Chapter 08
Violet SilkEverything happened very fast. The speed at which Kyungsoo had settled into his position was mind-blowing. It was during a typical boring meeting that Kyungsoo decided to show off his position. He walked in with confidence and sat right in front of King Jongin, at the other end of the dark wooden table at the centre of the war strategy room. Following his arrival, many heads snapped to his direction staring at him some with amused faces and some with grim judging looks. The king was not happy at all. Planning war or defence was absolutely out of question for omegas. That was what King Jongin and most of his men believed.
Kyungsoo, however, was very keen on breaking every single rule about his kin. he was a scholar, a very skilled fighter by omega standards, and surprisingly a very good leader and adviser. The alpha king had realised that the officials were very fond of his omega’s knowledge and trusted him enough to seek his advice for many different topics. The omega even went as far as setting very critical plans and strategies. He must have felt proud as a mate, but they were only mates in front of the court and the subjects, and as a king, he felt threatened by Kyungsoo’s rising influence and very often manipulation on his country.

“My king,” The alpha addressed his legal spouse with a tight smile.
“Yes, your imperial majesty?” Kyungsoo’s eyes were piercing.

“I apologise for disagreeing with my lord, but I believe our men are far more intelligent to reject hearing their king’s… the omega was not talking about him. …mere opinion on such an important subject, just because of him being from an inferior kind.”
“Omegas are not inferior to us! I refuse to stay at a conference where they are treated as such.” An old alpha general replied. He had five omega children King Jongin bitterly remembered.
He was not looking down on Kyungsoo. He would not dare to do so. He knew about the omega's abilities. He just did not know Kyungsoo as a person. He just did not trust him or his intentions yet.
“I have no objections in that case.” The admittance felt like losing a war.
The omega prince was given a small mansion as his residence right across the king’s personal chambers. The place was connected to the king's sleeping chamber by a short one-minute walking distance. It was right in his personal gardens. It looked as if the prince was separated from the entire court and kept under restrictions.
The alpha thought that maybe it was the reason why the place was built there in the first place. The palace was old. His grandfather had ordered the mansion to be built at such an odd place, almost separated from the rest of the palace. The man had probably wanted to keep his queen sheltered… Keep her just to himself. Jongin ignored the pang of jealousy that he felt in his heart.
He had never paid much attention to the mansion before th
