A Rise to the Throne Chapter 77: Shattered Self Esteem.
Adonis found himself immersed in the solitude of his room, the weight of the pressing issue at hand bearing down upon him like a heavy cloak. He sat alone, wondering how he was somehow starting to fall from a position he had just attained and was yet to fully enjoy. The path before him just seemed so blur, and he almost concluded that he was probably not just meant to have a good life or something. The swift amnesia of the masses struck him with incredulity. How had they so quickly shifted their focus away from the true perpetrator, Oliver, and directed their accusations at him instead? It was as if the truth had been totally swallowed, leaving them to simply forget about all other things and face him instead. And all because of what? Something he did not do? Mere speculations? A sense of unease crept over him, killing all of the little fragile foundation of self-esteem he had begun to build. He muttered to himself, voicing his doubts aloud. “Perhaps I am just not cut out for this r

Their stern demeanor held an unspoken accusation, a weight that seemed to grow with every passing moment. "Your highness," one officer began, his tone a blend of formality and suspicion, "we have some very serious allegations against you." Adonis shifted uncomfortably, his mind racing to comprehend the gravity of the situation. "Allegations? Against me?" The second officer nodded, his gaze unwavering. "Yes, witnesses have come forward. They claim to have seen you at the hospital on the morning of Harriet's father's passing." Adonis felt like the ground was slipping beneath his feet. "I wasn't there that morning. I swear." The first officer's eyebrows arched, skepticism etched across his features. "We've heard that before, Your highness but witnesses seem to disagree and so we can not just beleiv your words." Adonis clenched his fists, a mixture of frustration and disb

"Who are you?" he questioned, his voice tinged with cautious suspicion. The man offered a weary smile, his face etched with lines that seemed to hold tales of ages past. "Edward, my name is Edward, your highness," he introduced himself, his words carrying a hint of intrigue. "I was once a loyal servant to his royal majesty, King Archie." Adonis exchanged glances with Jesse, their expressions mirroring his curiosity. "Why did you leave then, Edward?"

As they arrived at the palace, a storm of anger and disapproval awaited Adonis in the form of the elders. Their stern expressions and wagging fingers were a clear sign of their disappointment. "Elders, I..." Adonis began, his voice faltering slightly under the weight of their collective gaze. "Your highness!" snapped Lady Beatrice, her voice a thunderclap that reverberated through the room."Do you realize the gravity of your actions?" Another elder’s voice was tinged with a mix of disbelief and reproach. "We explicitly instructed you not to leave the palace, your highness, and yet, you defy our words? Haven’t you been told yet that even the king is answerable to the tribunal? It is a great feature of a good king." Adonis met their stern gazes, his jaw clenched in determination to make them see his point any which way, "I understand your concern, but there were unforeseen yet important circumstances."

In a surge of anticipation, they stormed into the warehouse, driven by the desire to unveil all of the secrets that was needed to be revealed and all of the tables that was needed to be turned.What they encountered, however, painted a different picture entirely. Instead of the expected figures of Oliver or even Lord Bassey, the space revealed a gathering of normal looking men, circled around a table adorned with stacks of boxes. Amidst the echoing silence, the atmosphere was charged as they had barged in on them as if expecting to meet them trafficking kids if possible, they had expected the worst of the worst after all, only for the scene that they had come into to be this.The commissioner's authoritative voice sliced through the charged air, a call for order amidst the various sea of emotions, Fear and confusion for the men they had barged on and disappointment and equal confusion for they that had barged in on them."Hold your positions," he instructed no one in particular, his w
A Rise to the Throne Chapter 83: An Ominous Letter.
Adonis took a cautious step forward, his heart heavy with the gravity of the moment.His voice, a mix of genuine regret and humility, carried the weight of his remorse, of the fact that despite what Harriet and her family had done to him, despite how bad they had treated him, he still regarded Micheal as a cyber figure, one that he held dear because of all three of them, he was the only one who somehow treated him like he at least mattered, whether or not it was because of the gains they get from him, at least he was grateful and sensible."Harriet," he began, his words as tender as a soothing melody, "I extend my deepest condolences for your father's passing. I really want you to understand that I had no part in his death and no intention to stop justice if ever you are even think that I am trying to do that.”Harriet's gaze, veiled with a shroud of grief and suspicion, met his.
