I wrapped my arms tightly around the Crown Prince’s neck with my limp, seaweed-like arms, and ensnared his ear with a fragile voice that seemed like it would break. I told him how much my parents had longed for him, knowing how long they had yearned for him, but that in one corner of my heart, I was afraid of losing my family’s love forever, of losing the position I had built up until now. I was trying to be even better because even thinking about such things made me feel guilty, but every time I met Allen’s eyes, which were innocently looking at me without knowing such dark intentions, I was tormented as if I had become the most shameless person in the world.
“But earlier, when Andrew was taking me home, he said……. Even if I’m smiling like I mean it, it all shows, how much I’m pushing myself……. How much I’m paying attention to the gazes around me…….”
The Crown Prince’s grip on my body tightens. The hand patting my back seems to become a little rough.
“When I heard that, suddenly…, tears started flowing before I could do anything…….”
“Noah.”
“Hic, sob, hngh……. I’m really a bad person. The fact that I, who was just an illegitimate child from a collateral line, was able to stay by Your Highness’s side like this, it’s all just because I was lucky enough to borrow his things for a while……. I’m just so anxious that the original owner has returned.”
“No. Why are you thinking like that? The reason you came to my side wasn’t because you were the young master of Count Hamilton’s family. It’s because you, you…….”
The Crown Prince stopped talking for a moment, probably because he couldn’t bring himself to say that it was because I cried so well that it appealed to his taste, and hugged me tightly. I pretended not to know and asked back, “Me?”
“……Wasn’t it because you were a Dominant Omega.”
The excuse is good, even though Allen was never a Dominant Omega and he still kept him around so well. There’s nothing I can do since I can’t blame the past Iteration that he doesn’t even remember. Anyway, the Crown Prince seemed to have somewhat dispelled his suspicion about me suddenly showing such a strange appearance with Andrew.
…It was a little different in this Iteration, but if it had been the original, I would have liked to make Andrew, who was always eager to torment me, suffer under the Crown Prince’s blind rage. Why am I so eager to safely smuggle him out from under the Crown Prince’s suspicion? I didn’t want to delve into the reason in detail right now. The Crown Prince right in front of me wasn’t an easy opponent that I could afford to deal with while thinking about other things in my head.
“What were you so worried about, like a fool. Even if that youngest son of Hamilton who came back is treated preciously in his family, how can he dare to compare to the future Crown Princess? Even if the Count and Countess suddenly change their attitude and kick you out because their own child has returned, what’s there to worry about? It’s just that the time for you to enter the Imperial Palace will be sooner.”
“…But, what if Allen also becomes a Dominant Omega? Your Highness, no, Adrian, is all I have…….”
My terrified voice was so faint that it seemed like it would disappear at any moment. The Crown Prince didn’t meet my eyes and just wandered around the space between him and me with his eyes for a while, but soon regained his usual composure and smiled softly, stroking my hair. As expected, he liked it more and more as I acted dull and like a fool trapped in his hands.
“Oh my. My consort is more of a scaredy-cat than I thought. What are you worrying about that makes no sense?”
“But, but we still don’t know……. How lovely that child, who even looks surprisingly like me, is, how easily he steals people’s hearts.”
“Ha, so. Are you saying that I’m going to turn away from you and go to him instead. Now?”
Even if I replied that if I didn’t take action in advance, that’s probably what would happen, the Crown Prince wouldn’t believe it now. There was no rational reason that he could understand either. So, I just decided to insist. Anyway, the method of postponing the meeting between Allen and the Crown Prince in any way possible was something I had been constantly thinking about since before. Since he didn’t have any interest in my intellectual side, insisting was a very simple and effective method.
“I don’t know, I’m anxious. What can I do if I’m so anxious? That’s why I’ve been rejecting all the offers to come see me at the mansion, but Your Highness doesn’t even know how I feel…….”
Since passing the most recent heat cycle with Suppressants, the Crown Prince had subtly conveyed his intention to visit the mansion a few times through the workers Mr. Seymour hired or his people planted inside the mansion. Every time, I would say that he was still busy and that it was okay, and that he should come during the next cycle, and I would always refuse. Perhaps the reason he reacted so sharply to seeing Andrew and me was because of the accumulated rejections.
