The Whole Empire Thinks The Admiral Wants To Steal The Bride - Chapter 7

Chapter 7 – “I’m afraid of losing”

　☆☆Chapter 7 – The Whole Empire Thinks The Admiral Is Too Serious☆☆
　
　　”He can only be mine.”

　　Glenn spoke very slowly when he said this, and his tone was not much different from his usual speaking tone, but unfortunately the pheromones spontaneously emitted by the Alpha exposed him.

　　The smell of damp earth after the rain became stronger in the air.

　　Victoria wast originally a Beta who was not affected by pressure, but she even felt like she was drowning.

　　”Very good, Admiral.” Victoria smiled, “As I promised before, I will give you this opportunity. He will always belong to you.”

　　”What do you need me to do?” Glenn had a blank expression on his face, his facial features made even more resolute by the moonlight.

　　Victoria looked calm, without any sense of embarrassment caused by the sinful transaction: “I already believe in your determination, but you still need to gain the trust of my allies.”

　　”Allies?”

　　Victoria nodded, she loosened her right hand and adjusted the jewel necklace on her chest.

　　——The dazzling violet gem made a slight “click” sound and cracked evenly from the center, revealing a roughly crafted pigeon medal.

　　Glenn’s expression suddenly changed.

　　”You colluded with the Gray Pigeon Pirates,” Glenn said in a declarative tone, his voice cold enough to freeze ice slag. “This is treason!”

　　A gust of wind shook the branches of the organ tree, and the rustling sound covered up the conversation between the two people.

　　Victoria looked calm, as if treason was just a trivial matter like eating and sleeping. She didn’t care what Glenn thought at the moment, she was sure of victory.

　　”Admiral,” Victoria smiled, “Do you know why my brother can abandon and betray you so recklessly? Because he is the crown prince, he is the future king of the Fran Empire. Every piece of land and every person in this country belongs to him, including you. If you don’t pull him down from the clouds, you will never get him.”

　　”I don’t need to get him this way.” Glenn gritted his teeth.

　　”You have no choice.” Victoria raised her voice.

　　”I guess after tonight, my brother and Grand Duke Theresa will be on guard against you. As for your military…” the girl scoffed, “They are much more loyal than you. Glenn Sasir, no one in this world would risk the world’s condemnation to help an Alpha seize someone else’s Omega. You can only choose to go along with me and rob him, or you can only watch your lover fall into the arms of another. Don’t you feel hatred?”

　　Glenn was silent for a while, as if he was struggling.

　　He caught a glimpse of a black shadow flashing by with his peripheral vision, and when he looked closely, he found that it was just mottled shadows of trees.

　　Glenn sighed and shook his head calmly: “I don’t trust you, Victoria.”

　　The black-haired admiral leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette, looking decadent and sexy.

　　”I don’t understand – or rather, I can’t find any reason why you hate His Highness Joshua. Your position is intriguing. I can certainly cooperate with you, but trust is always based on secret exchanges, Your Highness.”

　　Victoria was also silent for a while, and suddenly said: “Joshua killed my mother.”

　　The burning cigarette butt in Glenn’s hand suddenly fell to the ground.

　　The wind stopped and the swaying shadows of the trees disappeared.

　　Glenn had heard about Princess Victoria’s life story before, and it was a rather melodramatic story.

　　The reigning His Majesty Gustav only married one female Omega in his life—the late Queen Natasha, the charming lily of Dulan City.

　　The emperor and empress loved each other deeply throughout their lives and were a model couple that all the major gossip newspapers talked about with great relish.

　　Unfortunately, Queen Natasha was in weak health, and she began a long period of recuperation after giving birth to Joshua.

　　Victoria’s biological mother, Lady Mona, appeared at this time.

　　Mona Galt was originally just an unknown civilian Omega. Relying on her wonderful embroidery skills, she was invited by Queen Natasha, who was quiet and fond of handicrafts, to teach in the palace. Her life story was quite pitiful. She was forcibly marked when she was a girl. She had lived alone ever since, and used to spend a lot of money every month to buy special inhibitors to avoid estrus.

　　Queen Natasha was kindhearted and took great care of Mona, treating her as her own sister and often providing her with assistance and rewards.

　　Unexpectedly, three months later, the unmarried Mona was found to be pregnant. Eight months later, LadyMona gave birth to a baby girl with black hair and blue eyes.

