Chapter 1

Kim Taehyung is just an omega, son of one of the many maids of the castle of the Park kings, the golden kingdom, as everyone knows it.

He lived until he was thirteen along with all the other employees of the place, helping with the chores from a very early age because his mother was already a bit old to take care of certain tasks. At least he helped her with those tasks until he introduced himself as an omega and they no longer allowed him to do tasks that for them were considered "heavy".From the moment he introduced himself as an omega, he began to feel a deep admiration and gratitude towards the eldest son of the Park kings Heejin, the alpha king, and the queen Park Yonhyeon; Park Jimin, the omega prince two years older than him.Don't get the wrong idea, he didn't admire him in a way to fall in love or have a crush on him. You see, after introducing himself as omega, Taehyung became very ill. Being children of servants, they could not afford a good doctor or medicine, so their mother and other close people only waited for a miracle or the death of the young omega. But the miracle came in the form of an omega prince.

Park Jimin, upon learning of the little boy's condition, immediately and against his father's opinion, sent his best doctor and paid for all the expenses to save his life. And he succeeded, Taehyung managed to fully recover after a couple of months.

When his mother told him about the generous action on the part of the prince, the young omega was quick to find the prince to thank him wholeheartedly for saving his life when he didn't have to, when he was just the omega son of one of his maids.

He knelt in front of the omega prince who was sitting in the garden studying on a blanket on the grass, and with all the sincerity in the world he promised him one thing.

—Prince Park, I will never forget what you did for me —the little thirteen-year-old Taehyung put a hand to his chest and looked up at him—. From now on, I swear to you completely loyalty and I promise to give my life if necessary for your well-being. Please, from this day on, trust me and I will be even more of a servant than your most loyal companions.

The pink-haired omega prince smiled at him and closed his book to put it aside and approach the younger omega. He brought a hand to the gray hair of the other and caressed his strands with a love that

surprised the servant.

—You are adorable, Taehyung —he flattered with charisma that was typical of him—. Then, take care of me, please.The eyes just as gray as the younger omega's hair sparkled upon hearing him, and he nodded several times with his head giving him the best of his smiles.

—Of course, your highness!

...Six years later. Present day....

...Golden Kingdom, one week before Park Jimin's arranged wedding with the heir to the throne of the Sapphire Kingdom, Jeon Jungkook....

When Prince Jimin entered his room along with his most beloved and loyal friend.he completely erased the smile he had maintained throughout lunch with his parents, and his immaculate posture crumbled as quickly as raindrops fell to the ground in a storm.

He lay down on his large bed of golden silk sheets, and let his sobs be heard throughout the room.

“Your Highness…”

Taehyung approached him with a handkerchief to wipe away his tears.“This is terrible news, I’m sorry.”

Jimin kindly accepted the handkerchief, but only

squeezed it tightly in his hands without stopping his

crying.

“I don’t want… I don’t want to marry someone other than Yoon,” he said through tears that didn’t stop falling, with pain in each of his words. I don't know that alpha, I don't want to meet him...

—I heard he's a delta...

—he commented in an attempt to paint things better in the prince's eyes, although she knew it was impossible.—I don't care what it is... I love a beta, you know I've always loved Yoon —he said seeking the warmth of the other's arms, wanting to calm himself with the sweet blueberry scent so unique to the grey-haired omega, which managed to make him feel good

every time he felt sad—. Yoon loves me too, and I promised him to find a way to be together... But I won't be able to keep my word. Taehyung felt helpless not being able to help him in any way. It seemed so cruel to him that the kings had planned an arranged marriage without consulting the prince at all, they just sat down to lunch today and informed him that they had been organizing this for months. “In a week you will marry the heir of the Sapphire Kingdom, so prepare yourself to be an Omega worthy of a prince like him.”

They did not even ask to hear the prince's opinion, they just informed him, knowing that he could not refuse or object to anything at all. And what broke her heart the most was seeing the prince's gaze darken when he heard the news, but his face only showed a smile as he pretended to agree with it, because he knew that there was no point in refusing in front of his parents.

