CHAPTER 182: PREGNANT OMEGA!

The day came to an end even after the awkward meeting with the Marquess. Rin immediately forgot the reason for his visit... That is, the adoption... He concentrated on his cute brother and his mother, who was also busy preparing for tomorrow’s golden goose game.

While they had dinner, Rin told her a bunch of things to look out for. He knew the reason she chose to do it was because she wanted demonic energy. After all, she’s a succubus.

It might be a little bit awkward for Rin to watch his mother sleep with a bunch of men, but...

"I could share my demonic energy with you, mother..."

He already suggested that, but Elyria refused.

"You have to use your energy to protect yourself... I’ll gather mine, okay?"

That was his mother’s response and he gave up trying to persuade her. They continued to chat about tomorrow evening. Since it was Elyria’s first time, she had to do it exactly as Rin. She must not make any mistakes and also, the aphrodisiac candles must be more than enough.

Elyria isn’t an omega, she’s a demon. She didn’t have Pheromones that could seduce the men, so she had to use aphrodisiac incense or candles.

.

"So, you’re saying... I have to take control of the men,"

"Yes, mother," Rin took a pause as he chewed the bread in his mouth. "You should know how to take control, right?"

Elyria rubbed her chin, with an innocent look on her face.

"I’m not sure I have any idea. All I’ve ever done is..."

"Hold on, mother," Rin stopped her before she finished her words. He already knew what his mother was into. Multiple men. And that’s what she was aiming for tomorrow. That way, it would be faster for her to accumulate a lot of energy.

Rin, on the other hand, was different. And that’s what he was telling his mother.

"If Elyria wants to do it her way, then let her," Lirien suddenly entered, with a bowl of diced fruits with a fruit fork. "Your way and her way are both different, Rin,"

Rin nodded and agreed. He tried to reach for the fruits but Lirien beat his hand.

"It’s not yours, it belongs to Elyria. She needs it for tomorrow,"

Rin squinted his eyes and went back to eating his bread.

"Anyway, you can do what you want mother. However, you must not let them see your face. That’s why the veil is added to tomorrow’s outfit,"

"Noted," Elyria said with a smile as she ate the fruit and then asked. "Why are you telling me this now? Aren’t you going to be around tomorrow?"

"Me? No!" Rin answered.

Lirien also wore a confused look on her face as she glared at Rin.

"Are you running away again?"

"Of course not, Aunt. What do you take me for?" Rin folded his hands as he chewed the last piece of bread.

"Then..." Elyria tilted her head.

"I’ll be taking Winter to the Vortellion estate tomorrow. I can’t allow him to be here when the game is going on,"

Elyria and Lirien exchanged looks. They had forgotten about Winter. He’s young and shouldn’t witness the game.

Elyria smiled and turned to Rin.

"You can take him out of here then. But, why the Vortellion estate? You’re not taking him to see your lover, are you?"

"Of course, I am. I have to show Lucien how cute my brother is. Don’t worry, we’re just going to eat snacks and that’s all,"

Lirien wore the ’I don’t believe you’ look. But being with Rin was better than being in the brothel.

"You must return first thing the next morning," Lirien said and Rin nodded. He placed a hand on his chest and mumbled...

"I promise,"

With his right hand on the chest, Elyria saw the ring on Rin’s finger. She immediately remembered Lirien telling her about the ring her father gave to Rin. She had wanted to discuss it with Rin but she always forgot.

She stood up from her seat and walked towards Rin, taking his hand. Rin wondered what his mother was up to till she took his index finger.

Rin flinched. He had forgotten to tell his mother about the run. He had even forgotten about it. Ever since he got the ring, it refused to leave his finger. It’s as if it were bound to his soul.

Naturally, a person would feel uncomfortable with a ring on his finger, but it wasn’t like that with the skull ring. Rin lowered his head to look at his mother, who kept fiddling with Rin’s finger.

"Mother..."

"He gave this to you, didn’t he?"

"Mother..." Rin called again.

"Talk to me Rin! That man wouldn’t just give this to anyone. Did you make a deal with him? What deal? Did you promise him that you would become the next demon king?"

