💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎¶ The petite woman sat in front of the small vanity , sitting still as she felt the soft strokes of the brush on her snow white wavy locks, listening to the brunette haired woman  standing behind her. She laughed softly into her hand as the maid kept on telling her tales of her life as a commoner,  rambling about her siblings being annoying and venting off about all the work the other ladies in the house make her go through just to make the her spend time away from her lady. And Celeste's plum pink lips were puller into a small soft smile as she finally let herself relax in the safety of her bed room. For once everything felt right in the world and she just wished it could last longer ¶

The inside of the building was amazing, the walls a rich deep golden colour complemented with  tints of blue and white, dim candle lights flickering and reflecting of  the huge white marble pillars holding up, showing off the small golden detailed engravings on each. On the white celling was the Cashmire house insignia painted beautifully on the surface, 'a blue diamond sitting in the middle of a white rose,surrounded by golden thorns and being guarded by a white lion'.  A dark red silk carpet was laid out from the door to the building to the center where a large stage was with stairs leading up to the to it, making a pretty walkway for esteemed guest of high and noble background to walkthrough and  enter the grand place. Overall the whole place was a beautiful piece of architecture and was aesthetically pleasing to the eye that one with great interest of art would get lost in it.

Too bad M/N blue hues we're currently locked with eyes of a darker colour, to take in the beauty of the interior around him. He managed to surpass a shaky gulp before tearing his gaze from the man it had locked with, the man that his sister had to call father in the original book and the current head of the Cashimre house.

The book had described the heroine's father as °A tall dominant male alpha with a mesomorph built and  an intimidating air around him. His hair looked  blacker than colour ebony and had skin paler than snow, his house trademark gem like eyes had a darker pint of blue than the rest of his family members, but that only added to his already intimidating presence°

'The author might have made him too intimidating if you ask me. It added to his appeal in the book, but now its just down right terrifying' The male omega thought to himself as he forced his body to not tremble under the cold stare of the man he now had to call his father and was going to spend at least four years with, before the OG plot would take place.  There he stood with his god like beauty his eyes narrowed and scrutinizing their every move, his thin lips drawn in a thin line the only thing assuring M/N that the man wasn't a very realistic marble statute was the inhumane grip he had on his sword and that was far from reassuring.

Apart from his godly beauty, the heroine's father- his and Celeste's father was a man that was not was not to be trifled with . Growing up he was said to have had an insatiable bloodlust, even going as far as killing the pets in the Cashmire manor and sometimes servants mysteriously 'disappeared'. When he turned thirteen the animal abuse didn't do it for him anymore and people had stopped applying for servant jobs, he enlisted into the kingdom's army, training with little effort but just enough to send him to fight the on going war that had been happening with another poorer kingdom and when he stepped foot on the already bloody  earth, he unleashed a monster. A monster that tore up anyone that got in it's way, a monster that dyed the already red battlefield in the colour beautiful crimson colour even more, leaving no patch of dirt soiled, a monster that made  the stomachs of adults and highly skilled veterans in his squadron churn in horror and unimaginable fear and made knights from the opposing kingdom slit their own throats before he got to them to spare themselves from the torture that would follow if they we're caught , a monster that would be named 'the devil of blue'. And as he grew older he only accumulated more blood on his already soaked hands and rose in the kingdoms ranks and at the age of nineteen he became the Commander of the Imperial knights and the head of his house (after he had assassinated his parents and elder brother)  receiving gifts and treasures from other countries to spare them or to try and win his favour, heck two out his four wives were princesses given up to him to establish a peace contract between the kingdoms, even their mother had been a gift to him.  The kingdom's ruling monarch at the time had being so scared that with the power he had and all the connections he had gathered he would eventually start a rebellion and fight for the imperial throne. So to keep him on a leash the king  bestowed him with the title of Archduke, making him the first man in history to have three powerful titles,before the age of twenty one, but also giving the imperial family a way to finally tie him down, as to become an Archduke one had to take a blood oath to swear their loyalty to the imperial family, so currently the the only person that was presently more powerful and had absolute authority over him was the kingdom's current Emperor, but even then blood oaths were fickle and their was always loopholes around them. And M/N was sure that, if the man felt like it he could go find ways around them to take the kingdom for himself if he wanted to. If he wanted something he would take it, no matter the consequences.

