From there, the boys met up and they all went to the 4 star hotel prepared for them. Evan and his father took the last train of the night home. It was a shame they would miss what would happen next. Anna could not wait to see them take parliament by storm with their speeches. It was early in the morning when they left for the building. It was full address to parliament so every member would be together in front of the empty throne. Breaca was a constitutional monarchy. Parliament met at the pleasure of the crown, but even the king and queen of the nation were bound by the laws of the land. The king and queen were not going to attend. However, they would no doubt be watching on television like the rest of the country. They did not begin until after 11. Each of the members were given time to speak. The alphas were obviously given more time. Evan had written a heartfelt thank you and had given it to Reilly to speak it out loud. They were doubles partners. It was extremely humble. The boys were all proud and confident in their time in front of parliament. Anna really liked it.
Looking at the online reception, people had mixed views. It seemed to break down on gender lines. Omegas loved it. Alphas criticized them relentlessly. Betas were in the middle. Their opinion shifted on party lines. The Shriner party members loved Evan's letter because he specifically gave them a shout out. Labor liked Reid and Reilly because they were on the same team. The photo was very influential. It was all around great for the progressive betas that liked the Omegan Freedom party. These were the first omegas to address parliament. There were 4, but really 5, omegas speaking to the nation. They were all strong, handsome, competent, very well spoken and independent. Combined with the fact that they might really be national heroes soon, they could probably run for office and win one day. Sports stars tended to retire early after all. When they made it back to the hotel they took a bit to breathe and relax. Charles called them to congratulate them for their speeches. Bruce did the same. The fact he sent outfits for the ball showed he was very invested in the 4 boys.
Ronan was the one doing singles competition in the Burke Cup. Because of that, Bruce decided to give him a special outfit. Owen was his bodyguard and attendant. The alpha looked was given a matching outfit. It looked good on him. Anna had eyes and could be honest about it. Bruce was pushing them together. She supported Mitchel's relationship with Ronan. At the prime minister's mansion, it was a shock for most to see Reid, Reilly and Rhys dance with Molly and Anna. They were taking the masculine role and were praised for how well they did it. It made their chests swell with pride. It was culturally expected for omegas, even males, to take on the feminine role. It was always to be acknowledged. Reilly floated between Anna and Molly to dance. Ronan paced back and forth at the edge of the dance floor. It was clear what he wanted. He had only danced once with Kevin. Continuously dancing with your parent was super lame at his age. Owen was a silent shadow following him. Eventually he took Ronan on the floor and danced with him. Ronan to the feminine role.
