The Villain's End Is Pregnancy - c99
Was it because he had heard Ryan’s wish before falling asleep?
“Did you sleep well?”
Ryan, who had drowsily lifted his eyelids, unconsciously smiled at the gentle voice he heard.
“Mm… When did you come?”
“Just a while ago.”
“You should have woken me up.”
Instead of answering, Hendrick reached out and caressed Ryan’s warm and soft cheek. The feeling was so nice that Ryan’s head moved towards it.
After chatting about this and that for a while to shake off the drowsiness, Ryan sat face to face with Hendrick, ate a meal, and drank tea.
In the meantime, the sun had completely set, and the surroundings turned dark.
“Then Ryan, shall we go?”
As if it was time, Hendrick held out his hand. Ryan, who had been pondering when would be a good time to suggest going anyway, immediately got up from his seat and held Hendrick’s hand.
“Yeah, let’s go.”
The two firmly interlocked their fingers and left the prince’s palace. The reason for going out at this hour was to see Liam.
And before long, Ryan’s face became a little stiff with tension in front of a dim building. Come to think of it, this was the first time he had visited such a facility, whether in his past life or current life.
That’s why it felt particularly eerie and ominous. If he had been told to stay in a place like this even for a day, he would have immediately confessed to all his sins.
“Ryan, are you okay?”
As Ryan shivered, he felt Hendrick’s gaze checking on him.
“Ah, yeah.”
Ryan tried hard to relax his expression.
‘If Hendrick hadn’t stepped up and cleared my name, the one inside would have been me, not Liam.’
In that case, all that would have been left for him was the worst ending, like in the original story. He would save his life but be exiled to a faraway place, live miserably, and eventually contract an illness and end his life.
“Shall we go tomorrow?”
“No. Let’s go in.”
Hendrick probably thought Ryan was hesitating since he wasn’t moving. At his kind words that they could postpone meeting Liam for another day if Ryan wanted, Ryan shook his head and firmly grasped Hendrick’s hand before taking a step.
The two passed the saluting guards and went inside. Unlike the exterior, the interior felt brighter and cleaner than expected.
“Gasp, wow, Your Highness. You’re here!”
After walking along the brightly lit corridor for a while, they encountered a thick iron door, and the guard standing in front of it greeted them.
“While Ryan talks to the prisoner, I’ll just be watching.”
The guard glanced at Ryan standing next to Hendrick.
‘I heard His Highness cherishes and adores him so much that he proposed in front of all the nobles. Turns out it was true.’
The incident of Ryan being framed that occurred a few days ago at a gathering of the king and many nobles had already spread widely within the palace.
However, what the palace people were most enthusiastic about was none other than Hendrick’s public proposal.
Not only did the kingdom’s only heir personally clear his omega’s false charges, but he also drove the point home to everyone that Ryan would be his partner to get married and live with from now on.
Wasn’t it the romance of the century? Although the higher-ups might not know, there were even novels circulating among the palace people using that incident as a topic.
Seeing the protagonist in person was both amazing and exciting. They wanted to quickly tell someone about today’s encounter.
“Th-then I’ll guide you.”
The guard quickly opened the closed iron door to hide his sparkling eyes.
Screech.
Ryan didn’t have the capacity to pay attention to the guard. When a narrower and dimmer corridor appeared, he became tense again.
As if understanding his feelings, Hendrick gently stroked the back of his hand.
“Say everything you want to say. It’s okay even if you do.”
“Okay.”
After receiving encouragement, Ryan felt the realization that he was with a reliable ally. As he relaxed his slightly stiffened face, the guard pointed to a place saying it was over there.
A cell with thick bars came into view. Ryan took a deep breath and let go of their interlocked hands.
“I’ll be back.”
After taking another deep breath, Ryan approached the bars with Hendrick as his escort.
“Liam.”
When Ryan called his name, Liam, who had been sitting with his head between his knees, abruptly looked up.
“Why are you here?”
