Nicholas was brought before the throne room in chains. He saw Harry sitting on his throne with the crown on his head. "Harry, how could you do this to me?" Nicholas said bitterly."I did what I had to do, Nicholas," Harry replied with a smirk."You were my friend. My brother. And you betrayed me," Nicholas said, his voice filled with anger and hurt.Harry shrugged. "You were a weak king. You couldn't even hold your family together. You lost the faith of your people. I did what needed to be done."Nicholas struggled against his chains. "You took everything from me. My family. My throne. My people. How could you be so heartless?"Harry stood up and walked towards Nicholas. "Because I am a better ruler than you ever were. And now, the United Republic of Niklauria has a king who will lead us to greatness."Nicholas shook his head in disbelief. "I never thought you would do something like this. You were supposed to be my friend. My ally."Harry laughed. "You were too blind to see that I w

Aurilia prison was a forsaken place, built by the Phoenix family to contain the worst of society.It was located on a small island, surrounded by the treacherous sea, and was known to be inescapable. Once someone was sent to Aurilia, they were never seen again. It was a place of doom, and those who were condemned to it were considered to be beyond redemption.Nicholas, the once beloved King of the United Republic of Niklauria, was now a resident of Aurilia. He was serving a life sentence for a crime he didn't commit. He had been betrayed by his friend, Harry, who had taken his throne and left him to rot in the infamous prison.Nicholas was in the midst of his uncle, Hans, who he had sentenced to Aurilia for killing Lord Fitzpatrick, Nicholas's grandfather. Hans had taken this opportunity to exact his revenge on Nicholas. He beat him up every day and insulted and mocked him at every turn."Look at you, the mighty king reduced to nothing," Hans said, as he kicked Nicholas in the r

Harry sat in his throne room, his face twisted with fear and anger. The news of Nicholas' escape from prison had struck him hard.He was trembling with fright, the thought of what might happen if he was on the loose again making him break out in cold sweat. He couldn't afford to lose his kingdom, not after all the work he had put into it.In a fit of rage, Harry stormed towards the chief army commander, demanding to know how Nicholas had managed to escape. He was yelling, his voice booming in the empty throne room. "How could this happen?" he demanded. "How could you let him slip away?"The commander bowed his head, his voice trembling with fear as he tried to explain. "Your majesty, we don't know how it happened. No one saw anything. We're still investigating."Harry's face grew even redder. He knew he was in trouble if Nicholas was free. He paced back and forth, his mind racing with thoughts of what he could do. "The Phoenix family," he said suddenly. "They're a prime suspect

Nicholas stood alone at the edge of the cliff, gazing out at the calm and serene sea. The light breeze brushed his face, soothing him with its gentle touch. Suddenly, the sound of footsteps interrupted his solitude. He turned to see Yumi and Julia walking towards him.As Yumi and Julia approached him, they went down on one knee and bowed their heads. "Your majesty, you called for us," they said.Nicholas approached them and said, "Stand up."Yumi and Julia stood up, and Nicholas turned to Yumi. "I owe you an apology, Yumi.

He began to bow, but Yumi stopped him immediately."Your majesty, there's no need for that. I was only doing what I thought was best for you and our country."Nic

Jade's phone suddenly rang. She quickly answered the call, her eyes still locked on Yumi at the rooftop of the opposite building. Placing the phone to her ear, she listened intently, knowing exactly who was on the other end – Yumi."You thought you could kill Nicholas?" Yumi's voice came through the phone, her tone dripping with a mix of anger and triumph. "Well, Jade, it seems like your attempt has only sealed your fate.
