Chapter 82 Castile (Chapter 33) Jealousy; Suppressing the Rebellion...

An uneasy feeling surged within him. Percy Monmo, he murmured the name to himself. Someone he thought he would never cross paths with again had suddenly entered his life.

Percy was beautiful, an Omega adored by countless people in Lorraine. On his way to Castile, before he met Xu Lingzhao, he envisioned that if he wanted to survive in the palace, the first person he would have to face was Percy.

An indescribable sense of inferiority welled up in her heart. The sensitivity of pregnancy plunged Chu Jing into extreme anxiety. She gripped the corner of the quilt tightly. If, if she agreed, then what would she be?

Chu Jing leaned weakly against the headboard. There was no formal wedding between him and her, and even his identity was something he couldn't reveal. He gently stroked his belly, "What about this child?" he murmured.

In his eyes, his Alpha was so good, so gentle, so amazing, that no one could resist falling in love with her; it was just a matter of time.

A deep sadness overwhelmed him like a tide, and he fell into a deep sleep, tears still clinging to his eyelashes, curled up in the blankets.

When Xu Lingzhao returned, this was the scene she saw. In the past, Chu Jingze would always be sitting quietly on the bed in her pajamas, reading and waiting for her. But today, what awaited her was a bulging blanket.

The scent of pheromones had faded considerably, and Xu Lingzhao seemed to detect sadness within them.

Snow still clung to the shawl. Xu Lingzhao tossed it aside and went straight to the bed. She reached out and pulled back a corner of the blanket. Omega

Her eyelashes trembled slightly; she was unwilling to wake up.

Xu Lingzhao didn't know what had happened that made his Omega unwilling to face her, but she didn't choose to remain silent. Instead, she leaned down and kissed his cheek. "It's uncomfortable to sleep with your head full," she said gently and deeply. Before he could open his eyes, she picked him up and carried him away.

She carefully wrapped him up in the blanket, her gaze fixed intently on his face.

"Still won't you open your eyes and look at me?" Her voice held a hint of grievance as she leaned in and kissed the tip of his nose. "What happened, hmm?"

Chu Jing, who had originally intended to pretend to be asleep, softened instantly upon hearing her words. He opened one eye and saw Xu Lingzhao's enlarged face before him.

His cheeks were burning. He bit his lower lip and it took him a while to utter a sentence, "I... um... I won't hold you back, I'll leave..." Before he could finish speaking, Xu Lingzhao kissed his lips, preventing him from continuing. The unfinished words turned into sobs.

Xu Lingzhao kissed intently, and a pair of hands gradually climbed onto her neck. The kiss lasted for a long time before it ended.

"What were you about to say?" Xu Lingzhao stared directly at him. "Did someone say something to you?"

A barrage of questions left the dazed Chu Jingze speechless. To the Alpha, his demeanor suggested a lack of communication. Xu Lingzhao's eyes darkened, and he tightened his grip on Chu Jingze's arms. "You've never held me back in any way. I won't allow you to leave me. I'll do whatever you want, but this is the one thing I won't allow."

Her words were resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.

Chu Jing stared blankly at the Alpha in front of him. The words, "You won't let me leave you," swept away the bitterness in his heart. He could sense that the Alpha was a little angry at this moment.

He realized he had been too sensitive and suspicious. Chu Jing then looked up and kissed her neck, saying softly, "I'm sorry." He even nuzzled her with his fluffy head in a pleading manner.

Xu Lingzhao looked at him with no expression on her face. She grabbed his neck and forced him to look up. "No more acting cute. Now it's my turn to be unhappy."

Omega's eyes were flushed, and he opened his mouth as if to say something, but he felt that it wouldn't be appropriate to say anything at this moment. Chu Jing, on the other hand, had tears welling up in his eyes, his big, bright eyes misted over, and he said pitifully, "You can't be mean to me, I'm pregnant."

Her soft tone made Xu Lingzhao stop being cold. She stroked his face with her hand and sighed softly, "I won't be mean to you, but can you tell me why you're unhappy?" After saying that, she released his neck and hugged him back into her arms.

Chu Jing nestled against her chest, the strong beating of her heart ringing in his ears. Somewhat embarrassed, he told Xu Lingzhao all his wild thoughts from the day.

After hearing this, Xu Lingzhao pinched his chin and chuckled, "You're jealous." She said it with certainty, a faint smile on her face. This side of Chu Jingze was quite adorable.

"So today, did you agree to Ma?" Chu Jing looked up and asked Alpha cautiously.

"Guess." Xu Lingzhao tilted her head slightly, for some reason wanting to tease him.

"I won't guess." Chu Jing turned his head away from her. The answer was obvious, but he still wanted to hear Xu Lingzhao say it herself.

"Of course I didn't agree. I have a family." Xu Lingzhao smiled and kissed his cheek. The awkwardness between them disappeared, and Chu Jing closed his eyes and let her kiss land on his face.

Chu Jing decided that from now on he would stop having wild thoughts.

