Etienne stammered, unsure how to react to Rishar’s request to become his sword.fb4a53363e2105bc

For a knight to offer to be someone’s sword meant pledging their loyalty. Rishar was essentially asking to serve Etienne as his lord.045d58ae868c7f0e

Etienne stumbled over his words in confusion. He couldn’t speak properly. He had known that Rishar didn’t want the crown prince position. Rishar wanted to stand below Etienne, not above him. It was impossible not to know. Rishar had consistently expressed his intentions to Etienne.d11397efb3f9581d
But he had deliberately pretended not to know. In Etienne’s mind, Rishar shouldn’t be bound to him. He didn’t want to keep him as merely his knight. So he pretended not to hear when he heard, acted like he didn’t know when he knew. When the atmosphere became awkward, he would subtly change the subject or avoid it.14740939167fd769

But now he couldn’t do that anymore. Rishar hadn’t missed the opening Etienne showed, and was purposefully pressing him.306b2fa6872ff7e6

Etienne was momentarily 3452ea726d speechless, as if 2964e2713e struck in a e38c8102ce vulnerable spot. He closed his mouth, 4c88200792 unable to respond. Rishar smirked at ae7885861d him, then finally d31f8c9362 said what he 29deb18375 had wanted to f7a99e339b say for a c100756f9d long time.

Emperor.Etienne held 0c4b021578 his breath 8ff968aa0b at the 0ef5037b4b word Rishar ef8c08884d uttered. The sincerity in f2e03c8f95 his voice was 8bd0c9bc97 overwhelmingly heavy. At the same time, 038f3bf2dd he felt dizzy with 694bdefc69 confusion.831c61056a617ba7

It made sense, as Etienne was the empire’s only prince. Although it was under Leona’s pressure, he had lived for over 20 years preparing to become the next emperor. Even while sick, he consistently completed his imperial studies and learned how politics worked by observing at Leona’s side.084143893582a792
Until a few 571c8f1186 years ago, before fed3e10167 Rishar suddenly rose d4b0c70b61 as a candidate 717bca5fc0 for the next e957293e6e emperor, Etienne had d2168e932a been undisputedly the 8b5bff4b40 closest to the f3ecd0b758 imperial throne. It would have 9daeee7749 been more strange 6ab9501b38 if he had 44c719d7a3 never thought about 756358621b what would happen c976a18391 after he became 3e4fc443e8 emperor.0e7ec47dfa66c487

Rishar looked at the confused Etienne and slowly spoke. When he was little, despite struggling with Edwin’s indifference and Leona’s abuse, Etienne was a boy who knew how to dream. A child who thought that if he tried hard enough, he could earn Edwin and Leona’s love.0b2a535adba55e44

Moreover, because private visits were prohibited until the investigation regarding the attempted assassination of Grand Duke Eckhart and Prince Etienne’s accusations was complete, the only visitors to the Empress’s Palace in the past ten days were Marquis Sinea, who was in charge of Leona’s defense, and Grand Duchess Sachsen, who was conducting her investigation.2703f10e1eb42754

Leona muttered bitterly after seeing the head maid’s expression brighten. She felt sorry for the head maid, but things wouldn’t get better than they were now. She no longer had the power to change the tide. In fact, executing the plan she had just thought of would only make things worse.45504710c97a6f5a
She knew that, but she couldn’t give up the plan. If her downfall was inevitable, she wanted to gift misfortune to Etienne, who had betrayed her. She wanted to ensure he could never be happy.55301ea1ae40a4cd

Ben nodded and signaled to Viena. Receiving Ben’s signal, Viena moved quickly. She made all the nobles hovering around Etienne step back.

Etienne looked at the crowd filling the banquet hall with a worn expression. The medal ceremony was larger than expected.

