Prompt:

The Twin Emperors, Lan Huan and Lan Zhan, are finally going on their Hunt at the almost the age of 21. It is considered a bad omen to go so long without a mate, however it is not because they did not want one. The Council have been trying to delay them in hopes they would settle for a Political Marriage instead, especially since the later Emperor and his low born Empress decreed that whoever should mate their sons would be granted  Royal standing and titles, to rule at the side of the young Emperors without anyone questioning them. But it does not work in their favor and the Twins are about to set off.

Planning to travel their kingdom and the other kingdoms around them in hopes of finding a worthy bride to share because the Twins have always shared everything and know they will only share one Bride. Who will the lucky Omega be and will they be worthy of not only the Twin Jades' fierce love, but their Royal title as well?

Snippet:

Empress Liang Minghua had labored for nearly 2 days before she gave birth to twin sons. The moment she held them in her arms, she loved them with her whole heart and knew they would be destined for greatness. Before she was shipped off to her private palace which would then become her prison, she decreed that her sons may marry for love and only the one they love can be given a royal title. She did not want her sons or their future mates to go through what she has to. She decreed that never again shall the Council of Elders hold power over the royal family. The Scribe wrote down her decrees and passed them onto the Emperor who signed and stamped them with his blood and Royal seal before he went into the room to see his sons.

"My Lord, your sons Lan Huan and Lan Zhan." She nods to each twin in turn and he carefully takes them to hold. "They will be great...."

~Skip 20 years~

Lan Huan and Lan Zhan stood before the council of Elders, whom had steadily lost power and sway over the years leading up to the deaths of the Empress and then the Emperor. After the twins were put on the throne, though Lan Huan seemed to be the one ruling and his brother only acted as a mute guard. Their Uncle raised them as vest he could, trying to honor his brother's final request, but he was a traditionalist and felt only a bride of royal blood and a harem of desirable Omegas would do. However it was decreed and sealed by the Empress and Emperor that the Princes may only marry for love and only their mates were allowed royal titles.

So here the twins stood, having just placed the Kingdom in the trusted hands of Menu Yao, a good, but crafty friend of theirs with General Nie as his guard and council. Meng Yao's council held his brother in arms, Nie Mingjue, his half brother, Mo Xuanyu and his spymaster/personal assassin, Xue Yang. They would keep things running smoothly in the twins absence. Being nearly 21 and just now going on their Hunt was unheard of and was seen as an ill omen. However, it was not their fault. No, that fell to the Council trying to curry favor and when that failed they attempted to manipulate and coerce the young princes turned Emperors.

So they left with only one guard, Song Lan, to finally go on their Hunt. Dressed in their clan colors but in a lesser quality to avoid people realizing who they were, to find potential mates. However the twins were always of one mind and knew that there would not be two mates but rather one. They would share even this aspect of their lives as they have all others. They just had to agree on such a mate...
