Shanghai, at the 60th annual Film Festival Awards ceremony.

This was undoubtedly a star-filled night, even the surrounding colorful lights seemed more dazzling than usual. The cameras' flashes were as bright as day, the carefully crafted diamonds on the dresses were shining brightly, and the stars of the entertainment circle were all dressed up, walking gracefully through the red carpet, revealing a flawless smile to the camera.

However, the presence of one person made the screams that had filled the area suddenly reached it's peak.

"Ji Ran! Ji Ran! "

The long-awaited fans lifted the fluorescent boards on their hands and called the man's name.Immediately after, all the photographers also pointed their cameras at that person's direction.

The man appearing at the end of the red carpet was the most popular movie star in the Entertainment circle: Ji Ran.

The man was wearing a white long gown, with a black hat adorning his head. The traditional styled clothing accentuated his tall and slender figure. He stopped on the red carpet, his whole persona exuding a gentle and warm aura.

Walking by his side was a newly debuted female artist named Xie Shi Qi, a pale blue cheongsam lining her exquisite stature, and a delicate hairpin crowning her flowing black hair. She looked dignified and elegant, while also maintaining her natural sexy charm as a woman.

They were a perfect match for each other. Their matching traditional clothes were based on the image of a pair of hero and heroine from a recent popular box office movie.

Xie Shi Qi set her foot on the red carpet with her arm linked with Ji Ran's. Her fingers clenched in obvious tense at Ji Ran's hand.

Ji Ran smiled, patted the back of her hand to express comfort, then said softly: "Don't be nervous, just walk slowly. Look more to the right, there are several large web site reporters there, pay attention to your expression, let them get a few good shots of you. "

"Okay." Sheshichi nodded. In addition of always being serious when filming, Ji Ran was also always extremely considerate in treating girls, therefore, over the years there had never been any gossip spread about him. In a top class entertainment circle, this was a rare feat.

The two of them faced the cameras together, and the host immediately handed over a microphone to them: "Welcome to Mr. Ji Ran and Miss Xie Qi Shi!"

Ji Ran took the microphone, smiled and said: "Hello everyone, I am Ji Ran."

His smile was very bright, appeared like the sun in front of the cameras, many of his fans burst into an immediate exaggerated screaming match when they saw this magnified smile of his.

The host was also entranced by his brilliant smile, and when he finally came back from this trance, he asked Ji Ran: "Cough, Mr. Ji, heard in the 'Troubled Time ' filming process you have never used stuntman when doing the fighting scene, is this true? "

As we all knew, when it came to difficult martial arts, a lot of stars would use a stunt to complete it, but Tijan never did, all difficult plays were done by himself. Regarding this, people started to spread all sorts of rumors, some said that he came from a martial arts family, others said that he had learned the fist Kungfu in his childhood, in a word--this star had extraordinary skill, especially when doing martial arts.

The host went on to say: "The 'Trouble Time' has many fighting scenes, there are also some parts where you have to be kicked and punched in the air, these dangerous scenes, you also did them personally?"

Ji Ran answered frankly: "Yes, this play of fighting action for me is not difficult, do not need to use martial arts skill."

The host was surprised: "So the rumor about you being a black belt in Karate is true?" "

Ji Ran smiled: "Yes, I have also learned some Boxing and Tai Chi. I have been interested in these since childhood."

"..." the host exclaimed, "It seems I should be more careful not offend you, otherwise I will be beaten badly by you."

Ji Ran said: "Fortunately, I don't usually hit people easily."

"What will happen when you hit someone?"

Ji Ran laughed: "I will make them regret being born as a human being."

Everyone: "....."

There was a deafening scream from the scene, and some excited fans even shouted "sadism", "Beat it" and "Do it live"!

A drop of sweat rolled down the host's forehead, and he finally decided not to discuss this topic anymore, handing the microphone to the Xie Shi Qi, "It's your first time acting with Ji Ran, how do you feel?"

Xie Shi Qi said: "Ji Ran Senior's popularity is very high, and I'm just a new debut. In the beginning, I feel very big pressure, afraid that my own performance will not be good enough, but I never thought, even though this senior is always especially serious when filming, but he is also very caring for rookies, always accompanying me patiently in the play, he also taught me a lot of skills, I gained many benefits from working with him."

