FLBE Chapter 3 Part 11
by SYLPHShe glanced at Emma, her expression was still not good. She seemed firmly prickled by some needless obstinacy. She should have just worn whatever was given. Regret rushed over her like a tide. It made her feel this strange place even stranger. Even though it had only been a few days, she had relied quite a bit on Emma in that time.
Feeling so mentally exhausted, her mood plummeted even further. Forget the banquet or whatever, she just wanted to hole up in her room. An irritation flared up for a moment.
Why did the man, who had said all night that she was his and only his, create such a situation by unnecessarily holding a banquet like this, when he could just take her body whenever he needed it? She couldn’t understand why, after saying he wouldn’t allow anyone else to see her, would he reveal her to others. Anyway, he always chose to say things that didn’t match front and back.
“I really hate it.”
Muttering in a grinding tone, Liena flung the door open. Then, upon seeing the man confidently approaching her, she froze. Spotting Rhetrik, clad in black formal wear with a pure white fur cape draped over him, her lower body inexplicably twitched.
He had always been quite handsome, but today, his appearance was so stunning that it was hard to take her eyes off him. Seeing him brought memories of their heated time last night flickering through her mind.
Liena, seeing the man approaching as if in slow motion, stood there dazed, her thoughts seemingly frozen. Only when her chin was forcibly lifted by his hand did light seep into her blush-tinted eyes.
Blonde hair shimmered, holding sunlight within it. His dark eyes, which had ominously swirled throughout the night, openly revealed his lust as he smirked.
“What kind of expression is that?”
“Huh?”
“Lewd Omega.”
“!”
Who’s calling who lewd now? Liena snapped to her senses at the absurd words of the man. Seeing the face of the man who had upset her all through the preparation, sudden anger welled up inside her.
The culprit who shamed her in front of others. And yet, her mind was helplessly stolen away by his striking appearance, angering her. Not only her body, but her mind too seemed to have become one that of a foolish Omega.
Suddenly, the man leaning in took a deep breath. Then he grinned with a satisfied expression on his face. Even his inexplicable behavior couldn’t help but make Liena’s heart react, thudding in her chest.
“Why, what’s the matter?”
“Hm, not bad.”
“……”
Rhetrik, who had slathered his pheromones all over Liena’s body was quite pleased about it, so he smiled slyly at her barely perceptible scent. While it seemed pitiful that she couldn’t even sense what scent she was giving off, he thought it rather fortunate. Though he missed her sweet scent a bit, it was better to mask her pheromones today.
Sensing something off about the man’s expression, Liena hesitantly stepped back. It seemed like he might stir up trouble here, which made her anxious.
But oddly enough, the man who stayed quietly in place crossed his arms and glared at her sulkily. His expression became unintentionally serious this time.
He’s not going to tell me to change again, is he……?
The man, who had been looking at her for a while, raised one corner of his mouth in a smile and stepped closer. As he approached, she pulled back, but Rhetrik quickly grabbed her hand, pulling her into his arms. Suddenly embraced, Liena shivered under the gaze of the man bending down to look at her.
“I like it.”
“Huh? Really…?”
“Yes. There’s the fun of undressing something packed.”
“…”
Obviously.
Even though his voice sounded playful, his eyes were full of lust and gleamed ominously. His gaze was very dangerous as if he could pounce at any moment.
“With each layer I take off, your skin, whiter than this clothing, will be revealed.”
“…”
“Speaking of banquets, I’d like to take them off right here, right now, one by one. Isn’t the image stimulating enough?”
“Your Majesty!”
She shivered as the man spoke such brazen words and rubbed his body against hers. Something hard seemed to rub against her thigh. His increasingly sinister expression hinted that he might drag her into the bedroom at any moment.
That’s when Liena realized something. Regardless of what she wore, it all looked the same in Rhetrik’s eyes.
Whether dressed or undressed, she was nothing more than a lewd Omega in Rhetrik’s view.
Regardless, it seemed best to break up this strange atmosphere as quickly as possible. If he started releasing pheromones all of a sudden, it was obvious she would fall for him again, no questions asked. No, she would cling even more desperately because she was a lustful Omega.
“I’m hungry! Let’s go quickly.”
“If you’re hungry, eat something else. As an Omega, you should be desperate for an Alpha’s c*ck. Especially when it’s such a valuable one in front of you. Isn’t that too complacent?”
…Nasty b@stard.
She disliked the man who kept reminding her of her status, every time he spoke. The words of the arrogant, haughty man were like sharp daggers to her heart. As he grew closer, the strong scent of mint pricked her nose. Was he releasing pheromones again? Her head spun for a moment.
Realizing she was in a dangerous state, Liena quickly moved away from him and changed the subject.
“I’ll go first.”
“Where to? Ah, to the bed?”
“…”
“If you want, I can carry you. We could have fun undressing along the way.”
He seemed to be becoming more deranged as time went on. Certainly, he wasn’t like this in the book. The deceased female lead didn’t have any f*replay or messy conversations. He just mechanically thrust into the woman waiting n*ked for him, ej*culated as per his instincts, shook his hips until he was satisfied, and just left as is.
However, the Rhetrik she met in person was somehow different from the male lead in the novel. Of course, it was in a worse way.
“Just go for now. I’ll just show my face and come right away.”
“Huh?”
“I just have to make a brief appearance at the official banquet. The banquet for you is to be held with just the two of us tonight. Of course, in bed.”
“…”
As Rhetrik grabbed her wrist and strode away, Liena almost tripped as her skirt got caught under her foot. Even so, Rhetrik merely glanced at her and waited for a moment, picking up pace again as soon as she lifted her skirt.
She didn’t expect any courtesy from him, but she still felt resentful towards the man who only saw her as an object of venting his s*xual desires. The thought of being pressed by him and screaming all night made her throat sore.
She even wished that he would just satisfy his lust and disappear as he did with the previous saintess. Even if that would never happen, she vowed never to hold any expectations from his occasional smile.
If only, I was an Alpha…. and he was an Omega…. only then he could have known how miserable I feel now…. that…that would have been really nice.
