilton’s eldest son, whom he had known for a long time, suddenly appeared.
Hamilton’s eldest son grabbed Noah Hamilton, who was half a head shorter than him, by the collar with a voice full of anger and resentment, as if he were looking at his parents’ enemy, and then pushed him to the floor.
It was unexpected. He already knew that he was an adopted child from a collateral branch, so it wasn’t a big surprise, and judging from the words and actions of the second son, who was a member of the Imperial Knights, he thought he was just a beloved youngest son, but the reality inside the mansion seemed to be different.
Even after the young Count moved away, Noah Hamilton couldn’t get up from the spot where he had been thrown and just trembled. Adrian looked at his back for a moment, then took a step closer and asked if he was okay. His hands were busy wiping his face in a hurry. He seemed to be wiping away tears. He wanted to see his face wet with tears. He was a little disappointed.
“Thank you. If you don’t mind, could you stay with me for a moment? It’s a little, hard to be alone…”
As he took Adrian’s hand, Noah Hamilton raised his head slightly. His pale face, bathed in moonlight, looked pathetic. His eyes were red and moist, as if he had rubbed them hard.
Ah. He wanted to make him cry more. If possible, with his own hands.
Adrian Pearson’s heart began to beat with a dangerous rhythm.
He had never been aware of it before, so he hadn’t even realized it properly yet, but in fact, Adrian’s sexual desire had a somewhat sadistic tendency.
He willingly reached out his hand, as if licking up Noah Hamilton’s trembling jawline and swaying blue eyes with his gaze, as if he couldn’t bear the sorrow.
The slender fingers that were gently placed on Adrian’s large palm were so light that he could barely feel their weight. He suddenly felt a strong dissatisfaction with the servant’s clothes he was wearing now.
If he revealed his identity as the Crown Prince, he could tightly entwine these white fingers right now, or squeeze the wrist revealed under the sleeve until it broke.
The slender bones with rough handprints would be even more beautiful. Just like the pathetic tears that would form in his blue eyes would be dazzlingly beautiful.
Until a moment ago, Noah Hamilton’s beautiful appearance was nothing more than a commonplace work of art hanging on the walls of the corridor to Adrian, but what was going on? In the blink of an eye, an amazing inspiration rushed in.
He still wanted to make him cry. He wanted to drive him hard and give him unbearable shame, and then wipe away the tears from his face as he cried sadly, not knowing what to do, and when he was completely relieved, he wanted to grab his neck and twist it whole. Physically or symbolically.
“I showed you something I shouldn’t have. Please forget it.”
Perhaps it was out of consideration for the nobleman’s face, but unfortunately, Noah Hamilton didn’t cry any more, even with his eyes reddened to the point of drooling. Instead of hastily finishing the main dish that was right in front of him, Adrian decided to promise himself a future banquet.
Anyway, now that he had manifested as a Dominant Omega, Noah Hamilton was his.
He was not interested in orchids that had grown well in a sunny place without any flaws. No matter how elegant the orchid was, no matter how far its fragrance spread, even thousands of miles away, it was the same. Adrian was more interested in wild weeds that had some flaws, that would not know that the hand that stroked their head would tighten their leash, and would tearfully and gratefully submit.
“No. Don’t say that.”
I don’t know where the chilly tone and actions from just a moment ago went. Adrian maintained a moderate attitude, not quite melting like a tongue in the mouth, but not dripping with coldness either, and with a subtle gesture, he firmly gripped and released Noah Hamilton’s shoulder once.
The pretense of helping him up with that gesture was quite skillful, to the point where Noah Hamilton wouldn’t detect even a hint of suspicion.
“I’ve imposed on you a lot, even though we just met. Thank you.”
“…It’s no imposition at all. It’s my pleasure.”
Even though he was acting as a mere servant, Adrian stared directly into his master’s eyes and muttered in a chillingly low voice. Yes. It truly was his pleasure.
‘Adrian Pearson’s Favorability has increased by 1%.
“I showed you an unsightly side. Please forget it.”
‘Adrian Pearson’s Favorability has increased by 1%.
‘Adrian Pearson’s Favorability has increased by 1%.
‘Adrian Pearson’s Favorability has increased by 1%.
“It’s nothing. Please don’t say that.”
‘Adrian Pearson’s Favorability has increased by 1%.
I’m going crazy. What is this? Is it a glitch? Even when Kyle, who had raised his favorability to over 90%, swore eternal love to me, I never heard such a continuous series of notification sounds ringing so loudly in my ears.
Does it notify you like this when the numbers increase continuously in a short period? This was truly a first. When I checked the numbers, it was already close to 20%. Even if it’s easy to raise it in the beginning, it’s not easy to raise it by 1% at a time once it exceeds 10%. Why, though?
When I saw Andrew humiliating me and it jumped up by 5% at once, I thought this was the right direction, but at this point, it was scary. The effect was too good. Just, just with this?
“I’ve imposed on you a lot, even though we just met. Thank you.”
“…It’s no imposition at all. It’s my pleasure.”
Our eyes met, and for some reason, my shoulders shivered. His eyes were wide and gleaming. The biggest problem was that he seemed genuinely pleased. Was the Crown Prince crazy? No, that kind of setting wasn’t mentioned anywhere.
