REBIRTH OF THE OMEGA BRIDE のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

Chapter 72: DATE NIGHTFiona’s POVI chose one of my floral gowns and a simple pair of sandals for the evening. I was never really one of those princesses who spent hours worrying about makeovers, elaborate hairstyles, or trying to look perfect for every occasion. I had always been rather nonchalant about my appearance, mostly because I felt the most comfortable when I was simply being myself. Tonight was no different, even though the thought of meeting Dorian for our first date had my stomach doing strange little flips.I packed my hair into a simple ponytail, checked myself once in the mirror, and decided that was enough. I wasn’t trying to impress the Lycan King with some version of myself that didn’t exist. If Dorian was truly interested in getting to know me, then I wanted him to meet Fiona as she was, not some overly polished princess dressed to impress him.By the time the sun began disappearing beyond the horizon, I made my way toward the palace gardens. I was still wondering

Lilian’s POV I barely slept that night. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Fiona walking beside Dorian through the palace, their hands joined as though they had forgotten the rest of the world existed. I kept trying to convince myself that it was nothing more than one innocent evening in the gardens, but the image refused to leave my mind. The way Dorian looked at her had not been innocent, and neither had the comfort Fiona seemed to feel in his presence. I knew I had to speak to Rex before his thoughts became consumed with everything else we had planned. I needed him focused, and more importantly, I needed him to understand that Fiona and Dorian becoming closer could destroy everything we had spent so much time building. If he continued believing that the future was already secured, he would never see the danger approaching until it was too late. The following morning, I made my way toward Rex’s chambers and knocked softly. When he opened the door and saw me standing there, surpr

Alpha Ambrose’s POVInspector Dan had been secretly investigating things around the palace for days, and although I had not told anyone about the full extent of his investigation, I trusted him enough to know that he would not come to me without something worth reporting. There had been too many strange occurrences lately, too many things that refused to make sense when placed together, and the death of Sam had only made the uneasiness around the palace worse.I was in my study going through several reports when a quiet knock sounded against the door. I looked up from the documents in front of me and immediately knew who it was. Dan entered after I gave him permission, closing the door carefully behind him before approaching my desk.“Alpha,” he greeted in a low voice.I studied his face. “What have you found?”He placed a small file on my desk but didn’t immediately open it. “There are inconsistencies in some of the reports surrounding Prince Sam’s death. I have been following severa

Fiona’s POVAs I opened the doors to the council chamber, I found Lilian and Rex already seated among the elders, waiting for us to arrive. The moment Lilian saw me, her attention fixed on me, and I noticed the brief change in her expression before she quickly composed herself. I didn’t acknowledge it. Instead, I walked into the chamber with my head held high and made my way toward the center of the hall, where every member of the council could see me clearly.“My council of elders, good afternoon. I’m honored to be summoned by such a distinguished committee,” I said, allowing my voice to carry across the room. “You summoned me, and I am here to answer to that summons.”The elders exchanged glances. They had clearly expected a more subdued response from me, especially considering the nature of the summons. I knew they had been told something about Dorian and me, and I had no intention of standing before them like a guilty child waiting to be reprimanded. I had done nothing wrong, and

Fiona’s POV“Before this court, I would like the prince and Lilian to publicly acknowledge and come to an agreement on what their plan had been from the beginning when the prince approached me. I know he never had genuine intentions toward me, and I know what those plans and intentions were. However, since he has publicly acknowledged his feelings for Lilian, I would like to preserve his honor and respect by allowing him to acknowledge them himself before this court.”My words immediately drew the attention of everyone in the court toward Rex and Lilian. Neither of them seemed prepared for the request, although I wasn’t surprised by their reaction. I had deliberately given Rex the opportunity to speak for himself because I didn’t want to humiliate him by revealing everything before the court when he had already admitted that his heart belonged to Lilian.“I don’t know what she is talking about,” Lilian said immediately.Her response came so quickly that several members of the court lo
