The Omega Princess and Her Two Leashes - Chapter 54
Chapter 54
He looked completely different from when he was by her side, wearing the neatly tailored blue knight’s uniform.
Starting with his hair, which was slicked back neatly, unlike usual. Thanks to that, his facial features were fully exposed, adding a wild charm to his usual calm temperament.
Small jewels were densely embedded on the smooth, sky-blue, high-quality dark green formal wear, sparkling like stars. Emeralds that resembled his pupils were attached to the chain that ran from his ears to his neck and the chain that ran from his fingers to his wrists, adding a green sparkle. The gold cape he wore over it was also gorgeous.
The scene was a testament to the meticulous attention to detail paid by the servants. His attire, usually understated, appeared even more magnificent against the backdrop of his usual simplicity.
Yet, it was not at all excessive. This was because the most unrealistically exaggerated feature of all was his facial features.
Camin Modreo of today was truly and utterly perfect in his beauty.
Leybid, noticing Arlenrose staring blankly, whispered to her.
“You danced with that man, didn’t you? How was it?”
Arlenrose, belatedly coming to her senses, glared at him and frowned slightly.
“Why are you curious about that?”
“Because even the princess wouldn’t be able to help herself when dancing intimately with that man.”
“So, why…”
“Why? He’s the object of your unrequited love, isn’t he?”
“…!”
How did he know?
How on earth did she get caught?
Arlenrose squeezed her eyes shut for a moment.
She should have denied it immediately, but it was too late for that. She should have looked away from him in the first place, but she couldn’t bring herself to tear her eyes away and ended up staring for too long.
Leybid, who had been closely observing her reaction, chuckled with amusement.
“Oh dear. Even the Glass Rose of the kingdom reveals her emotions when it comes to unrequited love.”
“….”
Arlenrose decided to simply keep her mouth shut. Denying it here would only be taken as confirmation. And if she were to confirm it, it would really become true, so there was nothing else she could say.
As Arlenrose silently and remorsefully remained silent, Leybid whispered in her ear, his lips brushing against it.
“By the way, that friend of yours. His expression when he glared at me was terrifying. Is it true that he doesn’t know you’re an omega?”
What nonsense is this?
Arlenrose, bewildered, unconsciously turned her gaze back to Camin Modreo to check his expression. But even when she looked again, he was standing there with the same calm, expressionless face as always.
“Your Majesty, you’re telling outrageous lies. Do you think he’s glaring at anyone?”
When Arlenrose asked in disbelief, Leybid looked back at Camin and became even more bewildered.
“No, why did he suddenly become so calm?”
“Your Majesty, I know you’re trying to corner him for your own amusement, but even so, you have to tell somewhat believable lies for them to stick.”
“No, I’m telling you, he was really scary just now!”
“Stop being stubborn. It’s nonsense to say that he’s glaring at anyone or making a scary expression. Camin is not someone who can make that kind of expression in the first place.”
“Wow, I’m… I’m so wronged…”
Leybid moved his arms as if he wanted to beat his chest out of sheer frustration.
As the song ended and Arlenrose let go of his hand, his freed hand quickly shot towards his chest like a magnet. Just as Leybid sighed and was about to pat his chest, Arlenrose’s foot firmly stomped on his instep.
“Ouch! What are you doing, the dance is over now!”
Leybid, hopping around in pain from his stomped instep, was met with a sly smile from Arlenrose.
“I never said I would only step on you while we were dancing.”
“That goes without saying, even if you don’t say it…!”
“It’s Your Majesty’s mistake for not being clear about the rules. Then, I shall take my leave.”
Regardless of whether Leybid was making a scene or not, Arlenrose bowed gracefully. It was only after she turned her back that Leybid belatedly came to his senses and reached out urgently.
“Wait, just one more song…”
Instead of turning around, Arlenrose waved her hand dismissively.
“I’m going to decline any further requests. If you really want to dance again, find another partner.”
“Are you telling me to dance with another alpha? How can you say that so disgustingly?”
“Hearing you say that makes me realize that the time I thought was meaningful, learning about each other’s cultural differences, was all in vain. I can’t be responsible for Your Majesty’s narrow-mindedness any longer, so if you really don’t like it, you can dance alone.”
“Ha…!”
Leybid burst into laughter as he watched Arlenrose’s retreating figure like a dog chasing a chicken. Then, he quickly left the place. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, another alpha would ask him to dance.
In the meantime, someone blocked Arlenrose’s path.
