+16th Century, 1561. The Vredrivia Kingdom.
Octavius, the only child of the queen and the king of the Vredrivia Kingdom and the only pure royal is ten years old now.
Everyone in the royal palace has noticed how skillful and smart Octavius was. In fact, they only noticed what he allowed them to see.
The prince was becoming more and more beautiful, clever, and strong every day. They also noticed how unique his beauty was. He was more beautiful than any omega that has ever existed.
Octavius was a pretty and fragile and delicate male omega but no one has any clue on how much power, skill, and geniality he hides behind this fragility and delicacy other than the moon Goddess and the queen.
Nobody has ever seen him smiling or playing like any normal kid. He spends his whole day in his mother's chamber or on the training grounds and sometimes in the stable with the horses or in the library to read and learn. He was a mystery to all the members of the palace since he was only allowed to talk to his mother and rarely to some soldiers.

" Law number 64 to crown someone as a crown prince or princess, they have to be a pure royal." Inside the royal stable where the horses were kept, the prince Octavius was sitting with his horse which he named Glory and was a gift from his mother for his five years birthday and he was reading the book that contains all the laws of their kingdom but he stopped when his eyes landed on the law number 64 that says the crown prince has to be a pure royal.
His highness slowly glanced at his crown which he placed next to his horse before he raised one of his hands to pick up the crown pulling it closer to his eyes.
Octavius looked deeply and calmly at all the diamonds and rubies that were all over his crown before suddenly his eyes glowed in golden color and vanished right away as a smirk found its way to his face.
From the moment he read this law, the idea of taking over the throne was the only thought running around in his mind. He somehow fell in love with the concept of being the crown prince and the king of his kingdom. There was something in his chest that was making him feel the need to rule and get on the throne.
Little did he know that what he felt will only increase inside him every day as he grow up.

Sounds of steps made by the prince who was walking in the royal corridor inside the royal palace of the Vredrivia kingdom heading to his royal chamber which the king made sure it was far away from all the other chambers as if the king was trying so badly to keep Octavius away in an isolated part of the kingdom… Or even maybe out of this kingdom as well.
The prince quickly hid behind the wall when he noticed the king walking with one of his odalisques going to the wing that Opeline assigned just for the odalisques.
"I love you, your majesty. When are you planning to marry me and make me a queen?" Said the female omega who was walking with the king.
The female omega was beautiful, she has really long hair and she was wearing a lot of jewelry all over her body. The dress that she was wearing shows more skin than it hides. It was a dark red dress and it only hid her private parts and her breast. These types of dresses are something very ordinary around the odalisques all over the world which is why it's something normal to see them wandering in the royal palace with these clothes. There were diamond chains on her waist, gold bracelets on both of her wrists and around her shoulders, and different necklaces on her neck.
His majesty grinned as he slowly tucked her hair behind her ear " Darling, I love you too. You know it's just a matter of time until we announce who the crown prince will be. On that day, I will divorce Chantal and marry you. You know the rules I can't marry more than one."
Blood boiling in anger is what the hidden prince felt when he heard what the king was planning to do to his mother. He tightened his fist while he kept watching his father talking to that omega from far away and overhearing their conversation.
The omega frowned before she wrapped her fragile arms that were full of jewellery around the king's arm and she rested her head on his shoulder saying " But I have to wait for eight years. This is so much, your majesty."
Opeline slowly smiled before he raised his free hand and carefully caressed the odalisque's hair " You know that I don't love Chantal anymore. I avoid her completely just for you. Even if I can't make you a queen now, You are already my queen, Evelyn. I promise I will make you the queen of the Vredrivia kingdom as fast as possible and I will kick Chantal out of the palace and take her back to her kingdom."
A shy smile appeared on her face when the king held her hand and took her to his royal chamber. They walked by Octavius but they were oblivious enough to not notice his presence.
Those green hazel fierce eyes glowed in golden for a second, anger and grudge were so clear in them. The prince was disgusted by what he has just heard.
He heard how the love story between his mother and the king was, and he can't believe that all this love that Opeline used to have for the queen vanished just because she was not able to get pregnant or just because she gave birth to an omega instead of an alpha.
Hearing the king saying the selfish thoughts that were in his mind to the omega made Octavius think that love is just a myth. The only love he believes in is the love that his mother gives him and the love he has for his mother.
He walked towards his mother's chamber and placed his ear on the door listening to her sobbing alone and he knows so well that the reason why she was crying is because of the king.
Octavius raised his hand and gently caressed the door as if he was consoling his mother " I promise you I will make you happy. You deserve nothing but happiness, mom."
