I feel stupid [new version]

...

Liu Wei walked elegantly towards the open space, making it seem like nothing major was about to happen, but in reality, she felt anxiety pressing against her chest, and the air seemed thinner.

Her body trembled, and her heart beat faster and faster.

Even though she had just had such an unpleasant conversation with Chen Fu, the mere fact that she could finally be alone with the queen again made any bad feelings vanish.

The queen watched the movement near the door, leaning against the wall, and soon caught the familiar scent of mint. She prepared to pull Liu Wei by the arm.

The movement was a bit abrupt, startling Liu Wei, but there was no time for reaction, and before she knew it, they were pressed against each other in a small, dark place hidden behind the palace.

They could both feel each other's heavy breath against their skin.

Hot.

They looked like outlaws... The tension added to the excitement of the moment, the risk of being caught at any second.

So dangerous and thrilling. Liu Wei could feel her legs shaking.

Wang Zheng could now take a close look at the woman she had spent the night watching.

Her heart was troubled and nervous.

Liu Wei, in one simple movement, took a small sip of the wine she had carried with her. Luckily, she didn't spill all of it when the queen pulled her, but the contents of the cup were still intact.

"You brought wine..."

The little princess gently smiled. "Yeah, I said we'd drink together when we were alone."

The queen smiled at the gesture. "Yes…" She looked on edge. She tried to hide in the other omega's embrace, those feelings were so new to her... she had always been safe and confident in everything, but why did she feel so helpless when others approached Liu Wei?

The queen was so sensitive and emotional, her heart felt torn apart, and a strong feeling of disappointment hovered over her senses.

On the other hand, for Liu Wei, it was very strange to see the woman in front of her showing all her frailty like that. She could feel the heavy breath against her chest, the sweet smell of pineapple.

All of this made her glands burn.

She felt like she was going crazy for this woman.

The queen briefly raised her head and took the cup from Liu Wei's hand.

Without delay, she drank half of the contents in one gulp. Soon after, she placed the delicate glass in a small space on the wall, close to where they were leaning. It was probably once a window, but with time, it had lost its use and ended up being sealed.

Wang Zheng pressed her body even more against Liu Wei's, their noses brushed, and they were intoxicated by the pineapple-mint tangle that surrounded them.

When their lips finally touched, they could feel their bodies lighten, and their hearts quicken.

The kiss started out delicate and gentle, but their confused and heavy feelings made their movements grow stronger and more conflicting.

 It was a tangle of tongues and teeth that made them lose their breath.

The sweet taste of the wine made the kiss even more delicious and lustful.

They knew that the excess of intimacy and desire was leading them down a path of no return. But Liu Wei and Wang Zheng wanted to dive headfirst and freefall.

The air became scarce, and they reluctantly had to stop the kiss to breathe. Even the small distance of inches felt huge, their breaths slamming against each other's faces.

Liu Wei could see the confusion on the queen's face. Her heart felt heavy.

She wanted to comfort her and soothe her.

In a childish act, the queen placed her face on Liu Wei's chest. She closed her eyes and sighed. She was so embarrassed. She was dying of jealousy, and it felt so stupid to feel that way. She was so irrational, so childish.

Liu Wei, realizing the queen's frustration, decided it would be better not to say anything. Instead, she stayed quiet and gently caressed the black strands of the person she longed for.

"I'm feeling jealous for the first time."

Wang Zheng didn't move, keeping her face hidden as she hugged Liu Wei. The muffled voice seemed to resonate throughout the princess's body.

Liu Wei was surprised. "Jealousy? About me?"

The queen just nodded. "Who was that alpha you were talking to?"

Liu Wei paused for a second to think, then answered. She found it funny. "My cousin."

Wang Zheng was silent for a few seconds, then sighed heavily. She felt so wrong and so small confessing that feeling. To make matters worse, it was embarrassing.

"I feel stupid."

Liu Wei was surprised and happy. But seeing the queen so vulnerable bothered her enough that she couldn't celebrate the small victory.

She touched the queen's chin, lifting it slightly. They needed to have their gazes connected. "Look at me."

Wang Zheng obediently followed the movement, her gaze unwavering for a second as they now faced each other.

"You're not stupid..." Liu Wei leaned toward Wang Zheng's ear and whispered, "If you're going to be jealous of someone, be jealous of me... Understand?"

The queen felt her legs shake, and her body seemed to lose all strength after hearing those words.

Liu Wei tightened the grip between them and gripped the other omega's waist more tightly.

Her voice was hoarse, almost muted. "I want you to be jealous only of me, it's not stupid... I want everything you can offer me."

The queen shivered, feeling Liu Wei's hot breath on her neck. Her exposed skin was on fire, and if she'd ever felt sensitive before, now she could feel her body throbbing.

Wang Zheng, who was previously upset by her jealousy, now had to deal with the torture of being so close to Liu Wei. Her glands were hot and burning.

The sweet taste of mint, combined with the alcohol in the wine, only intensified her intoxication.

They kissed more and more.

Muffled moans could be faintly heard. They were reaching the limit.

Liu Wei gently pulled the queen away from her.

They were breathless and flushed. Restless hands didn't know where to land.

She sighed. She wanted more, but it wouldn't be possible now. She understood that she needed to earn her own space in Wang Zheng's heart, and there was still a competition to be played.

"You are the queen; it is impossible not to notice your absence. Come back."

Wang Zheng didn't like the idea of moving away from Liu Wei, but she agreed that the other was right. She couldn't afford to disappear for so long and leave her guests completely alone.

"Is that you?"

"Looks nice here, I'll stay a few minutes." Liu Wei was extremely blushing and unconsciously touched her glands. She needed to calm down before entering... The queen blushed upon noticing her state.

Wang Zheng gently approached and gave Liu Wei one last kiss, sweet and calm.

They parted, and the queen avoided looking back. She feared she wouldn't be able to return to the hall if she did, only hearing the husky voice of the young omega.

"Drink something cold, your lips are swollen."

The queen turned her face slightly toward the direction Liu Wei was facing and nodded her head positively.

Upon entering the lounge again, she went straight to the drinks table, took a glass of water, and filled it with ice cubes.

She was hot too.

She could smell the mint clinging to her clothes. Sweet.

Liu Wei, after some time, returned to the party and could watch the queen talk quietly with some guests.

She continued drinking and talking to Anna while waiting for the time to return to her room.

The young omega watched the queen finally bid her guests farewell and leave the banquet with Huan Yang.

She sighed inwardly. She could still feel the burning in her glands, and those feelings were starting to get uncontrollable.

Liu Wei also decided to return to her room. She felt she needed a good shower and a peaceful night's sleep.

Huan Yang could see the blush on the queen's face and soon noticed that, from the amount of pheromone, the queen was in estrus.

Wang Zheng's estrus used to be very light and quiet.

The queen had no major problems, but this time she seemed to be feverish and anxious.

He couldn't help but feel worried.

"Your majesty, do you want inhibitors?"

She shook her head negatively. "I want you to ask Liu Wei to come to my room and leave us alone. Don't knock on my door until further notice."