That was the kind of man Luzak Cashmire       

' I can't believe I used to simp over him in my past life and disregarded all his crimes simply because he has a pretty face shame on me' M/N thought to himself, internally cringing at his past behavior. Celeste's squeezing his hand brought him back to the current situation and he looked over to his sister to see how she was fairing. The female omega was poised and stood with her head held high and her pink lips were fixed in a small smile, the air around her giving off vibe of elegance and sweetness, but he could see through her facade, her shoulders were trembling a bit, but only someone with a trained eye could catch it, or in M/N's case, know her her whole life. The petite male squeezed her hand softly in reassurance and she calmed down a bit, her smile growing a tad bit wider. Unlike his sister's welcoming presence the air around the snow white haired male gave off a vibe of authority and coldness, making people who looked in his direction flinch a bit a cold monotone expression on his face. The pair walked behind the red haired alpha with their steps in sync and hands held together,not batting an eye at the whispers and gossips that's had started been thrown around them, M/N smirked inside himself at the Small uproar their presence had caused, he couldn't blamed them, he was sure their mannerism had  most likely shocked the nobles in the hall, finding it odd that the illegitimate children locked away from society we're able to act like they've been raised in a noble household,

"Can you believe that?" a woman gasped and 'whispered' into her friends ear "they're not as uncultured as we thought they were and they so beautiful too" her partner whispered back to her as she stared in awe at the two "I thought it was supposed to be a son and daughter, but it looks like their just sisters with a difference in chest size " a random male mused as his eyes leered over the two, " well I'm not so sure about that uncultured part, what kind of woman dresses up like a man, hmmph that just shows that they have regards for tradition , women should act and dress like women not prance around in men's clothing " an elderly gentleman said as he watched the two walk pass, drawing some agreements from the crowd around him  "but their both omegas how lucky is that? and they both smell so good its driving me crazy, do you think that lord Cashmire would be willing to marry them off soon? Maybe I can get my hands on the one on the dress" a younger male gushed out earning a scoff from someone by his side "it doesn't matter even dogs can be trained to learn new tricks and their not even that pretty I've seen better Omega's in a whore house" a green haired male said and turned his gaze away with a small annoyed huff,but his gaze still wandered over to take in their looks, His cheeks turning a bright red colour when they landed on the female Omega's chest, but a quick death glare from  the male omega by her side made him flinch and sent him and the rest of the crowd silent for a moment. The sudden silence caught Arlo's attention,but he didn't say anything about it his gaze facing forward and wanting to get things over with, he could care less what the nobles said it wasn't affecting him anyways. 

'Their so annoying and they don't even wait to get to know a person before judging them on looks and behavior alone its hard to believe people like this exist. Its just like I'm reliving highschool all over again, Already classifying as 'Uncultured' as if we're animals. Now i get why Celeste burst into tears in this chapter. She was so soft hearted then and didn't have any etiquette training on proper greeting, while at least I fixed that up, with all the trash talk I've thrown her way, it'll take a lot more than that to make her break' the thought ran through the smaller male's head

Though the 'whispering' was unpleasant it wasn't surprising. It simply showed how much little expectations the aristocracy had for 'outsiders'  even Luzak seemed intrigued by their manners, his blue eyes brewing with an emotion that M/N couldn't put his finger on his finger on, but it didn't help in making him less uneasy.