Ji Ran looked back at her, smiled and encouraged: "You are flattering me too much. She also has worked very hard, and I'm happy to have a chance to cooperate with her."

The two of them had tacit understanding, and the host would have liked to explore it more, however due to the time limit, he only had enough to ask a few simple questions before he had to let them into the venue.

The ceremony soon began, the announcement of each award was always followed by a scene of applause. The audiences were waiting for the last heavyweight "Best Actor" award, the film festival this time also coincided with it's 60 anniversary, so the competitions were unusually fierce, the finalists, in addition to the traditional themed film "Troubled Time", there were also a light and fresh Love film starred by a popular actress, a sci-fi movie which cost billions in its large production, as well as a tear-jerking affection drama, each film had a very high evaluation in the box office.

The honored guests stalled for a few minutes, before finally announcing the answer: "I hereby announce that the winner of the 60th annual Film Festival Best Actor is ... Troubled Time, Ji Ran!"

The scene of applause following this announcement was amazing, the cheering and screaming almost enough to overturn the roof, Ji Ran fans were so excited to the point of crying.

Although the competition was intense, for Ji Ran to win this best actor award, still well-deserved!

Ji Ran hugged his friends around him, then walked to the stage, took the special trophy, smiled and said: "I am extremely grateful to Liu for presenting this to me. I am grateful to the support of my company. I thank the crew for their hard work. And also thanks to the people who have always been supporting and encouraging me! Thank you!"

His smile had always been so sincere, pure, right from the beginning of his career, so that sun-like smile had become his trademark. Even though right now he had grown to be a popular superstar who had won two Grand Prix awards, the feeling he gave off is still the same as that young and warm teenager who smiled and said, "I really like acting," all those years ago.

Careful people could find that every time he won an award, his winning speech never included a thank you for his family. Because he did not have family.

It was a secret that the reporters took a long time to peel out. In fact, Ji Ran grew up in an orphanage, he had gone through many hardships throughout his debut. When he was young, he often played cannon fodder passers-by on TV. For a long time, he even struggled to fulfill his basic needs of clothing and food, but he was always optimistic, open-minded, always conveying a positive image in interviews, he never complained about his hardship, he did not even once mentioned his own background in an attempt to win sympathy.

His achievements were all thanks to his firm and steadfast steps. So, even when he faced many criticism for winning the best actor award last year, he never felt guilty. And today, this win, would finally serve as a prove his strength.

While holding the trophy and smiling brilliantly, Ji Ran stepped down from the stage.

At the gala dinner that night, all the movie crew came to toast for Ji Ran, celebrating his second best actor winning. Tijan also did not refuse, simply took the drink lightly, however he was not a good drinker, and soon became drunk on the sofa.

Xie Shi Qi looked at his frowning face, and could not help but reach out a hand to soothe his brow. Unexpectedly, the hand just stretched out, but was stopped by another hand.

"Miss Xie, people like him is so easy to take advantage of, right?" Suddenly came a joking voice, it's Jiran's agent - Yu Qian.

The manager surnamed Yu was also a powerful player, the name sounds humble and gentle, his surface appearance was also elegant, and gentle, smiling all day posing a harmless human appearance, but people on this circle knew, this man scheming was deep,his background complex, whoever dared to offend him, he absolutely had the means to crush them.

Xie Shi Qii's mind was punctured, she immediately took her hand back in panic, using them to cover the hair around her ears instead. She then smiled and said: "Mr. Yu, you think too much, I just see him looking very uncomfortable, so I want to give him a glass of water to drink."

"Really?" Yu Qian smiled and came closer, whispered in her ears with a low voice,"Ji Ran never have a plan to find a girlfriend, you'd better not have any idea about him. Since the play is finished, it is better to get out of the play as soon as possible ... What do you think? "

Having said his piece, he then gently hugged up the man on the sofa, causing Xie Shi Qi's eyes to widen in surprise before quickly tuned her head away.

