“Ah, ah, ah.” A sweet, indulgent moan flowed uncontrollably. Suddenly, the scent of the sea lingered in the air. As Niall caught Duke’s pheromones, his body also heated up. Desire to mix his own pheromones with those of the tightly sealed passionate Omega and this Alpha permeated the air.
Before he knew it, Niall’s fingers were running through Duke’s hair. The silky, well-maintained hair he had always wanted to touch slipped smoothly between Niall’s fingers.
Niall incessantly caressed Duke’s beautifully dyed silver-blue hair, which was cool, sparkling, and had an otherworldly glow. Only that sensation could distract Niall from the feeling of his nipple being sucked.
Duke’s head moved up and down. He was biting and pulling on the nipple and areola as if to squeeze them.
Every time the soft nipples swelled, Niall let out a gasp and arched his waist. It felt too strange, something he wanted to avoid, yet he wanted to give himself to Duke. He wanted Duke to suck on the other nipple too.
“Ah, Duke!”
The moment Duke tightened his grip on the nipple with his tongue, Niall screamed and pushed his body backwards. As Duke raised his head and looked at Niall, and as Niall, recovering from a brief spasm, gasped for breath, Duke stared at him with a dumbfounded expression before suddenly jumping off Niall’s body.
“Ha… Ha… Duke?”
Niall reached out his hand. He regretted the smooth, cool feeling of Duke’s hair slipping through his fingers. He wanted to grab it again. His chest, which Duke had let go after sucking, throbbed with heat. It was feverish.
Duke looked at Niall’s bare torso with widened eyes, then covered his mouth with both hands and continued to stare in astonishment.
Niall’s gaze fell on Duke’s lower body. Although covered by clothing, the front of Duke’s trousers looked unnaturally bulging. Niall blinked slowly at the surreal sight, but no matter how many times he blinked, the fact that Duke was aroused remained unchanged.
“No way…”
Bang! The door slammed open. Duke rushed out. His knight followed behind him. Niall was left alone, staring dumbfoundedly at their retreating figures. Reality slowly caught up with him.
Duke was aroused. While sucking on my chest.
He was sexually aroused by me.
Niall covered his face with both hands, just as Duke had done earlier. And for a long time, he didn’t move from that position.
His heart was pounding fiercely in his chest.

Lagarton had conveyed that if Duke didn’t meet him secretly three times, he would not withdraw his support. Duke had complied with that demand.
Finally, after the three meetings were over, Lagarton had cleaned his hands and left. Hoping for a more positive response in the next meeting, he had smiled ingratiatingly.
After the short war, the soldiers returned. Although they had been gone for only a month, the cold in Shiralund had deepened even more during that time. Just when they had barely adapted, the power in the north proved to be endless.

“I’m fine, sir.”
Niall sniffled and raised his head. Although nosebleeds had become more frequent lately, they didn’t last long. A few drops flowed and stopped on their own, so there was no need for special treatment.
“You’ve been through a lot over there.”
“Haha, what can I say.”
“Do you know how surprised I was? Suddenly the knight came to pick you up. What did they want with a trainee stablehand like you?”
Niall just smiled and resumed raking the hay. Phil seemed to want to ask more questions, but since he had already failed to get answers from Niall several times about this issue, he just kept it to himself.
Niall had previously mentioned accompanying a merchant to the north to repay his debt. When spring came and the merchant returned from the north, Niall was supposed to bring back the minerals he had imported with them to the central region.
Niall had also used that excuse during this war. Duke had urgently asked about the northern region where he had worked.
Most people chuckled at the sudden question about trade during the war, but since Duke had asked, there was nothing to say.
Phil found Niall’s excuse suspicious, but Niall remained ignorant. Unable to tell the truth, he just pushed forward with his forced excuse.
“I might need to go in a little earlier next Thursday, is that okay?”
“Of course. But what’s the matter?”
“My nephew is getting married.”
“That’s good news.”
“It’s not that simple. While you were away, something happened. My nephew, who just turned eighteen, got involved with the girl next door, who is the same age. Her parents barely managed to stop him from getting his head smashed in with a shovel.”
After hearing this, it couldn’t be considered good news. Niall’s face showed embarrassment.
“The problem is, they were both engaged to someone else. But they claim they’re in love and can’t separate. So, they decided to get married. On the day the girl was supposed to get married, they just changed the groom at the wedding venue. Thanks to that, we had to gather some money at our house to give to the girl’s original fiancé.”
“Well, that must have been quite a situation.”
“Since it was a marriage that had to be resolved anyway.”
Phil glanced briefly at Niall.
“By the way, Niall, don’t you have any thoughts of getting married?”
“Me? Haha.”
Niall laughed lightly and scratched the back of his neck.
“You’re what, twenty-two? Twenty-three? That’s a good age for it.”
“I’m twenty-eight, sir.”
“What? Twenty-eight?”
Phil was surprised and spat out the straw he was chewing on.
“You’re twenty-eight and still unmarried?”
“It just turned out that way.”
“Good Lord, the walls of Shiralund. Are all the women in the central region blind? How can someone like you still be unmarried at your age? Do you dislike central region women? Should I introduce you to some northern women?”
“It’s okay.”
Niall quickly shook his head and declined again before Phil could say anything else.
“I have no intention of getting married.”
“Well, still, Niall.”
“I really don’t. I’m not going to get married.”
Niall had already repeated such conversations many times. If left alone, people would tirelessly extol the benefits of marriage, endlessly discussing the happiness of having children and raising them.
But Niall had no desire to have children, especially not ones with his own blood.
“Are you really an Omega, Niall?”
“Excuse me?”
Niall’s eyes widened in surprise. After clearing his throat, Phil continued hesitantly.
“Well, the Chief of Staff said you haven’t even had your first kiss yet.”
Niall laughed in amazement. The rumor of him dripping nosebleeds after hearing lewd stories had somehow morphed into this. He had clearly said that he had his first kiss at thirteen, but apparently no one had heard.
“No, sir. I had my first kiss at thirteen.”
“Really? Was it with a pretty girl from the central region?”
“Um… no, it was with an Alpha. I don’t know his name.”
“Don’t lie. Even if you’ve never kissed before, it’s embarrassing, but kissing an Alpha? That’s something.”
“But it’s true. My first kiss was with a male Alpha when I was thirteen.”
“Were you dating?”
“No, he was a stranger.”
Niall’s face had a strangely cold expression as he spoke. Although his mouth was smiling as usual, his eyes were chilly.
Phil, a typical northern man, didn’t know how to respond to Niall’s reaction. He hesitated for a moment before ignoring Niall’s story and returning to the topic of marriage.
“Well… marriage is an experience too precious to pass by. I may be a widower with my wife dying early, but seeing my daughter marry and raise grandchildren brings me so much joy.”
Niall smiled gently. Looking at the sunset, he casually rested his arms on the plow and said.
“I’m not saying I’ll never do it. I don’t have any thoughts of it right now, but someday in the distant future, if I do…”
“Yeah, you should get married.”
“I want to be an Omega in my late thirties with a child. Whether it’s a son or a daughter… I want to raise a child. I want to live with an Omega husband with a child in our arms.”