“What. Was it just because of that? And here I was wondering what…….”
As I snuggled into his arms and rubbed my head against him as if I was whining, the Crown Prince muttered in a satisfied voice that even sounded pleased, and hugged me tighter.
“Are you disappointed? Do you think I’m such a timid and insignificant person that I’m not good enough to be your consort?”
“I would say that you’re not good enough to be the Empress of a country……. But very honestly, I don’t dislike seeing you crying because you’re anxious about me. No……. I like it very much.”
The elegant corners of his lips curved up into a smile. The lips that expressed such satisfaction were pressed down on the top of my head like a stamp, and then gradually became stickier and moved down little by little. When the sound of a kiss wetly touched my ear, my lower back instinctively trembled. Familiar pheromones began to envelop my whole body like a fog. No matter what anyone said, his pheromones, which were the first and most often to arouse sexual tension and thrilling sensations in my body, made me pant steadily. The corners of my eyes, where the tears had been drying, became moist again.
“Your Highness……, hngh, no, later, my mother and father are…!”
“Haha. You’re more innocent than I thought. You came all the way to my palace at this late hour, did you think you could go back?”
“Hngh, hngh!”
“You’ve made me starve for too long, you.”
Thinking about going back is a luxury. With those last words, my ear was painfully bitten. Everything around me was hot.
My forcibly opened thighs trembled. Every time the Crown Prince’s rough fingers strongly massaged the tender flesh inside my thighs, leaving handprints, my back kept trembling and my shoulders collapsed downwards.
“Tsk, you should know how to maintain your dignity. I’m going to teach you etiquette myself.”
“Hngh, too much, hngh, hngh.”
He left behind the outrageous nonsense that he was going to teach me himself, saying that I was just cute and pretty in his eyes, but that if I wanted to become a member of the Imperial Family, I had to be able to maintain my composure in any situation, and then he stripped me naked inside his bedchamber. And it wasn’t a bed, it wasn’t a sofa…, he plopped my body down on a very small tea table that looked like I would fall over with my legs if I moved even a little. It was his demand that I spread my legs wide and hold onto the outside of my thighs myself.
He said that if I could last an hour without falling, he would do whatever I asked, and that he wouldn’t come near the mansion or meet Allen separately for the time being.
“Ahem. Who are you glaring at like that now?”
I had even had my silk stockings taken off, but he didn’t even undo a single button on his formal attire, which was tightly fastened up to his chin. The Crown Prince looked down at me with a voice that was full of dignity, as if he was really going to give me an etiquette lesson, and even shook his head. But for someone like that, the touch that was caressing the entrance of my wet hole was quite lewd.
“Ah, hngh, hngh, hngh, Your Highness, Adrian…!”
Every time I inhaled, the pheromones that paralyzed my reason accumulated in my lungs. Even without any stimulation, my genitals and perineum would already be wet, but I couldn’t control my body at all with the rough fingers that were playing so seductively as if they had made up their minds.
Every time two fingers were shoved inside at once, I would freeze without being able to breathe properly, and when those fingers messed up the inside, all I could do was tremble, giving and taking strength only in my stomach. There was nowhere to lean my back, so it felt like I would fall headfirst if I relaxed even a little. I wanted to struggle. I wanted to shake my shoulders as much as I wanted.
“Hngh, I was wrong, I was wrong about everything, hngh, Adrian, please…….”
Without having to use the skill, tears were already welling up on their own. I wished I could just go to the fluffy bed right in front of me.
“Come to think of it, isn’t this the first time you’ve accepted me like this… since you came back from the North? But it’s strange. Why does it seem like you’re eating it up so easily? Did you play around with another guy in the meantime?”
“You know very well that I wouldn’t…, why are you doing this. I hate it when you say such mean things, hngh, hngh.”
There were quite a few scenes that came to mind inside, but I was also good at pretending to be innocent while acting innocent. The Crown Prince’s face was filled with vile satisfaction at my voice, which was filled with injustice.
“I really can’t help it. Well, then come down and suck it nicely. Whether you can go to the bed or not depends on how hard you try.”
He’s crazy after all. I really didn’t know how he could talk about sucking his dick as if he was doing me a favor.
