The two of them sat side by side, calling out to the prince with teary voices, which was both funny and heartbreaking, so Belfry eventually spoke up.

“Hey, you don’t need to cry like that. His Highness Adrian won’t devour your prince.”

Marco sniffled with small, sob-like hiccups, while hanging on by complaining to Belfry.

“But I heard it comes with tremendous pain. That you can’t even get out of bed, that you have to suffer. Our prince has grown up delicately and is very sensitive to pain…”

Oh dear.

Leia rubbed her forehead, and Belfry chuckled.

Marco, although ignorant about heats and ruts as a Beta, was acquiring various knowledge since coming to Heineken.

Omega individuals with mates would take time off work during their heat cycles, and every time they appeared in a state of extreme discomfort, complaining of back pain or stomach pain, it bothered Marco.

From Marco’s standard, all Alphas other than the Crown Prince were insignificant.

Even though they spend their heat cycles with those Alphas, they seemed to be in so much pain.

“His Highness Adrian is as big as a mountain, isn’t he?”

Our prince is so delicate and small. 

What if His Highness Adrian loses control and crushes our prince?

“There’s not that big of a difference.”

Even though Prince Carl appears smaller in stature due to being lean for his age, it doesn’t mean he’ll become flattened when pressed.

“The knight said it feels like being poked by a fiery pillar, sob sob.”

Leaving Marco, who was burying his face in his palms and crying, behind, Belfry whispered to Leia.

“Don’t they teach sexual education in Lindbergh?”

“Even the prince’s education is like that. Do you think the servants care about sexual education?”

Leia spoke confidently, but she also blushed with embarrassment.

It wasn’t the content that was embarrassing, but rather the fact that she, as a princess from a country that couldn’t even provide proper sexual education, felt embarrassed.

“What will happen if that boy cries like that every time the prince’s heat cycle comes?”

“At that time, that child will also grow up, right? He’s still a boy.”

“Let’s set aside the boy, but why is that dog in such a state? If the heat cycle lasts longer, it won’t eat for a whole week.”

The prince’s dog, with its large and shaggy appearance resembling a wolf, was originally a very gentle dog.

However, during the two days when the prince was in heat, it acted aggressively and growled at anyone other than Leia who approached.

“…That child will also grow up. If it doesn’t eat willingly, we can force-feed it like before.”

“It seems that our Highness Adrian already has enemies.”

In response to Belfry’s words, which were almost like a sigh, Leia shrugged her shoulders.

The pheromones of the two people, which had been vibrating inside and outside, gradually subsided, so Leia, who had been somewhat tense, felt a little relieved.

“I’ve already informed Lindbergh that the prince is not feeling well, so we’ll have to postpone our departure for a few days.”

Belfry trailed off in his words.

Their reaction was inexplicable and perplexing.

Without asking how and where he was hurt, their response came back that they should arrive in Lindbergh together with the prince as soon as possible.

“What do you think?”

In response to Belfry’s question, Leia crossed her arms and slowly closed her eyes, then opened them.

“I suspect that Kitchener’s true intention is to make Carl his mate. I have my suspicions.”

That old man?

Belfry almost felt disgusted for a moment.

“It was just a hunch all along, but it seemed like he was trying to get rid of me to the border and seize the opportunity to ask for Carl at the right moment.”

As Carl grew older, the king became more and more addicted to something.

Like a marshmallow in the sun, both his thinking and speech slowed down, and he practically withdrew from politics altogether.

“Kitchener wants to become king, but he hates the current situation where he’s not a descendant of Lindbergh. But if Carl gives birth to his child, he can use that child as a stepping stone to become a true powerhouse.”

“Does that make sense? Kitchener is a beta, right? I’ve never heard of a beta impregnating a male omega.”

Belfry made a puzzled expression, thinking of a man who looked more cunning and much older than his father.

Leia chuckled.

“It’s fascinating to know that there are things about Lindbergh that you don’t know.”

What?

“Kitchener is a recessive alpha.”

His mind started racing. Lindbergh’s Chancellor is a recessive Alpha?

“Kitchener has as many as ten wives besides his legal wife. But he didn’t have any offspring with a trait.”

“So how much would he want Carl Lindbergh, the closest dominant Omega to him and even a member of the royal family?” Leia said.

“Can we even call him an Alpha?”

Belfry’s sarcastic remark made Leia amused, and she laughed out loud.

It was about her parents and the crisis of her country. Leia’s composure bothered Belfry.

Leia noticed Belfry looking at her with a strange gaze and stifled her laughter.

