CH 28

Translated by Lara

Edith was treated while reclining on a couch as comfortable as a bed.

In fact, she was willing to solve the anemia that often occurs. She answered the doctor’s questioning by glancing at Clyde, who was probably the main culprit in this condition.

After a while, Clyde intervened and asked.

“As you can see, Edith is a Beta. But to me, I keep seeing non-Beta characteristics.”

The doctor was the person she met when Clyde had a rut cycle. His grayish hair and straight impression remained in Edith’s memory. She was also happy to have the opportunity to receive treatment from the imperial physician.

“Which part does not seem to be a Beta?”

“Edith seemed to be affected by pheromones when I went through the rut. It definitely felt different.”

The doctor listened to the Crown Prince’s opinion. Edith was also suspicious.

She asked about Clyde’s actions.

“Your Highness, do you mean you have doubted my temperament from the beginning?”

“You have been staggering to the point where you couldn’t even control your body, so I can’t help but look at it.”

“Then it would have been better if you told me in the first place.”

“At the beginning, I was skeptical. There were times when I asked if it was because of your temperament, but at that time, Edith didn’t take it seriously.”

“But temperament doesn’t change once it’s decided. It would have been more reasonable to suspect anemia or a cold.”

“You said it has never been decided. You haven’t been tested as a Beta.”

“But I’m definitely a Beta.”

“Why were you so sure?”

Edith bit her lips and couldn’t respond anymore.

It was not appropriate to bring up about novel or characters. The reason she believed it was because of the original story, but she couldn’t reveal it in front of Clyde.

Besides, it wasn’t right to blame him for her physical condition that she couldn’t take care of herself. When she often gets dizzy, she should have gone to the doctor without thinking about saving money.

But she blamed Clyde for his bewitching appearance as an excuse.

At first, Edith attributed the dizzy feeling to that great face.

He was a little too good. It was perfectly normal to stare blankly while facing Clyde. It was the same for Edith as well as other servants. There were people all over the world who had their legs loosened in front of Clyde without being influenced by pheromones.

No one could score his face recklessly due to his status as the Crown Prince, but it was neck to neck if he was compared to Adrian.

He hugged her from behind and grabbed her with the gun, wouldn’t her leg loosen? How could she hold her sanity when he was making a fuss about his rut in the secret maze garden?

She cried out long excuses in addition to that, but Edith couldn’t say a word.

Instead, Clyde added an explanation to the doctor like a guardian.

“Edith has never been diagnosed as a Beta. She just said she is a Beta because the pheromones didn’t come out when she became adult. That’s true. Is there such a case?”

The doctor answered carefully after much consideration.

“Hmm, it’s very rare at this age. Actually, I’ve never seen one. But theoretically, for various reasons, temperament may be suppressed in the body and manifest later.”

Edith also asked what she had doubted in her heart.

“Is it really possible to manifest over 20 years old?”

“According to what has been published in academic reports, the limit is until the late teens. That’s why I can’t say for sure.”

“That’s what I think. It can’t be because I’m old.”

“For now, let’s try to examine a wide range of anemia symptoms. Let’s start with pheromone propensity tests and at the same time see if there are other diseases.”

“Doctor has seen me before. Did you notice any signs at that time?”

“I’m not a god, and it’s hard for me to notice something strange just by looking at their face up close. My temperament is Beta, so I can’t even tell them apart by scent.”

It seemed that she had asked an unreasonable question, so Edith was unable to continue.

On the other hand, the doctor was secretly sweating because of the Crown Prince’s gaze pressing across. He had an assistant who followed him to bring a medical bag.

“This is a pheromone diagnostic kit. Saliva, urine, and hair should be collected and examined in the laboratory. The results will come out in a few days, and Lord Ketzmorris will see me again then.”

“Ah, yes…”

“If there is a result of a peculiar constitution, we will have to deal with it accordingly.”

“How?”

“I think it would be nice to base it on people who develop late. Most of the time, it’s a way to help release the suppressed temperament.”

Edith nodded.

Soon after, she went to the bathroom for a while to fill the diagnostic kit.

The doctor, who was treating her kindly, was sweating on his temples for some reason. He had been moderately nervous before going to the bathroom, but now he looked quite strained.

“What’s wrong? Is there something wrong?”

The medical treatment seemed to have been completed, but the doctor didn’t get up from his seat.

“There is only one thing to explain. I thought you’d like to know when to treat it later.”

“Please say it.”

“If you want to improve your temperament, it’s best to stimulate it with mating. If you’re an Omega, you should be exposed to the Alpha pheromones as often as possible.”

“It’s not complicated.”

“What I’m going to prescribe is a drug similar to Alpha pheromone. But it’s better to actually come into contact with Alpha rather than medicine.”

“Contact?”

Edith was so focused on the conversation that she didn’t see Clyde staring at the doctor.

The doctor, who couldn’t beat the fierce look, coughed in vain. Then he calmly added that the following story was purely for medical purposes.

“For example… like receiving a pheromone shower from dominant Alpha.”