When Ji Ran woke up, he found himself lying in his bedroom bed. It was just dawn, but his biological clock made him habitually get up at 7 o'clock in the morning. His head felt painful because of hangover. Ji Ran rubbed his temple, then quickly finished washing himself, after changing his clothes, he went to the gym next door to do his daily morning exercise.

The morning exercise consisted of doing a few familiar karate moves, fist punching, legs kicking, his movement was extremely handsome, the white clothes and the black belt between his waist outlined the tension in his body, making him looked like a ferocious beast in the forest, as long as someone dared to get close to him, he could absolutely use one punch to break their nose.

He was like a beautiful leopard, with his near perfect body line, looking very slender, and yet hiding an amazing explosive force ...

Yu Qian stood at the door, always smiling to appreciate his movements. He waited until he finished the whole set of exercise, then handed over a towel and a long prepared hot milk to him, saying: "Today is the beginning of the holiday given to you by the company, why are you still up so early?"

Ji Ran took the towel, wiped his face, shook his arm, drunk his milk, and said: "Getting up early is a good habit, right ...By the way, what's the plan for today? "

Yu Qian saw a few drops of milk stains on his lips and chuckled, reaching out to help him wipe it, then said: "The nearby seaside has a resort, the scenery is also good, really quiet, and it has an open-air swimming pool that you like, want to go there to relax?"

Ji Ran who was completely unbothered by Yu Qian's previous action finished drinking milk, and gave a quick pat on the other man's shoulder: "Good idea, I'd like to swim."

After breakfast, the two of them set out together, with Yu Qian driving the car and Ji Ran sat in the passenger seat, listening to a song leisurely.

While listening, Ji Ran couldn't help but ask: "When will my next filming begin?"

Yu Qian looked back at him, his eyes full of helplessness: "This is just the start of your holiday, and you are already so restless?"

Ji Ran played with his hair carelessly: "Holiday is so boring, might as well go on filming. Next time, you can go apply to the company, not to give such a long holiday. "

"...... You are the only star who has applied for a shortened holiday with the company." Yu Ying smiled, shook his head, and said, "The next play is a sci-fi theme, you're going to be a prince of the Empire, it's your first sci-fi movie, it's challenging. Recharge your energy first, wait for March. "

Talking about filming, Ji Ran was immediately excited: "Great, I like sci-fi theme, I'll go back to see the script several times ..."

The car just turned to the corner, they suddenly saw a truck which seemed to have a brake failure, approaching fast in their direction.

"--Be careful! "

Yu Qian quickly turned the steering wheel and slammed on the brakes, when he saw they were going to crash with the truck, he immediately leaped to protect Ji Ran's body, putting Ji Ran in the protection of his embrace.

There was a loud "bang" sounding in their ears, and their body felt so painful to the point of making them losing consciousness, the overwhelming sprinkle of broken glass pierced their skin, and their vision turned as red as blood.

Before completely losing his consciousness, the only thing Ji Ran remembered thinking was: life really is filled with more drama and tragedy than in the movies, we were just casually driving out to relax ourselves, how can suddenly become involved in a car accident?!

______________________________________

Ji Ran woke up to the sound of some weird voices. As the sound began to gradually cleared up, he recognized it was actually a mechanized female voice with an emotionless tone. The voice said: "Queen, Your Majesty was still in the middle of a military meeting, but he have learned the news about your premature delivery, and is heading for the Imperial Palace now."

Then came a woman's gentle voice: "Yes."

--Your Majesty? Queen？Is someone watching TV?

Ji Ran felt a bit unsure, he remembered he and his broker were driving on his holiday and then encountered an unlucky accident. According to normal logic, at that time their injuries should not be light, so he should be in hospital right now. But why were these strange conversations happening here? Was the patient in this ward watching TV?

Ji Ran opened his eyes, hoping it would make whoever it was making those voices to turn their volume down. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his eyes, a woman's face appeared in his sight.

The woman looked very beautiful, with skin as white as jade, a small exquisite figure, a pair of bright and clear black eyes, and thick black curls scattered around her head. Although her hair was a bit messy, her facial expression looked slightly pale, but her body still gave off a kind of gentle aura, prompting people to like her even at first glance.

