Chapter 23

“In heat?!?! How?! Aren’t they alphas?!” 

Iyuri-san started to walk away without saying anything. Hey—! Hey—! Are you dumb, you!? I have a bad feeling about this!!

“You can’t go! Don’t go! Are you leaving me behind?!” 

I firmly grasped Iyuri-san’s waist, clinging to him, and stopped him. I was feeling pretty panicked and desperate, but Iyuri-san had a relaxed countenance and looked down at me with a joyful expression. 

This guy, what’s he so relaxed for? 

“It’s alright. They’re alphas. They don’t emit pheromones during their mating period. Besides, aren’t you feeling happy? We were finally able to understand each others’ feelings, so I’m feeling very happy. 

I lightly kicked Iyuri-san’s leg. “That’s not something to worry about right now! Have a sense of danger—!! If you go, it’s dangerous! If it’s you, you de~finitely understand, right!? You airhead! …Eh? Ah, after all, omegas are the only ones that go into heat, right? Then, why are those two emitting a scent?” 

Despite my interrogative questions and insults, Iyuri-san just smiled happily and turned to Solvay-san’s direction. Hey, don’t ignore me—! Answer my question! 

“Solvay, where are those two?” 

“Regarding that… their smell was too intense, so we had to quarantine them in one of the unused greenhouses… eh!? Your Majesty!? Are you going to go over there!?” 

“Mhm—” 

Iyuri-san suddenly swept me up in his arms, and briskly walked away. 

Solvay-san’s face turned pale, and he shouted, “You can’t!! It’s dangerous!! Please stop it!” He ran in front to try and block the path. 

That’s it, that’s it! Solvay-san! Keep talking! 

“Hey! Solvay-san said it too! With four people… ah, if Solvay-san comes, it’ll be 5 people, are you expecting to have some kind of mating party!? If that’s the case, I’d rather not!” 

“I would not like that either. The only person in my life I want to be intimate with is you.” As his brow crinkled in affection and he gave me a peck on the cheek, Iyuri-san smiled suggestively.

What’s with that relaxed attitude. But, the emotions behind that gaze were chillingly cold. 

Yikes! H-he’s definitely mad! Are you going to explode now!? Shield me! 

“No, but still! It’s dangerous after all! As soon as you get a whiff of the scent, it’ll be over in one shot! Are you okay with having me mixed in with those two!!?” 

“There’s no good reason that should happen.” 

“Right!? Therefore!” 

I kept whacking Iyuri-san on the shoulder and saying, “If you get it, then don’t go!!” but he kept walking. Die! You bastard! 

We exited through a long corridor, out through a garden, and then continued down a narrow path. As we kept passing through here and there, I could faintly smell a somewhat sweet scent. 

Ugh! So they were in here? The scent is coming from here! It’s over. It’s really over. The four of us are going to have a party. No, wait, 5 people. Iyuri-san’s an idiot. A total moron. 

As I started tearing up, Iyuri-san came to a halt in front of the room with transparent walls. 

Don’t open it! Even if I tried to stop him, it would be in vain. Without hesitation, Iyuri-san opened the door. 

Stupid–!! He willingly entered such a dangerous battlefield! 

The door was opened, but the so-called greenhouse didn’t have any plants, nor was it very spacious. There was only a chaise lounge chair inside. 

A sickly sweet scent seemed to be coiling through the air of the greenhouse. E-ew! My nose! I want to plug it with something! It was like someone dumped perfume all over the room, and it made me feel sick. Was the scent of heat really this gross? 

Then did I also smell this gross in heat!? Eh, I don’t know what to do, sorry? Maybe there’s a special deodorization skill? 

Anyways, it smelled bad. My nose was scrunched. I involuntarily pinched my nose shut. But, it still stunk. From now on, whenever I’m in heat, I’ll use herbs with a deodorizing ability. 

In the center of the room stood the young lady and spoiled rich master. The moment I saw them, rage welled up inside of me again. Those accursed bastards. 

Upon seeing Iyuri-san, those two’s faces light up, but once they noticed my presence, their expressions turned to fear, like they saw a ghost. I glared back at them. 

“—!? How did you get out of the well!? How did you escape!? Choosing to get out, are you okay with losing your father and house!? I’ll tell my father and he’ll immediately destroy your father and your home!” 

Miluka-sama, her anger bursting out of her, screamed in a high-pitched voice. 

Before you can tell your stupid father, I’ll lock you in the well! I was about to fly out of the arms that were tightly holding me, but Iyuri-san wouldn’t let go of me. 

“Let go of me!! I’ll punch them!!” 

Iyuri-san held me in a tight embrace, and briskly approached the other two. It startled me. 

Ah!! Don’t get any closer!! Why are you moving!? Don’t smell that scent! I’m begging you! Don’t get drawn in by it! 

As I gripped tightly to Iyuri-san’s clothes, he kissed me with a smile, saying, “It’s alright.” 

The young lady screamed, while William-sama stared with a dumbfounded expression. 

Don’t kiss me! Those two stupid people will punish me again! So! Where’s that shamelessness coming from!? 

“…Putting on that perfume, and pretending to be an omega, did you hope to get me to lay my hands on you by pretending to go into heat?” 

