The future uke was raised as a test subject for a pharmaceutical company whose goal was to covert a beta into an omega. The uke was the most promising of the subjects but he needed a catalyst (like pheromones and presence of a dom alpha) to solidify his omega traits. Once news got out about the prince being a dominant alpha, it wasn't taken well in this mostly beta world so political pressure on the monarchy resulted in the prince getting engaged...the head of the pharma that owns the uke test subject presented his real son as the omega fiancee to the prince but still sent the uke test subject to the palace to complete the experiment. My guess is that if he can make the uke a real omega he can eventually do the same to his real son and their status, power and wealth will increase by association with the monarchy. The prince has been suspicious of the pharma company and his beta fiancee from day 1 so initially he was trying to get intel from the uke about it, he's been steadily falling in love with him just as the uke has fallen for him.