Jimin was such a strong person.

—If only I could do something to help you, your highness…

—he said with pure helplessness in his voice as he caressed the other's back—. I would do anything to help him and make him happy, you know that.

—I know, Tae… I know —he answered totally grateful to the omega who became one of the most important people to him.Several minutes passed in which the prince let out his feelings and Taehyung tried to make him feel better with pure moral support, which was the only thing he could offer him. At one point Jimin

stopped crying and pulled away wiping away his tears.When their eyes connected, Taehyung knew

that the decision in the prince's gaze meant only one thing.—Taehyung…—he took his hands and looked at him with total sincerity—. I have a plan. But it's too risky and I can't promise that if you help me you'll come out unharmed or without punishment, but—

—I accept —he answered totally determined, with

so much confidence in his eyes that Jimin didn't doubt for amoment his sincerity—.Just tell me what to do.and I will do it without hesitation, because I owe him my life and my greatest wish is his happiness.

Jimin smiled at him totally grateful and hugged him

tightly, sobbing again.

—Don't worry. I won't let you die, I'll take you with me one way or another.

—Take me with you? —he asked without

understanding what he meant—. Do you plan to... run away with Min?

Taehyung pulled him away to stare at him,

with concern in his eyes."Your Highness, if you don't manage to leave and they catch you,you will be killed," he said with fear beginning to settle in him as he imagined different scenarios in which nothing went right.Not only that, but the Sapphire Kingdom could take his actions as treason and invade the kingdom. This alliance is so that the kingdom has better defenses, that kingdom has a huge number of soldiers willing to invade any other kingdom,and this one doesn't have enough to defend itself even a little.

Prince Jimin shook his head and smiled calmly.“I will talk to Yoon to form a plan that is foolproof. And for the rest, don't worry, that kingdom is famous for believing itself better than others and I am almost sure that they will see us as idiots for refusing to unite with them, they will force us to pay them either with gold or with all the soldiers we have,but they would not ruin this kingdom because it would leave them as needy people from an “inferior kingdom”

—he said making quotation marks with his fingers—. I do not know the prince, but I am sure that unless he really wants to marry me, I do not think he will use violence.”

“Are you completely sure about that?”

he asked a little worried that things would not turn out that way—. What if something goes wrong? Whatwill happen if they get angry and send someone to invade the kingdom? —My father will find a solution—he joined his hands together, interlacing them with the opposite ones, and smiled at him trying to reassure him—.I promise that everything will be fine, and we will come back for you.Taehyung shook his head and smiled at him in the same way. —If they manage to escape together, then my task would be complete.Loyalty was Taehyung's greatest virtue, and he swore on his life that he would be loyal to his prince,so he would do everything possible to make his wishesfulfilled. Even if his life was in danger, because heowed it to him and wanted to spend it in the most sincere waypossible.

...Present,Kingdom of gold, wedding day....

Since the arrangement was that Prince Jimin was going to move to the Sapphire Kingdom, they decided to celebrate the wedding in the Golden Kingdom as a kind of farewell at the request of the omega.The reality behind that request was that Min Yoongi, the prince's beta lover and with whom he was going to flee the kingdom, had people in place who were going to

help them get out of the kingdom without anyone being able to follow them. The plan was coldly calculated, and although the prince did not want to abandon his maid of honor, he himself agreed to carry out the beta's idea:Pretend to be Jimin during the ceremony,taking advantage of the fact that the suit she was going to wear consisted of a tulle that prevented her face from being identified until the moment inwhich she must answer if she accepts the alpha as her husband.The preparation time, added to that of the

ceremony, was going to be enough for them to

manage to escape through a forest near the castle that

was not going to be closely guarded. Most of the

soldiers would be mostly inside and outside the

castle, as well as in the garden and the back, since

the safety of both princes was a priority.Taehyung spent a week preparing the suitcases that would be hidden on a marked tree in the forest. Every night and when he had time, he brought changes of clothes, water in several rain boots, and food the night before so that they could have a trip without going hungry. Obviously he also left money and gold there that could be of help to them.With everything already prepared, it was only a matter of time before Yoongi gave them the signal and they began the plan that could not fail.

