Hiding That The Damn Prince Is An Omega

Vol-4: Chapter 24.2

"Your highness. Are you sleeping?"

Étienne opened his eyes, unable to ignore Ben's voice calling him. He reached out his hand and lightly tugged at the string. He was allowed to come in.

"Excuse me."

As soon as he pulled the rope, Ben came inside. There was a troubled light on his face.

"What's the matter?"

"Well, Archduke Eckhart has come to visit again."

"Richard?"

"Yes. It's fine even if it's just for a moment, so he says he really wants to see you today. Even if he died, he had to and so I took him to the reception room first......."

Ben looked into Etienne's eyes and slurred his words. Richard had been visiting him every day since Etienne was bedridden. However, he failed to meet Etienne and had to turn his steps over and over again.

Although Étienne's condition was not good enough to receive his visit, his biggest reason was that Étienne refused to see Richard.

Faithful Ben has sent Richard back at his will in the past few days. But today it couldn't be. It was because, unlike usual, Richard's momentum was unusual.

'I'm sorry, Your Highness. His Highness the Prince has just gone to bed.'

A little while ago, when Ben put the words of refusal on his lips, he didn't back down saying he knew it like yesterday, but hardened his expression.

'Are you saying it's not possible today?'

'I'm sorry.'

Ben swallowed dryly, feeling Richard's voice lower than usual. Richard looked at Ben, who bowed his head with a smile on his face, then opened his mouth slowly.

'Can't I just go in and look at his face for a while?'

'That... ... .'

'It's already been five days. I can't worry about it like this. I'll just go and see his sleeping face.'

Richard was tough. After being rejected for five days, it seemed that his patience had reached its limit. Ben, who hadn't expected him to be stubborn like this, was a little taken aback.

'Even if you say that, I cannot bring Your Highness into the bedroom on my own. It's against the law........'

'Just a moment. It's because I think my older brother caught a cold.'

'How could that be the fault of His Highness the Grand Duke? His Highness, the prince's fever has now lowered and is getting better. Don't worry too much.'

'Then I'll wait until my older brother wakes up.'

'Yes?'

'Why? Is there a problem?'

Richard stared crookedly at Ben, his eyes wide open, and crossed his arms. He had an attitude that he would not give up easily.

'I'll wait quietly, so when my brother wakes up, tell me. If I don't get permission at that time, I'll go back then.'

'.......All right. I'll take you to the reception room for now.'

Pushed by Richard's momentum, Ben eventually led him to the reception room. No matter how much it was, he couldn't make the grand duke of a country stand in the hallway.

"What should I do?"

"Hmm........"

At Ben's question, Etienne sighed slightly.
Now he was weak both physically and mentally. On that day, he realized what emotions he was feeling, but he could not regain his composure. With his heart still unsettled, he wondered if it would be all right to see Richard.

He said, "It'll be fine with just a brief date."

He pondered for a moment before Étienne made up his mind. Ben asked in a surprised face if the decision he had made was surprising.

"Are you going to meet him?"

"I know that guy's stubbornness. Even if he says I won't meet, he'll keep waiting until I agree."

He said in a tone that convinced Etienne. He stumbled and got himself up. In this state he could not go to see Richard.

"I need to wipe myself with a wet towel. Put some eye drops on it too."

"I will prepare right away."

Étienne rose from his seat and frowned as he smelled the scent that was spreading throughout the bedroom. Perhaps it was because he suffered so much that he couldn't come to his senses, his room was full of my own Pheromones.

What if Richard came in here? Perhaps he would find out he was an omega right away. The thought of his dizzy eyes, so Étienne hurriedly captured his pheromones.

However, his noticeably weakened body made it difficult for him to fully control his pheromones. Étienne, who raised his wrist to see where he was, hurriedly called her Ben.

"Ben!"

"Yes, Your Highness. Why are you like that?"

"Bring the pheromone cologne you used last time."

"Perfume? Ah! All right."

Realizing why Etienne was looking for the perfume, Ben ran towards the dressing room with one face. Knowing that pheromone control doesn't work well when he's sick, he hadn't thought about packing perfume until Etienne told him.

"Such an idiot."

Ben took the cologne as he slapped and slapped his forehead. At times like this, he regretted that he was a beta who couldn't feel pheromones.
