From the dawn of the time, the valiant knights of Amphitritea had been but the very image of strength and prowess. Having been blessed by the sea Goddess Amphitrite herself for rescuing a sea nymph from a neighbouring country, it was no wonder that the land had been flourishing with wealth and prosperity ever since.
Having done such work of nobility, the Oracle bestowed upon the proud clan of Amphitritea, the protector of the Sea and the Sea Dragon, The Min clan, the honour of producing only Alphas, selecting only one to birth the next head of the clan.
However, the Min clan were troubled. A clan full of Alphas maybe powerful, but a clan of Alphas alone cannot bear children amongst themselves.
Their trouble was soon resolved, when it was declared that the chosen Alpha would become a "Calypso" who would be able to bear and lay an egg, for the glory of the clan.
Guarding the vast land of the Eastern Empire of Amphitritea, were the ferocious Min clan. The most powerful clan of the Empire that consisted only of Alphas. The Alphas of the Min clan would occasionally join hands with other families in order to ensure a heir, and of course, for their power and prestige.
No one in the empire dared to question the longevity of their fortunes. This time, however...
"Have you all heard?! Sir Min Yoongi has yet again returned from the war triumphed!"
Words of Min Yoongi's victory spread across the entire Empire like flame winded by a fan. The entire nation, if not less, gathered at the frontlines, clamouring to get a mere glance of the knight in shining armour.
Min Yoongi entered the gates followed by the remaining soldiers he'd brought back, immediately getting greeted with loud cheers of triumph and flowers.
Even though this was a sight Yoongi hoped to see for a longer time, it was time he heads towards the royal palace, to the Emperor for the final talk.
That's right.
He needs to declare it today.
"Welcome, Yoongi." The emperor greeted Yoongi, who was hunched over on his knees to show his respect, with a warm smile. "You've shown quite the bravery during the recent battles. Good work."
Yoongi places his one hand on his chest in order to show his utmost respect and says,"I humbly greet the rising sun of the Empire."
"Lift your head, Yoongi. Let me take a look at your face." The Empire says with his weathered, husky voice. "For your unmatched bravery, I shall be rewarding you with anything that you desire. Now, go ahead and tell me what you want."
Yoongi raises his head slightly up, high enough to see the golden stairs above instead of the reflection on the floor.
Of course, he doesn't need to think twice about what he wants.
"In that case, your majesty..." Yoongi starts, and the entire of royal councilors hold their breaths in. "The days I've spent in this sudden battle had resulted in me neglecting some affairs I had to leave behind. Therefore..." Yoongi looks up this time, and makes sure to muster up the sharpest look in his eyes. "I ask your majesty to grant me leave."
A murmur of interest breaks down in the hall as the rising sun of the Empire barely manages to suppress his reluctance to the 'arrogant' request of Yoongi. The wrinkly man instead clenches his fists silently.
The Emperor lets out a deep chuckle then, breaking the sudden tension.
"Oh, dear. I guess I have exhausted you. Please go ahead and rest to your heart's content." The Emperor declares,"you shall receive your reward soon after."
Yoongi bows before the Emperor gracefully,"I'm most grateful, Your Majesty."
Yoongi turns back with that, leaving behind a bitter taste on the Emperor's mouth with his feisty attitude.
The Emperor clicked his tongue in disapproval. His agitation was not caused by the humble request of Yoongi's, no, in his opinion, an Alpha who had been bestowed upon the title of Calypso by their family, was not worthy of having such arrogance.
For he's merely an Alpha having the body of an Omega right now, a Calypso.
A Calypso. An Alpha who consumes a "Clyybar" fruit in order to conceive. Clyybar is a concoction made from the dangerous juice extracted from the forbidden Clyybar fruit. Once consumed, an Alpha would be able to conceive an Egg— most certainly the new heir of the Min clan.
All the stress— both from the battle and the unnecessary visit to the Emperial palace had Yoongi rush straight to the bath as soon as he reached his own mansion.
Yoongi slips down the black bathrobe he was wearing to prepare to get into the hot bath that had been prepared for him.
Underneath his heavy attire, there were various places in his pale, bare skin where remnants of the battles remained. The wounds have turned an angry shade of red, some have even turned purple.
As soon as he lets himself inside the bath and soaks half of his body inside, he looks down.
He tilts his head to the side.
Had he always had such a soft stomach...?
"Sir, Yoongi." Yoongi doesn't startle at that, since he knew there could be only one person who'd dare to impose on him during his bath time. Kim Taehyung. "I have locked the leader of the revolutionaries into the dungeon. Shall I proceed with the interrogation?"
Yoongi turns and shakes his head. "Get some rest for now, you and the other men must be exhausted."
