The Omega Princess and Her Two Leashes - Chapter 25
Chapter 25
“What clues?”
Enrique cut off the question coldly.
“That’s not something you need to know. It’s top secret.”
“Yes. I cannot tell you yet, even though you are the princess. I apologize. I will tell you when the time comes.”
Enrique’s expression softened as Camin politely declined Arlenrose’s question. Feeling her pulse quicken, Arlenrose clenched her trembling fists.
What was he talking about? What kind of clues had she leaked? If it was something he called decisive, it wouldn’t be an ordinary clue, but if she couldn’t find out and come up with a plan…
Her mind was dizzy with the flood of thoughts. However, she couldn’t show her agitation here.
Arlenrose tried to catch her breath and looked up, and belatedly saw the person standing behind Enrique enter her field of vision. She was a beautiful woman with pale purple hair and eyes of the same color.
“Violet. It’s been a long time since you’ve been out.”
Her name was the same as her hair and eye color. Violet, who had kept her head bowed, not daring to meet the eyes of the royal family, bowed her waist and greeted her.
“Violet, a mere Omega, is honored to meet Arlenrose Vi Fleurose, Princess of Fleurose.”
“Good morning, Violet.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Arlenrose greeted her out of habit, not thinking it was a particularly good morning. Her gaze, which had been glancing at Violet, stopped at her stomach.
“…You’re very swollen.”
“Yes. It’s all thanks to the Crown Prince’s favor.”
Violet caressed her round stomach at Arlenrose’s words. Enrique looked at her with satisfaction.
“The child will be the first royal to be born in our generation. She shouldn’t be harmed, so I don’t usually let her out of her room.”
Violet was Enrique’s Omega mate and was currently pregnant with his child.
No matter how much an Alpha and an Omega had sex, they couldn’t get pregnant unless they were imprinted. That’s why Alphas chose a suitable Omega when the time came, imprinted on them to make them their mate, and had them give birth to their child.
Even when an Omega became an Alpha’s mate, their situation rarely improved. Pregnancy and childbirth were painful, but the treatment remained the same, and after giving birth to a child with difficulty, they were not recognized as a parent. So most Omegas considered becoming an Alpha’s mate a tragedy.
Among them, Violet was treated fairly well. Enrique, who was not very sexually demanding, did not engage in any unusual sexual acts with his Omega mate and only had regular, conventional sex.
After she became pregnant, he didn’t share her with other Alphas and kept her hidden in his room, saying that he had to protect the royal child in her womb. In his own way, he cherished her.
“But why did you bring her out today?”
“She might be needed to entertain the Crown Prince.”
So that was all it was.
“You know that Crown Prince Leybid is currently in the country in secret. We need to make sure he’s in a good mood before the peace treaty, so I’m not sure what kind of Omega we need to satisfy that notorious womanizer.”
“So you’re taking Violet with you.”
“Yes. Violet is a top-notch Omega, and…”
There are quite a few Alphas who get excited about Omegas who are carrying the children of other Alphas.
Enrique trailed off, but no one there was unaware of the truth.
Violet’s lips were tightly pursed and her complexion was slightly pale. The corners of Arlenrose’s lips, which had been smiling faintly, twisted slightly.
Enrique, who had been grumbling, also had an unpleasant expression on his face. Perhaps he would be secretly relieved if the Crown Prince rejected Violet.
However, if Violet satisfied the Crown Prince and helped secure a favorable peace treaty for the kingdom, he would be delighted. He would surely boast about this decision for the rest of his life.
As he had said, Enrique always tried to prioritize public affairs over personal feelings. In this case, this choice was what he considered a merit.
That was the nature of alphas’ sincerity. No matter how much Enrique genuinely cared for his mate, it wasn’t enough to overturn his position as an alpha and sacrifice the benefits he would gain.
That was why Arlenrose didn’t believe in the sincerity of alphas.
“I see. I wish you luck, Your Highness.”
Arlenrose turned away, her lips curving into a gentle smile instead of contempt. As they passed each other, Arlenrose’s and Violet’s gazes met briefly.
Violet’s tightly pursed lips parted and quickly formed a smile. The words were muffled, but Arlenrose understood it instantly.
Hair.
The clue that Camin Modreo had secured was hair.