To Ji Ran's surprise, the woman was very close to him, it felt like he had shrunk into a baby size and was carried in her arms.

The woman gently stroked his head, and smiled when she saw him opening his eyes: "Xi Wei, be good, father will come soon to see you."

Ji Ran: "....."

It's not a TV show, it's a nightmare.

Ji Ran stretched out his hand, wanting to bite on it to make himself sober, however, tragically, as a newborn baby he had no teeth, so even if he put his hands in his mouth he had nothing to bite it with.

The woman smiled as she saw the baby in her bosom trying to push his small hand into his mouth. She gently took his hand back, and said: "He must be hungry, quick, bring me some food to give to him."

"Yes, Queen. " The robotic female voice answered, then, immediately a small silver trolley rolled automatically to the bedside. The woman took a bottle of best quality baby nutrition milk from the trolley, poured it in a similar bottle-like device, and then stuffed the tip into Ji Ran's mouth while encouraging softly: " Eat it."

Ji Ran: "........"

This nightmare is terrible.

Ji Ran really wanted to call his broker over to shake him awake, but in his memory, he could remember very clearly the full-of-blood appearance of his agent after that accident. His wounds were even more serious than Ji Ran himself, therefore right now he should be in a coma.

Perhaps my injuries were too heavy it's causing me to have some brain damage, that's why I have this strange dream?

Ji Ran struggled to force himself to wake up from this nightmare, but still, nothing changed . Instead, this dream got even more complicated as a man suddenly opened the door and came into the room.

The woman saw him and immediately rejoiced: "Your Majesty."

The man walked closer to the bedside, reached out a hand to hold her, and said softly: "Anna, it's been hard on you. How did you suddenly have premature birth? Are you okay? "

"I'm all right." Queen Anna smiled and said, "The doctor came in time, the operation was very smooth, and the child is healthy."

"Then that's good. Come, show me the child," said His Majesty with a sigh of relief.

The shrinking version of Ji Ran was transferred to His Majesty's bosom. Ji Ran took a careful look at the man with his big eyes, and found out that this man is still very young, had a handsome and tough features, with a powerful yet kind aura. The man's eyes became extremely soft as he looked at the baby in his arms and pinched his cheek gently.

Now Ji Ran really felt like crying-because their touches were real and not like a dream at all. These two people's arms, their breaths, he could really feel them, especially when His Majesty pinched him, his face could clearly feel the man's powerful fingers.

The King hugged his son for a moment, before returning him to the Queen's hands. He asked, "Craig, is the expert in charge of genetic identification here yet?"

A man in uniform came forward respectfully and said gravely: "Answering Your Majesty, Professor Brown has just taken his people to General Byron's home to give genetic identification to his newly born son when Queen's premature delivery information reached him, they are on the way to the palace now, and are expected to arrive in 1 minute."

His Majesty Trand frowned slightly: "General Byron of the Star Corps? Was his baby born today too? "

"Yes." Craig replied, "The time of birth was 3 o'clock in the afternoon, 5 minutes before the big prince."

"What is the result of his appraisal?"

"Alpha Male. " Just as Craig finished saying this, the ring on his finger suddenly lit up and immediately reported: " Your Majesty, Professor Brown and his people have reached the entrance of the palace, and now are currently stopped by the Royal Guard. "

Trand nodded and said, "Let them in."

***

A moment later, three people came in together, wearing a clean white coat, led by a man wearing glasses with gray hair, apparently they were the so-called "expert",

They came forward respectfully and saluted: "Your Majesty."

His Majesty Trand waved his hand and said humbly: "Do genetic identification on the big prince."

"Yes, sir. "

Those three people hurriedly crowded around the newborn baby, the old man then took a needle, grabbed the child's arm and stabbed down.

Ji Ran: "........"

The sharp stinging coming from his arm was indeed the painful feeling of a needle piercing one's skin. The real pain seemed to be telling him clearly: it is not a dream, but a more terrifying reality than a dream.

Logically, scenes and dialogues should not be so clear in dreams, and dreams were often happened incoherently, but now, Ji Ran discovered that that the looks and sounds of everyone around him were very clear, and their dialogue very complete, as if they were immersive.

