Hiding That The Damn Prince Is An Omega

Vol-4: Chapter 23.2

It was the empress who actually took action, but since it happened in Estella Palace, where the prince resided, he took all the notoriety. Thanks to this, the prince naturally became an object of fear.

“It's the backbone of the army, but this is definitely the imperial palace. If you value your life, shouldn’t you refrain from making fun of your mouth?”

“Your highness, I’m sorry. I have committed a mortal sin!”

Thump thump!

The man smacked his forehead on the floor and apologized. So was the person next to him. Étienne opened his mouth as he watched the white marble turn red.

"It's not to die for."

The courtiers trembled at the voice without any emotion. Actually, Etienne wasn't too upset. He didn't really care what people said about him in the first place. But now things were different.
If you listen to these things and do nothing, they will rather gossip. Above all, if the empress found out, she couldn't let them go.

People who had already noticed the commotion were snooping down the hallway one by one. It was clear that it would reach the empress's ears in just a few hours.

“It’s bothering me…....”

Etienne, who quickly grasped the situation, murmured as if in trouble. He only came to return the cardigan, but things went wrong. After thinking for a while, he made the decision.

“I will not punish you.”

“Huh, is it true?”

“But I can’t just get over it. Pack your bags right away and leave.”

"Yes?"

The courtiers' faces, which had turned bright at Etienne's words, became contemplative again. Étienne slowly leaned his body towards the two dark-skinned men. Then he whispered.

“Even if I forgive you, mother will not. If you don't want to die, get out of the palace right now. Either leave the capital at all."

“Eek!”

At Etienne's whisper, the courtiers held their breath at the same time. After his words, Etienne straightened his back again. At that moment, a loud voice came from the end of the hallway.

“Hey, what’s going on? Why are you making such a fuss?”

It was Richard's adjutant who appeared at the end of the corridor. He seemed to have come out of the office feeling a commotion.

“In front of His Highness the Grand Duke’s office…...huh?"

The adjutant, who had been approaching her irritatedly, spotted Étienne and stood tall. He rubbed his eyes with his hands, as if he couldn't believe what he saw, and gasped.

“Great, Your Highness the Grand Duke! His Highness the Prince.......!”

Before the bewildered adjutant could finish his words, the door burst open. Then, Richard, who opened his eyes wide, appeared.

"Older brother?"

Richard called out to Etienne in a dazed voice. He had an uncharacteristically torn face.

All in all.

Étienne gave him a troubled look when Richard showed up before the situation was sorted out. On the contrary, the faces of the courtiers who were prostrate on the floor brightened.

“Great, Your Highness the Grand Duke!”

"Hmm?"

“Please save me, Your Highness!”
