Chapter 18: I WANT TO SEE LIU WEI
The meeting between Wang Zheng and Liu Wei had been on a Friday, the weekend was passing quickly for both of them and Sunday was about to come to an end.
The first phase of Bloody Spring was finally over and the second was approaching and a feast would mark its beginning.
The queen spent all of her Saturday and Sunday stuck in her office embroiled in matters related to the country. While Liu Wei has set aside the two days to sleep and rest, she is not a busy person and does not have official business to attend to. Her days are a little tedious and boring.
The princess was ready for the feast.
This time she wore a long black skirt with a sexy side slit and a white blouse that left her shoulders and arms exposed. High heels completed her look, she was extremely elegant and pretty.
She gently felt the beautiful diamond necklace around her neck.
She was very pleased with her outfit, she was sure the queen would definitely like it.
"Anna, we can go to the lounge now."
"Alright princess."
Anna helped Liu Wei out of the room and they calmly walked to the banquet site.
The young princess was a naturally beautiful woman, there was no one who was not enchanted by her beauty, but her pheromones are usually strong and she is in the estrus phase, some alphas can't even get close to her.
As a high level omega she was the perfect woman to conceive a child, but precisely because she is high level, few alphas can get close to her and omegas used to be very cautious as they usually have inferior pheromones in intensity.
Liu Wei was always closer to Betas, due to the weak effect of pheromones they always managed to get along better with the young omega.
Upon entering the hall Liu Wei could hear her footsteps echoing, everyone present seemed mesmerized by the beauty of the young woman mixed with the sweet mint flavor.
The alphas felt hungry and hot, even if they didn't dare approach Liu Wei, they could still feel the pheromone spread and make them restless.
Wang Zheng was already in the hall and she was watching the young omega's arrival in delight. Her heart raced and her mouth felt dry.
She felt in her heart that woman was her omega.
Liu Wei walked softly accompanied by Anna and her first act was to approach the queen and greet her.
"Liu Wei."
"Good evening your majesty."
The queen watches with a look filled with tenderness as Liu Wei takes her hand and kisses it.
The young princess always looked so respectful and classy. She sighed in her heart.
The young omega's hair was in a beautiful bun with a few loose strands that gently fell over her face. The queen in a subtle movement removed one of the locks causing Liu Wei to smile beautifully.
"How was your weekend?"
Liu Wei always had a smile accompanied by a confident and commanding posture, the shy and awkward girl the queen met at that afternoon tea was no longer there... Good thing she wasn't, she liked seeing Liu Wei dragging glances and smiles like that.
"I believe it would have been better if I had been in your company, your majesty…"
The queen could feel her face getting hot, she was shy. "I feel the same …"
Liu Wei observed the queen's completely empty hands and felt a slight strangeness, the queen always drank at those banquets and today it seemed she didn't.
"Your majesty does not intend to drink today?"
The eldest omega smiled and shook her head in the negative. "I have no such pretension today."
"I see."
The queen was avoiding drinking because she was in the middle of her estrus, her emotions were already unstable and her glands were always on a constant fire. She was even afraid of getting too close to Liu Wei and completely losing control.
Wang Zheng was making a strong effort not to dump her pheromone on Liu Wei at that moment, but she knew it would be very troublesome if she did so with so many alphas and omegas around.
A waiter passed by them carrying a tray with several glasses filled with champagne and Liu Wei took one for herself.
She gently soothed her throat and felt the alcohol slightly warm her stomach.
All the Bloody Spring participants were present at the banquet, the place was more crowded than the last time and much of this was due to the curious and visitors from other countries who were using the occasion to create diplomatic relations.
Bloody Spring was the main event among the continent's nations at that time. After all, it wasn't every day a queen would choose who she would marry in a competition.
Liu Wei watched the beautiful Yang Fan talking and laughing together with Li Zhang. She felt sour for a few seconds. "Li Zhang commented that you and Yang Fan are being talked about a lot as the kingdom's future couple."
The queen heard the young princess' comment and smiled in amusement. She was particularly fond of Liu Wei's jealous manner. "Oh really? And what do you think about this rumor?"