"Mother," Rin grabbed his mother’s shoulder and she flinched. "Wipe your tears first,"

"Tears?" She lifted her hand to touch her cheek. She didn’t even notice that she was crying. She suddenly broke down and Lirien walked towards her from behind.

"Calm down, Elyria. Rin might be foolish but he wouldn’t fall for that man’s trick," Lirien said.

"Yes, mother... Wait, what?" Rin at first didn’t hear what Lirien had said properly.

Elyria wiped her cheek and let go of Rin’s finger.

"No matter what you do, never accept that man’s deal. He’s evil!"

’The person you’re referring to as ’that man’ is your father, mother,’

Rin wanted to say that but he couldn’t even open his mouth. He just nodded. Everyone kept calling the demon king evil, but he’s like Santa Claus, nice and handsome, though, a younger version.

Maybe, he’s pretending. Maybe it’s his trick to get close to Rin. Rin has no idea. He just has to make sure he doesn’t fall for his trick and also, hope that a time wouldn’t come when he has to use the ring.

Elyria was back to normal and Rin left her with Lirien.

.

Rin left his mother’s room and closed the door behind him. He would have gone next door, where his room was, but he wanted to walk around just to clear his head.

He had been through so much ever since he woke up. At first, it was the Omegas, then it was meeting with the D’Amaris family and now it is his mother.

He groaned in frustration and saw Kiro, Lia and Winter, carrying a box. Winter’s dog, Sunny, was right behind them.

Rin followed behind silently till they got to the hall that was being decorated. Winter entered for the first time and opened his mouth wide.

"Wow, it’s huge. Are they throwing a party," he asked.

"Of course not, it’s the golden goose game," Kiro answered, with a proud look on his face.

Winter placed the box down together with Kiro and Lia and rubbed his sweaty hands on his clothes before innocently tilting his head and asking...

"What is the golden goose game?"

Kiro and Lia exchanged glances with each other. They had no idea what to say to a little boy. They couldn’t tell him what it was about and Rin couldn’t hold his laughter, seeing how Winter’s little question kept them mute.

The trio heard him laughing and turned to look in the direction from which it was coming. Winter lifted his tiny hands as he rushed to his brother.

"You are here, brother,"

"Of course, I am," Rin knelt in front of him and touched his nose. "Aren’t you a curious cat?"

"I just wanted to know what party is going on,"

"It’s an adult party. Do you wish to attend?" Rin asked him and Winter nodded his head.

Kiro and Lia almost screamed at what Rin was doing but Rin ignored them. He rubbed his chin and nodded...

"Are you an adult?" He asked and Winter hesitated before shaking his head.

"But I want to come," he said again.

"Sure. But, I won’t be around with you tomorrow. You see, I’m going to have a lot of snacks and ice cream and... Since you’re an adult, you won’t come with me,"

"No!" Winter yelled. "I want to come with you. Sunny and I... We’ll follow you,"

Rin smiled and ruffled his white hair.

"Good boy. Now, don’t interrupt Kiro and Lia. They have a lot to do. Go play with Sunny in the garden,"

Winter nodded and ran off with Sunny. He watched his brother leave and stretched his hands, turning his head to Kiro and Lia.

"You seem good with kids," Kiro said.

Rin proudly nodded. It was true he loved kids especially when he was in his original world. But, they can sometimes get so annoying that he wants to hit them.

Kiro was busy chatting with him when he turned his head away for a second and saw a small gathering at the other side of the hall. Someone had collapsed. The three of them rushed to see one of the Omegas on the floor, with Theron checking her condition.

"What happened to her?" Rin asked. Theron let go of her wrist and lifted his head to look at Rin.

"She’s... She’s pregnant," he said.

Rin froze. It wasn’t something that was avoidable. For a courtesan to get pregnant but... In this brothel, Lirien had made sure that the courtesans were unable to bear children. It’s not permanent, but just every evening especially after they’ve interacted with a customer. They were to drink herbs made by her. But for this omega to be pregnant... It could only mean one thing. She refused to drink the herbs, and she got pregnant on purpose.

"Oho! I wonder how Lirien would deal with this,"
