As soon as Soojin heard the news that she was due to be wed to a knight from the Yeh kingdom her heart almost stopped, she knew her kingdom was struggling with the war against the Chou but she hoped and prayed that they wouldn't marry her off for money and alliance, although she had to admit she wasn't surprised, she was an omega after all

-But eomma, a Yeh?

- I know our kingdoms never got along but we need the alliance with the Yeh for the war against the Chou

-But why a knight?

-Yeh Shuhua is not just a knight, she is the second in line after her brother, ideally you would marry him but he is already married

-Does she even speak our language?

-I don’t know, but I don’t suppose so. It’s my understanding that the Yeh´s don’t bother learning other languages

-Appa, how will we communicate, then?

-Well, you learned their language didn't you?

Soojin snorted angrily

-This is not fair

-You are a Seo princess and you know your obligations Soojin, we are all tired of this war and we need the Yeh support right now

-But appa

The king just fixed his gaze on his daughter

-You want your brother to return, don't you?

Soojin sighed, her brother was fighting in the south of the kingdom and she hadn't seen him in years, if marrying this Yeh would ensure her brother came home soon she would marry her

-When they arrive?

--/--

Shuhua felt her stomach tighten with nervousness, in front of her horse was her parents' carriage, they were approaching the Seo's castle and she didn't know how to feel about it, Yehs and Seos never got along and she would never imagine that one day she would marry a Seo but the war with the Chou ravaged the south of the Seo kingdom and it was only a matter of time before the Yeh kingdom was invaded too and she knew that an alliance with the Seo was indispensable to finish this blood mess. The Yeh party stopped in front of the castle and Shuhua had to admit that the castle was very beautiful, she dismounted from her horse and followed her parents as they climbed the stairs

-Are you sure about this ?

-Shuhua...

-I know I know, but it's a Seo

-I heard she's very beautiful

The big doors opened inviting them inside, Shuhua could hear the rumble of people as they walked towards the king and queen

-King KuanLin

They were greeted by the king

-King Hyunki

-I hope you had a good trip

-It was very good, I must say that your kingdom is well taken care of, despite the war that devastates the south

Shuhua just watched the kings talking, she didn't understand anything her father said,  she was the second alpha in the family so her parents never bothered with a more formal education for her, her brother YangYang spent time with his tutors while she trained with the knights

-But let's get down to it Hyunki, as we've already discussed before, it's in the interest of both of our nations that the issue with the Chou is resolved as soon as possible, so for us to formalize our union our daughters must mate

The king fixed his gaze on Shuhua who only maintained her erect posture.

-I hope that with this marriage the differences between our kingdoms will be in the past KuanLin

-You can count on it, with this marriage we became one family

-Very well... Seo Soojin you can enter

A door opened on the side and all the Yehs turned their attention to the girl who was standing there, Shuhua felt her heart beating in , the moment she looked at the door, there she was, her future mate, Seo Soojin was the most beautiful woman she's ever seen in her life, she is so beautiful and captivating with pout lips and a shy smile

-This is my daughter, Seo Soojin, the princess of the Seo kingdom

Soojin just fixed her gaze on Shuhua, the alpha was a little taller than her, had big brown eyes and was looking at her with a mixture of curiosity and admiration? Why did she look like a lost puppy?

-And as soon as the bonding ceremony is performed they will return with us to the Yeh kingdom, after all we are still in a war

-NO

 Soojin screamed as soon as she heard the new information

-SOOJIN

Her parents scolded her while the Yehs glared at her

-I'm not moving there

-You have no choice Soojin, a mated ômega should live where her alpha lives

-But appa

Shuhua watched the discussion between the king and princess worriedly, she didn't understand what they were arguing about but she could feel how he
