The Emperor's Omega Is An Extra
Chapter 192: Wake Up

Chapter 192: Wake Up

Arren watched Spade sleep for about an hour, observing his condition and even occasionally touching his forehead as he embraced the alpha. Fortunately, Spade really slept peacefully this time and did not just close his eyes.

He stayed like that because he was still guarding against something unexpected. Arren wasn’t sure if the alpha could also have a nightmare during his fever, as he always did, especially with the problems that were in Spade’s mind.

Only after an hour, when the alpha was really only sleeping, could Arren finally sigh in relief. However, he also wasn’t sleepy yet. He decided to bring back the plates first in the kitchen after making sure that Spade was still sleeping soundly.

Arren successfully got up from the bed without waking up the alpha, and with the tray in his hand, he left the room and hurriedly made his way to the kitchen.

It was already midnight, and the Katz Mansion was supposed to be in its evening tranquility, but almost the whole mansion was still brightly lit. As he stepped through the stairs, Arren noticed that it was really bustling with more activity than usual.

There were still servants awake, and the royal guards were more alert and in their best positions. He knew the reason without asking them; not only was the monarch staying in the mansion, but he was even sick, so it was normal.

They noticed him climbing down the stairs, and aside from someone who approached him to take the tray from his hand, no one really bothered him. He nodded, they were indeed elites.

He didn’t even notice them for long as his eyes immediately landed on the man sitting in the living room, it was his father.

"Dad," he called softly as he stepped closer to the Duke. Arren wasn’t really surprised to see that his father was still awake at this time. Duke Katz acknowledged him by glancing and nodding his head at him.

Arren already noticed that before his father, two people sat with him: Mr.Ivo and Rave. It seemed there was also a late-night meeting happening in the living room.

He didn’t want to leave Spade for too long, as he didn’t know the alpha could sense when his presence was gone. However, he still wanted to lighten the mood between them. After all, the two were their guests.

A smile appeared on his lips as he stood beside his father. "What is this meeting all about, huh?" he joked, ending it with an unserious chuckle.

He easily caught the attention of the three. Actually, with his presence, it was even harder to talk about something serious. Regarding his father’s opinion of Mr. Ivo or whether their relationship was good or bad since his mother was also a part of the organization, Arren had no intention of involving himself in it.

It was both of their problems to resolve. Although he had to be biased, even though Mr. Ivo helped him, Arren would always be on his father’s side no matter what. He glanced at Rave, smiling inwardly, the same way the white-haired omega would side with his father all the time.

His father was the first to react; the Duke laughed and shook his head. "It’s nothing, son. I only want to talk with our guests and make them comfortable, that’s our responsibility as a host."

The corner of Arren’s mouth twitched; his smile almost faded, but he managed to maintain his mischievous smile.

’I’m sure they’re not that comfortable, Dad.’ he inwardly complained and refuted, but of course, he wouldn’t say it out loud and had to laugh and play along with his father.

"Of course, Dad." he laughed, looking at the two with some sympathy in his eyes, as he couldn’t help them to his dad since he would come back in his room right away. He knew, his father wasn’t one of the Dukes for nothing, he was also one of the old foxes of the empire.

Arren was about to ask for permission to leave when his father beat him to it.

"Son, we’re fine here. You can come back now and accompany His Majesty." The Duke urged him, there was a light of worry in his eyes. The Duke was no less surprised than Arren when he found out after coming home that Spade was sick.

He never encountered a sick Spade before, not only because the alpha was never sick before during the past few years but also because Spade hid them really well and didn’t make a big deal out of it.

"But, is His Majesty’s condition getting better? If not, we need to rush him to the hospital immediately." The Duke’s voice was filled with worry, he was not only a father-in-law, but even more so a loyal subject of the crown.

Arren couldn’t even find any opening as his father went on, he only laughed it off and rubbed his father’s back. "Don’t worry, Dad. Spade’s already sleeping, he seems to be getting better. I’ll monitor him well," he promised. After assuring his father, only Arren left them and said goodbye to the three.

