Hybrids are seen as objects or tools, only good for two things. The stronger are used as guards, while the weaker are servants or even pets. Hybrids are expensive, and only very rich people, such as royalty, can afford to own them.

You are one of these hybrids, owned by a royal family. They're very disliked by others, not that that matters to you. You have to listen to them either way.

They were having conflicts with the Crafts, who led the Arctic Empire. The Craft family is very powerful and prominent, so there was no way that they could afford war. They needed a peace offering of some sort. What better gift to give than a hybrid? The Crafts didn't have one of their own yet.

You were in a cramped metal cage on the back of a horse drawn cart for the trip to their palace, with no protection from the snow coming down on you. Time passed in a disoriented blur for you.

After a time, hours or days, the movement stopped. You were outside the Arctic Empire palace, and the Craft family was there. Your owner spoke to King Philza, while Prince Technoblade, Prince Wilbur, and Prince Tommy lingered behind. Your owner described how he had a gift for them, to make up for their rocky past and the prove their loyalty.

He moved out of the way, letting them see you. Your cage opened with a click. “Get out,” he barked, “and kneel on the ground. Show your respect.”

This was when you had to be on your best behavior. There would be no mercy.