—Could you leave me alone for a moment? —

Jimin asked the maids and stylists who were taking care of making him pretty for the prince who would be his husband—. I need to mentally prepare myself for something so important.The betas and omegas nodded, understanding the way the prince would be feeling when he was about to get married. When they

left the room, Taehyung came out of the closet where he had hidden, and Jimin hurried to take off the dress he would wear.

—Are you sure you want to do this, Tae? —the prince asked worriedly, watching as the omega tried to put on the dress correctly—.You still have time to come with us.—The plan won't work if I don't do it —he replied clicking his tongue when an arm got caught in a sleeve—. As soon as you get out of here, wait for the door to be knocked five times in a row, that will be Yoongi and you will be guided by the guard Kihyun to a hidden path that leads to the forest.

—Tae, I…

—he approached to take his hands and look at him with wet eyes—. I have no words to show how grateful I am that you helped me with this… even risking your life…

—I'm just paying my debt —he replied,

playing it down—I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for you and your heart of gold —heapproached to hug him, trying not to break into tears—. Please be very happy. That way, I will be too.

—Please don't die —he asked in the same way.

The sound of the door being knocked on alarmed them both, and Jimin hurried to place the black tulle that

wouldn't let his face be identified, then he hid in the same place as Taehyung before.

—Your Highness, are you ready? —one of the stylists asked, and the gray-haired man nodded without answering so that they wouldn't realize that it wasn't the prince—. It's time, let's go.

Taehyung sighed, feeling his whole body tremble at what he would do. He was afraid, because hewas clear that when the tulle was lifted, his death sentence would be activated.But he was not going to back down.Even if they wanted to cut off his head right there, he was not going to bow his head to anyone, and he would keep a proud smile for her prince, because he would be very happy next to the person he loves.With each step he took, accompanied by “his bridesmaids”,he felt the blood freeze in his veins in fear of what would happen. What terrified him most, even more than death itself, was that his prince would not be able to escape and would be found and punished.Luckily, he had to wait about ten minutes for

the queen to reach his side to take her arm. He was going to walk with her to the altar, where the alpha —or delta according to rumors— was waiting for him to become her husband. Although that would not come to happen.

“This is for the good of the kingdom, is that clear to you?”

—the queen asked “her son”.

Taehyung only nodded in response, and luckily

the woman did not notice anything suspicious in his lack of verbal response. Trumpets sounded along with violins, and the omega-peligris tensed completely. He feared thatwith his nerves and fear, the medicine that was in charge of hiding his scent would no longer take effect and would show that he is not who he is supposed to be.

Just a little more. To calm down.

When the large doors opened in front of them, a long red carpet welcomed them, inviting them to advance. At the end of it was the prince of the sapphire kingdom, he knew it, but he could not see him clearly due to the tulle and the distance between them.

He advanced with the queen, listening to the applause of all the guests on each side. His pulse was racing and he was sure he had started to sweat, each step felt so heavy that he almost felt like fainting.

The path became terribly long until the queen released his arm and guided his left hand to take the alpha's hand who was now in front of him.

He could not see him well because of the tulle, and because his gaze was lowered just at the height of the opponent's chest.

When he felt the opponent's hand, he felt his entire body shudder and said hand tingled.

He swallowed hard at the way that simple touch

made him feel, and nerves took over his body when the voice of the priest beside him began the ceremony as the applause stopped.

—Today is a memorable day for the Golden Kingdom

—the man spoke, shouting so that everyone could

hear him—. Today, our Prince Park Jimin and the heir of the Sapphire Kingdom,Jeon Jungkook, will be married…

Taehyung almost jumped at the surprise he felt when the opposing hands held both of his, and pressed lightly. The omega closed his eyes tightly, cursing under his breath when he could faintly smell his scent thanks to the tulle.He was sure that the alpha in front of him could feel him, he knew it when the other's big, strong hands squeezed his much more noticeably.

