Hiding That The Damn Prince Is An Omega

Vol-5: Chapter 30.2

Étienne, who hadn't expected Richard to notice him so soon, asked, widening his eyes.

“How could I not recognize you?”

Richard replied in the tone of asking something obvious. It didn't matter to him that Étienne covered his face.
The pink lips visible under the hood, the round shoulder line, the pale white hands, and the elegant and upright posture were all Etienne. It's weird not knowing.

He was a bit long at first. When he saw him standing by the window, he thought it was Étienne, but he didn't dare to approach. After all, he hadn't thought that Etienne would come in person.

However, when he heard the voice awkwardly answering the butler's shouts, he was convinced. He seemed to be trying to change his voice in Etienne's way, but he couldn't hide his characteristic sweetness.

He said, “No, I wore a wig and borrowed clothes. I mean, no one else recognized it.”

“Brother’s face is not well known to people. I recognized you because I was used to it.”

"Really?."

Etienne muttered with a sour face.

For the past two days, I felt a little discouraged because I had prepared hard with Ben to come to the Grand Duke's residence unnoticed.

On the other hand, I was also happy.

The fact that Richard recognized him at a glance was subtly pleasing.

“Didn't I just disguise myself…....”

Étienne ran his hand through his brunette wig with a wistful look on his face. Richard's gaze also moved to the brown hair that fell down hiz shoulders.

“Brown hair suits you well too.”

Richard smiled lightly and moved hiz hand. He grabbed the ends of the fake hair and pulled it down lightly, and the wig slipped off.

He looked at Étienne, who had returned to his normal colour, and smiled contentedly. He's not bad with brown hair either, but he liked it better.

“Don’t take it off.”

Étienne, his soft golden hair exposed, reached out his hand as if to ask for his wig back. Richard lifted his wig high, avoiding his hand. Etienne then raised one eyebrow.

“Give it back.”

“Why don't you write to me, what if you get caught?”

“You only heard of it. I sneaked out, so I have to be careful.”

"Hmm?"

“It makes a lot of noise when other people know I’m here.”

“Oh, don’t worry about that..There are separate accommodations for employees, so only a few people live in the main building. No words will leak out.”

"Still…....”

“If it bothers you a lot, I will make sure that no one other than the butler comes near until my older brother passes away. Can I do that?”

"Okay."

Etienne hesitated for a moment, then relaxed. If Richard said that, he had no choice but to believe it.

Above all, the loyalty of the Eckhart family was famous even within the Empire. Not only his vassals, but also his servants were full of pride that they belonged to the Eckhart family. Maybe that's why it was closed to people outside the family.

Because of that peculiarity, neither the Duke of Herace nor the Empress could plant an informant in the Eckhart family. They tried a few times, but all ended in failure. Thinking about that made Richard's confidence understandable.
