Chapter 74 Castile (Twenty-Five) Meeting...
Going would risk exposing himself, since portraits of those who came from Lorraine to Castile as concubines were almost publicly displayed in the court. But if he didn't go, the Fifth Prince might force his way in.
Chu Jing paced back and forth by the window, the tassels on his clothes swaying with his movements, his brows furrowed. He still couldn't figure out what the problem was.
He and Ryan were like two rabbits being watched, surrounded by wolves outside the small manor.
Chu Jingze's fingers gently caressed the necklace Xu Lingzhao had given him. The silver necklace was warmed by his body heat. At this moment, he missed his Alpha.
When Viv came for the last time, the news she brought broke his heart—she could no longer deliver messages, not just her, but all the messages could no longer be delivered, because the High Prince's party had lost contact, and the entire knightly order had been chased by the insectoids and had strayed from its original path.
But Chu Jing believed that she was not dead.
His Alpha is the most powerful Alpha, and she promised him she would come back.
As he was thinking about these things, Chu Jingze suddenly stopped in his tracks. Viv! He knew about the struggle between Viv and her sister, especially since Viv had mentioned that her sister had a close relationship with the Fifth Prince.
All the information was instantly connected.
He suddenly grabbed the curtains; perhaps Viv was in a more dangerous situation than he was.
With his lover out of contact, his friend in deep crisis, and himself facing a crisis, this was the first time Chu Jingze had faced such a situation, and fear, helplessness, and other negative emotions lingered in his heart.
The moon hanging in the sky shone with its usual soft light, but my mood was different from before.
Chu Jing lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. He was holding Xu Lingzhao's clothes in his arms, the pheromone scent on them almost completely gone. Tears welled up in his eyes, his shoulders trembled uncontrollably, and the scent of white rose pheromones emanated from his glands.
So intensely intense that he seemed to forget his current situation.
A blush gradually spread across his cheeks. "Why is the heat of passion coming earlier than usual?" he murmured softly, hugging Xu Lingzhao's clothes even tighter.
He seemed deaf to the sounds around him, his thoughts drifting far away.
In his fantasy, his Alpha was hugging him from behind, her pheromones filling the air.
Xu Lingzhao looked down at the Omega who had buried his face in her clothes, a doting smile on her lips. After regaining her memories, she dealt with things there and couldn't wait to come to his side. It seemed that she had come at the right time. The scent of Chu Jingze's pheromones seemed to be enveloping her.
She longed to reach out and hug her Omega, but her knight's uniform was covered in dirt.
She could only secretly release pheromones to comfort the Omega who was in the midst of intimacy. She bent down close to his ear, wondering when Chu Jingze would notice her presence.
Chu Jing felt dizzy, the scent of Alph Essence grew stronger, and he felt a warm sensation near his ear.
"Why does this dream feel so real?" Chu Jing opened his eyes slightly. All he could see was darkness, but he felt a hand pressing on his waist through the blanket.
Even if he were slow to notice, Chu Jingze knew there was someone beside him, and the strong scent of pheromones constantly reminded him who it was.
"Is...is it you?" Chu Jingze's breath caught in his throat for a moment, a huge sense of surprise engulfing him in an instant, but he dared not turn around, afraid that this was just a real dream.
The dream will shatter as soon as he turns around.
"It's me." Xu Lingzhao looked at his movement of turning around but not daring to, and felt a pang in her heart. She could clearly see his trembling eyelashes through the night.
For a moment, silence spread between the two. It was not a silence of having nothing to say, but a silence of extreme longing and the joy of unexpected reunion.
Chu Jing turned his head with some difficulty, his throat bobbing, and reached out to turn on the bedside lamp.
The outstretched hand was gently grasped, and the next second, warm yellow light shone on their faces. Affected by the heat of passion, the Omega instinctively wanted to hug his Alpha.
But reason returned slightly.
He leaned closer and gently rested his head against her chest. Despite his immense reluctance, he suppressed his longing and said to her, "I...I'm fine, Viv. She's in danger."
Xu Lingzhao lowered her eyes and could only see his snow-white neck. During the time she was away, it was Viv who protected her Omega. She put her hands on Chu Jingze's shoulders and gently pulled him out of her arms. She looked into his eyes and did not miss the reluctance in them.
Compared to the warmth of the moment, her friend's life was more important. She said, "I'll sleep for a while. I'll be there until you wake up."
-
Viv looked at her sister, who had drawn her longsword at her. At that moment, Vina's eyes were devoid of warmth; she stared at the seemingly powerless person before her like a venomous snake.
“Sometimes I’m really curious about how you gained Father’s favor.” Vina took a step forward toward Viv, her eyes scanning her up and down, her tone full of contempt. “You’re not the only illegitimate daughter, but you’re the only one who can win Father’s favor.”