The priest continued talking but Taehyung was no longer listening to him, he was so nervous and scared that his body began to tremble slightly.

—Please, the rings, the gray-haired man asked.

He heard footsteps approaching, and beneath the tulle she could perfectly see the moment when the alpha placed that beautiful ring on his ring finger.

—I, Jeon Jungkook, agree to take Park Jimin

as my husband —he heard the alpha say to him, and his voice made his wolf react by raising his ears and tail,anxious.Ah, this was too much for Taehyung, was

this supposed to feel like this?

The applause brought him back to his senses, and when the priest asked him the long-awaited question, someone stopped beside him handing him a small box

where the ring was that he was to put on the alpha.

But he didn't take it. "Park Jimin, do you accept this marriage and to be the omega and husband of Jeon Jungkook?" asked the gray-haired man.Taehyung sighed deeply, really deeply, and let out the air forcefully causing the thin fabric of his tulle to move accordingly. He looked up, and released his hands from the grip of the alpha. —I'm afraid I must decline the proposal —he said, surprised at himself when his voice came out firm, even almost mocking.The gasp of surprise from everyone was heard throughout the place, and that alone made it clear to him that it was time. He could not drag things out any longer. He took a from his hands to the one who had the newly put ring on,

and he took it off and then threw it to the ground as if it were a worthless stone.

—What do you think you're doing, Park Jimin!? —the king's voice was heard.

—The thing is...

—he brought both hands to the headband that held the tulle, and taking it off to leave his face uncovered, and raised his gaze to join with the alpha's—. I'm not Park Jimin. Amid the screams of fright, surprise and the sound of glasses falling to the ground, Taehyung

allowed himself to analyze the alpha that his prince was going to marry.The only conclusion he came to was: what a man, holy moon.

His clothing was beautiful and impeccable, you could

see how expensive it was in every detail of the fabrics. His high black boots up to below the knees looked

perfect with those white pants; Hishair was as

black as jet, his eyes black and intimidating, beautiful and dangerous, he analyzed him with a slight frown.

"What is this about, King Park?" Prince Jeon asked,

without taking his eyes off the omega in front of him, analyzing him in detail—. Isn't he your son?

—I'm sorry to disappoint you, your majesty —

Taehyung replied with a lazy smile, allowing himself to mock the alpha a little by assuming that it wouldn't take a minute to kill him right there—. But my prince is already very far away.

—Arrest that damn omega! —King Park ordered with pure anger in his voice.

When some guards approached with their swords with the intention of taking him and holding him,even if it was unnecessary since the gray-haired man was not going to resist.

—Stop! —Prince Jeon ordered raising an arm so that all the guards would stop.Taehyung kept his gaze on the alpha even thoughthe mere presence of the alpha made him feel extremely small and defenseless. The black-haired man lowered his arm and everyone waited expectantly for him to say something.

"Your name," he demanded.

"Does it matter? I am condemned to die," he replied defensively.

—I might not order you to be killed if you tell us where our son is —Queen Park spoke approaching Taehyung to hold him tightly by the arm, with pure fury in her eyes—. Speak,

Where is he?!The gray-haired boy let out a small gasp at the strength of the grip and the nails digging into his skin.

—𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐠𝐨 —Prince Jeon ordered using

his commanding voice.Both Taehyung and the queen and everyone present, except the betas —although they were also scared—lowered their heads submissively,unable to face him. Automatically the omega woman let him go and the gray-haired boy put a hand to the battered area.

—You'll have to kill me —Taehyung spoke looking directly at the queen—. I will not say a single word, no matter if they torture me, I will die before betraying the prince! —she shouted, making her decision clear. King Park's face was red with anger, and the queen was pale, unable to assimilate everything that was happening.

Prince Jeon's thunderous laughter caught the attention of everyone present. Taehyung turned to look at him, totally confused by his attitude, and trembled when the alpha set his amused gaze on him.