He believed that he loved her, and she loved him just as much, otherwise she wouldn't have traveled back and forth between the two places every day just to appease him.

"You are my whole world." Xu Lingzhao pressed him down on the bed, making sure not to press on his stomach. The two looked at each other, their pupils reflecting each other's images.

The pheromones of both were intertwined, inseparable.

The news of the Queen's illness was already common knowledge in the royal city. In the past few months, the Second Prince had been winning people's hearts and expanding his own power.

He even openly contradicted the Queen when she met with her ministers.

Xu Lingzhao was among them. At this moment, her identity was no longer that of a knight commander but a marquis with her own fiefdom. She had already transferred Chu Jingze to her fiefdom for protection.

Her frequent visits to the palace were undoubtedly a threat to Senas, but fortunately, Xu Lingzhao did not have any real military power.

Furthermore, information from Solo's informants indicated that the Crown Prince was in a precarious situation.

The nobles in the heart of the capital city had a vague feeling that something big was about to happen, and as a result, there were far fewer banquets in the capital city, with many nobles choosing to protect themselves.

Taking advantage of the Queen's serious illness, Senas seized control of the entire palace. She squinted at Xu Lingzhao standing beside the Queen. The only trouble now was this annoying lord in front of her.

She tried many times to secretly get rid of Xu Lingzhao, but unfortunately, she never succeeded.

When Senas returned to her lodgings, she looked up and saw Viv sitting in the living room, drinking coffee and reading the book she hadn't finished reading, which was on the coffee table.

"Why are you here?" Senas took off her coat and sat down opposite Viv. The Omega opposite her was no longer the same as before; every move she made exuded aristocratic elegance.

“I have some news that I think you might be interested in.” Viv placed her coffee cup on the coffee table, and after the crisp clinking sound, she closed her book and walked to Senas’s side, placing her hand on her shoulder and leaning slightly forward. “I heard that you’ve always wanted to bring down Commander Xu.”

"Oh? What do you know?" This question piqued Senas's interest. She looked at Viv with great interest, her gaze sweeping over her face, and said in a low voice, "Tell me, stop keeping me in suspense."

Viv smiled slightly and leaned close to Senas's ear, "I have conditions."

"You're asking for the moon."

“Compared to becoming the Queen of Castile, these things are as light as a feather to you.” Viv rose and sat back down on the sofa, deciding not to say anything more until Senas agreed.

After a brief standoff, Senas laughed, clapping her hands. Her tone was full of admiration, but her eyes were cold. "I didn't expect you to be so greedy."

"make a deal."

The next morning, Senas rushed to the palace. The queen, pale-faced, leaned weakly on the throne, her crown tilting as a result.

“Your Majesty, I have something important to report,” Senas said, glancing at Xu Lingzhao standing beside the Queen. Before the Queen could speak, she told her everything that Viv had told her.

"The Marquis Xu beside you, when she was still a knight, secretly hid your concubine, Chu Jingze. He did not die, but was hidden by her. How horrifying it is that a knight would covet Your Majesty's Omega." She finished speaking in one breath.

The expected rage did not materialize. She looked up at the Queen's reaction and found that the Queen simply lifted her eyelids and said indifferently, "Just an Omega."

"Your Majesty!" Senas tried to say something but was ruthlessly interrupted by the Queen.

"Alright, I'm tired. You may leave." The Queen closed her eyes, unwilling to look at her any longer.

As Senas rose to leave, she realized that the Queen seemed to have noticed her thoughts and that now that she held power, it was the perfect time.

Not long after, one night, Senas led her knights to surround the queen's bedchamber, her eyes filled with confidence. Not only the palace, but the entire royal city was surrounded by her people.

Her power had expanded to an unprecedented level, and many nobles, in an effort to curry favor, continuously bestowed wealth and knights upon her. She joined forces with her own people to launch an attack when the Queen announced that she was seriously ill and had little time left.

She wanted to force the Queen to step down; she had been suppressed by the Crown Prince in the past, and now, after so many years...

Senas could no longer tolerate this.

Just as she forced her way into the Queen's bedchamber, the scene inside shocked her greatly. The entire bedchamber was deserted. When she realized something was wrong and tried to leave the palace, the Crown Prince, along with Solo's knights, surrounded her knightly order.

The Queen appeared behind her, surrounded by a crowd.

Seeing this, many of Senas's knight commanders chose to defect.

With defeat inevitable, Senas committed suicide in the palace in despair, thus ending the Second Prince's coup.

“Mother.” Alistair came before the Queen. He had been completely transformed and was no longer the same person as before. The Queen looked at him with eyes full of satisfaction.

"Thanks to you both." The Queen's gaze shifted back and forth between Alistair and Xu Lingzhao, and she took their hands and placed them together.

Just as Alistair was wondering what was going on, the Queen's words left him stunned.

“You two siblings are just like me back then.” The Queen’s face was full of approval.

Alistair's pupils dilated in shock; he even forgot to breathe, and his gaze toward Xu Lingzhao held a hint of hostility.