He spoke calmly, but his tone was so chillingly cold it made my body shudder. Will the ruthless, inhuman, cruel Emperor finally emerge!? 

William-sama, who had been staring at me, ran up to the Emperor. Solvay-san stepped in to intervene, but Iyuri-san stopped him. Why did you stop him!? Are you influenced by his scent after all?!

Stay away! Don’t come near me! 

William-sama fell to his knees in front of Iyuri-san, and threw his arms around his legs. You, what are you doing? And plus, the smell is even worse at this distance. Ugh!! 

“Your Majesty! Your Majesty!” His delicate, fine clothes were boldly unbuttoned at the chest. 

Oi! What’s with those shameful clothes! Were you hoping to seduce Iyuri-san!?

…Hm? Wait a minute. Just now, what did Iyuri-san say? Perfume? Pretending? Disguise? I heard something like that, right? What was it, exactly? 

I looked over at Solvay-san, but he had an equally uncomprehending expression on his face.

Then Miluka-sama cried out, “Ah-! Your Majesty! I thought I was an alpha, but some kind of genetic mutation happened, and I became an omega! It hurts! Please calm my heat! My body feels like it’s on fire, it burns!” She called out in a fakely innocent tone, and was also wearing clothes emphasizing her chest and showing it off to Iyuri-san. 

The both of you are dressed so shamelessly! Not the least bit reflecting of your upper class status! I don’t know where to look! Should I fight back and rip open my shirt, too!? This sex appeal strategy, I’ll accept the challenge! Even if I’m not in heat, I’ll still sleep with Iyuri-san!

No, wait? Just now, did you say genetic mutation? Turning from an alpha to an omega? Have you ever experienced that before!?

And besides, if these people ever became omegas, they’d never admit it in public. My head was dizzy with confusion. Come to think of it… if they became omegas and went into heat, shouldn’t it trigger the alpha as well? Iyuri-san and Solvay-san are acting normal. 

What’s going on? I, don’t get it at all? What? Is it a new species? Omega, but with some alpha characteristics? 

As I tilted my head in confusion, Iyuri-san said in an icy cold tone, “Solvay, open all the windows and doors. Then, bring a pail with enough water for a bath.” 

How cold! 

Solvay-san seemed to be confused as to why he wasn’t affected by the heat scent either, but he opened the windows and doors as instructed and left the room. 

If the doors and windows are opened, won’t the scent become weaker? And water? What are you intending to do? And why are these two alphas not affected at all? If I were an alpha who smelled an omega’s scent, my senses would be completely messed up, and I wouldn’t be able to think of anything else. 

After all, when I was in heat, Iyuri-san acted with a lot of restraint around me. But maybe because he’s a noble alpha, he has some kind of special resistance skill that he can use? I wonder if Solvay-san is desperately trying to restrain himself? 

“Leave that common omega and come touch us! That commoner is not worthy of someone as noble as Your Majesty! Your Majesty deserves partners as noble as us! Aah, Your Majesty! It burns, it hurts… it hurts!” William-sama clung to Iyuri-san’s legs with an ironclad grip, showing off his exposed chest. 

Stop trying to seduce him! And what’s more, what’s with that “common omega” term!? Isn’t that inappropriate!? The two of you also turned into omegas, you know? I won’t deny that I am one, but I know that without you calling me out! It makes me so mad every time you say it! You, shut your mouth! 

Ugh-! I can’t endure it anymore, I’m going to hit them! Not just one hit, I’ll beat them up! 

“Commoner!! Until when are you going to cling to His Majesty!? You should stay away from His Majesty, as a lower class should!! Besides, why did you leave the well!? Your new home should have become that well until the deadline!! Omega, stay in the shadows like omegas should! Shameless!” 

Huuh!? My home isn’t that well! One after another, this abusive language. And like I said, aren’t you an omega now too!? Do you think you’re different!? As I thought, you intended to keep me locked up in the well until the deadline!! 

No good, I’m losing it. No, I’ve already lost it. I’m sure there’s quite a few people who would agree with my feelings. Father, I’m sorry for being an unfilial son. I’ll carry the burden of this crime myself. 

I reached out to grab Miluka-sama, saying, “Excuse me for hitting you just this once. Please be careful that you don’t hurt your beautiful hands,” but I was stopped. 

Don’t stop me!! I, I can’t endure it anymore!! 

But Iyuri-san held my hand in his, and kicked out his legs. The young lady and young master who were clinging to his legs were flung away and rolled onto the floor. 

Uwah, how brutal. But it serves you right, I thought. 

They didn’t understand what happened to them, so their eyes and mouths were wide open, stupefied expressions on their faces. Just then, Solvay-san returned, carrying a giant bucket with an equally giant handle. 

Iyuri-san lowered me to the floor, took the bucket, and, unexpectedly, threw it over the figures of the young lady and young master. 

W-w-w-w-w-what are you doing!?!?!? H-have you gone mad!? 

Iyuri-san seemed to have donned his iron mask expression again, and he stared down at the two, whose shocked faces showed that they had no idea what had just happened. 

Then, he picked me up again, and declared in a chillingly cold tone, 

“Atone for this with your deaths.”
