The Villain's End Is Pregnancy - c106
Count Seiden, Tom, is a proud alpha born into a prestigious family from a young age. As the sole heir of the family, he wielded all the privileges he should have enjoyed and had a high nose as well.
To him, there was a thorn in his side, his peer Allen Fitzroy. He was larger in size, a head taller, and most of all, it was bothersome that he was a dominant alpha with just a flashy appearance.
‘Hmph! But I’m a hundred times better than that simple, ignorant guy who can only use his head poorly and his body!’
What’s so good about such a muscle idiot that the king has been keeping Allen by his side since he was a prince? Unlike the guy who can only wield a sword, they looked so close that there were often sounds of misunderstanding between the two.
An even more absurd incident occurred when they became adults.
‘On top of that, he even served as a witness at the wedding!’
In what country does a royal member do such a preposterous thing! And at the wedding of a pathetic guy who welcomed a non-constitution wife at that.
Is that why? At some point, no matter what Earl Fitzroy did, it all started to feel bitter.
But when he found out that even the children to succeed him were falling to the children of the Fitzroy family, Tom’s pride was hurt.
‘What am I lacking compared to that guy that I have to suffer such humiliation!’
Although his omega had a bit of a nasty personality, in terms of appearance and constitution, she was not inferior to the Countess Fitzroy, who was just a beta. But why are his children just one beta and fervent omegas?
It doesn’t matter that Earl Fitzroy doesn’t have alpha children. Rather, if that were the case, it would be fine if there was a dominant omega who could capture the prince’s heart.
But the eldest, whom he barely managed to put by the prince’s side, eventually did not manifest, and the second, who became an omega, was doing nothing right, which was the problem.
‘How did I end up like this……’
In the end, because of the foolish actions of the incompetent eldest, the family was devastated, and his wife packed up her bags and went to her parents’ home with the second.
And now, hasn’t he become even worse off than a beggar on the street?
‘Isn’t this all because of those Fitzroy family bastards!’
He had been compared to Allen Fitzroy in every little thing since the past, and now his life has been ruined because of those children.
‘I won’t let this go.’
Count Seiden walked down the dirty, narrow alley, his eyes flashing. Considering the hardship of coming all the way to the royal capital, he should have had some gains.
But unfortunately, he had been wandering around without gaining anything so far. The first place he visited was the territory of Viscount Garigan.
Since it was difficult to enter the royal capital, he wanted to get his help, but he was chased away by the guard without even crossing the main gate.
After that, he visited some aristocrats he had been close with, but the results were the same.
“You think I’ll end like this?”
Driven by the repeated rebuffs, Count Seiden handed over all the jewels he had brought while escaping to the back alley guild and succeeded in infiltrating the royal capital.
The problem was that he had no money left and he was being chased, so he was wandering around remote places like this.
“But what should I do? What do I need to do……”
Having reached the end of the alley, Count Seiden couldn’t go any further and stood tightly against the wall, his legs shaking. He had just arrived at a place not far from the Fitzroy family.
But today, the surrounding vigilance seemed even more severe, so he couldn’t move recklessly.
“Let’s find a place to rest first.”
He hadn’t been able to properly rest, wash, eat, or sleep for two days while wandering the streets. To do anything, he needed to recover his strength, but the fact that he was penniless was holding him back.
There were public facilities that accommodated homeless people for a few days, but it didn’t even cross the mind of Count Seiden, whose pride as an aristocrat pierced the sky.
Should he try contacting Viscount Garigan again now, or should he endure until someone from that family comes out? While pondering this, suddenly four thugs swayed and surrounded Count Seiden.
“Hey, mister. Who said you could settle down here?”
“Right. Did you get anyone’s permission?”
“That’s right. If you want to do business on someone else’s turf, you need to report it in advance.”
The thugs smirked and mocked him.
“What are you bastards!”
Although Count Seiden exploded in anger, the thugs laughed at him instead.
“Huh? Look at this guy’s way of speaking. Just like an aristocrat?”
“He must have originally been a noble. But now he’s ruined and sitting on the streets.”
Rather, they started to recklessly hit his shoulders and arms while mocking him. It was clearly a provocative attitude to anyone’s eyes, and Count Seiden’s face hardened.
“I don’t care what you used to be, but if you want to beg here, you need to get our permission and pay a spot fee.”
“What?”
