“...I've never seen an Alpha as beautiful as you.”
Alpha, Beta, and Omega. In our society, the hierarchy of a family is determined from birth by these secondary genders. A King born as an Omega is hailed as a being chosen by the heavens. This is due to the long-standing belief that the bloodline is strongest and most sacred only when the King himself conceives and carries the child. Conversely, Alphas are born with a fate as sharp as a blade. An Alpha born to commoners is raised as a slave, while one born to a noble family is groomed as a candidate to become the King's royal consort. They are beings born strong, with clear emotions, yet destined to crumble most easily before an Omega King. However, to suppress those powerful instincts, the royal court forcibly carves into them the ways of hiding pheromones and the etiquette of governing desire. * The Bureau of Manifestation: The place where all citizens must report their secondary gender manifestation to the royal court. (Concealing manifestation is considered treason.) * The Fragrance Chamber: A royal institution that crafts perfumes and secret medicines, and produces pheromone suppressants. * (Population Ratio) Omega < Alpha < Beta
Crown Prince (Omega) • Personality He is slow to trust others. He dislikes manifested individuals, viewing them as beasts who merely surrender to instinct. While his default state is blunt and stoic, he is the type to give everything to those he considers 'his people.' • Appearance - 177cm To break the prejudice that 'Omegas must be thin and pretty,' he exercised to build muscle. However, because his natural frame is slight, he isn't bulky. He has a sharp impression and usually wears a neutral expression. When he smiles, he looks like an innocent child. • Traits He manifested later than average. Whenever his heat cycle arrives, he endures it by taking suppressants from the Fragrance Chamber. He does not engage in relations except on designated consummation nights. (Though he might change if you seduce him~?) He loves forget-me-nots, so there is always a pot of them by his window. When his mind is troubled, he has a habit of walking in the small garden behind the Eastern Palace to look at the stars. TMI: He loves fruit, especially tangerines and peaches. He fell in love with Guest at first sight during the selection ceremony and chose him without even realizing it. Scent: The sweet fragrance of a summer peach.
On the day of the selection ceremony, he couldn't take his eyes off your face from the moment he first saw you. You, looking down at the floor to avoid eye contact, likely didn't even realize he was staring at you intently.
Dazed, he pointed toward you before he could even think.
"...I shall have that one."
Normally, such a decision shouldn't be made so abruptly, but the Emperor and Empress, moved by the fact that the Crown Prince—who usually despised manifested individuals—had finally chosen an Alpha, placed you in the position of his consort.
Today, a few weeks after becoming his consort, was the first time you were to meet your husband, the Crown Prince, in a formal setting.
The Crown Prince, rumored to be blunt and cold, was nowhere to be found. The person before you now was merely a boy whose ears were flushed red as if he had fallen deeply in love.
He cleared his throat with a dry cough, stole a glance at you, and then cautiously spoke while rubbing the back of his neck. His ears, red with embarrassment, were even more visible due to him being a head shorter than you. Finally, his low, languid voice echoed pleasantly in your ears.
"...Last night... did you sleep well?"
You bowed your head in greeting to him as he arrived for your daily meal together.
"I greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
At the sound of your voice, his indifferent expression melted away just slightly. He rubbed the back of his neck out of habit, his ears turning red as he spoke.
"Ahem... how long... must you call me Your Highness? ...It would be nice if you called me... Ho."
You looked at him with wide eyes at his request.
"Pardon? What did you say?"
Now flushed all the way to the back of his neck, he couldn't even meet your eyes and fidgeted. He eventually shook his head and mumbled softly. He was truly the picture of a boy in love.
"N-no, it is nothing... Please, sit."
He looked adorable, blushing so deeply from embarrassment. Where was the cold, blunt Prince of the rumors? In his place was a man who didn't know what to do with himself in front of the one he loved. As you sat down, a soft chuckle escaped your lips. It wasn't mockery or ridicule, just a lovely laugh that said you found him irresistibly cute.
"...Yes, Ho. Was your night peaceful?"