Viv also took a step back. She listened to Vina's words and observed her actions out of the corner of her eye, but she said without any mercy, "Have you ever thought that even though you are the only legitimate daughter of the duke, your father still keeps bringing back the illegitimate daughter that you despise the most?"
"Because you are selfish, cruel, and wicked."
The two were only a meter apart. Vina stopped after hearing her words. She narrowed her eyes and repeated the three words. After a moment, she laughed. "If it weren't for you, if it weren't for your mother, my mother would never have died."
“I remember that your mother died because she tried to kill Mrs. Perossie, but Father found out and she left on her own.”
"Leave on your own? Heh." Vina couldn't say anything more. "Alright, stop wasting time. Since I dared to come alone, you have no chance of leaving alive."
Vina believed her mental strength was slightly higher than Viv's, which was why she dared to come alone.
Viv was under immense tension. She tried to raise her hand, but her arm seemed to be held back by an invisible force, though she wasn't completely unable to move it.
But in this small space.
Such restrictions were enough for Vina to kill her with her longsword.
In the instant the sword was swung, Viv moved her body with great difficulty, trying her best to avoid the blade, but the excruciating pain still shot through her arm.
Looking down, I saw that the clothes on my forearm had been torn, and blood was dripping onto the ground from the cut fabric.
Vina watched her attack miss, but instead of being disappointed, she continued with a second strike, filled with a sense of excitement. She wanted to torment her like this, rather than kill her with a single blow.
This act, which was comparable to being slowly sliced to death, gave her immense satisfaction. So, she raised her arm again, exerted force with her wrist, and swung the sword a second time under Viv's watchful gaze.
Viv instinctively closed her eyes, but the expected pain did not come. She slowly opened her eyes, only to find complete darkness before her, and Vina was no longer there.
As she tried to investigate by the moonlight, a wave of dizziness washed over her, and she closed her eyes weakly.
-
The Omega, caught in the heat of passion, tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. He kept thinking about the Alpha's last words, but he didn't want to close his eyes at all.
A familiar, soothing pheromone washed over him, making his eyelids feel heavy. Soon after, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
After settling everything in, Xu Lingzhao immediately went to Chu Jingze's side.
Her gaze toward him was as gentle as ever, but compared to before, that gentleness now seemed even more profound.
The most important thing to do right now is to take a shower. Her gaze fell on the bathroom, then on her tattered knight's outfit, and she shrugged helplessly.
She looks like this, and even an Omega can't hug her.
So she coaxed Chu Jingze to sleep and then went into the bathroom.
Soon after, Xu Lingzhao, dressed in pajamas, came to the bedside, naturally lifted a corner of the blanket, and pulled the person sleeping on their side into his arms. The strong scent of white rose pheromones assaulted Xu Lingzhao's nerves and glands.
Looking at the obedient Omega in her arms, Xu Lingzhao's eyes gradually darkened from clear. She couldn't help but reach out her fingers to trace his eyebrows and eyes.
She looked much the same as before, except for a touch more delicate beauty.
Her fingers traced along his neck and shoulder line to his collarbone, then moved to his bulging glands, slowly kneading them. Soon, the Omega unconsciously let out a soft groan.
Upon hearing that soft hum, a slight smile appeared on her lips. An idea she had always wanted to implement kept growing in her mind, and she actually did it.
The movements are very gentle, so as not to wake the Omega, but to help relieve his discomfort during intimacy.
It wasn't until sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains that Chu Jingze slowly woke up. His eyes were a little glazed, and as he looked at the exquisite face of the Alpha so close to him, his mind went blank, and he was speechless for a moment.
He felt a slight ache in his lower back and thighs, but he could clearly feel his thighs resting on the Alpha's waist, as well as a strong sense of foreignness.
When he finally realized what was happening, a deep blush instantly spread across his originally fair cheeks.
His soft pajamas were nowhere to be seen. He gently bit his lower lip, realizing what his Alpha had done to him, and couldn't help but gently hit her chest with his hand.
"What's wrong?" Xu Lingzhao looked at the Omega, her smile obvious. She held his wrist to her heart, her voice deep and magnetic, "Why did you hit me? Because I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chu Jingze suddenly covered his mouth. His eyes were unfocused, and his moistened lips were glistening with an alluring sheen. He said, "You...you know perfectly well what I'm asking. You can't do this anymore."
Xu Lingzhao kissed his palm, her eyes darting across his face, clearly not listening to what he was saying.
"You!" Seeing the Alpha's scoundrel behavior, Chu Jing's ears turned so red they were practically bleeding. He tried to pull his hand back, but she grabbed it. The Omega had no choice but to bury his head in her neck and say, "You're so naughty."