Did I die in that car accident?

And then reborn again, with my past memory intact?

If that was the case, then it would explain his current situation. But what he could not understand was, that although he could understand the people around him, many of their words had no clear meaning. This seemed to be a strange world, at least in his knowledge, he had never heard of any dynasty or foreign royal family that had to do genetic identification right after birth, and he also had no clue what's the meaning of that "alpha" result.

The old man divided the blood taken into two halves, one half was stored, and the other half was put into an instrument for testing.

The big screen on that instrument showed weird numbers and graphics, much like a DNA gene chain that he once learned in biology class, and though Ji Ran didn't know what those numbers and graphs mean, but he could still recognize the letters written on the identification result.

--Omega? What the hell is this?

"Your Majesty, the result showed that the big Prince is an Omega male."The old professor said excitedly with bright eyes, "and his mental strength reached 120, for a newborn baby, such high mental strength is extremely rare. "

The old man is really excited, so the result of the appraisal seems to be good?

His Majesty, however, did not show a slightest pleased look, he only nodded calmly, and said, "I understand, call the people from Omega Protection Association to register his data."

Not long after, three more people came into the room, wearing uniformed white clothes, presumably the so-called "Omega Protection Association". They did not only enter the detailed result of his genetic identification into the database, but also took the big Prince's fingerprints, pupil detail, and other information, all of them were recorded.

Then His Majesty took out a platinum-gold card, grabbed his son's hand and pressed it on the card. Ji Ran didn't know what it's for, but as soon as his hand pressed down on it, the card emitted a soft platinum-colored light with a line of small characters on it, seemingly very high-end.

The king returned the card and the child back to the Queen, saying, "Xi Wei's identity card will be kept by you for the time being. "

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Queen took her son, and saved the card carefully.

Ji Ran finally realized that the platinum-gold card must be his identification card--he was just born, but he not only had to do genetic identification, but also had to use his fingerprints to make an identity card, this really is a very strange world.

The group of people gathered around the newly-born prince to register all kinds of data, and then left after finishing their work, leaving only three person there, the baby, His Majesty and the Queen.

Queen Anna was evidently fond her son, tenderly coaxing him in her arms. On the other hand, His Majesty Trand seemed not very happy, looking at the baby who was nestled in Anna's bosom. Trand reached out and touched his son's head, sighing softly.

"What's the matter, Your Majesty?" Anna saw him sighing and asked hesitantly, "Xi Wei is an Omega, you ... You don't like it? "

Trand was silent for a moment, before finally whispered: "How can it be? This is our first child, of course I like it. "

Only then would Anna calmed her heart down, gently holding the baby's small hands. Seeing this scene, Trand also could not help but smile, stretching out his hand to hold his wife and son's hands in his bigger one.

This view gave off a very wonderful feeling, the child's hand was gently held by the mother, and then both of their hands were covered by the father's generous and powerful palm, three hands together, is this what it feels like to have a family?

Ji Ran could not help but felt moved. God really did treat him fairly, after experiencing a car accident, He gave him a new opportunity to live, also allow him to finally have the parents he never had.

In his previous life, he grew up in an orphanage and didn't know who his parents were, so he never knew the warmth of home. When he was a child, every time he saw some children with their parents, he always felt particularly envious. When he grew up, he tried to find his parents, but eventually he found nothing. No father, and no mother, this was his deepest regret.

Now he had become a child, it didn't matter what kind of world this was, at least, he finally had his own father and mother.

Although there were a lot of unfinished business in his original world, like the fact that he had just won the best actor award, which made him still very unwilling to let go, but it's not like he had any other choice. He didn't know how to go back, and in addition of the very obvious fact that he was just a newborn baby right now, he also had the identity as a "Big Prince", if someone found out something was wrong with him, he might be taken and sliced open in the name of research.

'Now that I need to do it all over again, I'll just try to start over,'Ji Ran thought optimisticly, after all, he played so many roles in his last life, acting as a good child should not be difficult.

But he had to figure out what "Omega" meant as soon as possible.

He could see that His Majesty father did not seem too pleased to know that he was an "omega".

