48. Beginning of the End

'Our Fates Entwine
As Someone Grows Distant'

At Hanyang Palace:

"What I am telling is absolutely truth my lord."

The Hanyang court hall was lit up with the high lamps all over the pillars. No one but just the King and his most trusted servant sat in front of an old man who wasn't here for any good intention clearly. His nostrils were flaring up in intervals with evident anger.

The King's eyes lit up with a hint of amusement. He was beyond happy to get an information so precious for Busan's fate.

Hanyang was in line to become most glorious kingdom. But Busan being there, that wasn't possible. There were many Kingdoms in line and Hyun, the King of Hanyang, was preparing to take over the world. And for that he needed to take every other Kingdom down one by one by playing dirty.

And Chinmae, the old man sitting on front of him knew this. Hyun knew that he shouldn't trust anyone easily because the information Chinmae was giving him could be a fake one. But then again Chinmae didn't have a reason to lie to him and besides that he had many reasons to go against Busan.

The biggest one of them being Lisa had fired him along with all other Courtiers who had been serving Busan for many decades now. This was the big enough reason for him to betray Lisa.

"And why do you think I will believe you?"

"Because you want to take over the world. Busan is one of the biggest targets for you to achieve that.", Chinmae said without missing a bit.

"That's true. We don't have any reason to doubt you. But what does that information will do us? Is there even any profit with it? Even if we know that he is hiding his scent, what can we do with that information?"

"That my lord... Is a pure breed Omega."

The King's eyes lit up with a glint. His age lines straining over his forehead and making his evil grin even more prominent.

"You know my lord, for a century and half, there hasn't been one pure breed Omega has born. Now that he has, do you think he'll be that easy to get hold onto?", Chinmae had set his face in straight line so it was known he was serious. Hyun however still had some doubts.

"But didn't you say that Lisa has blamed him of infidelity. So it is possible that she can leave him too. Definitely she doesn't have less Omegas lying at her feet.", Hyun said as a matter of fact-ly.

"But... She doesn't know about him yet.", Chinmae said gaining all the interest of the Alpha King suddenly. "She doesn't know yet that he is a pure breed Omega. And when she knows, do you think she will let go of him?"

That was a true fact. A pure breed Omega was the real deal. If any more people know about him, they will jump at opportunity to snatch him away. Especially when they knew that Lisa hadn't mate him yet misunderstanding that Omega doesn't have any scent gland.

"Did you confirm the fact him being a pure breed Omega?", Hyun asked without showing the excitement on his face which was given away from his scent of cloves.

"My son works at the palace my lord. And he has been assigned at the guarding duty of Busan Luna. He told me that he has heard him doing the inappropriate behind the doors many times. He even has smelt two potent Omegan scents in his bedchamber along with an alpha scent.", Chinmae provided with confidence and in no time the King's eyes glinted with greed listening to this.

"However he never saw the Alpha. Whoever that Alpha is, he or she always manages to escape. But they leave the scent of forest dew behind.", Chinmae finished.