—Well, it doesn't matter —he said, bending down to

pick up the ring that the omega previously threw

on the ground as if it were nothing—. He's not Prince Park,but I'm going to marry him.

—What?

Taehyung thought he heard wrong, so he looked at him with a frown. Everyone in the place began to talk desperately at the madness they were hearing, and the kings approached him to begin to tell him to stop joking at such a serious moment.—You're an omega, you smell like blueberries and curiously it's my favorite fruit —he approached him and looked at him with a lazy smile—. I came to get married, and I'm going to marry even if it's the omega who tried to make fun of me.

—What kind of prince starts joking in

this kind of situation? Are you stupid? —

Taehyung asked, feeling offended, because he was sure that the guy was making fun of him.“More respect when talking to Prince Jeon,damn fourth-rate omega!” the queen shouted,intentionally approaching him again.

𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞! Jeon shouted, already fed up with the woman's attitude.This omega will be my husband, so

watch your words from now on,” he threatened.

“What? You can't be serious,Prince Jeon,” King Park spoke quickly.

Jungkook just ignored him and approached the omega who was stunned and confused upon hearing the alpha's words. Taehyung raised his gaze to connect with the opposite one, and wanted to walk away but he was afraid that he would use his commanding voice or hit him. —Your name, or I will kill all the elderly guests who are present —he asked in a calm tone of voice that did not go with his threats.

—…You are not serious —he challenged without believing his words.—You have to know one thing about me, since we are going to get married —he spoke without any doubt about his own words—. I am heir to the most powerful kingdom in the world, and I am very capricious. If I want something, I get it. Because I have the power to do it.

—I-I'm not going to marry you, it's crazy —

he answered, feeling foolish for having stuttered.

But the alpha was invading his personal space and driving his wolf crazy.

—I don't like to repeat things, so answer

if you don't want to see blood —he asked in the same way as before.Taehyung didn't know him at all, but something told him that he was serious. He looked around and noticed that there were at least a dozen people of legal age, with fear on their faces when they heard his threat. If the guy was serious, he didn't want to be responsible for the death of innocent people.He sighed and looked at the prince again.

—K-Kim Taehyung… with suspicion.

—he replied looking at him

—Very well —the alpha replied smiling, and

he brought a hand to the opposite chin to caress it with his thumb—. Taehyung, we are going to get married,Because I want it to be that way, do you understand? No one would oppose anything I want, because I have the world in my hands.

—What if I refuse? —he asked sounding firm, but his whole body was shaking.

—I will take Park Jimin's rejection as a threat and invade this kingdom, I will kill everyone — he threatened as if it were no big deal—. I will not leave even the animals alive, how about that? Taehyung swallowed hard and shook his head looking away.—Lunatic... This was not part of the plan!

—Well, I think it will be easier if I use another

method —he took his right hand by force, and brought the ring closer until he was about to place it on his finger—. You will take Prince Park's place, and I will not send people to hunt him down even under the rocks to assassinate him, don't you think that is fair?

Well, now the proposition sounded tempting to the

omega.He looked down at the ring, then back at the

alpha.—They won't look for him. No one, not even his parents—he said, giving the kings a quick glance—. They willforget about him, and if they ever find him, they will leave him alone.Jungkook smiled pleased when he knew he alreadyhad it in his hands, and nodded.—Okay.

Taehyung took the ring from his hand and reluctantly put it on himself, then remained with his gaze downcast, feeling shame invade him when he realized that he was now going to bethe husband and omega of Prince Jeon of the Sapphire Kingdom.He jumped slightly when the alpha took hishand and brought him closer to where the priest had been completely shocked by what was happening.—Well, let's continue, please —Jeon said as if it were nothing, with a smile of total and pure satisfaction—.I'm glad that all of this ended up being more fun than I thought.

—…You are completely crazy—he said, looking at him with a frown, despite feeling her cheeks burning.

Jeon laughed and shook his head.

“No, honey. You don’t want to see me crazy.”