----------------------------------------------

______________________________

The baby's daily life felt incredibly boring. There was nothing to do every day except for eating and sleeping. Fortunately Ji Ran was an actor that had great adaptability, so he soon became accustomed to his new name "Xi Wei", and his new identity as the "First Prince". He had also figured out where the mechanized female voice he heard yesterday came from; it actually originated from Queen Anna's AI (Artificial intelligence) housekeeper, Bo Er.

The technology in this world was more developed than his original world, even beyond what he had imagined his original world's future would be like. The AI housekeeper, Bo Er, did not have any entity, she was only an invisible Intelligence Center that existed in Queen Anna's sleeping quarters to take care of the Queen's daily life. Every day she would follow a certain schedule to send a small trolley of nutritious meals to the Queen's bedside, and when someone approached the room, she would automatically activate a layer of electronic protection in front of the door, preventing them from disturbing the Queen. If other people wanted to visit the Queen, they must get the Queen's consent first. Only then would Bo Er open the door for them.

In addition, whatever activities the Queen wanted to do, Bo Er immediately tried to assist her master in doing.

For example, if the Queen wanted to go out with her child to bask in the sun, then Bo Er would help her to open the balcony door, as well as preparing a comfortable chair for her. If the Queen felt hot, then Bo Er would immediately turn the room's temperature down. If the Queen wanted to eat fruit, a trolley filled with chopped fruits would immediately be delivered to her.

Xi Wei thought it was quite amazing. Queen Anna lived a very enjoyable life, anything she wanted she could have, she lived everyday like a God. But on the other hand, she stayed in the palace all day, almost completely isolated from the outside world. Except for her occasional meetings with the King, she had no interaction with other people.

It was impossible for Xi Wei to learn more about this world, because every day he was being held in the arms of this isolated mother of his. So far, the only things he knew were: he was the first son of Queen Anna and King Trent, the First Prince of the Empire, and that he was an Omega Male. Anything else he still did not know, even the meaning of omega is still unclear for him.

***

Seven days after Xi Wei came into this world, the Queen's Palace finally had its first visitor.

At that time, Xi Wei was nestled in Queen Anna's bosom, drinking a bottle of nutritious milk , when Bo Er suddenly talked in her mechanized voice: "Queen, Prince Berg wants to see you."

Anna was surprised, and said: "Berg is back? Let him come in. "

--Prince Berg? Who is this?

Xi Wei turned his head curiously, opening his eyes and looking towards the doorway. Soon, he saw a slender man come in. The man was dressed very casually, wearing only a simple white shirt and slacks, a gentle and kind smile adorning his face.

"Queen, I heard that Xi Wei was born early. I just returned to the palace, so now I have come here to see him." The man had a soft voice, he stood two meters away from the Queen, looking at the baby in her arms. Xi Wei thought the man looked very delicate, but without appearing weak in the slightest. He had that kind of gentle temperament that would made other people feel like they were being grazed by a spring breeze, so peaceful and calm.

The man turned his gaze to the Queen, smiled, and asked, "The Queen suddenly had premature delivery, is your body OK?"

Queen Anna smiled and answered: "I'm fine despite this premature delivery, although there were some accidents, but the child was born very healthy. Do you want to hold him?"

"Yes, please." Berg stretched out his hand to hold the child, then looked down at the baby who was now in his arms, and said, "This child has really big eyes and looks very lively."

Anna smiled: "Your brother King said that this child is a bit like you. Both of you are Omegas, but when you were born, your mental strength test results exceeded 100."

"Really? His test results are also so high ... " Berg touched Xi Wei's head thoughtfully and asked," Where's brother? "

"His Majesty has been very busy recently, it seems something is happening in the military, I have not seen him for several days."

"Oh." Berg looked down at the child, and fell silent for a moment, before saying, "Right, I have a little present for Xi Wei." He took out a silver necklace from his pocket, with a blue water-drop shaped pendant on it, it emitted a soft glow in the light, which made it look very beautiful.

"This is a protection charm, hopefully it will bring good luck to Xi Wei." Berg put the necklace on Xi Wei's neck, then returned the child to the Queen.

