Chapter 9 - Childhood Sweetheart (IV)

Xi Wei’s initiative to help Klaire lift the luggage was actually well-intentioned. He remembered that Klaire was born with severe anemia, and often had nightmares. Mrs. Grace even admitted to Queen Anna a few times that she had a fear of losing her son. Although he was an alpha, Klaire’s strength wasn’t even on par with Xi Wei.

Besides, Xi Wei’s luggage was carried by Craig, so both of his hands were free. Therefore, when he saw Klaire having difficulty, he readily offered his help—after all, they grew up together. He could not just stand idly by as he witnessed the other boy moving as slow as a snail while climbing the stairs.

After he was done helping Klaire, Xi Wei turned to find his own dorm.

There were several buildings in the student dormitory area of St. Paul Academy. The room number written on Xi Wei’s student card was 7511, meaning the 7th building’s 5th floor: room number 11. The cold-faced Craig carried his luggage to the room’s door, and Xi Wei immediately followed him to open it with his student card.

As soon as they entered the room, they saw a pale-skinned, very beautiful child sitting on one of the beds, with a pillow held in his hands.

The child had short, chestnut-brown hair, and a pair of big, clear, light-colored eyes; they were so bright and appeared like gems under the light. When the child saw the military-uniformed Craig, he only looked at him briefly in curiosity, before continuing to arrange his quilt.

Xi Wei stepped forward, and took the initiative to greet him, “Hello, I’m your roommate… You are called Aiden, right? ”

The teacher at the administrative office had told Xi Wei before that he had an omega roommate called Aiden. It was a result of Queen Anna’s instruction for the school to arrange an omega to live together with Xi Wei. Anna would feel much more assured if Xi Wei had an omega roommate, and since it was his mother’s plan, Xi Wei also had no objection.

The only problem was, this omega seemed to be a little introverted. Xi Wei had taken the initiative to greet him, but he only smiled briefly at Xi Wei, before bowing his head and continuing to do his own thing.

The little boy’s smile was very shy, with two lovely little dimples on his cheek. However, his hands were clenched on his side, and he looked so tense and nervous.

Xi Wei could see that the other child was afraid; his eyes always avoided looking at Craig’s direction. Obviously, the tall-as-a-flagpole alpha standing in front of him made him uneasy—after all, there was a rumor that General Craig’s appearance would often cause omega children to cry. That was one of the reasons he remained a bachelor.

Looking at the situation, Xi Wei then turned back to face Craig and said. “General, you go first. Tell father and mother that I’m fine here.”

“Yes, Prince. “ Craig saluted to Xi Wei, then simply turned around and left.

Once he left, Aiden was relieved, and gave a friendly smile to Xi Wei, “Hello, you are the First Prince Xi Wei, right?”

“Yes.” Xi Wei looked at his pale face and felt a little concerned, “are you really so afraid of that person just now?”

Aiden nodded, and said honestly, “That Alpha is a bit fierce.”

Xi Wei laughed, “He is the captain of the Royal Guard, General Craig. His appearance does look very fierce, but his attitude is actually really good.” As he said this, Xi Wei suddenly realized something strange, “By the way, you’ve never met him, how do you know he’s an alpha?”