He glanced at them one last time, arching his brow, before landing on Rave as they made eye contact. He narrowed his eyes and sneakily mouthed at him.

"Share," he said. Rave averted his eyes, but he tilted his head and nodded casually. Arren smiled at that before he went on his way.

Both omegas didn’t have any agreement beforehand, but they had the same thought, at least with the same goal. Since no one wanted to say anything to them, why couldn’t they find out about it on their own? It sounds like a reckless move, something Arren was good at... and Rave might not look like it, but his decisiveness to do something was sometimes another way of being reckless.

Who knew what trouble these two would cause in the coming days? But for now, Arren has fully focused again on his alpha.

When Arren returned to his room, Spade was still sleeping and in the same position that Arren had left him earlier, so he had not moved once. He approached the bed, touching the alpha’s forehead. As he felt the hot skin, he still couldn’t help but frown.

He sighed and went to change the water in the basin before he put another damp towel on the alpha’s forehead. Arren couldn’t sleep that night, and he was only observing Spade. The doctor also visited a few times and checked Spaade’s temperature a few times before injecting him with medicine.

Not once did Spade wake up; Arren never bothered him. After all, Spade really needed sleep. And during those few hours, the alpha’s temperature really did go down quite a lot, although he still had a fever.

Arren never thought that Spade, who didn’t wake up that night, would still not wake up for two days straight. And it was now his time to be the one who worried to death for his lover, waiting for him to wake up.

Since Spade didn’t want to be admitted to the hospital, Arren let him stay in his room instead, and the doctors monitored his condition. During these two days, the security in the mansion increased.

Fortunately, no one had yet suspected that something was wrong with Spade, and he was there spending his precious time with his lover before coming back to his duties, as everyone had already gotten used to the emperor’s disappearance nowadays.

However, it wouldn’t be long before someone became suspicious if Spade hadn’t yet woken up, especially those spies for the organization.

It had already been three days since Spade had fallen asleep. Arren sat beside his bed, holding the alpha’s hand and playing with his fingers. He had a bored expression on his face, but mostly he was waiting for his alpha to wake up.

"Spade, when will you wake up? Have you had enough sleep yet?" he began to call the alpha once more, complaining but at the same time hoping for him to wake up as well.

Spade didn’t have a fever anymore, and in fact, the doctors that were stationed in the mansion didn’t know why he was still sleeping as there was nothing wrong with his vitals anymore and he was fine. Yet he was sleeping and in a coma, so he wasn’t that ’completely’ fine in Arren’s opinion.

One only said that Spade was only truly sleeping because of the mental exhaustion that he went through during the past few days, and Arren could only believe the reasoning of the professionals. He also thought of what had happened to him before, so it wasn’t entirely impossible.

He pouted as he looked at Spade’s face, which was so handsome, even more so because he was sleeping peacefully. The dominance was still shown in his face, but it was much more gentle this time.

Arren pouted, "Are you getting back at me for always sleeping without knowing when I will wake up, Spade? Is that it?" he complained. He wasn’t that serious with these sentiments, but he was bored. At the same time, he now understood how Spade felt when he was suddenly in a coma. Although, sometimes his condition was more complicated.

His gaze was now fixed on their interlocking fingers as he played them, sometimes counting Spade’s fingers. He went on with his grumbles and complaints.

"Spade, wake up, please? I promise... ah, no, I’ll try to behave myself, I won’t take my emotions out on you anymore. So please... can you---" Arren had yet to finish when a chuckle suddenly rang, it was hoarse but truly sexy.

His eyes widened, and he raised his head. Instantly, his eyes met those amber pupils that he had not seen for three days.

"S-Spade..." he trailed off, still in shock.

Spade smiled at him, squeezing his hand at the same time. There was no need for words; it was already enough to say... I’m now awake, Arren.
