Silla (The capital)

Palace

“Callum just sent a message.” Zarek said to the king. “Everyone of them is safe and in the capital already. We distributed them in the capital already.”

“Good.” Lucian smiled.

“Your…If I may ask why did you scatter them in the capital?” Zarek asked with a slight bow.

“They will be living in the capital from now on, they are now one of us” Lucian replied.

“Your majesty…But I thought it wasn't permanent. Wasn't it just for a short period of time for the identification ceremony?” Zarek asked again.

“No, I just use that as an excuse. The disagreement between Silla and Farrow-keep won't end.” Lucian said with a noticeable glare. “One of Derek's people went to Farrow-keep days ago. Surely I don't need to explain what that means to you.”

“Things will escalate soon enough. So that is why I brought in the Lowvalers to live with us in the capital. They are safer here.”

“I understand your majesty.” Zarek said quickly.

Lord Derek's place

*******

“Liam, you will start working in the palace as one of the guard for the king.” Lord Derek said to the one sitting in front of him.

Brown hair was plastered to his forehead. The length of the hair was almost reaching his neck. The brown hair covering his sky blue eyes. His body is slightly toned.

“Father but I failed the exam. How can I work?” The slightly toned person whose name was Liam asked to confirm his suspicion.

“You are useless just like your mother, I wasn't expecting you to pass the exam in the first place. I pulled some string.” Lord Derek retorted spitefully.

“I will tell you what to do when the time is right, for now all you need to do is keep an eye on the king. I hope you won't disappoint me this time around.” He said sharply.

Liam is saddened at that but quickly masks it up with a smile.

“I won't disappoint you this time around father.” He stands up and bows before leaving the room.

********

Half-breed that was what they call my type. My mother was once a servant of Lord Derek's. My mother was in her heat which forced Lord Derek into his rut and they ended up having me. He despises my mother and so does everyone in these households.

To everyone my mom was a slut who triggered the rut of a Lord and seduced him.

Nothing I do is perfect since I'm just the product of a slut.

Useless.

Incapable.

Half breed.

My mom always said to me I must never rise above my half brothers. If I do I will become the target of my father. Since then I always make sure no matter whatever I do I make sure I fail, all my half-brothers are intelligent and scholars, I had to pretend to be a playboy who can't do without s*x and alcohol and yet still I became his target already. I'm not dumb, I know that my Father is planning on dethroning the king. Sometimes I blame my mother for having me.

If I am to start working in the palace that means Father is planning on using me as one of the tools to dethrone the king.

Just as I walked out of Father's chamber Jaxon, my servant walked up to me.

“My lord how did it go?” He asked. The only person I could say cared for me apart from my mother in this House. He has been with me for so long.

“He wants me to start working in the palace.” I replied with a shrug.

“But you…” he didn't get to finish it before one of my brothers, Jay walked past us so he quickly bowed in respect.

I didn't acknowledge him. For me we are strangers to each other. Neither did he acknowledge me. He just walked past me.

“Let's go out." I said to Jaxon.

So we left the house.

“My lord you know you don't have to pretend to be like this anymore. He already assigned you to the palace.” Jaxon quickly said to me.

“I know, I'm not going to the pleasure house Jax. I just want to take a walk to ease my mind.”

“When did he say you will start?”

“He never said….” I wanted to give him a reply but my mouth just couldn't move. It was in agape. My eyes couldn't move away from the only source of light around me. He looks beautiful. His long hair was packed in pony-tail. His green eyes drawing me into them more. His skin was pale. He looks…gorgeous. He was walking towards me.

“My lord?”

“Hello?”

Looking at him up close he looks more beautiful. Taking in his features no doubt he is an omega.

“My lord!” Jax's voice broke me out of my day-dreaming.

He was in front of me.

“Please we are new here and we are trying to get to ‘Ok-bun sewing shop’ they said it is around here” the person he was with said.

“Ok-bun sewing house? I'm on my way there, we could go together.” I said with a smile while still staring at nothing but…him. I could tell Jaxon want to protest, I gave him the eye that said ‘Shut-up and follow me’

During our walk to ok-bun I tried making some light talks to get the person to talk but he doesn't look interested only his friend whom I found out his name was ‘Roshan’ was the only one responding to me.

I think I want him.

Nameless's pov

*******

We got to the capital before the day brightened. Roshan was back to himself. The guards who brought us to the capital shared us into groups. One family in one group. Those who don't have one would stick with a family of their choices.

I was surprised when we were shown where to live. Only me, Hilda and Roshan.

I didn't know where they took the remaining groups. It seems they are scattering us in the capital.

The guard who brought us here told us this will be our home and he also said they will come back to let us know when we will start our work. I don't know if others noticed it but I think they are settling us down here for permanent living. A home and work place is given to us. So we are to stay here. What in Goddess name is the king thinking.

“Both of you go to Ok-bun sewing house and get your clothes, it seems we are going to be in capital for a long time. We can't keep wearing our formal clothes.” Hilda said while giving us a purse filled with money.

