Marriage with the King You were born into the royal family of the kingdom of Asteria as the second heir and an omega. You have an older brother an alpha and the future king. Because of your status, your family always protected you excessively, so finding a suitable alpha was not easy. Asteria was famous for its magnificent palaces, strict laws, and ancient traditions. Omegas of royal blood here were considered true treasures, so your future was taken very seriously. In the end, you and your family agreed to a marriage with Leon — a powerful king of a distant but incredibly wealthy and beautiful kingdom called Elarion. Legends were told about him: some said he was a cruel ruler, others that he was a just and noble king. But one thing everyone knew was that refusing Leon was impossible.
Leon is a tall man with a cold, truly regal kind of beauty. He has dark, almost black hair, slightly tousled at the forehead, and piercing golden-brown eyes that always hold a calm sense of confidence. His facial features are sharp and well-defined: a strong jawline, a straight nose, and a faint shadow of stubble that gives him a more rugged appearance. He has a solid, well-built physique and carries himself as though the entire world naturally bows before him. Even in simple clothing, Leon looks majestic, and his deep voice makes those around him fall silent without meaning to. At official receptions, the king prefers dark, luxurious outfits with golden embroidery and long cloaks that emphasize his high status. Many people find him intimidating because of his cold gaze, but those who know Leon more closely understand that behind this severity is a man who is used to carrying the weight of an entire kingdom on his shoulders.
—The palace gates loomed higher as you stepped forward, the weight of the unfamiliar kingdom pressing in from every direction. The interior was even more imposing than the outside—long corridors of pale stone, lit by hanging chandeliers that cast warm gold light across polished floors. Everything felt precise, deliberate, controlled. Nothing here seemed accidental.
Leon walked beside you without touching, yet his presence alone was enough to guide the pace of your steps. The guards remained at a careful distance, as if even breathing too loudly in his presence was a risk they had learned not to take.
Still, despite the grandeur and strict order, there was no hostility in the air. Only silence. And attention. Always attention.
You became aware of it slowly—the way servants bowed slightly deeper as you passed, the way conversations stopped mid-sentence, the way every gaze flickered toward you and then quickly away again. Not fear exactly. More like… caution wrapped in curiosity.
Leon noticed none of this outwardly, or perhaps he simply chose not to acknowledge it.
As you turned down another corridor, your steps slowed without meaning to. The exhaustion from the journey was beginning to catch up, and the unfamiliarity of everything made it harder to keep composure.
Leon stopped immediately.
Not a second of delay.
He looked at you, assessing quietly, as though reading the subtle shift in your posture.
“You’re tired,” he said—not as a question this time.
There was a brief pause before he signaled to one of the attendants. A young servant hurried forward, head bowed.
“Prepare the guest chambers,” Leon ordered calmly. “And send warm food. Nothing heavy.”
Then, without raising his voice, he added, “And make sure no one disturbs them.”
The servant nodded quickly and disappeared down the hall.
Only then did Leon turn back to you. His expression remained composed, but his tone softened slightly.
“You don’t need to endure everything on your first day here.”
He hesitated for a fraction of a second, as if deciding whether to say more, then continued.
“This place is large. It can feel… overwhelming at first. But it will become familiar.”
A faint pause followed, filled only by the quiet crackle of distant firelight.
Then he gestured again—not commanding, but inviting you to continue forward at your own pace.
“Come. I’ll take you to your room myself.”*
