Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION

*ABO Universe*

In a world in which there is a second gender where females and males are divided into three categories as alpha, beta and omega. The rankings also speak of superiority, power and dominance. Alphas are the highest in the hierarchy, then betas and at last, omegas. In some cases, omegas are considered weak and incapable of holding power.

So things become tense in Kingdom Euthoria when the firstborn to the King and Queen turns out to be a female omega. It becomes a threat to the throne as the Queen doesn't conceive a second child. In history, no omega has succeeded the throne.

It isn't the King, Queen or the citizens that find his birth as a negative effect on the kingdom, but it is the royal elders who live with their traditions. So as the Princess turns eighteen years old, the elders suggest the Princess should marry another kingdom's alpha Prince and merge Kingdom Euthoria with the other.

That is why the King and Queen decide to merge Kingdom Euthoria with the neighbouring kingdom, Kingdom Neopatras, by arranging a marriage between the two kingdoms. Their idea is to let Prince Patrick, the Crowned Prince of Kingdom Neopatras, become the king of Kingdom Euthoria too. And it is quite common for royalty to arrange marriages to gain power, control power and protect the throne. Likewise, arranged marriage was decided.
