Description: The French Revolution, which started with the king, sent many citizens to the guillotine, "exporting" the momentum of democratization to countries around the world—marking a turning point in history. But underneath the surface, there was another world that none were aware of...18th century France—this was a time where the world's royalty, nobility, and commoners were separated into a 3-tier system, α (alpha), β (beta), and Ω (omega).
King Louis XVI was known as the "dim-witted α." Queen Marie Antoinette, who married in from a neighboring country in a political marriage, was ridiculed as the "lustful Ω." Then there was a certain girl who held a grudge against the royal family...
Seeking, hating, deceiving... A swirling conspiracy emerged, catching everyone in a revolutionary storm!
My Opinion: Omegaverse is something completely new for me and reading this manga I got quite interested in it. Since the description doesn’t tell much about the story, let me explain a bit more in detail.
The main character is Fran, a young village girl traveling to Paris in search of revenge for her older brother, who was killed by a mysterious man with red eyes. Unbeknownst to her, the social hierarchies are more complex than initially assumed. Next to the huge gap between nobility, the rich and the poor, there exists another system, which further separates the people of France. The strong alpha with their attractive bodies and special abilities make the top, while the dumb, but fertile omega are at the very bottom, with the normal beta in between. Furthermore, omega are highly sought after for their abilities to give birth regardless of their gender and their children having a high chance being alpha tier. (for example the queen Marie-Antoinette is a male omega right for this purpose).
Turns out poor Fran is an omega and the fated mate of none other than the beautiful king of France, who als turns out to be the man who killed her brother for reasons unknown to her. Determined to kill her enemy Fran starts working as a lady in waiting to the queen, only to become more and more torn between her feelings for Louis XVI. and her hatred for her brother's murderer.
Unfortunately the king of France isn‘t the only one interested in Fran. Her childhood friend, a man later known as the leader of the french revolution, another alpha, seeks her to be his mate. How will Fran decide? Will she be the key to another era of peace or the dawn of a time of nightmares? Louis XVI. with his special ability to see into the future ultimately knows what will happen if Fran decides to be with him, but can he take responsibility for thousands of lives to be lost, even if his heart and very being are ripped apart pushing away the woman he loves and desires most in the world?!I think it‘s a really exiting manga and I can‘t wait how it will end. The many twists and turns make it really enjoyable to read! It would be nice if J-Novel Club could license it.

Omegaverse and special powers? Very neat!
It's always amazing to see how Japan took a concept that literally came from a Supernatural kink meme prompt and created some AMAZING stories

Omegaverse x french revolution?! Count me in! It‘s nice and kind of refreshing and exiting it’s a omegaverse manga with a straight couple. You don’t see this very often. I‘m also interested in the male omega queen Marie-Antoinette.

Hmm, this does have something. I definitely would like to read it.