The young omega could hear the queen's funny tone and sighed. Was she being childish? He stared at her and was carried away by the sweet pineapple fragrance next to her. "I think I'm better than her."
The queen agreed. She really was so much better. "You truly are."
Liu Wei smiled shyly, feeling a little embarrassed at the queen's easy agreement. "Are you saying that to improve my mood?"
The queen smiled and walked over and touched the young omega's back briefly. "Would it work?"
"Maybe."
The queen was amused by the little princess's slightly childish manner. She had accepted it in her heart the moment she realized she was in love with a girl almost ten years younger than her. She would be patient and would do her best to understand it.
The queen took advantage of the proximity to touch the young omega's waist gently. "Yang Fan is really fun, but she's not the one who lives in my thoughts."
"... and who is it?"
The queen approaches Liu Wei and whispered. Her slurred, velvety voice made Liu Wei tremble.
"You."
The little princess laughed in satisfaction, the queen really knew how to pamper her.
Anna slowly approached the young princess while watching the still unofficial couple talking in a simple naturalness, the queen and princess appeared to be a couple that had been together for a long time, there was a subtle intimacy and lightness between them and their gestures.
The beta felt a little fearful, they didn't try to hide that they were getting closer and closer and Anna feared that Liu Wei was being exposed to people's bad intentions too easily... The opportunity to be the one who would marry the queen made many try to fight tooth and nail for this opportunity.
What would they be willing to do to get Liu Wei out of their way?
Liu Wei noticed Anna's proximity and soon felt her whisper in her ear. She listened attentively and smiled at what she had heard. "She's here?"
Anna smiled gently. "Yea."
The queen noticed the princess's excitement and felt curious… What had Anna said?
Liu Wei seemed to be looking for someone and quickly smiled satisfied, she had found who she was looking for. She looked at the queen and politely walked away. "Excuse me, Your Majesty..."
"Make yourself comfortable."
The queen felt uncomfortable, she didn't want Liu Wei to walk away, but it wasn't like she could do anything to stop it.
She watched Liu Wei gradually walk away and sighed, the girl looked really pretty today. Her glands were burning uncontrollably! She sighed heavily.
Not far from there, Chen Fu watched Liu Wei walk away from the queen and took advantage of the situation to approach and in a quick movement checked that his suit was in perfect condition on his body and smiled smugly.
He walked slowly towards the queen and as he approached he could smell the sweet smell of pineapple, the pheromone was getting stronger and this soon made him understand that very soon she would be in estrus.
"Your Majesty…"
Chen Fu's presence still seemed unpalatable to the queen, she just hated that fishy smell. She couldn't think clearly when she was in his presence, the only reasonable thing for her to do was find an excuse to be away from the alpha.
The man was happily talking about some topic that the queen didn't know what it was because she hadn't paid attention to what he was saying, she now kept her eyes focused on Liu Wei who was on the other side of the hall.
Wang Zheng heard the sound of Chen Fu's laughter and smiled in agreement, even though she didn't know why he was laughing,
The queen while talking to Chen Fu observed a woman surreptitiously approaching Liu Wei, they whispered to each other amid smiles and hugs.
She didn't know who the girl was, she only knew that the young alpha was the heir to the throne of some other neighboring country… They talked so intimately that Wang Zheng couldn't control the sour feeling in her heart.
"Excuse me..." The queen desperately needed some alcohol.
She couldn't stand talking to Chen Fu and being jealous of Liu Wei sober.
With quick steps she looked for one of the waiters carrying glasses full of liquor and grabbed two for herself. The first glass she drank at once, which startled Huan Yang who was watching her a little far away, which made him approach immediately. Something was making the queen extremely dissatisfied.
"Something bothers the queen?"
"Can you tell me who is that alpha?"
"It's her first time in our palace, her name is Qui Mei, Princess of Shanyr Islands..."
"I see."
The queen feels a little angry.
Wang Zheng approaches his secretary and whispers in his ear, "Go quietly to Anna and tell her to let her know that I want to see Liu Wei. I'll be waiting in the same place where we talked at the last banquet."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
