The Omega Princess and Her Two Leashes - Chapter 68

Schedule: Monday and Friday

Chapter 67

“Well, you’d normally be the first to embrace the kingdom’s… customs. Yet, you’ve been remarkably quiet.”

“Indeed. We haven’t seen you take a single Omega since we arrived.”

“I haven’t either. And it’s not like it’s a rare occurrence back in the Empire.”

“Come to think of it, you’re right. Your Highness, have you perhaps… not touched a single Omega in the kingdom?”

“Maybe they’re not to your taste?”

“Surely not.”

Surely not, indeed. Leybid was, in fact, deeply immersed in the kingdom’s culture, currently enjoying the company of the kingdom’s highest, noblest, and most desirable Omega—an Omega perfectly suited to his tastes. But instead of answering, Leybid simply smiled, prompting more whispers among the envoy.

“See? He’s definitely acting strange.”

“Well, he might be falling in love. True love, I mean.”

“Pfft, now that’s the kind of nonsense I hear every holiday.”

For a brief moment, Leybid’s face stiffened, but then he let out a hollow laugh. True love? That was something for foolish Alphas to chase after. A word that had nothing to do with him, not now, not ever.

Still, he had to admit something he hadn’t fully realized until now: since arriving here, he hadn’t laid a hand on any other Omegas. For some reason, lately, he hadn’t even felt the urge to be with anyone other than Arlenrose.

Even when Crown Prince Enrique brought in that Omega named Violet, it was the same. An Omega carrying the child of the Crown Prince? By the empire’s customs, that practically made her the Crown Princess. The fact that someone like that was offered for his entertainment was… provocative, to say the least. Violet, with her downcast gaze and sorrowful expression, was attractive enough, even in her humiliation.

Yet, not an ounce of desire stirred in him. At first, he assumed it was because he was too caught up in the anticipation of his soon-to-be union with the Princess of Fleurose. But since then, no other Omega had caught his eye either.

Well, Arlenrose of Fleurose was an exceptionally rare Omega, after all. There was only one like her in the whole world. If he had any energy to spare on other Omegas, wouldn’t it be more logical to spend it on her instead?

“You’re wrong, though. Just because people don’t know doesn’t mean I’m not fully enjoying myself in ways no one can see. Trust me, I’m making the most of this kingdom’s culture,” Leybid said with a sly grin.

“Ah, of course.”

At his cheeky remark, the envoys burst into laughter.

“That said, it’s true the culture of the Kingdom of Fleurose is somewhat primitive and debauched. But, as an Alpha, I can’t deny there’s something enviable about it.”

“Honestly, I agree. Being able to have an Omega at your disposal without all the hassle of formalities? It’s perfect, isn’t it? I swear, this place is an Alpha’s paradise.”

“Forget brothels. From now on, we should just come here. The quality of the Omegas is way better, and it doesn’t even cost a thing. It’s the best deal.”

“You wish. We’re only getting this treatment because we’re here as part of the delegation. Once the peace treaty is signed, do you think you’ll be able to waltz in here like this? The Kingdom of Fleurose is notoriously closed off.”

“Still, it feels like such a waste. If only we had conquered them, all the Omegas here could’ve been ours.”

Someone clicked their tongue in disappointment, and the others nodded in agreement. In a place where even the rights of their own Omegas were disregarded, it was laughable to think they’d treat foreign Omegas with any respect. These men, who had once treated prisoners of war like property, were now lamenting the fact they couldn’t possess what they saw as more desirable goods.

“But it’s too soon to give up just yet, isn’t it? We still have a chance.”

At that, the eyes of the delegation gleamed with a wicked glint.

It wasn’t just the royal palace of Fleurose that had a hidden side to it. The peace negotiations between Luversiana and the Kingdom of Fleurose were also far from what they appeared on the surface.
