Hiding That The Damn Prince Is An Omega

Vol-3: Chapter 19

Tok, tok.

Long fingers tapped regularly on the window frame of the carriage.

Why did you do that from before?

Alvin, who was sitting across from him, took his eyes off the papers and looked at Richard, lost in his thoughts.

“What are you thinking?”

"Hmm?"

“I was wondering if you had any concerns. You couldn’t concentrate even at the cabinet meeting today.”

At Alvin's voice, Richard, who had escaped from his thoughts, let out a smile. He put his hand on the window frame and leaned against the soft leather.

"Well.....”

Richard lowered his eyes as he trailed off his words. Deep in his thoughts again, he slowly parted his lips.

“Alvin.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“Does Beta have a body scent?”

“…....yes?"

As if he heard Alvin ask a nonsensical question, he put on a puzzled expression.

"If you're talking about body odor, as long as you're a human, you've got all of them, whether it's an alpha, an omega, or a beta."

“Body odor, not body odor. So, um, I was asking if anyone was born with an alpha or omega scent.”

"Aha. Hmm, well. It's like an alpha or omega scent.........There are people with a fragrant body odor, but if it's a beta with a pheromone scent....... It doesn't exist. As far as I know."

"Really?"

"Yes. If you search the empire, there might be one such beta, but the odds are slim. If there was such a person, rumors would have already spread.”

"Right."

Richard nodded his head as if he knew. Then he muttered with a small sigh.

“…....Is it an illusion too?”

Mistaken?

Hearing Richard's murmur, Alvin narrowed his brows. He didn't know exactly what was going on, but from the questions and responses he asked himself, it seemed that he sensed a scent like alpha or omega pheromone from some beta.

“Maybe the beta wore perfume.”

"Perfume?"

Richard showed interest in Alvin's cautious words.

“There are pheromone perfumes that are trending among betas. Are they made by alchemists who studied alpha and omega scents? It’s incredibly expensive, but it’s popular because when you spray it with perfume, it has the effect of making you look like an alpha and an omega.”

“Is there such a thing?”

"Yes. It started to become popular about 10 years ago, and now a lot of people use it. There are probably twenty pheromone perfume shops in the capital alone. There are also different types of incense that each store handles.”

After his explanation, Alvin put his thoughts into his mouth as he summarized his words one last time.

"So, if you sensed an alpha or omega scent from a beta, it's likely a pheromone perfume?"

“It’s a pheromone perfume…....Come to think of it, I remember hearing that there was such a perfume when I was young.”

“It really became popular 10 years ago, but the product itself has been around for a long time.”

“Tsk.”

Richard clicked his tongue as if he didn't like something in this. As Elvin said, the scent of Etienne he felt yesterday was most likely perfume.

But why do I feel disappointed?

Richard squeezed his fist into his sunken face and then opened it. The sensation of last night's moment of catching Étienne as he stumbled over the rocks was still vivid. He also smelled the faint scent of flowers that he felt at the moment when their bodies were in close contact with each other.

He remembered the scent that strangely stimulated his instincts and shook his head vigorously. He kept thinking nonsense.

It was probably the scent of flowers mixed in the passing wind, or, as Alvin said, pheromone perfume.

Richard closed his eyes, thinking he was mistaken. He needed to calm his overheated stomach a little......
