Chapter 20: Flirt and Encounter (3)
Even if Arren was awake, he might not have had time to process the fact that he met one of the main characters because his entire focus would be on his Mister Investigator's true identity. Unfortunately, he was sleeping and thus missed the knowledge that he had unknowingly met two of the people he had avoided meeting his entire life and even flirted with one of them. Arren had a habit of falling asleep during crucial moments.
Spade nodded and said nothing more. He turned around and resumed his walk toward the elevator. His steps were swift but light, and his grip on Arren was firm. Many of his bodyguards dispersed, closely inspecting their surroundings.
He was aware that his leaving the palace would be discovered sooner, and that those with keener noses would have more information, such as his meeting an omega. It was only a matter of time, but Arren's identity would be kept hidden until Spade himself exposed him.
Outsiders would only know about rumors about an omega being involved with him, but not much else. He was relieved. Spade didn't want Arren to be exposed and embroiled in controversies just yet. The omega hadn't even discovered his true identity.
The hotel booked a presidential suite; it could have been the room reserved for the monarch, but that would be even more obvious, so Levin decided not to book it, which was a consideration for Spade's intentions to keep the matter hidden for as long as possible. Spade was content with his actions.
He knew he could trust Levin because he had never disappointed him, which was why he appointed him as his chief of the royal guard, despite speculation that he only did so because Levin was his cousin.
Spade needed to think and weigh his decisions as the Emperor, not just his personal opinions on occasion. If a family member was not qualified for the position, he would not appoint them, regardless of how his family recommended them. He had to be fair.
Spade emerged from the elevator, accompanied by some of his bodyguards. There were already a lot of bodyguards on the floor, but he didn't mind and just walked at his own pace. The bodyguards had already opened the door, and Spade walked in.
Spade didn't have time to look around the room because he was preoccupied with the omega sleeping in his arms. He strode off and walked to the bedroom, the king-sized bed being the first thing he saw upon entering and the only thing he looked at.