Liam stuck to the bars and snapped at him fiercely.
“Why? Did you come to see what state I’m in?”
Liam’s appearance, gripping the bars with both hands, was a mess. His hair was completely disheveled, and his complexion was haggard.
It seemed he had suffered a lot mentally in the past two days.
“I’m not curious about why you did that to me.”
“Acting all high and mighty until the end, Ryan.”
But it wasn’t a lie. The reason Ryan came here today wasn’t to confront Liam about why he had slandered him.
That’s why, despite Liam’s cold sneer, Ryan firmly said what he wanted to say.
“I just came to give you a chance to apologize for what you’ve done to me so far.”
“Ha? Apologize? What did I do wrong?”
“Hmm, I had a feeling, but I was right.”
Even though they had known each other for a while, Ryan thought Liam might feel sorry, but it seemed that wasn’t the case.
If that’s how you’re going to be.
Ryan crossed his arms and looked straight at Liam.
“I’m saying this as a senior who has lived a similar life to you, so listen carefully.”
“What?”
“If you want to save your life, it’s better to confess everything truthfully without making lame excuses. That way, you’ll live, and your family won’t be wiped out.”
As someone who had read the original story before possessing the villainous omega, Ryan hoped Liam would appreciate this advice that would be good for him.
So that he wouldn’t follow in the footsteps of Ryan, who had been a villainous omega.
Although Liam had done things to him, they had known each other for a long time. Even if Liam thought it was insincere, it couldn’t be helped.
Ryan wanted to get rid of the unsettling feeling in his heart.
That way, he felt he could move forward with Hendrick in a lighthearted manner.
“Hey! Ryan, you shameless bastard. What did you say? Huh? What did you say? Why? Do you think you’ve won? Huh? Do you think I’ll end like this? Do you think my father will stay still?!”
Ryan heard Liam shouting something angrily from behind, but he didn’t look back. In any case, Liam was no longer someone he would be concerned about. Then he pondered whether he should tell Liam one more thing.
‘Should I tell him that Count Seiden won’t be able to help him because he’ll be busy trying to save himself?’
According to Hendrick, the king’s anger towards Count Seiden was tremendous. Because as they investigated, his accumulated misdeeds kept pouring out endlessly.
Until now, the king had turned a blind eye to the nobles’ corruption and unjust enrichment to some extent in order to maintain a good relationship with them.
‘But if he’s so angry, just how much did Count Seiden do?’
This is why people should be moderately greedy. Ryan, too, eventually tried to live according to his means, so he was able to change his predetermined fate.
‘Ah, is this a different case?’
As Ryan tilted his head, he heard someone calling him.
“If you’re done, shall we go now?”
Hendrick was holding out his hand as if telling Ryan to come to him.
“It’s not good for your body to stay in a dark and cold place for long. Let’s go and drink some warm tea and rest.”
At his kind words, the thought that Ryan had something to tell Liam naturally dispersed from his mind.
“Yeah, let’s go back.”
What did it matter anyway? He had someone more precious to him than anyone else. Ryan quickened his pace and approached his alpha. He was about to hold Hendrick’s hand, but long arms wrapping around his waist came first.
“What?”
When Ryan looked at him in disbelief, Hendrick rather made a face as if asking what the problem was.
“You’re tired. You’ll be exhausted from standing for a long time. So let’s go like this.”
No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like a ploy. It was a problem if Hendrick’s actions seemed cute to him these days.
Because in the end, Ryan would do as Hendrick wished.
“…Okay, then.”
Ryan sneakily averted his eyes and nodded. His ears felt hot and his cheeks seemed flushed, but he thought Hendrick wouldn’t notice since the surroundings weren’t bright.
“Why are you being shy?”
It seemed he was wrong. Warm breath touched his ear. The ticklish sensation made his neck shrink instinctively.
“Wh-what are you doing!”
Ryan was startled and quickly pulled his head back. Then he spotted the guard standing with his mouth wide open and hurriedly turned his gaze away.