'its almost like he was expecting us to make fools of ourselves, the sick bastard' the male omega resisted to grith his teeth when he realized the  demon only throw this grand party from the start to amuse himself and make them laughing stocks. He looked away from the man's daunting figure and finally noticed that there was another male standing by his side, watching them like hawks. His lighter hue eyes held a very clear emotion as he watched the two walk forward. 'Disgust' that's what it was, even though his face remained void of any emotion, his eyes gave away how he felt about the situation, and the reincarnated man  quickly remembered who the tall man was and he felt a headache coming up

'Ah it's bastard no 2 . I almost forgot he shows up during this chapter and considering the role he plays and his fucked up personality I'm shocked he nearly slipped my mind' the snow haired male thought to himself, resisting the urge to raise his hand up and message his temples.

Bastard no- he meant the blonde male was another member of the Cashmire house. To be more specific, he was the heroine's- their older half brother  and one of the most favoured candidate to become the next head of the house. Unlike normal houses that handed the title of head of house to the eldest alpha son, the five houses held a series of task and competition in their own buildings with their own rules each different from every other house and some more cruel and blood thirsty than the others, for all their alpha children regardless their birth gender to pick the most efficient one to rule over the house for the next generation, and the ​​​​​​gentleman in front was sadly a candidate. M/N hated this man with a seething rage, even if he did have a  very pretty face, he tolerated the sperm doner he now had to call a father more than the male standing by his side, sure he murdered a few thousand people, but he never harmed children, raped women or took advantage of the weak. Sure he was a mass murderer but he still had morals, unlike the thing he helped conceived standing by his side that lacked every single thing about morality and didn't even have a shred of human empathy in the hollow spot where his heart should and what made it worse was that he was -

The male omega nearly throw up In his mouth a bit at the thought of the  blond alpha's role his normally light blue  eyes darkening at the thought. 

He was a love interest  and an overly obsessive one at that, he didn't even deserve his name to be said by the male omega who refused to acknowledge him in anyway ,and avoiding him wouldn't be easy, since they would have living with the psychopath from now on and the rest of the demon family but it wouldn't be impossible. He just had to limit Celeste's interactions with him and they would be golden,  the plot was already messed up in general,so why not mess it up even more for their own advantage?

Their red haired guide stopped once they reached the steps leading to the stage. He bowed at the two man standing on top, his hands going over his chest and placed right above his heart to show case his 'undying loyalty',not bothered by the way their eyes bore into his being and disregarded his presence, before he stood up straight and turned to look at the two omegas behind  clearing his throat before introducing the two males

" His Highness lord Luzak and his eldest son Aiden Cashmire " he announced to the twins,but his voice echoed through out the hall, a subtle warning that the people present should quiet down or else. With that

M/N felt  Celeste's grip on his hand tighten à he could only squeeze her hand back to calm her down, right now they we're standing in the presences of predators and as much as he hated to admit it. They were the prey 

×∆×∆×∆×∆×∆×∆×∆×∆×∆×∆×∆×∆×

The dark haired alpha stared down at the two petite figures in front of him, his eyes not giving away any emotion as he watched the two for a while. After what seemed like an eternity the duo took their stances and  showed their greetings, the brother bowing with  his left hand over his chest and his eyes lowered to the ground, while the sister curtsied, her left hand picking up the skirt of her dress and parting it away to make room her knees to spread further back, lowering her head  as her eyes made contact to the ground both their hands still clasped together as they moved in sync 

" May the White stars of the Lithoian empire continue to guide you , Diamant bleu "

Their greeting caught everyone of guard, and the whispers ignited once more before promptly dying down when the red haired alpha shot a glare towards the crowd. A small spark of interest ignited in Luzak's usually monotone eyes before dying down again 'maybe bringing these children in wasn't such a bad idea, not like I can return them after this' he thought to himself as he watched the two go back to their original positions hands still entwined with one another. From the corner of his eye he noticed his eldest's face contract to one of shock,then rage  before losing any emotion it held as  it never happened, and the older hummed in thought to himself. Yes maybe letting them in was the challenge his perfect pups needed to sit up 