Edith blinked her round eyes innocently.

“Pheromone shower? What’s that?”

Apparently, he expected her to understand, and the doctor was speechless for a moment. Edith didn’t understand the situation even when she watched him throw a look at Clyde.

What’s wrong with them?

As doubts arose, her curiosity about the meaning of pheromone showers grew.

The pheromone shower didn’t appear in the original story. In the past four years of living in this world, no one has mentioned the term to Edith.

It didn’t feel like a good thing. Since the word ‘pheromone’ was included, it was probably related to Alpha or Omega.

It should be widely used if it was a good word, but it was obviously a bad word to see that Edith hasn’t heard it the whole time. In addition, the chill atmosphere was extraordinary. Both the doctor and Clyde looked red.

Clyde cleared his throat slightly on behalf of the doctor.

“Hmm… I’ll explain what pheromone showers are after the treatment is over. When we’re alone.”

“What’s the big deal? Why can’t you speak here?”

She didn’t notice the elderly doctor’s nape was dyed red. The doctor tried to end it with a polite word.

“In any case, actual Alpha pheromones are much more helpful than drugs. Make sure to be exposed to pheromones frequently.”

Even though the test results hadn’t come out yet, it was almost certain that she was like Omega. Edith felt strange. She wondered if the doctor and Clyde were playing a trick.

Still, it was difficult to refute hastily because the story fits perfectly. If pheromones were to blame for the dizzy feeling when she was with Clyde, she was more likely to be latent Omega.

How did this happen?

The original Edith found no trace of Omega in her.

The problem was that there were too many changes happening around her now. She was worried if this was okay. Most of the changes were flowing in a direction she didn’t want, and she had no control over it.

Each character seemed to run rampant on their own. The whole thing was a mess.

In the midst of chaos, she was torn between which choice to make and which strand to hold on for her future.

The doctor withdrew and the time alone just the of them under the guise of work came.

Of course, the work was over the top. The amount and intensity of work were high enough to nosebleed. Clyde couldn’t even forcibly make an excuse to dismiss it since it was also used for national meetings.

The special room where they sat apart was silent. There was a contrasting scene where one person had leisure time and the other was buried in a pile of documents.

The peaceful yet fierce room had a warm atmosphere as if a slight fever was rising.

Edith’s eyes went back and forth between the file and the blank paper. Her hand with pen flew ceaselessly on the paper. On the one hand, she read other people’s documents; then on the other hand, she organized them in her head and wrote her own report. She wondered if she could return home in the evening if she had to work this hard.

Clyde’s scheduled time to leave work was quite early, so she had to go the whole night if she didn’t submit her report by 6 p.m. It was a rule made after the first day of work.

But it was a good night, she would actually occupy Clyde’s bed and sleeps.

The big guy always whined that he was tired, so these days, especially as soon as he ate dinner, he turned off the lights.

She shuddered unconsciously at the thought of food.

‘Phew, late night snack….’

That was really the worst. It was clear that a delusion demon had just come out of hell. It was great for getting her belly fat and she couldn’t stop her hand.

Time flew by while she was thinking for a moment.

In the distance, a bell rang to announce 6 o’clock.

She’s screwed.

“Your Highness, I didn’t have much time today because I practiced dancing as your partner, and I had to see a doctor. If you could spare me a little….”

“Come on, Edith. Should you eat on time? I don’t want to be widely known as a vicious boss who always starves his servant.”

“I don’t have much appetite. I’ll skip dinner and finish writing this and report it.”

“You have no appetite? Oh my, it’s my negligence. Dinner has already been prepared, but let me prepare a special dinner for you instead.”

He must be trying to tease her.

And the trick of not letting her go home somehow was clearly read. She was a fool if she didn’t even know the shallow trick.

After listening to Clyde’s thoughts about his difficult time, she made up her mind. To sum up, he meant that he wouldn’t be pushed to discuss the Crown Prince’s marriage offer recklessly unless he was in a mutual relationship with the person he had in mind.

In a way, he was a truly human and caring man. However, she felt a little sorry when reflecting on Clyde’s feelings.

The Crown Prince realized once again that he was in a very difficult place to be in a relationship.

He didn’t even specify his opponent. It was hard to tell until some progress had been made.

It was unclear who was in Clyde’s heart. Perhaps he confessed that he opened his heart for the upcoming relationship.

They were not in a pink mood.

Because he only gave her an ambiguous space and never confessed for sure.

So, if she ever fell in love with him, she would give all her heart. Just as Clyde waited for his mate and didn’t discuss the Crown Princess position with anyone.

She couldn’t be reckless with her sincerity. Once she started, she didn’t let go of his hand until the end.

It was rather easier to face the Crown Prince as a servant. And she wanted to reduce the time when her heart felt restless as much as possible.

She had no choice but to make a cold decision. Edith’s current alternative was Peyton, and it was also a secret to leave Clyde’s side with ease.

This was the reason why she worked so hard that she would inevitably come home.
