She had always known that she was the most beautiful woman in the kingdom, now the kingdom will know the same as her.
She could see it in her mind’s eye. The day is not far when princes compete for her favor.
The ladies of the capital, who were ever so proud of being the first to buy any fashion on the street, will compete to copy her dress, only to realize they could never match her beauty.
She will bestow her token to the choice of the champion in the joust, she would have a knight who is eternally devoted to her, the crown prince will serve her breakfast in bed, for he could not bear to let her walk to the dining hall o

Chapter 50: The Geometry of Forever
The Ebb Tide of War (Years 1-3)The immediate aftermath of the Star Network Connector’s stabilization and the Chernyi restoration was a flurry of dizzying progress. King Alexander, supported by the analytical might of Rina and the political acumen of Mordi and Davina, launched the Kingdom into an era of unprecedented construction. The Aetheric Rail Network began to snake across the continent, binding the territories with swift, clean power. The Royal Assembly met for the first time, a fractious but functional body where Mordi’s strategic budgeting was debated by guild masters and noble representatives.But the most profound change occurred beyond the border. The mighty Demonkin Army, poised to avenge centuries of exploitation and the horrors inflicted by Boarahen, was expected to launch a devastating offensive. Instead, it dissolved.Davina, leading the Diplomatic Corps, established an immediate and deep dialogue with the Demon Territories. As the Kingdom's clean Aether and water sup
Chapter 49: The Serpent and the Crown
The Unburdening of the KingThree weeks after the eradication of the Mercenary Guild, the Grand Central Anchor hummed with the steady, reliable power of the Star Network Connector. The political seismic shifts had subsided, leaving Alexander in unquestioned command, supported by the terrifyingly efficient House Chernyi and the quiet genius of Rina’s scientific team.The culmination of this transition arrived not in a flash of swords, but in the subdued silence of the Royal Throne Room.The old King, withered and exhausted by a lifetime of complicity and the recent, violent cleansing of his own court, stood before his son, the counselors, and the nobility. He was a shell of the man who had once ruled.“The Crown of Bohemia has always been a heavy burden,” the King’s voice was thin, brittle. “A burden forged in secrecy and sustained by necessary cruelty. I have watched my Kingdom tear itself apart under that weight. Now, a new era has begun—an era built not on fear, but on absolute, un
Chapter 48: The Great Reckoning and the Final Alignment
The Bridge of Absolute PowerThe Grand Central Anchor chamber, once the silent engine of the Kingdom’s self-destruction, now roared with clean, stabilized power. Rina stood on the service bridge, her hands hovering over the main control runes of the True Dimensional Connector. The obsidian core, corrected by the Stabilized Genesis Fluid, spun with a mesmerizing, steady glow—the pulse of a civilization finally free from its own engineered doom.Below her, Mordi Chernyi, now wearing the formal colors of a Royal Counselor and Chief Aetheric Strategist, managed the complex energy allocation feeds. Across the chamber, Grand Duchess Davina Chernyi, a vision of cold, strategic elegance, directed the external intelligence reports and communicated with Prince Alexander’s remote command center."The Star Network Connector is fully charged, Rina," Mordi reported, his voice cutting through the Aetheric thrum. His anxiety was palpable, despite the Chernyi restoration. "We are feeding it the maxim
Chapter 47: The Last Gasp of the Old Blood
The Marble GuillotineThe Palace was not simply tense after the restoration of House Chernyi; it was psychologically fractured. The remaining ancient nobility moved through the halls like ghosts, pale and profoundly aware that their world had ended. They were the houses who had been clean enough, or subtle enough, to survive the purges of the Brights, the Varricks, and Boarahen, but the Royal Edict restoring the Chernyis terrified them more than any execution.The Edict did not just grant wealth; it validated the Chernyis' truth. It confirmed that Alexander was not merely purging corruption, but dismantling the very historical narrative upon which their own power was built. The new Grand Duchess Davina Chernyi and Royal Counselor Mordi Chernyi were not parvenus; they were ancient blood, proven victims of a conspiracy, and now they held the reins of the Kingdom’s entire financial, legal, and Aetheric system.This was intolerable. A final, desperate plot was forged in the deep, shadow-
Chapter 46: The Restoration of the Chernyi Name
The Final BargainThe dawn broke over Aethelgard, bathing the Royal Palace in soft, golden light, yet in Prince Alexander's private study, the atmosphere was frozen in the existential dread of the night before. Rina had returned from the Grand Central Anchor, her face streaked with sweat and grime from the depths of the Earth, yet her bearing was one of untouchable command. She had saved the Kingdom, and Alexander knew he owed her everything.Alexander, weary and humbled by the revelation of the Implosion Engine, sat listening to Rina’s final, chilling report on the Temporal Compression Manifold’s successful correction."The Anchor is now a stable Star Network Connector," Rina concluded, placing the Aetheric Focus Crystal on the Prince's mahogany desk. "The risk is neutralized. The Kingdom's continued existence is no longer predicated on a suicidal geometric paradox."Alexander stared at the crystal, the weight of the Kingdom’s true history settling upon his shoulders. "You have save
Chapter 45: The Heart of the Implosion
Descent into the AnchorThe air within the Grand Central Anchor complex was heavy, vibrating with the silent, immense power contained within. Rina, Hedle, and Edam moved through the upper levels with the quiet confidence of people who understood the machinery better than its custodians. Counselor Mordi Chernyi, his face pale beneath the harsh, sterile lighting, escorted them past the final Royal Guard checkpoint."This is the deepest access point," Mordi whispered, indicating a fortified maintenance shaft descending into the bedrock. "It leads directly to the auxiliary manifold. The guards are Alexander's loyalists, but they are only here to prevent unauthorized entry, not to monitor the Calibration Drill approved by Protocol Gamma-7."He handed Rina the key card and a tightly rolled scroll bearing Alexander’s signature and the Tier-1 Override stamp. "I will monitor the surface logs. You have until sunrise—roughly twenty-four hours—to complete the procedure. If the override fails or