And only then did he realize that these thugs had mistaken him for a beggar.
“I am Count Seiden! You bastards are not someone who can act recklessly towards me!”
“Come to think of it, his clothes are a bit dirty, but the material seems high-quality too.”
The thugs looked at each other with sparkling eyes. Then they pounced on Count Seiden in an instant.
“Hey! You bastards!”
Surprised by the situation of his collar being grabbed and clothes being torn, Count Seiden shouted and tried to shake them off, but he only floundered helplessly as if he had fallen into a swamp.
“Let go. I won’t let you vulgar bastards get away with this!”
“You’ll have to get beaten up by those vulgar bastards to come to your senses.”
Smack.
With the sound, stars flashed in Count Seiden’s vision. Pain rushed to his cheek.
“Ugh… ugh!”
The arrogant aristocrat who had never been hit by anyone couldn’t grasp what was happening to him. Meanwhile, the thugs continued to rain down punches on him.
At the same time Count Seiden was being humiliated, Ryan got on the carriage with Hendrick.
“Baby, I guess we’ll only see each other at the wedding now.”
Catherine said with a very sad face. Behind her, other family members were also standing to see the two off.
“Take good care of your body, eat delicious things well. Be careful not to get sick or anything.”
At her entreaty, which was like his own mother’s, Ryan also nodded obediently.
“Yeah, Catherine. See you tomorrow.”
Finally, when the day breaks, the royal wedding will be held. Ryan had just finished dinner with the Fitzroy family on the last day and was about to return to the palace with Hendrick.
“Haa……”
As soon as the carriage started, Ryan slumped onto the seat. Although it was definitely a happy and enjoyable time, exhaustion dominated his entire body.
“Ryan, lie down here.”
Knowing his state, Hendrick tapped his thigh. Of course, there was no problem with lying down as the inside was spacious.
“It’s okay.”
However, Ryan refused.
“Aren’t you tired? I’ll wake you up when we arrive, so why don’t you sleep a little?”
“No. If I doze off sloppily, I might not be able to sleep well when I go. I’ll endure a little and lie down on the bed right away.”
“Still, rest a bit.”
Hendrick’s hand touched his shoulder. After hesitating for a moment, it didn’t seem like he should keep refusing, so he was about to lean on him when.
“Uh, whoa…!”
A flustered voice came from the coachman’s seat. Then, with a thud, the carriage stopped abruptly. The inside shook so much that Ryan fell into Hendrick’s arms in bewilderment.
“Ryan! Are you okay?”
He knew Hendrick was looking at him worriedly, but it took some time to answer because he was so dumbfounded.
“Ah, yeah… I’m fine.”
Ryan looked out the window, puzzled as to what on earth had happened. Then he saw the coachman getting off and walking somewhere.
“Thank goodness. I wonder what’s going on.”
Hendrick also seemed to have checked that side and made a puzzled expression.
“I know. What did he see?”
If an animal like a rat or cat had popped out, the coachman wouldn’t have gone as far as getting off. But seeing him completely leave his seat, it seemed that an unusual situation had occurred.
Then suddenly, a group of people came into view. At a glance, it could have looked like drunk pedestrians making a scene. Or it could have looked like a group trying to somehow take care of a drunken person.
They kept bowing and apologizing to the coachman, and also pressed the back of the head of the man who had become delirious and apologized on his behalf.
The coachman was furious for a while and then approached the carriage.
“Your Highness, I apologize. I had to stop suddenly because drunk people suddenly appeared next to the carriage.”
As expected, it seemed that heavily intoxicated people were the problem.
“I see. Let’s go now.”
Hendrick immediately lost interest in that side and gave the order. The coachman also seemed to have no intention of further arguing and returned to his seat.
“Huh?”
It was then that Ryan, who was casually looking at the drunks, made a sound.
“What’s wrong?”
“Did I see wrong?”
In the meantime, they were about to disappear into the alley.
“Do you see someone you know?”
“Well… it might not be…”
Still, just in case, should I say it? Ryan pondered and decided that it would be better to say it even if there was the slightest possibility.
“It’s nothing else, but you know the drunk who had his arms around the shoulders of two men earlier?”
“Yeah, what about those people?”
When Hendrick showed an attitude of wanting to hear more, Ryan made up his mind and opened his mouth.
“That drunk looked like Count Seiden.”