　　The blue eyes that symbolized the royal bloodline of the Franc family were like a sharp knife, ruthlessly cutting Natasha’s fragile nerves. Since Victoria was born, Queen Natasha refused to see the man on the throne even once, even if His Majesty begged her in every possible way, Natasha’s door was never opened for him again.

　　This nightmare did not end just yet.

　　Depression and anger destroyed the queen’s will to live, and Queen Natasha died when Joshua was just nine years old.

　　What’s even more legendary is that Lady Mona also died silently four years later.

　　There were many versions of this romantic affair:

　　Some say that Lady Mona committed suicide out of guilt, some say that His Majesty only loved Lady Natasha from beginning to end and Princess Victoria was just the result of drunkenness, and some say that Lady Mona was the most beloved white moonlight in His Majesty’s life… Even Glenn, who wasn’t a gossipy guy, had heard seventeen or eighteen versions of the story.

　　Now Her Royal Highness Princess Victoria has given this past event a new facet- vendetta.

　　Glenn suddenly had the urge to turn around and leave, but unfortunately he couldn’t.

　　Victoria’s lips curled up, and her tone was sarcastic: “Your Majesty does not love me. The reason why my mother was pregnant with me was because she used an inducer on Your Majesty. Oh, yes, my mother also did not love me because I failed to make her successful.”

　　Glenn remained silent.

　　”As for my brother,” Victoria tilted her head, looking innocent, “he must hate me and my mother. After all, if it weren’t for that crazy woman, the queen wouldn’t have died early, and your majesty wouldn’t have lived in seclusion like a believer in the universe. He lost his perfect father and mother at the same time, which is really pitiful. No wonder he took action.”

　　Another gust of wind blew, the shadows of the trees swayed, and the cigarette butts on the ground went out.

　　”How do you know it was Joshua who killed Lady Mona?”

　　”He admitted it himself.”

　　”When?”

　　”When he was thirteen, the day after my mother died.” Victoria smiled, “He told me that he hated her, but he was willing to take care of me.”

　　Glenn suddenly felt that clothes were suddenly a little thin, and his chest felt a little cold.

　　”I am an unexpected child. I was born in chaos, Admiral.” Victoria said softly, “So I love chaos and I rely on chaos.”

　　”What exactly do you want to do?” Glenn asked in a low voice.

　　”I don’t know,” Victoria said calmly, “Maybe I just don’t want others to live a good life. Who knows?”

　　She didn’t wait for Glenn’s reply. Her blue eyes, which looked 80% like her brother’s, curved, and she took her fiancé’s arm again, saying cheerfully, “Let’s go, we’ve been away for too long. It’s time to go back and show some affection, Admiral, what do you think?”

　　•=|=•

　　Grand Duchess Theresa lazily lay on a tree branch, shaking the thin branches on both sides with interest.

　　”Is everything she said true?”

　　”Perhaps.”

　　This was a vague answer and Joshua did not give a direct answer.

　　Theresa raised her eyebrows and kindly reminded, “Maybe you have something to hide, but the man is obviously very angry. He didn’t even look at me when he left.”

　　”Yes, I know.”

　　Joshua’s face was pale, and his eyes were full of fatigue: “In fact, he will know it sooner or later. In the end, it’s all the same.”

　　Theresa sneered, “All the same?”

　　The Grand Duchess put one hand around her friend’s waist, jumped down from the tall tree, and landed steadily on the ground.

　　”That little white flower is quite like her mother. She is very good at pretending to be pitiful and her words are like poetry. Is she really a Beta? But for an old virgin like my idol might be deceived by his soft heart. She might really turn him against you. Don’t cry.”

　　”Why do you expect me to cry every day?” Joshua raised his eyebrows, his expression softened. “He’s not that stupid.”

　　Theresa: “…Hehe.”

　　Joshua hesitated for a moment, then added: “He just can’t accept it for the time being. Victoria wanted to commit treason, which was more serious to him than the idea of me murdering ten thousand Lady Monas.”

　　Theresa lifted the hem of her red skirt and pulled Joshua towards another door of the banquet hall without caring about it. She said calmly, “Joshua, what are you afraid of?”

　　”…” Joshua smiled helplessly: “I only have one chance, I’m afraid of losing.”
