I walk toward the dining room the next day. To my surprise, I find Joss waiting for me outside the door."Yo. What are you doing here?" I ask.
"Just wanted to wish you luck before you go in. Also~~~ I heard you kissed your commoner last night," he teasingly smiles.
"Shh... Don't say it aloud!" I hush him down and, "He kissed me! Not me. This Metawin doesn't give in to alphas that easily." I whisper in a proud voice.
"Oho~ I see. Now go inside before they finish having breakfast. Show them all your charms!"
I nod and walk inside after taking a deep breath. As I walk in, I find my parents engaged in a pretty serious conversation, talking in hushed voices. And they stop talking as soon as they see me.
"What are you guys talking about?" I nervously ask.
"Just random things, hun. Why don't you take a seat?" my mother asks, motioning at my usual seat. Father is silent as always. So I sit, and a maid serves me food. While she's at it, I plan everything in my head, from where to start and how to use my tactics to make them agree with me.
Once the maid steps back, I take my fork and jab at the potatoes.
"I have to.. ask something from you," I say without raising my head.
"Yes, honey?" my mother asks.
"Umm... by any chance. Did you make any plans for what would happen after father retires from the throne?" I ask.
Mother looks at father, who doesn't look in my direction. Then she shakes her head.
"Not yet. We still have time, so we didn't rush into it," she says.
"But weren't you in a really big hurry to wed me off to Plowden?" I impatiently ask.
"That was before, wasn't it?" father interrupts. "Now, what's your point asking about this? I thought I asked you to have a break. You don't have to worry about any of these." he says.
"But... I- I am worried about it, and- I have a little request." I say.
"Which is?" he asks.
"I am an omega. I know that. But... can't I bear the throne after you-"
"No." he straightaway says.
"But w-why? Is it because of my second gender? That's so unfair!" I exclaim.
"You are to talk about what's unfair? Win. I should be the one-" he looks around and notices the maids around. "You all, get out of this room, this instant!" he orders the maids, who immediately scatter out of the room, leaving us three alone.
I look around in confusion and look at my father, who looks a bit mad.
"How can I even think in my dreams to let you have the throne when you! You, out of all, are acting irresponsible like this?! I thought we raised you better! And not to tangle yourself with a poor rat!" he yells.
