Living well was easy. The 4 Idut brothers were rich, famous and nobles. Bruce was a rich business executive. Things were fine. Ash, Cedar and Teigan were growing up fine. They had Walter, Winston, Jonathan and Oswin all looking after them. Even though they were not royals themselves, it was a massive crew. 2 alpha primes, a beta and an omega prime were around to back them up if there was any trouble. Walter, Winston and Jonathan already were taking gymnastics and fencing lessons. Anna got the princes to join in to get some good benefits for them. It was still not enough. Not only did they need to keep their grades up, they also needed to do another activity to keep them busy. They turned to sports. Ash and Cedar chose to take tennis lessons. Soccer was what Teigan went with. Lady Elisa's first born son also chose a sport. It was swimming that Prince Colbert decided on. Apparently he was actually really good at it. Nearly good enough to go pro. That would certainly come in time. He had not presented as an alpha yet. It would give him the needed edge.
Months went by in real life for Anna before they had made it to the point where Anna started the game from. That was junior year of high school. Child development was expedited in the game so that they could join parties and be used for other missions and dynasty building faster. No one wanted to spend literal years changing diapers in a video game. It was not a mystery to Anna what the children would turn out to be. The Idut Family was rich enough to do the blood tests to check out their phenotype shortly after birth. She knew before they could tell her. Oswin was the odd one out. He was distressed to learn that he was an omega. Gathering the 5 together, Anna sat them down for a talk. The princes were alphas. They could not be anything else with a sigma gene. "First, I want to speak to Oswin and Jonathan. Just because they were not born as alphas, does not mean they are lesser than you. They've been by your side this entire time. Do not discriminate against them." she said. She had beat egalitarianism into the heads of the children from a young age.
Nodding their heads calmly, it seemed like those teachings had taken hold in them. Oswin and Jonathan truly were just a single step behind them in most things that they did together. Jonathan the beta and Oswin the omega did gymnastics better than most children in the country. They were that good. Even alpha adults marveled at their skills. It was the same in fencing. There was no one they could not beat except for their alpha cousins. Saying it out loud was not needed, but it reinforced those ideas already deep in the back of their minds. "Oswin might be an omega. That comes with biological facts we can't change. But it will not stop him from being as strong or as fast or as capable as any other person you'll meet. I don't look down on my nephews and I will not let you guys look down on each other. Do I make myself clear, boys!?" she concluded. They all said yes. It was more than enough for Anna. As a group of boys on the cusp of something great, they needed all of the love and support that they could get. It was something that she was doing right by them.
