Because of this, it is impossible for an Alpha to completely possess a single Omega. They must always tremble in anxiety, fearing that another Alpha might erase the traces they left behind and steal their Omega away.
For Omegas, however, while they could leave a mark on only one person in their lifetime, it was absolutely irreversible. An Alpha who receives a mark becomes subordinate to the Omega; thereafter, they can no longer smell the pheromones of other Omegas, nor can they have children. In essence, their entire life becomes mortgaged to the Omega who carved the mark.
There is only one way to remove this mark: either the Omega who left it or the Alpha who bears it must die. Thus, it was not uncommon for Alphas who had once confessed a passionate love and desired a mark to kill the Omega once their feelings cooled, simply to get rid of it.
Because the Omega’s mark was so powerful yet dangerous, Bliss had no choice but to be even more overprotective. If only the children could get marked, there would be no more threats to the youngest. Unfortunately, due to a mistake in his youth, part of his brain was damaged, making it impossible for him to receive a mark from Koi. Furthermore, Ashley reacted only to Koi’s pheromones and suffered side effects from other Omegas’ pheromones, meaning Bliss’s pheromones also had no effect on him. Therefore, as long as the children were careful, the matter was simple. But if that proved difficult…
He would just have to make it physically impossible.
Having reached this decision, Ashley decided to send Bliss across the ocean. The place he chose was—
“I’ve decided to send you to England.”
Hieek.
Bliss’s eyes widened. This time, unable to even scream, he simply stood there with his eyes and mouth agape. Instead of continuing immediately, Ashley brought his still-hot coffee to his lips. After stalling for time by letting the black liquid flow down his throat, he set the teacup down and spoke.
“It won’t be for long. I think one or two years at most will be enough. Just think of it as a somewhat long vacation…”
As he spoke, Ashley clicked his tongue inwardly upon seeing Bliss sitting across the table with a vacant expression. He must be appalled. To suddenly appear and tell him to leave the place where he lived. Just as he was about to open his mouth to persuade his youngest son again with a bittersweet heart—
Suddenly, Bliss’s eyes snapped open and he shouted loudly.
“Really? Really, really England? Am I going alone? Just me, alone in England?”
Oh dear, he’s taken quite a shock.
Ashley clicked his tongue again, feeling pity. How shocked must he be to repeat the same words like that? His vocabulary was already lacking, but now he couldn’t even form a proper sentence.
Ashley softened his tone and spoke as gently as possible.
“Yes, Bliss. I hope you can bear it for a while, even if you’re lonely. I’ll prepare everything you need so you can stay comfortably…”
“Hieek!”
Bliss gasped and covered his mouth with both hands. Oh, is he about to burst into tears? Feeling sorry for him, Ashley stroked Bliss’s arm to comfort him.
“I’m sorry. But don’t worry too much. Papa and Daddy will visit you whenever we can…”
“Ah, no, no, no!”
At those words, Bliss jumped in surprise and waved his hands frantically. When Ashley paused and looked at him, Bliss belatedly came to his senses and spoke with an awkward smile.
“Why would you do that when you’re so busy? I can manage on my own. Of course, don’t worry. England, I mean, England.”
Once again, Bliss repeated the same words. Good heavens, it seemed the youngest son had been so shocked that he had gone mad. Looking at him with complicated emotions, Ashley spoke.
“Bliss, if you don’t like England, I can find another place…”
Before the sentence could even finish, Bliss jumped up and shook his head vigorously.
“Ah, no! I love it, I love it so much! I’ll go to England. Please send me to England, definitely! Yay! England! Versailles! Mozart! The Alps!”
Ashley was bewildered by the sight of him spinning around the room shouting “Yahoo!”, but he soon pushed his doubts aside. After all, if Bliss was satisfied, wasn’t that enough?
“Right, Bliss. I’m glad you like the idea.”
Relieved, Ashley stood up and straightened his suit. Bliss, who had been hopping on the bed, jumped down and threw himself into Ashley’s arms. Ashley affectionately stroked his son’s hair and gave one final reminder.
“Tell me anytime if you don’t like it, and I’ll prepare another location. And tell me if there’s anything you need.”
“Yes, don’t worry. I love you, Papa!”
I can’t believe you’re letting me go to England this easily!
As he expressed his gratitude with an overflowing heart, Ashley gave a thin smile, left a light kiss on the child’s cheek, and exited the room. Bliss, who watched from the window as Papa’s car drove away, finally let out the cheer he had been holding back with all his might once he confirmed he was alone.
“Kyahhhhhhh!”
Unable to contain his excitement, he leaped onto the sofa, rolled around on the bed, and went out to the balcony to scream.
Yes, it’s happened! Finally, I can get my revenge!
Bliss gazed into the distance, imagining where England might be. He couldn’t believe it had been resolved so unexpectedly.
He hadn’t hired a butler yet. Cassian Strickland, just you wait. Soon, you’ll regret the words you said eight years ago to the depths of your bones. How dare you touch my family. I’ll make you pay a very high price!
“Mwahahaha, mwahahahaha!”
Even now, he was intoxicated by a sense of victory, as if everything were already over. At that moment, Bliss had not yet realized one very important fact. And thirty minutes after he had lain down on the bed for a happy sleep, Bliss bolted upright, his face turning pale.
This is bad.
“Aaaagh!”
Letting out a scream that contrasted sharply with his previous laughter, he leaped out of bed. On the tea table lay the documents he had received from Larien. The very documents Bliss had to memorize.
What should he do?
He hadn’t even memorized a quarter of a quarter of the documents. There were only three days left. Excluding the time spent on the plane, would he have at most one day?
“F-first, I’ll set the interview date.”
He could proceed with the rest according to that. After setting a timer to calculate the time to call the butler, he faced his greatest obstacle.
“Uuuugh.”
It was impossible to memorize all these documents. Once, after seeing Nathaniel remember the contents of a trial—which was about three times the size of this stack—after reading it just once, he had tried to imitate him, but he gave up immediately after getting stuck on a word on the first page. Now, there were no words in these documents he didn’t understand, but the problem was memorizing them.
“Who cares about the history of the Strickland family? I don’t even know American history!”
It was just as he flared up in anger. Suddenly, a brilliant idea popped into his head. Yes, that’s it! That’s the one! Bliss immediately rushed to the cinema.
And a day later, when Ashley came to pick him up with Koi, he was staring at a screen for the 29th consecutive hour with bloodshot eyes.
“Well then, Papa, Daddy. I’ll be going now.”
Standing with the private jet behind him, Bliss gave a fairly mature farewell. Koi, who hugged him first, spoke affectionately.
“I’ll come visit you soon, Bliss.”
“You’re busy, so you don’t have to.”
Bliss gave a bright smile, let go of Koi, and hugged Ashley this time. After giving a firm squeeze and releasing his arms, he waved alternately to Papa and Daddy before walking toward the private jet. He had to watch the videos inside the plane too. Because he was drastically short on time to finish that list by the time of the interview.
Watching Bliss hurriedly climb the stairs and disappear into the private jet, Koi let out a sigh.
“Look at him pretending to be strong even though he probably doesn’t want to leave.”
Ashley muttered indifferently, his hands shoved into his trouser pockets.
“It can’t be helped. Let’s just visit often instead. And keep in touch.”
Koi nodded and waved a hand toward the plane. Although he had said his goodbyes maturely, the son seemed quite heartbroken; he didn’t even look out the window and kept his head hanging low.
