'Omegas are very special things to the world, to bad they were treated as slaves. Many of the riches Alphas had Omegas, the lower class always had Betas, there were no in between. Rich Alphas that owned plantations or big businesses would use their Omegas as plain House-Slaves, making them do everyday tasks. They were also brought around for breeding, it was common for an Alpha to kill off the first child if it isn't an Alpha. If the Omega became pregnant again and the child was an Omega they were taught like another House-Slave barely knowing their other parent. Betas were completely killed off and the Omega was either hit or kept in solitude.'

Ludwig stopped reading the book and shut it with an angered growl. The book made his kind sound like heartless beast. If he had an Omega and they had a child he would be grateful to just have a child. Treating an Omega like a Beta sounded stupid. "Mr. Beilschmidt." A younger Beta murmured coming into the room. She was the newest on the plantation. Being the most soft spoken and weakest he put her as a maid. He didn't like calling someone a house-slave, it sounded unhuman and heartless. "Yes Yvonne?" He asked as she shut the door behind her and stood with a platter pressed to her chest.

"Would you like me to draw you a bath, it's getting close to nightfall." She smiled and Ludwig nodded getting up and decided on reading a bit more of this horrible book before going to bed. "Mr. Beilschmidt, why are you reading a book about getting an Omega? Are we getting an Omega?" Yvonne asked and Ludwig bit his lip. "My brother, you haven't met him yet. Was complaining about his ruts and wanting a mate to sooth it and he doesn't want a Beta, so he is traveling to Africa to plantations in hope of finding one with his friend. I was just brought into this idea from a late letter with this book inside." He explain giving her the red cover book letting her skim the book.

"I've heard of this treatment to Omegas, are you going to do this Mr. Beilschmidt?" She asked sweetly looking up. Ludwig sent a glare towards her taking the book. "Absolutely not, the Omega in this household will be treated with high respects. I just am furthered disgusted with this book that it interests me. You know what I mean?" He asked and Yvonne laughed. "Of course Mr. Beilschmidt, you picked up a guilty pleasure." She teased and he rolled her eyes. Ludwig walked through the hallway greeting all of the maids as always making sure they were in dress code. (He even stopped to fix the bow on one of the maid's collar who apologized many times while blushing)

"Wolfgang, tell the Betas outside to go into their homes, the work hours are done." He spoke to an older maid. Ludwig made sure all families that worked on his plantation had a nice two story home. They were rather small and he hated that he couldn't make them larger, but the Betas who lived there would thank him everyday for the special treatment. He looked like a cold hearted person, but actually he was very kind never separating a family, always burying a dead Beta and holding a service as well as mourning with the family, played with the children and even had on-hand teachers to teach them how to read and write. He was the most generous Alpha anyone heard of and never resorted to beating or had a Beta try running away.

Yvonne lead him to the large bathing room, in the first room was where the Betas bathed children, his bathroom being the first door and the one off to the left was an equally big room with shower stalls with closable doors and changing rooms with locks to protect his Betas from rape. He took that stuff seriously, having only getting angry at Betas that had committed something so horrible.

"Good morning Mrs. Hudson, how are the twins?" He asked crouching down to see the bubbly Beta twins laughing and one tried to grab his nose. He laugh catching her hand and smiled at her making her go into bright laughter. "A handful as always, they went out to the field today with Markus, loved the sun and the sugarcane. They are just so fascinating to children." Mrs. Hudson smiled. "They are, I found them cool when I was young as well." He patted the children's heads lovingly and said a simple goodbye going into the washing room. Yvonne already finished drawing the bath and pulled out a set of night clothing from a long closet in the room. "Have a nice bath, Mr. Beilschmidt." She bowed and walked out of the room.

Ludwig set the red cover book on the edge of the bath letting his fingers test the water. He deemed the water the right temperature and started stripping setting the clothing beside his night clothing folded neatly. After he was done another maid would collect his clothing and wet towels and take them down to be washed.

He sighed stepping into the large bath sighing at the calming scent of lavender and the warm water that seemed to cradle his body like a lover. He went down in the water holding his breath letting his hands rub at his greasy hair before rising from the water and dried his hand off on the towel placed near the lip of the tub. He took the book off the towel and opened it up to the page he was reading. It had a body image of an Omega, both male and female and started reading.

