My Perfect Omega - Chapter 123
Leila had meticulously controlled her pheromones, but rumors about her had spread not only in the capital but throughout the entire empire, so while some betas might not recognize her, there wasn’t an alpha who didn’t.
“If something happens to our lady’s face, who will take responsibility?”
Anna grumbled in a displeased voice as she helped Leila off the carriage first. Leila felt like Anna was the most reliable person in the world whenever she took her side so unconditionally.
“I feel so reassured when you say things like that, Anna.”
She wanted to express in words just how precious Anna was to her.
“Goodness, my lady…”
Leila not only made an effort to express affection towards Anna but also towards Lucas. In the past, she had resigned herself to everything and had not shown affection even to Anna.
Back then, she thought there was no point in forming attachments since she intended to die anyway.
“Ahem, hello!”
One of the alphas, who had been staring at her intently, bravely approached and greeted her loudly. Leila recognized him immediately and responded in a soft voice.
“Hello, Count Fisher.”
“Gasp, do you, do you know me?”
“I know that you attend the concerts every week.”
“Ah, yes! I am very interested in music!”
As Leila responded to Count Fisher’s brave greeting, the alphas who had been watching from the sidelines all rushed over. It was actually uncommon for so many alphas to surround a single omega like this.
No, it was something that shouldn’t even be possible.
“As expected of a hyper-dominant omega, you have a unique presence.”
Following the flattery of one count, everyone began to praise Leila.
“I’ve never experienced it, but I imagine your pheromones are incredibly enchanting.”
Treading a fine line, the alphas tried to showcase their charms to the omega who already had a mate. They knew that Leila was with Lucas, but as fellow alphas, they couldn’t help their jealousy.
Not only had he won over a hyper-dominant omega of a similar age, but her beauty, musical talent, and her ability to actively support the most notable artists in high society made her the most desirable partner.
Despite all these great qualities, there was one significant issue that kept everyone from seriously considering her.
“Um, it’s a bit stifling here.”
It was extremely ungentlemanly to try to attract an omega with pheromones when she was already with an alpha, but instead of expressing her displeasure, Leila surrounded herself with her own pheromones.
Since her manifestation, when she had been unable to see, she had effortlessly played with pheromones like a toy. Thus, her control over her pheromones was far superior to Lucas’s.
“Huh?”
They sensed something unusual in her actions. Realizing that their pheromones were hitting an invisible wall and couldn’t reach her, they reacted not with displeasure or embarrassment but with a chorus of admiration.
Listening to the low-pitched voices harmonizing like a choir, Leila smiled and spoke.
“Well then, if you’ll excuse me.”
At her words, the gathered alphas retreated like the tide. Leila, walking gracefully through the parting crowd, was undoubtedly the hottest woman of the moment.

Inside the concert hall, Leila headed for the separate VIP seats. Anna would be outside the building, not far away, with the escort knight.
The concert hall she was in did not allow entry with maids or knights. It was a tradition established to avoid class and violence in places dedicated to art.
“Oh my, you’re here?”
But she wasn’t going to watch the concert alone. Leila greeted Marchioness Richter, who had arrived earlier.
“Good afternoon, Marchioness.”
“Yes, on a clear day like today, I love how the sound of the instruments is so crisp.”
“Hehe, the Marchioness truly knows everything.”
Although Leila knew such things herself, she pretended not to and complimented her. Marchioness Richter, delighted, wrinkled her nose with a smile.
“I knew you already knew that, Lady.”