“What about you mom? Won't you buy clothes too?” Roshan raised his brow.

“I will get mine later, for now you both get yours.”

So Hilda gave us the direction but when we entered the so-called market everything was confusing. We didn't even know where to go. So Roshan walked up to a man to ask for directions, he kept staring at me which I really didn't take as an offense. I'm used to people staring at me wherever I go. He was even trying to start a conversation which I paid no mind to. After walking for some time we reached the destination…ok-bun sewing house was written in front .

“Thank you so much mister.” Roshan said to him. Just as I was about to enter the sewing house, he grabbed my hand which I shook away with a frown.

“I'm sorry if that was rude of me. I just wanted to ask your name and which household you are from.”

“Call me whatever you want and my household isn't registered as my friend said earlier, we are new in the capital.” I gave him a smile then walked into the sewing house with Roshan.

I could feel his gaze on me even when we entered the sewing house. Just what is his problem?

One of the Maiden in the Shop welcomed us and ask us what type of clothes we needed. We bought some clothes for ourselves and bought for Hilda too. I know she said she would come get it but since we knew her shape and size, we decided to get her some. Most of the clothes I got were too feminine due to the fact that the shop doesn't have a manly one for my shape and size. They keep calling me omega which I didn't really correct them .

On our way back Roshan bought alot of sweets and desserts and yet a lot of money was still remaining with us.

When we got back to our so-called home. Hilda was already preparing a meal. With just the short period we were gone she already arranged our stuff in our room. And make everything sparkling clean.

“You are back? Go take a bath before the food is ready.” She said without even glancing up at us.

“We got some clothes for you mom and a pretty shoe too.” Roshan told her excitedly.

“I thought….” She wanted to say but Roshan interrupted her.

“I know I know. You would've gotten it yourself but we knew your size so we got them for you.” Hilda signed at that before reminding us to go bath.

After we took our bath we came out to see Hilda arranging the table for food. We joined in and helped her.

While we were eating Roshan couldn't stop fantasizing about how exciting it was to be in the capital. “You guys can go somewhere fun tonight…just don't go near the palace.” Hilda muttered the last part.

“We can?” Roshan asked again all excited.

“Yes, Here in the capital night is very fun,” She replied smiling. “And both of you should not roam around too much before you get lost.” She added.

“Don't worry Hilda, You know how sharp I grab things, I will make sure we don't get lost.” I assured her in return she gave me a smile.

When we finished eating it was getting dark. How the day moves so fast today.

Roshan and I went to our separate rooms to arrange the clothes we got for ourselves. And after that we went out.

Just as Hilda said the night was so beautiful. Some people were Stargazing, some were moving on about what they were doing while some were just sitting out and enjoying themselves.

We walked hand in hand to avoid losing each other.

“Mum behavior is so strange.” Roshan said while looking up at the sky.

I agreed with him. What is with the ‘no interaction with the royal family’. How can we even meet them when we can't go near the palace.

“Should we go back now?” I asked Rohan the night wasn't getting younger and I'm just not comfortable with this many people. I'm used to staying alone on the mountain in Lowvale.

“No let's have more fun…Mum wanted us to have fun isn't that why she allowed us out.” Roshan retorted.

“Okay.” I smiled slightly.

“While we are at it, should we drink some alcohol?” Roshan asked getting all jumpy.

“We are not allowed to take alcohol, Hilda won't…”

“Hilda isn't here to stop us.”

“No we are…” I snapped

In the end he won the argument. We came to somewhere called the pleasure house.

“How did you even know this place?” I asked still hesitating.

“The guards that escorted us were talking about it and in the mid-day when we wanted to get some clothes in Ok-bun sewing house I saw it.” Roshan replied excitedly.

While we were escorted to some room we saw a lot of omega with barely anything on their body. This was no doubt a gibang house.

“What would you like for serving Lords?” An omega barely wearing anything asked. i wanted to correct her, we weren't Lords but Roshan already ordered and the omega wrote it down. “Should I get you some hot snacks along?”

“Hot snacks?” Roshan asked confusedly.

“Seems you Lords are new here, what I meant was someone to warm your beds” she asked with a smirk.

“No, we will pass” I replied her quickly myself, she nodded her head and left us alone in the room.

Just as I was about to scold Roshan, a sweet scent hit my nose Cool mint and fresh rain. It was the most soothing scent I have ever smelled in my life. Something about the scent drew me to it. It calms me down…It feels like I need it to survive.

So I did what I knew would help calm my nerves down, I followed the scent.

“Where are you going to?” I heard Roshan call out.

I keep tailing the scent. Each step I take reminds me how close I was getting to it. My body was reacting strangely to it. I'm ….hot?.

After walking for some time I stopped at a particular door. The scent was strong here. The scent was coming from this room. Just as I was about to knock on the door I was yanked inside the room. The person didn't give me time to take in my environment before they started nibbling on my neck. I wasn't scared. I wanted more.

“You smell nice.” I heard the person pulling me into their chest.

Mate….
