“The physician said that, at this level, I might as well be a Beta.” “What about heat?” “Pardon?” “Have you ever gone into heat?” What Khalid meant by “heat” was the heat cycle—a period of estrus that Omegas experienced at regular intervals. During heat, an Omega’s chances of conception increased, and their pheromones grew more intense, luring Alphas. Since an Omega’s scent could attract Alphas regardless of blood relation, those without partners typically took…-

Yudit wasn’t sure how he ran, but after climbing to the second floor of the adjacent building, he stuck his head out carefully and peered toward the banquet hall. Fortunately, the curtains were still drawn back. Squinting his eyes, Yudit’s lips parted in surprise. “Oh my…” Reginald had created a completely different space from the outside world. The walls were lined with tapestries, arranged according to color, the very ones Yudit had wanted to borrow. Armor, spears, swords, and other…

“We greet His Highness the prince.” They bowed their heads to Yudit, in accordance with the etiquette of the Adanauer Empire. The man who had arrived late glanced up at Yudit while still bowing. Seeing Yudit rubbing his neck, the man slapped the back of Huyan’s head with his palm. “I am truly sorry. I have no idea what this madman has done. I sincerely apologize, Your Highness.” It was a grave offense to threaten a prince with a sword, one deserving of execution. But that would only be…

Today, Yudit hid in the building across, but instead of peeking through the curtains, he made a hole in them. The people on Herut’s side also spotted him. Not long after the banquet began, the windows and curtains of the banquet hall opened. It seemed as if they knew someone was on this side, as they looked over directly. Their identities were Huyan and Wadiram. Wadiram winked at Yudit. It was clear that he had made a deliberate gesture to allow him to observe openly. When a servant tried to close the…

“Ah, speaking of which, Your Highness, how are you so good at speaking Herut? Other princes can’t do it.” “I have a friend from Herut. Actually, I wasn’t very good at it, but recently, I’ve learned a lot from that friend.” “Aha, I guess that friend is from the East.” “I’m not sure where they lived.” “It’s probably the East. There’s a bit of an Eastern accent mixed in,” Wadiram said confidently. It seemed like it was probably true, considering his…

“Why? You could just do something else. Do you have to become emperor?” “Even if they don’t become emperor, they still have a claim to the throne. You never know when a rebellion might break out, so they cut off the threat in advance.” “Will Your Highness become emperor?” Wadiram asked in a worried voice. “Hmm… I want to.” But the chances were slim. If he didn’t place in the top two of this competition, he would lose his head. As Wadiram stared intently at Yudit, he…

“Your Grace, Duke Khalid.” At Yudit’s slight bow, Khalid greeted him in turn. “It is a pleasure, Your Highness.” With a leisurely gaze, he swept his eyes over the banquet hall. After taking in the entire scene, he leaned in slightly and murmured to Yudit, “You’ve worked hard.” It was a short remark, but it carried a recognition of all Yudit had endured, making him inhale sharply. With a glance, he signaled an attendant to guide Khalid to his seat. Sonia had prior…

“Welcome, Sonia.” “I’m sorry I’m late, Your Highness.” “I’m just grateful you came at all. This way, I’ll show you to your seat.” Yudit led Sonia to her seat. She was placed at the same table as Yasin, and by coincidence, the seat next to Sonia was occupied by Wadiram. Wadiram gazed at Sonia with a look of rapture. “Hello, I’m Sonia.” “Nice to, meet you.” People eagerly took turns greeting Sonia. Although she was a commoner, she was a dominant Omega and the…

No matter how things had turned out, it seemed difficult for Sonia to sing at Yudit’s banquet. Yudit had no intention of pressuring her just because she had promised. Just attending had already made Sonia a potential target. Yudit wished that Sonia would choose her own safety, even if it meant selling him out. “Brother.” Just then, someone called out to Yudit. Unlike others, the voice came from below. When he looked down, he saw Azil looking up at him. “Father isn’t feeling well, so…

Yudit, who had escorted Isiah back to her seat, also sat down. The guests were eating and chatting about the performance. Isiah, who had been silently gazing at the dessert, finally spoke. “Thank you for giving me this opportunity.” “I should be the one thanking you. Thanks to you, I was able to get through a difficult moment. It was truly… a beautiful song.” Isiah took a spoonful, then set the spoon back down. “The days will grow colder soon. You shouldn’t visit the gravesite at…
