The Emperor's Omega Is An Extra-Chapter 249: Life On Line (3)
Chapter 249: Life On Line (3)
The sudden turn of events truly left the Empire’s forces and Spade at a loss. For a moment, everyone questioned themselves if what was happening was real.
It started with a video that immediately trended on the internet. Armed forces shattered the silence of the night; they began to seize homes as they all forced every abled man across ages and captured them. It was even more so for the alphas.
These gained the anger of the relatives and the scared citizens, but what could they do? The armed forces still captured these men. Soon, news of them being sighted on the frontlines had given everyone a chill and frightened the empire and the world.
It was because these men, while still equipped with weapons, were all berserk and not sane as they rampaged on the battlefield, making it harder for Empire forces to get through and attack them. Just by looking at them, it was obvious they were all civilians.
At some point, even women were thrown into the pit that was a man-made hell by the organization.
No one anticipated this. At the start of the war, although disputes and skirmishes along the borders happened from time to time, it was never pointed out that they would be on a large scale. This was all because of the citizens inside, which made them hesitate.
Also, the organization has never done anything for the citizens yet. At least the civilians inside still continued to live normally despite the tense atmosphere. Although there were really travel restrictions from the blockade of the domain and the curfew, the Marquis didn’t harm civilians too much aside from those participating in the riots.
And now, they seemed to be stripping away all cordialities, making the civilians their cannon fodder, and using them to delay the Empire’s forces.
Just earlier, large-scale riots had also been reported inside, and the tension across the borders and the domains intensified at once. Not only that but there were also increasing protests by civilians and organizations outside, which they suspected would garner even more participants in the coming days.
As a result, it was also a challenge for the military and the authorities to keep them safe and arrest any stubborn civilians that would cause chaos among the crowd.
The voices of the citizens had also become louder since the use of the terrifying drug was now publicized at the Moonlight Festival, and the people were not traumatized by it. Seeing it once more, the scared citizens all petitioned the Emperor to reclaim the land and punish the mastermind behind it all.
Spade was now having a headache because of this event. Not only that, his anger was no less than that of the citizens, and it was even greater. This move from the organization didn’t only provoke anger but also mocked him.
They were mocking him that they could do anything to his citizens and he could only watch. Spade had long been suppressing his anger, but this time, as the world was burning with both anger and fear, he was at his limits.
As an Emperor, there was nothing more provocative than seeing his citizens being used as cannon fodder. Spade listened to all the reports from the various departments.
His hands had long gripped the armrest tightly, and the pheromones that came from him had long become oppressive. The officials and nobles around him were only forcing themselves to maintain their appearances, or they had long fled.
"What is the situation on the front lines?" Despite his anger, Spade’s voice was still steady and calm. If not for his suffocating pheromones, the people inside might be convinced by his calmness.
However, the meeting had to continue, and the one supposed to answer him had to answer.
"Your Majesty, the unrest in the front lines was gradually erupting. The Commander also increased the forces in the borders as the presence of the enemies also became evident, an alpha in his military uniform responded, as he added. "It seems even they also wanted a large-scale battle this time."
Spade didn’t answer, but he agreed to his speculation. In fact, it was extremely obvious. No one even needed military knowledge to notice this.
After a few more questions and answers and even reporting, the meeting adjourned.
That day, it became busier. that Spade only returned to their room late in the night. After showering, he only intended to nap beside Arren for a few hours before he needed to return and supervise the battlefield.
However, when he was about to lay down next to Arren, the omega shifted. His hoarse yet soft voice then rang.
"Spade?" Arren spoke. He opened his eyes slowly and made eye contact with the alpha. fгeewebnovёl.com
"Sorry, did I wake you?" Spade’s apologetic voice sounded.
Even with the dim light, although Arren couldn’t see his full expression, he still noticed the alpha’s tiredness in his voice.
Arren shook his head and patted his side, signaling for the alpha to lay down. "I’m actually waiting for you; I just took a nap."
"Waiting for me? Is there something wrong?" Spade couldn’t help but ask, but he still complied and laid down next to Arren.
It was true that Arren waited for Spade. Well, he did plan to tell him what he saw. However, as he heard what was happening to the front lines, Arren decided to tell him some other time.
He became even more convinced as the alpha looked really exhausted this time. Arren didn’t want to add in his worries; at this time, it was better than Spade focused on the war, otherwise, something irreversible might happen.
Just looking, Spade was already worried without even knowing the reason Arren waited for him. He had already known his effect on the alpha. In some cases, he loved it, but in their situation, Arren was not selfish.
Spade wasn’t just his lover; since the first day he accepted the alpha, he knew that Spade had a bigger responsibility as the monarch. Arren wouldn’t get in the way of that duty.
After all, he still has a lot of time to tell Spade. Arren would wait for now until they reclaimed the Ford’s Domain.
"No, nothing. I’m just worried... The situation on the front lines seemed graver this time." Arren’s tone was sincere; he was really worried.
When he watched the video and read the articles online, he came to a conclusion about how fucking terrible the organization was. This was the chaos they always wanted.
Spade’s expression turned softer. "Don’t worry about it. I’ll take action about it later." He embraced Arren, and he remembered the session the Omega planned to do.
"What happened with your conversation with Ms. M?" It was also something that made him uneasy, so he always asked Arren if needed.
Arren hugged Spade tighter, burying his face in the alpha’s secured chest. "It’s a success. But... I’m still thinking about what it meant," he answered with both the truth and a lie.
Although he was indeed hiding what he saw for now, Arren had not intended to hide that the session was a success, so saying he was thinking about the dreams he meant was also a convincing answer that he would the alpha later the result.
At this, Spade didn’t ask too much. It was enough that Arren was fine. He could wait, as always.
They slept peacefully that night, holding onto the fact that they could wait for the right time. However, who knew if fate had the same intentions as them?
Three days later, everything turned for the worst.