“All of those who have a trait in Lindbergh are on the path of decline. Is it only Kitchener? Even my father is the same.”

“We are well aware that he is a recessive Alpha, but the Queen…”

He just happened to meet the right Omega.

She was a foreigner.

They didn’t know where or how she was brought here, but when the queen first arrived in Lindbergh, she was perfectly laundered as a member of the Kitchener family.

So, Chancellor Kitchener is also Carl Lindbergh’s maternal uncle in a way.

“It was said that Mother originally had a body incapable of reproductive activity. It seems that Kitchener had hoped to completely sever ties with Lindbergh’s lineage, but suddenly, to think that two children with dominant traits would appear.”

“How dreadful.”

“Even my mother couldn’t give up her life as a noble and tried to impress Kitchener. And my father was gradually losing his sanity. When I was born as an alpha, Kitchener must have been desperate. If omega Carl hadn’t been born, Kitchener would have done whatever it took to kill me.”

Belfry thought he had seen enough of the dark side of the Lindbergh royal family, but the more he delved into it, the darker it became like a swamp. He could understand Prince Carl’s words, saying that it would be better for the Lindbergh dynasty to perish.

“Are you implying that he harbors such malicious feelings towards the prince who is younger than his own son? Is he even human?”

Now, even dealing with a foreign country’s chancellor has become so irritating that Belfry kept uttering curse words under his breath.

“Even if he’s just a chancellor, he’s already a prominent figure. Why would he want to become a king? What’s so great about it?”

Belfry grumbled, saying that it would just make his head hurt and he wouldn’t accept the position even if it were offered to him.

Leia had a fleeting thought that it would have been nice if this handsome young man were an omega.

Even if he wasn’t an omega, it wouldn’t be difficult to knock over1Y’all know what this means, right? a beta young man.

The princess felt her appetite aroused, and as she made eye contact with him with a smile on her face, Belfry, sensing an ominous feeling, quickly changed the subject.

“Anyway, if that’s true, shouldn’t the prince avoid going to Lindbergh?”

“Hmm, I wish that were the case. But he strongly desires it himself.”

It was said that unless he personally changes his mind, it may become a lingering regret for him.

Above all, it didn’t seem like a very dangerous situation, considering how the Crown Prince was quietly watching over the prince’s departure.

“Let’s ask him if he’s in a condition to go once he comes out.”

Because he wouldn’t want to be unnecessarily separated from the Crown Prince, especially considering that they have already embraced each other and done this and that, and the potential risks involved.

After all, it’s natural to be blind when it’s your first love.

Belfry, who had been seeing the situation from a slightly different perspective than Leia, slammed his fist into his palm.

“Well, if he gets pregnant, he shouldn’t ride a horse.”

At that moment, the door swung open, and the Crown Prince, with water dripping from his hair, walked out.

He had hastily put on clothes over his wet body, which made Belfry frown at the indecency.

“Don’t worry. We’re far from having a baby.”

“Did the prince throw a glass of water at you?”

Belfry asked, and the Crown Prince chuckled.

No matter how satisfying his laughter was, Leia felt her stomach twist unexpectedly.

“How persistent do you think I am for the prince to spill water on me?”

Belfry was the persistent one.

However, the crown prince waved his hand, saying, “He wouldn’t even have the strength to lift a water bowl. What are you talking about?”

“He’s completely exhausted?”

Such barbarism.

“Nothing happened that would make a baby be conceived.”

Then what were you doing cooped up for two days?

Anyway, Belfry expressed his frustration, saying that he really couldn’t understand those with a trait.

He couldn’t stand the sight of him sitting there, water dripping from his shirt, not bothering to wipe it off, giggling and laughing.

The Crown Prince told Marco, “You can go in,” and at that moment, Marco and Elizabeth swiftly entered the room.

Even the attendant, who kept watch, followed them inside.

Adrian, who had let Marco in, also gave Belfry a task.

“Send a messenger to Lindbergh right away and inform them that the prince and I will go together the day after tomorrow.”

“What?”

Belfry blurted out in response to Adrian’s sudden remark.

“What’s so strange about it? Since I ended up like this with Carl, we should get engaged as soon as possible.”

Both Leia and Belfry looked at the Crown Prince as if he were insane for wanting to maintain appearances, even though they would soon no longer be part of the Lindbergh royal family.

Kitchener would probably love that.

“What are you talking about? You haven’t even done anything that could lead to having a baby, so what kind of engagement are you talking about?”

Belfry raised his voice.

The Crown Prince, on the other hand, looked at Belfry as if he were the strange one.

“If such a thing didn’t happen, would all the time we spent together just disappear?”