Anna hugged her son, grabbed his little hand, and said, "Xi Wei, thank Uncle for the gift."

Xi Wei shook his small hand to express his thanks.

Anna couldn't help laughing: "Good boy, really clever."

However, at that moment, Berg's gaze suddenly turned focused, he looked at the child in Anna's Bosom and asked: "He can understand what we are talking about?"

Anna frowned: "How can it be? He was born only a week ago, there's no way he could understand anything. "

Berg did not speak, he only kept on staring at Xi Wei.

Xi Wei suddenly felt a little regret. It seemed like this uncle wasn't very simple. Xi Wei was just responding subconsciously, but he was actually able to sense that something was not right? Thinking of this, Xi Wei immediately shook both of his hands, making a "wants to be hugged" gesture, reaching out his hands in his uncle's direction.

Seeing this silly but cute action, Berg also could not help but laugh: "Yes, maybe I'm thinking too much. Queen, I have to go back now, I'll come again another day to see him. "

Only after his uncle left did Xi Wei finally feel relieved. He took his hands back, and snuggled into his mother's bosom once again.

He really liked the gentle scent coming off Queen Anna. Being in a mother's embrace somehow gave him a rare feeling of safety in this strange new world.

From the conversation between the two adults before, he could conclude that "Uncle Berg" must be the King's brother, his own uncle. He's also an "Omega,", although he didn't look any different from other men except for his more delicate looks. So what was the point of being judged after birth? What is the difference between Alpha and Omega?

Xi Wei did not understand, and was too tired to think further about it, so he just closed his eyes and went to sleep.

***

For the next few days, Uncle Berg came to see him every day.

Once, Queen Anna was feeling sleepy and wanted to nap, so Berg offered to take Xi Wei outside. Queen Anna agreed without hesitation. After all, the palace was a very safe place, and the child also had Berg to look after him, so she didn't need to worry.

While his uncle was carrying him out of the palace, Xi Wei discovered that the Imperial Palace was actually much larger than he imagined. There were rows upon rows of magnificent looking white buildings, with a unifying sign on each of them—almost every building was decorated with a lot of shiny dots, which would form the shape of a constellation when connected. From time to time, people in white military uniforms would walk through the Royal Palace, presumably they were the "Royal Guards."

Berg brought Xi Wei to his palace. In Xi Wei's opinion, his uncle's palace was very special. It was a bit unusual because there was no luxurious decor there. Instead, the place was filled with many strange metal machines; it almost felt like walking into a manufacturing plant.

Xi Wei looked around curiously, and Berg took him to the couch, then sighed, "Xi Wei, to be born into the royal family, I really don't know whether you are lucky or unlucky."

Xi Wei pretended not to understand, using his small hands to play with the blue necklace hanging on his neck.

Berg continued: "If you were alpha, as the First Prince of the Empire, you would surely inherit His Majesty's throne. Unfortunately, you are an omega ... You can only stay in the palace like me, and when you reach adulthood, His Majesty will choose the right alpha to marry and have children with you. "

Xi Wei's hand suddenly paused--wait, did he hear it wrong?

Getting married and having children? Alpha and Omega can marry and have children? Who will be the one to give birth then? Since I'm an omega, it should be the alpha, right?

But Berg stopped at this critical moment, he looked down at the child in his lap and said: "Your eyes actually got wider, are you curious about what I was saying?"

Xi Wei: "..."

Berg continued: "If you understand,extend your right hand. If you don't understand, extend your left hand."

Xi Wei stretched out both of his hands.

Berg smiled, grabbed the child's hands, and whispered, "I wish you would grow up quickly, I wish you could understand what I'm saying, so that I can teach you about a lot of things, and maybe you will be able to accomplish the dreams that I failed to achieve."

Uncle Berg seemed to be lost in thought. Although he was smiling, it could not hide the lost expression showing on his face.

Xi Wei felt a little puzzled; he focused his ears and began to listen carefully.

Berg then went on to say: "I like you, your mental strength, incredibly, scored above 100. Ordinarily, even children from royal and military families usually only have around 60 mental strength. Do you know what this means? This means that if we were alpha, we would be able to manipulate the Empire's strongest S-class Intelligent Machine Armor. Those simple and muscle-brained alphas would have no strength to fight us."

