Episode 7

Vania never imagined that from one moment to the next she would end up being thrown out of the castle and all because of that omega. Rina accompanies her to the carriage, listening to her complaints about being unfairly thrown out.

“The master already knew the kind of woman you were and you just gave him the perfect excuse to throw you out,” Rina tells her.

"That's a lie, the master thinks I'm the bad one, but that omega was only pretending, I didn't hurt him," she complains.

“And you think the master doesn't know that?”

“What?, t...that...”

“I told you, your attitudes as mistress of the castle had him fed up, what happened with the omega boy, he only used to get you out of the castle. Vania, the master doesn't love you, he never has and I hope that away from this place, you can understand that so that you can move on with your life.” Rina closes the carriage door.

Before Vania can say anything else or try to get out of the carriage, Rina orders the coachman to start. From the window of an office, Frederick watches the carriage drive away, finally that girl is gone, and it is that for some time he had planned to send her away, since he had received complaints from the maids and servants, about her abuse of power and her arrogance in believing herself to be the mistress of the castle, so what Beryl did has served him very well as an excuse, he even can't help but smile when he remembers the dramatic performance of that omega.

Beryl, for his part, finally managed to approach the knights to ask for their help, explaining that he doesn't know about mana because his family didn't allow him to study and that led him to be a weak and sickly omega, so now that his days at the castle will be few, he wants to learn a little self-defense.

“You know that a lone omega outside these walls is an omega prone to being attacked,” he says with the saddest expression possible.

The knights look at each other, they can't help but feel a little sorry for that omega.

“Be the difference, you will have the pride of saying, I taught that omega to defend himself. And now, he is a good and successful omega,” he dramatizes.

“I don't see why we couldn't help him…” adds one of the knights.

“Right, we also have time,” replies another.

“I think it would be good if he knew how to defend himself,” another continues.

The knights present who listened to Beryl feel that he is right, and that is that they have seen firsthand how omegas have been mistreated by others, and have even witnessed attempted abuse, luckily, they have defended the omegas in danger and they have seen how bad they get when they are attacked, so that kind and small omega deserves to learn to defend himself.

¤¤¤¤¤¤

For the following days, the knights had already become fond of Beryl and taught him everything possible, they even saw that he is quite a skilled boy, he learns quickly, since in less than a week, he managed to have good fencing postures and Furthermore, he taught them that he is already learning to control his mana, creating spells, that although they don't do much damage, it is already a great advance for him, since it was the first time he had tried to do magic.

Frederick was informed of this by Rina, he even watches the movements of that omega from afar and it seems that he has become the mascot of the knights, because they even bring him sweets when he finishes training. At this rate, it seems that it would not be difficult for Beryl to survive outside the castle, since he knows how to gain the trust of a group of alphas and betas, assuming that none of them have bad intentions towards the omega.

"Little one, I brought you strawberries, my mother grows them in her garden." The knight hands him a small bag of strawberries.

“Oh! They look juicy,” he tries one. “Delicious, tell your mom that her strawberries are the best,” giving a thumbs up.

And there he was, like a little hamster devouring strawberries, the knights find it cute to see him like that, since he was much smaller than them, one could even say that he is shorter than an average woman.

“Little one, how are your magic practices going?” another knight asks curiously.

"Mmm... more or less." He puts down the strawberries and stands up. He recites an incantation that makes a seal glow on his hand and a pink flame emerges from it. What Beryl doesn't understand is why pink? “Look, it keeps coming out that color.”

Another of the knights tells him that he should take advantage, since if it looks like that color, his enemy might believe that the flame does no damage, but when he uses it against him, it will probably surprise him and cause a lot of damage to his enemy. Beryl is left thinking upon hearing this and smiles.

"Right, I hadn't thought of that, they'll think I'm weak, but in reality I'll be a lethal weapon that kills them five times before they hit the ground," he laughs.

The knights encourage him at his words. Frederick, who was not far from the place, could hear everything and lets out a heavy sigh, at this rate, they only raise that omega's ego more.

Later, Frederick sent for Beryl, more than a week has passed and he still hasn't made up his mind, not that he wants to kick him out, but in a few days, he will go with Rina to a nearby town, where he could leave him if he plans to leave the castle. When Beryl entered the office he sat before the dragon and stared at him.

"I'm not leaving, but I'm not working for you either," he asserts.

"If you don't work, you don't eat and you'll have to sleep outside," he replies.

“No, I've thought about it and, you kidnapped me, I'm your prisoner, so until someone comes to my rescue, I'm forced to stay, but without working and as a prisoner, you must keep me alive,” he assures.

Frederick just watches him, his gaze incredulous and confused, was the omega really saying such nonsense? Well, the redhead's gaze said it all, and yes, he seemed to be serious. Frederick slams his hands on his desk.

"If you stay you work, if you don't work, you leave," he says authoritatively.

“No, if you kick me out of the castle and something happens to me, it will be on your conscience, I will become a ghost and haunt you every night,” he replies seriously.

Frederick brings his hand to his forehead and lets out a heavy sigh.

"This has to be a joke. Listen carefully, omega, I don't care what happens to you outside of my castle, if you don't want to work, you leave,” he was already getting angry.

"No, I'm a prisoner, and until I'm rescued, I'm not leaving," he says again.

“Well…”

Minutes later, the bars close leaving the omega behind them, he immediately grabs the bars of the cell and begins to shake them.

“This is inhumane, they cannot treat me like this, it is dirty and there are rats. I deserve to be treated like a human and not like an animal," he yells.

“You are a prisoner, prisoners stay in their cells and only eat oatmeal once a day,” Frederick replies.

“What?, That goes against my prisoner rights, I deserve to eat three times a day and drink water, and wine, and I deserve my bathroom.” He points to the toilet in the corner. “I won't relieve myself in that thing, everyone will see my things.” He shakes the bars.

Frederick just walks away, while listening to the omega's complaints.

“I want my lawyer, I will sue for my rights…”