"Yes?", Taehyung blinks. "Yes, sir."
Yoongi turns around and hums to himself.
That man. The leader of the revolutionaries.
He wasn't as easy to catch as he assumed.
Jeon Jungkook. The 4th prince of the fallen kingdom "Strifea." Once a cursed land, it is said that it had been chosen by the Dragon.
Yoongi clenches his fists as he watches the water roll down his palm.
No matter what kind of blessing they may have now, or if they have a better ruler right now— things like that do not matter.
They have insulted the Heart of the Sea. The companions of Goddess Amphitrite herself.
He will never forgive them for that.
"Taehyung."
"Yes, sir?"
"I'm done with my bath." Yoongi grabs robe and towel. "I shall return to my bedchambers. See to the preparations."
Taehyung's fingers twitches by his sides.
Yoongi furrows his brows. "General Kim?"
"Ah—", Taehyung makes, then bows before the Alpha. "My apologies. I shall see to the preparations right away, sir."
Yoongi nods, and turns on his heels with that.

The nights are long in this kingdom.
Well, for Jungkook it sure is.
He may have broken the iron shackles and escaped from underground dungeons, but what he could've never guessed was for the mansion to be even worse.
It's like a total maze in here. Sure, he can dodge the guards because he's quite fast but that's entirely fruitless if he can't figure a way out of here!
Shit shit shit shit shit shit!!!
And let's not even talk about the smell. It's making him dizzy.
"Fuck—", Jungkook quickly hides himself behind a wall before the guard could catch his eyes.
Jungkook sighs. Where the hell is he right now? Is this some kind of labyrinth in the name of a mansion? He can't even connect with the spirits because of the damned barrier, let alone summon them.
Jungkook facepalms himself in frustration.
He needs to get the hell out of here.
After what felt like an eternity, Jungkook finally admits that he's fucking lost.
He turns to escape a guard only to stumble upon another corner. What in the devil has that Min fucking Yoongi placed inside this godforsaken mansion?
What is he supposed to do? He can't let them find him. Not again. He must escape...
Unfortunately, it would be impossible for Jungkook to dwell on the thought any further, as a sudden wave of sweet aroma brims the area to the corner.
Jungkook immediately slaps his hand over his nose, face flushing and burning up, heart thumping against his ribcage.
Great. As if getting lost in his enemy's territory wasn't enough, now he's smelling an Omega in heat, in the mansion where they had no other breeds other than Alphas.
Jungkook gets up, only to be surprised to find that he got up to follow the scent, not to run away.
Fuck. What should he do? He needs to run away, but his body won't listen to him.
Turn. Turn away. TURN AWAY!
"Hah..." Jungkook clenches his jaw and breaths heavily. The pheromone is so strong, he doubts he can fight the urge.
He opens the door of a room god knows where it came from, what his instincts told him that— It's in here.
The sight that greeted him was something he'd only hoped to see in his wildest dreams.
"Welcome." A stark naked Min Yoongi blindfolded with a black lace greeted him, sitting on the bed, cross legged. Jungkook could hardly make out his surroundings, but he sure as hell noticed the leather choker tied to his neck.
Jungkook gulped a lump in his throat.
"There is no need to be nervous. Treat me as you would any Omega." Yoongi reassured, as if he'd been waiting for Jungkook's arrival. "For right now, I'm a Calypso. I'm sure you're well aware that the Oracle has chosen me to bear the next head of the clan."
Jungkook could hardly make out what he was being informed of by Min Yoongi, the enemy of the Revolutionary Army.
Yoongi seemed a bit taken aback by the lack of response in return, so he just simply adds; "Just... make sure not to bite my throat."
A Calypso? What is even that? Moreover, isn't he an Alpha? Why does he smell like that of an Omega?
No no. More importantly, what is he doing taking his hood off and inching towards him?
But... his skin... is so pale and supple. Is that really the body of the vicious knight of the blessed Empire of Amphitritea? An... Alpha.
Is a ferocious Alpha supposed to look so pretty?
Now can be his chance. He should bring out his dagger and stab him right across his stomach and be away with it. That's his worst enemy, Min Yoongi, sitting in front of him, completely defenseless!
But...
Yoongi leans backwards as he feels Jungkook inching towards him, placing one of his legs in between his bare thighs.
"I have already prepared myself, so all you need to do is put it inside me." Yoongi declared, spreading his legs wider for Jungkook to get a better view of his prepared hole.
Jungkook gulps, his heart rate rapidly growing faster with each movement the Alpha makes.
Yoongi smirks slightly. "Let us begin."
A creaking sound of the bed, and the snapping sound of Jungkook's last thread of rationality.
