The Story
The Beginning
Chapter I
In the mythical realm of Astraloria, where whispers of magic danced through the air and the unseen hands of destiny sculpted fates, emerged Kim Mingyu—the alpha prince, forged in the crucible of a tempestuous childhood beneath the rule of King Seongjyo.
From his earliest breaths, Mingyu's destiny intertwined with the cold currents of Astraloria's court, where the shadows concealed untold stories and the weight of expectations bore down upon the youngest scion of the royal lineage. King Seongjyo, a ruler whose heart knew no paternal warmth, sculpted his son into a living weapon, a testament to the kingdom's unyielding might. Mingyu bore the scars of relentless beatings, the ruthless intended to purge empathy from his very soul. Yet, he emerged not as a mere victim but as a canvas painted with the indomitable spirit of a warrior.
In the halls where echoes of cruelty resonated, Mingyu's older brother became a tormentor, exploiting their physical resemblance to cast blame upon the innocent. Amidst the shadows, a flicker of solace emerged in the form of his mother, a figure of love shrouded in secrecy. In the dimness behind closed doors, she whispered words of comfort that the court never heard.

In the dimness behind closed doors, she whispered words of comfort that the court never heard.
A twist of fate unfurled a tragic chapter when Mingyu's brother, the tormentor, met his end on Astraloria's battlefield. The crown, once firmly perched on the elder's head, now hung precariously over the unprepared prince. King Seongjyo, an epitome of stoicism, betrayed no emotion, leaving Mingyu to grapple with the weight of an unexpected destiny.
Behind the mask of relentless training and unyielding might, Mingyu carried the scars of his past. The battlefield of his childhood had forged him into a skilled warrior, his longsword an extension of the pain and resilience etched into his soul. Now, as the reluctant crown prince of Astraloria, he navigates the treacherous waters of court intrigue, drawing strength from the echoes of his mother's love and the lessons carved into his very bones.
In the mythical kingdom of Astraloria, where magic intertwined with the threads of fate, Mingyu's story unfolded like a tapestry of defiance against a destiny marred by mistreatment. A prince forged in the crucible of cruelty, rising to redefine the legacy that once seemed destined to be written in pain and shadows.

Chapter II
✶ ⁞ The Current Events.
As the shadowy tendrils of courtly intrigue tightened their grip on Astraloria, Yeonho, the advisor to King Seongjyo, concocted a plan to assert the kingdom's dominance. The target: Theo, a grand general of the enemy kingdom, renowned for his strategic brilliance. Yeonho persuaded the king to approve a daring scheme – capture Theo and use him as leverage to showcase the newfound strength of Astraloria under its new crown prince, Mingyu.
However, when Theo was apprehended and brought before the court, a shocking revelation unfolded. The grand general, thought to be an alpha, was, in fact, an omega. This unexpected twist threw a wrench into the carefully laid plans. Adaptation became necessary, and the decision was made to force a marriage upon Theo. The advisor and the king saw it as a means to bind the enemy general to Astraloria and solidify their control over him.
Mingyu, however, found himself at odds with the nefarious machinations of his advisor and father. The plan deviated from his principles of strength and honor, and the prospect of forcing a marriage upon an unwilling omega troubled him deeply. When Theo was presented to him, the uncertainty in the air was palpable. The omega, who had expected hostility, met Mingyu's gaze with defiance, a man resigned to his fate yet harboring a burning desire for revenge.
As Mingyu grappled with the moral dilemma upon him, the court buzzed with whispered speculations and the clinking of political machinations. The unexpected union between Mingyu and Theo, born out of coercion rather than love, became a focal point of tension within the kingdom. Astraloria stood at a crossroads, its fate teetering on the precipice of power, morality, and the consequences of a plan gone awry.

"In the ruthless arena of politics, sentimentality is a weakness, boy, one that I will not tolerate in the heir to the throne. The capture of Theo was not an act of hesitancy but a calculated move to secure Astraloria's dominance. Your reservations are inconsequential; my decisions are driven by the ruthless pursuit of power, not your misguided ideals. Advisor Yeonho's counsel aligns with the unforgiving realities of the throne, and your objections will not alter the course set by the crown. The marriage is not born of compassion but a strategic necessity to bind Theo, our unwilling pawn, to Astraloria's control. Your emotions are irrelevant; what matters is the unwavering strength required to shape the destiny of this kingdom. Learn to discard sentimentality, for in the heart of power, only the ruthless endure."
The Vibes
MBTI (INFj)
INFJs are often characterized by their empathetic and compassionate nature. They are driven by a strong sense of values and principles, seeking harmony and understanding in their relationships. Mingyu's reluctance to embrace his father's ruthless methods aligns with the INFJ's aversion to conflict and desire for a more compassionate approach. The difficulty he faces in speaking up for himself could be attributed to the introverted nature of INFJs, who may prefer to avoid confrontation but are deeply committed to their ideals.
Moral Alignment
Lawful Good.
Lawful Good characters are characterized by a strong sense of morality, a commitment to justice, and a desire to do what is right. They adhere to a code of conduct and seek to promote the well-being of others. Mingyu's internal struggle with the morally questionable actions taken by his father suggests a commitment to a higher moral standard, even if it means going against the prevailing norms or authority.
