"What do you mean it's not normal?"
"It's- Let's go to the quarters, this is not the place to talk about these things.
July followed Emily to the quarters with a load of questions in her heart.
…
"Now, what was that thing about 'normal'?"
"Will you sit first?"
"Really…you…" Being all impatient July was still following Emily's lead and was doing what she was told to satisfy her curiosity.
"So, the story begins with the first empress…"
The king of empire Ascaba had it peaceful with his twin kids and a kind-hearted wife, the empress, Milanda Grands. The empress and the twins were not only loved by the king but also by the empire itself, despite being a beta the empress's insight was incomparable to none and so also was respected by king and army.
But because the empress gave birth to the alpha twins, her body became very weak since then.
She lived on the medics than herself, and so an ominous day came, and the empress left the world with a smile on her pretty face.
And while the country and the king was still at moan some wolves find an opportunity in it and pressured the king by creating the political and personal situation.
The king under pressure then married into a county family, to Eleanor County, the first daughter of the County.
Eleanour County, an alpha, was a well-known personality in the social circle of the kingdom, and so she was the first choice being the reliable empress.
Empress Eleanour got along with everyone around her including the king and the alpha twins.
And so after a year of her marriage she got blessed with a child, she in hope of having both power and control through her child gave it all to take care of it, and just like that 3rd princess, Julian Ascaba was born.
She was very cheerful and beautiful, just like the first empress, and so was loved by all, even the alpha twins doted on her very much but her mother despised her as she was a BETA.
The empress couldn't accept that and ignored her for almost 4 years.
Then one-day Heildi, the empress maid came to the princess and took her to the empress, where she was trained to be a doll or more like a chess piece.
The princess was not allowed to meet the twins, she was even punished harshly if we're to do anything out of line drawn by her mother.
The empress and Heildi took all control of the princess.
And so Julian lived like a doll in 4 walled cages for 15 years.
During this time Duke Leonard Teras established his name on the highest hierarchy of the kingdom by himself, his influence around the country was not a joke.
He also had a good relationship with the royal family as the king was a close friend of his father and also a mentor to the duke.
But for some reason, the empress was suspicious of his influence and so asked for a marriage proposal to the 3rd princess.
Everyone knew the reasoning behind her action but it was meaningless to interfere as the princess never objected to it.
The princess along with Heidi and Emily was sent to Duke Teras territory to keep an eye on every action of her.
Princess was told by the empress that this marriage is a duty she needs to fulfill by giving birth to a capable heir of the Terms.
Therefore, after a few months of marriage, she got pregnant with a healthy child.
But again, the child got despised by her grandmother because it was a cute MALE OMEGA.
The princess was not only punished but also asked not see the child for the rest of her life.
Or else the child will also have to suffer like the princess.
"Therefore they don't have meals or do anything together."
"What about the Duke?"
"Well, even though he knows everything he still can't do anything without her consent, otherwise he loves both of them very dearly."
