Chapter 126 - 3.66 Bring Him To Me
Lu Yizhou blinked. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Innocent Oliver, kind and naive Oliver, he might still have a long way to go until he could fully understand Lu Yizhou. If he had the slightest idea of what length Lu Yizhou could go through just to keep him safe, maybe he would be disgusted with him right now. Terrified, even.
He wasn’t willing to burst Oliver’s bubble so he only hugged him tighter and placed his palm on the omega’s belly. Oliver almost immediately melted in his arms. A blissful sigh escaped his lips as he snuggled closer. Lu Yizhou rubbed his thumb along the bulging surface. He knew that Oliver loved it when he did this.
It was at that moment that Lu Yizhou’s communicator beeped. Derek was on the other side of the line. "Your Highnesses." The Beta blatantly ignored the suggestive position that the two beastmen were in. Well, he had seen worse before.
"Is there something wrong?" Lu Yizhou asked, not having the slightest intention to move. Oliver purred into his neck, tail swishing back and forth, satisfied with his decision. Unfortunately, Lu Yizhou wasn’t pleased that his time with Oliver was interrupted. Derek clearly knew that fact and him choosing this exact time to contact Lu Yizhou meant that something important had happened.
"I apologize for intruding on your private time. I have urgent news to report." Upon receiving Lu Yizhou’s nod, Derek continued. "The evidence to convict Rosemane and Ryan of their crimes have been verified by the court. The judge will decide on Princess Rosemane’s punishment soon and we can now officially request for an arrest warrant to hunt Ryan down." After the bombing incident, Ryan had managed to slip away and vanish without a trace. The Elite Guards at that time had suffered some serious consequences for going against Peter and their number had dwindled down. On the other hand, it was difficult for Versatine’s soldiers to act as it wasn’t their place to interfere lest they could cause some serious breach of authority. With the official statement from the court, Lu Yizhou could finally order his men to move.
"Bring him to me." Lu Yizhou commanded. "Alive."
Derek saluted. "Aye, Your Highness!"
It took another month for Ryan to be caught and at the same time, the punishment for Princess Rosemane’s crime was pronounced: she would receive the death punishment by execution, just like Oliver did in the original plot. The time was set to be a month later.
