Hiding That The Damn Prince Is An Omega

Vol-4: Chapter 22

Took, took.

The imperial palace was immersed in darkness due to the rain that had fallen since dawn. Etienne listened to the raindrops hitting the window, and he looked at the cardigan folded neatly on the table.

“…......”

Standing at the door, Ben carefully examined Etienne. Perhaps because his room was dark, he couldn't see Etienne's expression very well. But he could see that he was in a bad mood. Yesterday, ever since the Emperor's visit, Etienne has been at low pressure. He tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.

Damn emperor.

Ben squeezed and opened his fists, swallowing a thick curse. Thinking about what happened yesterday, a fire still burns inside.

Ben couldn't understand the emperor how he could say such a thing as his father.

He must have been hurt.

Ben looked at his limp, drooping shoulders and put on a pitiful expression. He couldn't even imagine how much more hurt hisalready irritated stomach must have been.

“….....Ben.”

Finally Étienne broke the silence and opened his mouth. A soft voice flowed out from between his slightly open lips, as if submerged in rainwater.

“…....! Yes yes. Your highness."

Ben quickly answered Etienne's call. Étienne took his eyes off the cardigan and sluggishly rose from his seat.

“Get ready to go out.”

“Are you going out? Now?”

Ben's eyes widened at the unexpected words. He checked out the window where the rain was pouring down and asked in a worried voice.

“It’s a bad day…....Where are you going?”

“The military.”

Étienne answered briefly as he headed for the dressing room. Ben followed quickly behind him.

“Why is the military all of a sudden….....”

“I’m going to Richard.”

"Yes?"

Ben's eyes widened even more. Étienne looked at him in surprise and revealed his purpose of going to the military.

“I have to return the cardigan.”

"Ah."

Ben's gaze glanced at the table. The cardigan is an excuse, and they're probably going to talk about the emperor's visit. Ben easily guessed Etienne's intentions. But he couldn't pretend not to know.

“Your body….....”

"I am okay."

Étienne dismissed Ben's concerns and motioned for her to change into. He has no energy from not getting enough sleep, but his fever has gone down. He didn't mind going out for a while.

"Right. Prepare pheromone perfume.”

“Perfume?”

While waiting on clothes, Ben hesitated at the unexpected command. For him to voluntarily search for perfume, the sun would rise in the west.

“There are a lot of alphas in the military. Just in case, I should be careful.”

“Ah, yes. All right."

Etienne roughly explained the reason to the puzzled Ben. The real reason was because of Richard, but he couldn't bring it out of his mouth. If he said that Richard might have taken over his body, there would be an immediate uproar.

“Which scent should I use?”

“Evening primrose.”

Étienne suppressed the uneasiness of his sneaky raising of his head, and he chose a perfume that closely matched the scent of his pheromones. At any rate, if Richard really smelled his scent, he was going to insist that it was perfume.

“I will sprinkle it."

Ben sprayed perfume behind Etienne's ears and on his wrists. He lifted his wrist, smelled the scent, and held out the other hand to Ben.

“Sprinkle some more.”

“More here?”

"Hmmm. Even at the nape of the neck.”

It must be very strong.

Ben sprayed perfume on Etienne's wrists and the nape of his neck even as he put on a puzzled expression at his request. Then, the scent of flowers filled the dressing room.

“Take your pills. Eat in the wagon.”

"Yes."

Ben moved quickly, twitching at the scent tickling his nose. He had a lot to prepare for on one outing.
