Chapter 1: The Cursed Family
At dusk, a piece of news being frantically reported by every public channel in the Empire set the entire capital ablaze.
“I’m not seeing things, right? There’s actually a family that dares to form a marriage alliance with the Carlos family?”
“The cradle of killing machines… That bloodline cursed by the goddess is actually going to continue being passed down?”
“I really don’t know what His Majesty is thinking. The Shi family are all scholars. Isn’t this sending the Shi family’s child to his death?”
“It’s all the royal family’s decision. Don’t talk nonsense!”
“Alas, poor Young Master Shi Yi. That Alpha from the Carlos family is a death-god-like figure…”
“But that one is finally getting married. Now the other noble Omegas can breathe a sigh of relief.”
“There isn’t only one unmarried madman in the Carlos family.”
“But the Galactic Legion is still fighting at the front line. How can the wedding be held today?”
“The groom isn’t even showing up. How arrogant.”
In a tavern along the street, a young man listened to the discussions around him and slowly revealed a satisfied smile.
What these people did not know was that the Alpha groom was not the only one absent from today’s wedding.
Half a day ago, the Shi family had discovered that Shi Yi had run away from the marriage.
And at this very moment, the one being sent to the Carlos family to hold the wedding was Shi Yi’s twin younger brother—Shi Sheng.
The Shi family had been unwilling to accept this marriage alliance from the start.
It was true that Carlos was the number one family in the Empire. They held military power and were feared even by the imperial family, but even so, no Omega in the capital was willing to marry into their family.
Especially not to the current head of the Carlos family, the supreme commander of the Empire’s Galactic Legion—Elaine Carlos.
The people called him “Thanatos of the Empire.”
He was the war god who allowed the Empire to remain undefeated in battle, yet the title he received was the name of the death god from ancient mythology.
It was all because he was cold-blooded, brutal, arrogant, and overbearing.
In the past, when the cabinet opposed His Majesty’s reforms, Elaine actually drew his sword during the meeting and chopped off the leading senator’s head on the spot.
The photo of his cheek stained with blood was published in the newspapers, and to this day, it could still stop young children from crying at night.
“If you keep crying, Thanatos will come and take you away!”
If an Omega married someone like that, what good ending could they possibly have?
Moreover, for decades, rumors had spread throughout the Empire that the Carlos family had once been cursed by the goddess. Their mysterious bloodline granted them extremely high pheromone levels, but accompanying that were terribly strange personalities and a desire for slaughter flowing through their blood.
Every few years, scandals about the Carlos family would occasionally spread through the capital, and almost every one of them involved human lives.
Regardless of whether those scandals were true or false, at the very least, the spouses of the family heads from the last three generations had all died young. Not one had lived past thirty.
Getting involved with this family was no good thing.
But the Shi family did not dare resist His Majesty’s bestowed marriage, nor did they dare let outsiders know that Shi Yi had run away. They could only brace themselves and have Shi Sheng take his place.
Now, Shi Yi’s whereabouts were unknown, and whether Shi Sheng could survive in the Carlos family was also uncertain.
The Shi family had no other children. Everything in the future could only be inherited by him, this nephew.
The young man smiled happily.
The Shi family, and the Alpha that Father Shi had originally been considering for Shi Sheng, would all be his.
“Shi Sheng, oh Shi Sheng. This time, I still won.”
At the same time, the wedding was being held in the sacred temple.
Almost everyone present was among the most noble people in the capital. At this moment, they were divided into two groups.
Most of them were nobles who had no choice but to attend the ceremony because of His Majesty’s bestowed marriage and the pressure of the Carlos family.
The smaller group was naturally the Shi family, whose hearts had risen to their throats. After Shi Yi ran away from the marriage, they had had no other choice. They could only pray that the Carlos family would discover a little later that the Omega had been switched.
“Look at their stupid faces. It really makes me angry.”
Yu Mian Carlos had a cold smile on his lips. “They even dared to swap out the Omega marrying my eldest brother. Who gave them the courage?”
These idiots actually thought they did not know!
“All right, don’t be angry.”
Beside Yu Mian, a gentle-looking young man patted his shoulder.
“Didn’t you already think of a way to embarrass him?”
Yu Mian narrowed his eyes and looked toward the slowly opening doors of the sacred temple. On his elf-like face was a delighted yet malicious smile. “Yes. He’ll soon understand that mortals are not worthy of fooling the Carlos family.”
As the doors of the sacred temple opened, sunlight instantly poured in.
The choir’s singing was ethereal and holy, leading the “protagonist” of this wedding into everyone’s sight.
It was a very young Omega. Even dressed in a pure white, elaborately crafted wedding gown, he still looked like a tender youth who had only recently come of age.
He had the Shi family’s signature dark red hair. It should have been a passionate, flamboyant color. Paired with his porcelain-white skin and amber eyes, he should have looked as beautiful and dazzling as the grand finale doll at an exhibition.
But there was not the slightest expression on this Omega’s snow-white face. Together with his slightly drooping eyelids and downward-slanting eyes, it forcibly gave him a somewhat gloomy appearance.
“Why is he wearing such a long face?” Yu Mian said unhappily.
Under the gaze of the entire sacred temple, the Omega slowly walked toward the wedding platform. There was no one beside him.
