Episode 8

"Imprisoned omega, evil omega, he committed a crime in his past, omega wants freedom, he can't get it anymore, because he is an omeegaaa~ from jail." he howls.

"Shut up already, it's three in the morning and you won't let anyone sleep." the prisoner next to him yells at him.

"Yes, shut up, damn bitch." another one yells.

"Come and shut me up if you can, filthy rats... oops, you can't, because you're locked up like me."He lets out a laugh.

And so begins the abuse in the dungeons in the middle of the night, everyone yelling and insulting each other, while Beryl continues singing. The next day, the guards inform Frederick of what happened during the night and even now, Beryl is arguing with the prisoners.

"You can get him out now." he orders.

He never imagined that a single omega would be such a headache.

"You know, Your Majesty, perhaps it is time for you to find a wife, and young Beryl is a very cute omega." suggests Rina as she serves him tea.

"Marry him? You must be joking, Rina. Anyway, if I wanted to get married, it wouldn't be with him." he complains.

"Why not? I like him, the knights like him, and the servants like him too. I think if he leaves, we'll all feel the castle very quiet." Rina expresses.

"What is it about that omega that everyone loves? At least you guys, because his family doesn't." He shows Rina a document.

It's a report on Beryl's life. The spy reports that Beryl is the illegitimate son of Count Farreli. He was born from an affair with a maid, but when she died, Beryl was left in the care of the count. Obviously, his wife knew he was the count's son, so she treated him like a servant. The count didn't care; he didn't even say anything when the countess physically punished little Beryl, beating his back with a wooden stick. Sometimes they even saw the countess's brother trying to abuse Beryl, but he was saved by a maid who was the only one who treated him well. However, that woman passed away a month ago, and since the countess's daughter began an affair with the crown prince, they decided to hand over Beryl as a replacement. Rina looked sad when she finished reading the information.

"It makes sense that he doesn't want to be a servant. He's lived that way all his life and it doesn't bring back good memories." Rina mentions.

"Still, letting him stay without doing anything..."

"It doesn't bother me, Your Majesty. I chose to be a servant in this castle. My ancestors chose to leave. I don't think there's anything wrong with letting that young man stay." Rina replies.

"It doesn't seem fair to me, and I don't think he can work as my assistant. They didn't give him a chance to study."

"Your Majesty..." Rina sighs."You have the last word."

Rina withdraws to let Frederick work. Although she stayed to work as a maid, her life has actually been good. Besides, she did have a good childhood, because it wasn't her parents who gave her up as a sacrifice. She was chosen by the temple, and her parents were beaten almost to death when they didn't want to let them take her away. The dragon contacted them, and that's why Rina had the opportunity to leave, but she wanted to stay and work. Her parents were ill from what had happened, and she took care of them in a small cabin within the castle walls until they died of old age. However, with Beryl, everything is different. He was abused as a child. It makes sense that he doesn't want to continue living as a servant, because it brings back bad memories.

Beryl finally regained his freedom, although he will never forget what a bad host that dragon is, locking him up with that bunch of criminals, him, the most beautiful omega in the world. He won't forgive that. He has made up his mind, he will leave that castle, conquer kingdoms, and when he is powerful, he will return for revenge, yes, he will. But he will not reveal his plans. He knocks on the dragon's study door and upon receiving permission to enter, he does so. Frederick can tell the omega is upset; he assumes a night in the dungeon wasn't to his liking.

"I'm leaving, I've decided I want to travel the world, I'm not going to live as a servant and as a prisoner, lousy service, the oatmeal was stale." He purses his lips.

Frederick is surprised by the decision, he thought he would continue to insist on staying idle.

"Travel? That's much more dangerous for an omega. You have no escorts, you're an easy target." Frederick replies.

"I'll see how I manage, but living in a dungeon is not my thing, those prisoners are outrageous." he complains.

"I think it was the other way around. Anyway, if you decide to leave, I can give you an amount of gold, it's up to you how you use it, but it won't be easy for you." he adds again.

"Yes, I remember, being an omega I'm in danger, you say it so much..." he smiles mockingly."It's not like you actually like me and don't want me to leave. Hehehe..." he laughs.

Frederick just rolls his eyes at his comment.

"I'm just letting you know the reality of the world. But if that's your decision." He opens a drawer and takes out a small box which he leaves on the desk."There's enough gold in here to get you a small house and you could use it to start a business to help you survive."

"Good." He takes the box."Thank you, Mr. Dragon, now if you'll excuse me, I'll go pack."

He turns to leave the office. For Frederick everything had been strange, the omega was too quiet and the times he spoke to him, he was very talkative. It will be better to keep an eye on him, he's up to something and that's why he's so calm.

¤¤¤¤¤

The next day, I pack a small bag with the few changes of clothes Rina had given him and hides his box of gold among them. Rina still insists that he should think better of it, he can't go alone, it's dangerous, the forest is vast and he can't sleep there, demons could attack him, but Beryl won't change his mind, so he gets into the carriage that was prepared to take him to town with some escorts, and although the knights of the castle are well prepared, Rina is still worried, the demons come out at nightfall and are dangerous.

"Rina, thank you for helping me, and you too, Angela, you have treated me very well these days." He bows.

Angela was sad, she had gotten used to the omega's presence, it was fun to talk to him, too bad he decided to leave.

"Young Beryl, if you feel the town is dangerous, please come back." Angela pleads.

"Young Beryl." She hands him a note and an envelope."Go to this address and deliver this letter, that person will help you." Rina wanted the omega to be safe.

"All right, thank you both. I hope to see you soon." He looks behind the girls."Not you." he points to Frederick.

Frederick just rolls his eyes, that omega is too dramatic.

"At least be grateful that I saved your life and you are no longer in the hands of that family." he replies.

"In fact, I already had plans to escape, but that idiot of my half-sister ruined everything." You can't imagine how much he wants revenge.

When he's rich, he'll send a sexy woman to seduce the prince so his marriage will be ruined, yes, he will. He got into the carriage and set off, Rina and Angela returning to their duties, although they will miss the omega. Frederick, on the other hand, just watches the carriage drive away.
