The Duchess was brought here, far away from her homeland because of a political treaty.
Both knew at their first meeting that they were similar, they both hated this world so, both signed a contract, the Duchess will give him an heir and she could live her life however she wanted to...
Before dying, the Duchess had a regret; she did not give birth to an Alpha child, but it was okay! This will be her curse to this world, her resentment towards this bloody society....
In case you are wondering, why Yuki knew she was a Beta and not an Omega, it's actually very simple.
The test that was conducted just after birth was actually a blood test, an antigen named 'Beta' was seen in the blood of the infant Beta populous, maybe it was there only to distinguish between the 'normal' and the 'chosen'?
Anyway, Yuki's anatomy was similar to a 'female', it was visible that, she was not an Alpha, once the Duchess saw that she was not an Alpha, she directly forced the doctors to change her gender on the report after hearing that she was a 'normal'...
It wasn't possible for her to fake as an Omega in case she didn't grow up o be a frail beauty with soft features, plus the Alphas could instinctively know if she was an Omega, but in case she faked as an Alpha, it was possible to fake her visuals... she could just say she was taking suppressants for her unstable pheromones and incase in the future she was found out to be a Beta, it will be a slap on everyone who treated a 'norma' as a 'chosen' one, the humiliation the people of the country will face would be the panacea for the Duchess' wounded heart...
... It was the start of her revenge against this world, that didn't care about her and had taken away her everything...
.......
Though it was easy to distinguish the Betas through the test, the Omegas who had similar anatomy to their Beta counterparts, mainly the females who couldn't be differentiated from the Beta females just from outward appearance at birth were sometimes mistaken...even with the Beta antigen, the test wasn't universal after all, plus that, the test at birth was very expensive.
It may be possible for some rich nobles to conduct the test at birth both more than 90 per cent of the population still waiting for the free test from the government on the onset of their children's puberty.
So, the real division started when the children were at the most sensitive period of their life, just a single test was responsible to wreck their entire lives.
The test result was actually confidential and one could hide it for their own sakes, it only became mandatory to disclose it during employment.
The Duchess didn't feel a shred of care for this child, as she grew up, she will know that she wasn't an Alpha when Sex education was given to them, she will notice that she was different, she will feel rejected by this world, she who thought that she was an Alpha since birth and had to work this hard will be slapped by the reality that she was just a 'normal', she will break..... and will also become the best tool for the Duchess' revenge... By then it wouldn't be easy for her to dissuade others to change their perspective on her, and as time passes the Alphas will outshine her, her everything that she had worked up for will be crushed because she was not a 'chosen' one and this will continue to become a chain... the Duchess' hatred for this world will envelop her heart and this will continue till this world broke.....
Even when the Duchess died, because she knew that the seed had taken root... that the girl who would continue her revenge was still alive that, she died with a smile on her face...
Her curse had just started...
......
......
Yuki didn't know that the Duchess had died; she saw those men in white coats come down the stairs, maybe they didn't notice her or maybe they didn't know that she was the heiress to the family, but they just went out through the door without saying anything.
Well, Yuki was in her own world of contemplating things written in the book and didn't care...
Or so, it should have been...
'Kulukulukulu'
It was the sound of her stomach revolting.
Yuki put the book on the sofa and jumped down, her little legs directly took her to the dining hall and the kitchen just in front of it, she was hungry...
She had used too much of her brain cells, she needed some sugar replenishment.
She just passed by a huge potted-plant inside the mansion another step and she would be inside the hall but--
'kulukulukulu'
She heard a similar sound and halted...
She knew that someone was hiding behind the potential, but they didn't have any ill intention so she had let them be, even now, she thought of ignoring them...
She again lifted her leg, but--
'Guruguruguru'
The young girl softly sighed, it seems the stomach of the other person was causing a huge riot!
She lightly walked towards the pot, and there she found a human ball-- Ahem!
She meant, she found a little boy in an upright foetal position, he was hugging his bent legs and his head was kept down.
The first thing Yuki noticed was that he looked thin and the next thing was his unusual rose gold hair, she had always thought that it was weird, she didn't know why she thought it was weird, but she had a hunch it should be not like this... In this world, it was natural to have such different hair colours.
The Duchess and her shared the normal black hair, though it was a glistening black as if inlaid with diamonds still, she thought of it as normal, but contrary to them, the Duke had light blue hair, some maids had hair colour ranging from orange, neon green, forest green etc.
Well, if they had dyed them, then it won't be something unusual, but it seems it was natural in this world for such colours to exist; as born in this world Yuki shouldn't feel that it was wrong, but she just couldn't think of it as natural...
Anyways, this boy had Rose Gold hair, 'What the hell happened to genetics?', a weird thought crossed her brain.
Well, she had accepted this 'weirdness' of the world a long time ago and she, who could remember everything since before she was even born, didn't actually have the right to call anyone 'weird', because she would definitely take the first place in terms of that!!
'Guruguruguru' (x2)
The growling sounds of both their hungry stomach brought her out of her thoughts, she didn't think of it as shameful, what's wrong with getting hungry?
But it seems the boy had thin skin, he was embarrassed by the sound and his little ears went red.
Somehow, Yuki found this kid a bit amusing..
She squatted beside the boy and asked, " Hey, are you hungry?"