“Ah, seriously Hendrick. I can’t live because of you.”
“That can’t happen. My child is in your belly, and I can’t live without you either.”
“Wow! How can you say such things so casually?”
Seriously, what’s wrong with him? His face was brazen even after saying such cheeky things without being affected at all. Was this really his original personality?
Where did the mature and dignified ultra-dominant alpha prince he used to think of go?
“So don’t say such things even as a joke.”
Hendrick finally kissed Ryan’s ear with a smacking sound and naturally started leading him to walk.
“Now let’s go. To our palace.”
The guard was dumbfounded by the display of affection in front of him, and in the cold prison, Liam was still shouting in resentment and anger, but it was already of no concern to the alpha who had taken care of his omega.
* * *
Perhaps he should have anticipated something like this would happen.
“Mmph, mmm, mmph…!”
As soon as they entered the bedroom, Hendrick pressed his body close and soon followed with a kiss so rushed that it seemed like he would devour Ryan.
Of course, Ryan also actively moved with his arms wrapped around Hendrick’s firm neck, changing angles back and forth.
“Haa, Ryan. You’re so sexy.”
Through the gap between their parted lips, Ryan heard Hendrick’s words mixed with laughter. He also playfully rubbed Ryan’s flushed cheek with his thumb.
“You were the one who pounced first.”
Ryan glared at him as if asking why he was pretending otherwise now.
“Yeah, right. I couldn’t help it because you’re too pretty and sexy.”
In the end, it’s all my fault. As Ryan’s lips protruded forward, Hendrick promptly bit them like an eagle snatching its prey.
“Ah!”
A low moan escaped through the gap where Hendrick’s tongue pushed in. However, it soon turned into lewd friction sounds as their wet breaths and two flesh intermingled.
The two, who had become one body, constantly explored each other’s mouths and tongues while slowly retreating backward. The inside was moderately dim and cozy. That’s why they unrestrictedly took each other’s breaths and saliva. As Ryan was kissing Hendrick as if entranced, they eventually reached near the large bed.
By then, Hendrick measured the distance with his eyes and moved Ryan so he could lie on the bed without getting hurt, but Ryan couldn’t even process that fact.
“Haa… We can’t put it in yet, right?”
Hendrick expressed his regret while constantly pressing his lips against Ryan’s mouth, chin, and bridge of his nose. Ryan bit Hendrick’s lower lip and released it, whispering:
“They said it’s okay if we do it moderately.”
As he whispered, Hendrick’s eyes widened. His mouth was slightly open, and Ryan’s heart fluttered foolishly again at the sight.
He saw Hendrick’s gaze dropping straight down in an instant.
“Ryan, don’t tempt me. I really don’t think I can hold back.”
He heard the sound of Hendrick swallowing his saliva.
“I said don’t hold back.”
Ryan’s hand moved slowly. Even with the light touch, Hendrick closed his eyes tightly and then opened them, letting out a groan.
At the urging that was deeper and more blatant than words, the color of Hendrick’s eyes darkened.
“Getting this excited. Why are you taking it off?”
“I’m going crazy, seriously. Ryan, why do you say such sexy things? Where did you even learn to say such things?”
Hendrick, who had finally given in, slipped his hand under Ryan’s disheveled top. He stroked Ryan’s lower back, fumbled between the concave vertebrae, and slyly wandered around the tailbone area.
It felt like the bedroom’s temperature, which had been providing a comfortable warmth, had instantly risen.
“Are you in the mood to do it now?”
When Ryan asked provocatively, the answer was a kiss. Hendrick was so rough that it felt burdensome to keep up with his breathing.
However, Ryan didn’t stop Hendrick or back away either. After all, he was just as heated up.
For a very brief moment, the child in his belly came to mind, but it also quickly evaporated with the hand movements rubbing and kneading his chest and the pressure pressing down on his lower body.
‘Sorry, Jadu. I’ll do it moderately.’
Of course, he didn’t forget to apologize.