"Most Omegas go into something called the Heat. It is similar to an Alpha's rut, but most Heats happen once a month at the same time and last around 3 days to a week. Common traits of a heat is your Omega becomes distracted, dilated eyes, strong scents, sexual attraction towards them, and wantonly displaying themselves towards Alphas. During the heat they should be kept in a dark room guarded by Betas so no lingering Alpha can accidentally claim them since Omegas can only have one mate and they could die without having contact with their bonded mate (See page 20 for more in-depth of the subject). Before intercourse they will start leaking an odorless liquid from their vagina/anus. This is common and is used for easy access for mating.

Male Omegas tend to have longer heats than Female Omegas who are more common to get pregnant than a Male Omega. Yet Male Omegas are very capable of getting pregnant."

Ludwig nodded along with the book turning the page.

"Pregnancy:
All Omegas are very capable of getting pregnant and our known to have the most healthiest babies in the whole world. Omegas are not known to have a child that classifies as a Beta, but some records have debunked the idea. Pregnancy is the same for each Omega expect Female Omegas have babies from their vagina while Male Omegas need to have a caesarean that needs to be done by a professional."

Ludwig turned the page to see the development of the babies in an Omegas belly. He thought about his own little Omega and having it bare his children. It made him swell with pride. He turned the page.

"Bonding:
Omegas only pick one mate in their whole life. They will only be loyal to their Alpha and only listen to their , it is common that they will listen to siblings or close friends of their Alpha's family. When an Alpha decides he doesn't want his Omega any longer an Omega will be slowly seem to die off. They stop eating, drinking, and many times sleeping. If you leave for a long period time telling your Omega this won't happen, because they know that you will return to their side. If the date passes when you were suppose to return these symptoms will happen.

An Alpha connected with his Omega will feel restless and will be easily angered without them and will also be a little bit more dangerous. The only way to soothe the restless pain would be to get a new Omega and/or Beta. Omegas are unable to get a new mate since they have a permanent smell of an Alpha on their body saying that they are taken and never to be claimed again by any unwanted Alpha."

Ludwig almost felt disgusted to see the image of an Omega sitting on a bed with a look of pure pain as her Alpha had his arm around a much prettier Omega walking out of the room. "That is harsh." He whispered to himself turning the page of the book.

"Having Your Omega Adapted To Their New Life:"

Ludwig soon wanted to stop reading because on the page next to it was an Alpha standing in the nude holding a whip as an Omega dressed in rages was cleaning dishes. The back of his shirt was ripped already showing the wounds of the whip.

"Omegas shouldn't be thrown into doing work the first day they arrive. Make sure they are comfortable with your staff and calm with the layout of your castle. They should be given their own room and cuffed to the bed frame so they can't escape during the night. Omegas can sleep with their Alphas, but most Alphas don't like the Omegas constant cuddling and want for warmth."

Ludwig lips fell into a frown reading the last line. His Omega wasn't getting his own room no matter what, and will not get cuffed to the bed!

"Alphas should always keep a whip and treats on them. Used for training the Omegas it's place and job."

Ludwig growled as he took the book throwing it into the water. Hearing the loud splash Mrs. Hudson came into the room quickly with a worried expression with her babies in her arms. "I am fine Mrs. Hudson, just accidently dropped my book in the water." He pursed his lips frowning a bit. Mrs. Hudson looked at the book floating about a foot away from Ludwig, she found it suspicious, but bowed apologizing and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.

Ludwig got out of the bath putting the towel around his waist and rubbed his hair putting the towel around broad shoulders before staring into the full body mirror. "You will not torture your Omega, that book is complete bullshit." He spoke into the mirror straightening himself out before putting on the night shirt and pants walking out of the room.

Yvonne came back into the bathroom after watching Ludwig leave the room completely. She was followed by a maid with white hair in loose braids that fell along her shoulders. "Why is there a book in the water?" Nina asked falling to her knees and fished the red book out of the water. Yvonne took one look at the book and smiled at it taking the soaking wet book from Nina putting it in a towel and rubbed it until it dried. "Master Beilschmidt is planning to get his own Omega, he's pretty torn about treating this Omega." She spoke quietly showing the title.

"I think Mr. Beilschmidt will be a great Alpha, he's already swooned half of the staff here." Nina laughed and Yvonne smiled back at her friend as together they drained the tub and cleaned up the room. Yvonne was pretty excited about the new Omega, a new friend to teach the ways of the castle, it would be like having someone who is friend's with royalty. She turned around with the dirty clothing in her hand she shut the door quietly and started towards the washer. After this she will retire to bed and she couldn't wait.

If anyone was wondering, all maids names in Ludwig's castle will be common German names.

I don't own Hetalia and reviewing, liking, and following the story is welcomed!