"Right now, in the entire Empire, there are only few people who can control S-class armor, and except for His Majesty, all the other ones are military generals. Unfortunately, omegas can't join the military. Even if you are a prince, you still don't have the qualifications to get an advanced level machine armor, the only thing you can do is to study about them secretly ... "

Xi Wei finally understood the reason behind his uncle's bad mood; it was probably because of his wasted "talent". He was very interested in "machine armor", and those odd metals in his room were the "machine armor" he had developed. According to him, only a few people could have S-class armor, the highest level of intelligent machine. The development process of those S-class armors must be very complex. His uncle who was working alone obviously would be unable to complete it, and that was why he felt lost? Because his talent became useless? And that's only because he was born as an omega?

Xi Wei suddenly had a bad feeling.

According to Uncle Berg, an Alpha Prince can inherit the throne, while an Omega Prince's only option was to marry and have children when they entered adulthood. He is also an omega, so wouldn't he be like Uncle Berg? In the future only able to stay in the palace until the day His Majesty arranged a marriage for him? Wasn't that the same as becoming a tool for a political marriage?

But it doesn't matter, Xi Wei thought optimistically, I'm only a newborn right now, far from adulthood. He was sure that later he could use his accumulated life experiences and his ability to understand the conversations around him, and slowly look for opportunities to change his destiny.

***

One afternoon, one month after Xi Wei was born, a strange woman came to the palace to visit Queen Anna.

In contrast with Queen Anna's black hair, dark eyes, and gentle temperament, the woman who had just arrived had a long blond hair, eyes as blue as sky, and a very decisive voice, obviously a really straightforward person.

Anna seemed delighted to see her. She immediately took her to the sitting-room, and asked the AI Housekeeper to pour a cup of hot tea and prepare a table full of fruit for her.

Strangely, the woman also held a child in her arms. When Anna's sight fell on the child, she quickly rushed to hold him, the expression on her face was so full of love, as if she was looking at her own son, "Grace, this is your and Admiral Byron's son? So cute! "

Grace smiled and answered, "Yes, he was born on the same day as His Majesty the Prince, only 5 minutes earlier. I would have liked to bring him here earlier to visit the Queen and the First Prince, but was unable to find the opportunity. However, I remember that today the king and all the generals would go to have dinner together, so I think the Queen must be quite bored, that's why I took him here. We are not disturbing you are we? "

"There are only two of us here, you don't have to be polite." Anna smiled and said, "Right, what's his name?"

"His name is Klaire. "

"Klaire, that sounds good ... He's an alpha, right? I'm sure he will grow up strong like his father, and become a good general in the future." Anna held Klaire in her arms for a while until her arms finally became tired. She then put him in Xi Wei's crib and went together with Grace to eat some fruits.

The two of them ate and chatted, exchanging experiences of giving birth to and caring for their children.

Xi Wei did not have any interest in this topic, so he was bored. He turned his gaze to the little guy lying next to him and, at the same time, Klaire also turned to look at him. Their eyes met, and Xi Wei found himself thinking how beautiful this child's eyes were, the color as blue as the sky, just like his mother's eyes.

Klaire, on the other hand, seemed to think the child in front of him looked very cute, so to express his affection, he took the initiative to go over and kissed Xi Wei's face.

Xi Wei, "......"

Too lazy to care about this little guy, Xi Wei turned away and ignored him.

As a result, Klaire, in order to make the other boy acknowledge his existence, actually came over and gave Xi Wei another kiss, this time right on his mouth.

Xi Wei finally had had enough; he quickly pushed Klaire away, and gave him a convenient punch with his fist.

Little Klaire, who was beaten, immediately opened his mouth and cried: "Woaaa Wooa hoo .."

The two mothers, who were eating fruit, looked back in surprise. They saw Klaire, who was crying with his nose flushed red, while Xi Wei was sleeping with his eyes closed next to him.

The two mothers looked at each other, silently wondering what could have happened.

Meanwhile, Xi Wei secretly thought in annoyance, Whose child is this, can you hurry and take him away?