The Alpha groom of this wedding was still fighting on the front line at this very moment, so the Omega could only complete the ceremony alone. No one present dared to raise any objection.
They did not even dare feel sorry for the Omega.
“Now, please have the groom step forward.”
Everyone watched as the Omega walked up the steps by himself, one step at a time.
He did not even have a proper bouquet in his hands, only a bundle of lilies that had been hastily picked that morning.
“Child of the great Goddess of Order, Shi Yi, are you willing to form a bond with your Alpha, regardless of age, sickness, or death…”
The priest recited the vows. According to the process, since the groom was absent, a holographic image of the Alpha should now be projected beside the Omega.
The staff in the control room pressed the button.
The sacred temple fell into an uproar. Some people even screamed in fright.
The corners of Yu Mian’s lips lifted into a successful smile.
On the high platform, a tall figure was projected beside the Omega.
But unlike the originally prepared holographic image, it was only a still image. The Alpha held a long sword in his hand, half of his body stained with blood, and in his hand he was carrying a head with eyes wide open in fury.
There was not the slightest emotion in his golden eyes.
The cabinet meeting incident that had shaken the entire country years ago rarely had images leaked in official reports. Most of the videos circulating among the public were also cut versions, showing only the Alpha’s handsome, expressionless face stained with blood. Even so, it was enough to scare disobedient children.
But now, at his own wedding, the complete, bloody image appeared.
Someone fainted from fear. Children burst into loud crying.
In the middle of this chaos, Yu Mian clapped and laughed loudly. “Brother, hurry and look at that idiot. Hasn’t he been scared stupid?”
The young man beside him looked toward the Omega with him. In the noisy sacred temple, the youth stood frozen in place, staring up at the Alpha’s face in the image.
He seemed to have truly been scared silly. The lilies had fallen to the floor, and with their excellent eyesight, both of them could see his body trembling slightly.
Yu Mian snorted coldly. “He’s scared like this just from one photo. What right does he have to be my eldest brother’s Omega?”
The young man beside him also sighed softly.
At that moment, however, a voice entered their ears.
[So handsome…]
Yu Mian: ?
[Although I’ve seen this photo many times before, none of the previous ones were this clear.]
[As expected of Elaine. What a perfect face, as if kissed by a heavenly god…]
[Such a handsome man will be my Alpha in the future. Hehe.]
[His figure is also so good. I wonder if I’ll have a chance to touch it.]
Yu Mian looked at the person beside him in shock and found that the other party also looked puzzled.
“What nonsense is he saying?”
The young man hesitated. “Was it him speaking? But… his lips don’t seem to have moved.”
[Sigh, so noisy.]
[The priest seems to have fainted from fright. What about my wedding?]
[Can Elaine’s family come and preside over it? Ah, where are they again…]
The Omega on the stage suddenly turned his head over with no expression.
Yu Mian did not even notice that, in that instant, he had straightened his back.
He was certain now. It really was this fake speaking!
They were sitting in the first row, so it was very easy for them to meet the Omega’s gaze.
They saw him look at Yu Mian for a while, then at the young man beside Yu Mian for a while.
Although his gaze moved extremely slowly, they were certain this fake was sizing them up.
Yu Mian glared back unhappily and warily.
The Omega’s gaze was gloomy, and his expression was dull.
But the activity in his heart entered their ears word for word.
[Golden hair… The short one should be Elaine’s younger brother.]
[Wow, he’s as pretty as an elf.]
[I want to pinch his cheeks.]
Yu Mian slapped the chair hard. “What nonsense is he saying?!”
The young man helplessly held him down.
[Who is the other one? Elaine’s second brother is also blond, an Alpha, and he isn’t here today. Excluded.]
[Glasses, black hair, sitting together with Yu Mian… Ah, it must be Lindsay.]
[Although he’s only an adopted son, he’s just as outstanding as the brothers.]
Yu Mian turned his head to look at Lindsay. “Why are you blushing?!”
Lindsay coughed lightly. “You’re not much better yourself.”
“What damned strange technology did this fake use?” Yu Mian angrily rolled up his sleeves. “Sure enough, he came prepared!”
At that moment, with a snap, the staff had probably finally reacted, and Elaine’s image disappeared.
On the Omega’s calm and lifeless face, the first expression of the day finally appeared—the corners of his lips turned downward, revealing disappointment so subtle that one had to look very carefully to notice it.
He bent down to pick up the lilies on the ground, but the priest was still unconscious. For a moment, he looked a little lost.
Yu Mian was full of pent-up anger. He shouted loudly at the servants, “Why are you all standing there like idiots? Go wake the priest up! Are we still holding the ceremony or not?!”
Thus, everyone at the scene hurriedly rushed to help the priest.
[As expected, we still have to rely on Elaine’s family.]
Yu Mian and Lindsay heard the voice again.
Lindsay cautiously looked around, judging whether anyone else had heard the Omega speak.
[Yu Mian really is worthy of being a young master of the Carlos family. His aura is very strong.]
[But he looks like he has a bad temper.]
Yu Mian abruptly glared at the Omega, only to discover that he was not looking at him.
Instead, his gaze was empty, as if he were spacing out.
[With this kind of personality, it’s not hard to understand why he becomes a villain…]
Yu Mian froze. Villain? What was that?
He subconsciously tilted his head, wanting to keep listening, but the Omega’s voice disappeared.