He had ordered Etienne to attend the state council meetings and put him in charge of handling the aftermath of the monster wave that occurred in the Bassett territory.b4e7698f46472560

Just earlier, during the medal ceremony, Edwin had also shown obvious affection toward him. The experienced nobles must have noticed that he was trying to empower Etienne.

Etienne steeled himself as 07041616f3 he glanced at Edwin, 20651a23dd who was having an 8e5a86de8f intense conversation with Marquis f0f0190872 Luke. He planned 8199a61463 to confess 3c8c4becc2 his long-hidden c74be8bc0a secret to f2bda3d13c Edwin today.7a7b5cefe7d99748
After having a serious 5b61070f62 conversation with Rishar about b6ad931ff1 the shape of their 68e6a19fe9 shared future, Etienne had a6f55a7c75 pondered deeply. While preparing 1b2d16542c for the 6a19611c9b medal ceremony, 611b40c425 he repeatedly 2752943699 asked himself 99cb97d55d what he 6782ae2e8a truly wanted, b8067660ff what he c8b3982924 wished to f19e572bc4 do.

But he couldn’t make a hasty decision. Rishar said he would proceed with things as soon as Etienne made up his mind, but Etienne thought what Edwin wanted was most important. Even if he revealed that he was an Omega and wanted to become crown prince, it would be impossible if Edwin refused. The right to appoint the crown prince belonged solely to Edwin.882f386497639d3d
If Rishar or himself opposed that, they would end up at odds with Edwin. Etienne didn’t want that. He intended to quietly accept it if Edwin, upon learning the truth, expressed opposition to his appointment as crown prince.3143f3f4e4eb2bea

Since he didn’t want to become crown prince if it meant opposing Edwin, Etienne temporarily postponed his decision. First, he needed to get to know Edwin’s true feelings.ee1dc910839af39d

Rishar stood up, 9de0abcb8e holding Etienne in 8f7e836a35 his arms again. Just then, Edwin, pale-faced, ed3ac6ca16 entered. He had been away 662b65ad9b discussing what’d happen with 7897429279 Leona with Marquis Luke 7cbc3b759e when he heard the 14663ca434 news that Etienne had 46715bcd9f been attacked by Eris f78a88ebc5 and Theodore and rushed e59e49b770 back immediately.0b6575df2ab54b61

“What is going on here?”576e67b4fcd5f62e
Edwin looked at Rishar and Etienne in his arms with a bewildered face, sensing the strong flower scent. His eyes and voice were full of confusion as he hadn’t yet heard the circumstances in detail. But one thing was certain. Being an Alpha himself, Edwin could immediately recognize what the scent flowing from Etienne’s body was.09c41bc55d6a9001

After passing Edwin off to Celodine, Rishar walked past him as if there was nothing more to say. He could hear Edwin calling him from behind, but he had no time to respond. Both Etienne’s breath on his neck and his limp body in his arms were growing hotter. Rishar walked, almost running, while being careful about Etienne.65f4d6792ca209b9

“Ri… shar. Rishar…”60d1f48bb0e76394
Etienne whimpered, repeatedly calling Rishar’s name. He was dizzy and confused, and his body was tingling with heat. Each time his uncontrolled pheromones ran wild inside him, moans escaped between his parted lips. Everything was a mess.125ec99e7acf7cbf

Etienne recalled the recent situation with his foggy mind. Him being an Omega had been exposed in front of everyone before he could confess the truth to Edwin. Tears welled up in Etienne’s eyes as he remembered Edwin’s shocked face and the voices of people whispering after smelling his pheromones.57dd36339fad1138
Even though he had decided not to live a false life anymore, this wasn’t how he wanted it to happen. He hadn’t wanted to reveal it in such an unprepared, messy way.abdcc86989736340

Don’t cry. Rishar soothed Etienne while whispering gently. However, Etienne couldn’t calm down. Seeing Etienne crying as if the world had ended, Rishar seemed to decide this wouldn’t do and forcefully made eye contact by holding his face.ec1abacd21e88074