Cold eyes moved over to scan the young woman, the darker colour, filling up a bit with underlying hate when he saw just how much she resembled her wench of a mother but he would let that slide for now, his calculated gaze noticed her trembling shoulders and the way she would occasionally squeeze the hand of her sibling, despite the welcoming smile she had on. She was good at hiding  her emotions he would give her that,even if she had a long way to go before she was perfect, but then again he had  expected her to break down in tears from the information he had managed to gather on them. °Celeste Blanche - , age 18, said to be the youngest to the two, was described as sweet, naive,easily frightened and very forgiving and big hearted with an inability to withstand tough situation, second gender omega, surprisingly scent is entirely food base, ability to control Månå unknown, but since she didn't have any teachers growing up likely stunned or non existent°

'hmm. It wasn't unexpected, but still a bit disappointing they only thing she'll be good for is being married off to build stronger connections' he summed up in his as his gaze fell towards the petite male and the spark came back. 'The boy...' he  thought as his eyes searched the male Omega's form, 'he doesn't look any different from his sister, same face and he probably has the same body type,would explain why he was wearing the cloak, to distinguish the two of then apart, by looks instead of scents'  the alpha thought to himself ,the only reason he even know the lad's gender, was that he had being present during their birth he had to dispose of the woman's body if not he would have just gone on assuming he had two omegan twin daughters for a very long time. But it wasn't his feminine looks that intrigued the older male.

It was his eyes. They were the same blue gem like ones everyone born into the Cashmire heir line had(but a softer blue colour) but that wasn't what drew the archduke in, it was the emotion behind them. Luzak couldn't put his finger on it,but the first time their eyes locked when the petite male had first walked in he was a taken a back by it, the smaller male's eyes seemed to be staring right past him, as if he wanted to look at anywhere or anyone except the man who had welcomed him back in   and he wasn't oblivious to the fact the the snow haired male had been throwing glances his way, 'it's almost as if he's being cautious around me'. The older male was used to people trying to make themselves smaller around him because of his reputation, but that woman's child seemed to cautious around him for a different reason 'like he knows something he shouldn't' the dark haired alpha's eyes narrowed at that thought. And it didn't help that he hadn't done any background info around him,as well, the only thing he had was a name and age 'M/N Blanc, age 18'.

The Archduke had simply assumed the boy would be an alpha and so he only did research on the girl,since he thought she was the only omega child he had and that came back to bite him in the ass.  ' it's kind of disappointing that he  turned out to be an omega. Even being a recessive male alpha would have being enough. Oh well at least he's a dominant one, he can be married off as well, but for now I need to keep a close eye on him, I might just be overreacting, but now its better to be safe than sorry , I've already messed up once, it's not going to happen again' , but for now he needed to get this crappy ceremony over with, he could deal with matters like that later.

He walked down from the stage watching the two siblings freeze in place as his massive figure came closer until he was standing right in front of them, his scent of expensive red wine and ash drifting around his figure and slowly spreading round the hall showing off his authority over everyone present (and to remind the two in front of him of their place).

The audience watched with tense silence, the tension building in the large hall that one could probably cut it with a knife  just made the whole situation more unbearable , but then something happened that made everyone either freeze in complete shock or gasp at the sight, a few people even fainted in their spots.

Aiden and Arlo watched in shock not being able to comprehend what they were seeing, but the twins watched with different reactions. Celeste watched in disbelief and resisted the urge to rub her eyes to make sure she was seeing clearly and wasn't hallucinating on månå over flow again, while her brother's expression remained somewhat the same, except on closer inspection one could see his face was drained of colour and his eyes were shrunk back in fear as his mind tried to process what he was seeing

't..this never happened in the book. W..what the fuck..' 

Standing admist all the chaos was the archduke and his posture still remained straight and tall and his eyes remains void of any emotion but his lips. His lips we're pulled into a haunting smile and the first words that left his mouth since the two omegas got their sent a shiver down the two's spine and M/N resisted the urge to drag Celeste and make a run for it, not like the would make it anyways

"Welcome home my children I hope we can get along and be one big happy family"

The smaller male didn't miss the threat hidden in his words   

Or else. Well it's not like you have a choice~
