"You're truly unruly, uneducated, and nothing more than a frog in a well, thinking you're so great!”

Sophia scoffed with disdain.

“That's why I despise talking to someone as lowly as you!"

Alex chuckled, “Believe me, I am trying to be honest here.”

"You? A powerful man?" she sneered, glaring at him with utter disgust.

"You can't even begin to understand how powerful I am or the people I've encountered who are far more powerful than you. They could erase you with just a sneer."

Alex laughed.

"The powerful men you know might be the ones seeking my favor, pleading for me to marry their daughters just to stay in my good graces. Trust me, you're incredibly lucky to have crossed paths with me."

What a braggart!

Sophia rowed her eyes in disgust.

She wanted nothing more than to throw something at his smug face.

How shameless could he be, pretending to be so powerful when all he had was an old military backpack?

"You might pretend not to know me and try to bind me with marriage just to get my money," Sophia retorted.

"But I warn you, that’s never going to happen. If my family finds out I slept with a poor man like you, you’ll be erased from this world. So you’d better keep your mouth shut and forget everything that happened here."

"I…"

"I don’t want to hear another word from you. Now, get out of this room," she demanded, her eyes blazing with fury.

"But…"

Alex tried to protest.

This was his room.

“NOW!”

Yet, seeing the fury in Sophia’s wide eyes, he chose not to argue.

He quietly put on his clothes, grabbed his old military backpack, and looked at Sophia one last time.

"I…"

"Get out!" Sophia’s yelled at the top of her lung.

"Alright."

In the elevator, Alex sighed, running a hand through his hair.

He knew the woman was under the influence of a cruel aphrodisiac, one that would end her life if she didn’t have sex with a man within the hour.

If there were any other way to save her, he would have done it already.

But that kind of sinister poison had no antidote.

"What the hell have I done? I came here to meet my fiancée, but before even meeting her, I’ve already slept with another woman. Maybe this is what they call a legendary bachelor party."

As Alex walked out from the elevator into the lobby, it was around five in the morning.

The hotel was quiet, with only a few people scattered around.

Yet, as he crossed the lobby, a group of men in black—about forty of them—suddenly appeared, forming two lines and bowing deeply as he passed.

He glanced at them with little interest, his expression one of boredom as if this was something he was long tired of.

A middle-aged man stepped forward from the group, kneeling before him in a knight-like stance.

"I am Alfred Kingston, at your service, Young Master," the man declared with reverence.

Alex looked down at him. "Alfred, do you know why I’m here in such simple clothes?"

"Young Master,

please enlighten me," Alfred responded, his head still bowed.

"I’m here incognito," Alex explained. "And all this unnecessary fuss—are you trying to blow my cover so everyone knows who I truly am?"

"I apologize for my short-sightedness," Alfred quickly stood, turning to the men behind him.

With a swift gesture, he signaled for them to disperse, and the line of men quickly melted away, leaving the lobby empty once more.

"Tell me what youre here for," Alex said as he walked toward a nearby sofa.

Alfred followed closely behind, like a faithful servant.

"Yes, Young Master," Alfred responded promptly.

He reached into his coat and pulled out a small box.

Opening it, he revealed a black card with gold trim and a .235-carat diamond embedded in the center.

"This is the World First Royale Mastercard. With unlimited credit, just use it as you see fit."

Alfred humbly handed it to Alex.

"This card also comes with a dedicated 24/7 concierge service that is highly personalized for you alone.”

“You’ll have access to a team that can fulfill almost any request, whether it’s securing last-minute reservations at the finest restaurants, arranging private jet travel, or gaining entry to exclusive events.”

“It connects you to the most secretive circles—no one will ever say no to you."

Alex looked at the card without any interest.

Alfred continued.

"I also arranged for the newest Sport car Bugatti La Voiture Noire, a one-of-a-kind model equipped with the latest artificial intelligence technology and self-driving capabilities.”

“But since you are here incognito, I guess you won’t like it, — so here is a villa in case you need to have a long stay."

Alfred explained with caution.

Alex nodded.

"Good to see you understood. I’ll keep the card for emergencies, but you can hold onto all the other gifts you’ve prepared."

“Now, tell me what you want.”

    The front screen froze at 100%.“Father,” Sofina said quietly. “Doesn’t that mean Alex is pure-blood from the Earth Empire?”Wilhelm leaned back in his chair, the weight of centuries settling into his posture. “I checked the records left by our ancestors. There are only a few lines that speak of total pure blood.”“And what do they say?” Sofina asked.Wilhelm’s eyes hardened. “If he is not the Emperor of the Earth Empire, then he is at least a prince—a legitimate claimant to the throne.”“Someone with pure Royal blood like that—wherever he stands among the six nations—will inevitably become king. His authority is carried in his veins.”Sofina swallowed. Then she looked straight at him. “Father… tell me how you know Alex survived the light bomb.”Wilhelm raised his hand. Two holographic screens bloomed into existence.On the first screen, a blinding sphere of light expanded—Alex’s ship caught in the instant the light bomb detonated. The moment of supposed annihilation.Wilhelm moved hi

    “So, Father—do you really plan to turn them into slaves?” Sofina asked. Her face made her opposition unmistakably clear.The king let out a slow sigh. “That was the original plan,” he said. “The one we agreed on last year—before everything changed.”“What changed?” Sofina pressed.The king waved his hand dismissively.The wall screen flickered to life.Footage from Bella’s laboratory filled the room—cold, sterile, and ominous. Inside, several people worked at their stations, moving with precision. Some of them laughed. Others talked casually.“Last year,” the King said, his voice rising with barely contained excitement, “they finally reached Prussia’s technological level. It was the perfect time to harvest them as slaves. And from that moment on—”His expression shifted into something close to ecstasy.“—they stepped beyond us. They abandoned Prussia’s old path and broke free from its chains.”Sofina stared at him, struggling to follow.“What do you mean?” she asked.“Prussia,” Wilhel

    The palace hall fell silent as Duke Christoph played the live feed.On the massive screen, Alex’s aircraft was swallowed by blinding white light. The light bomb detonated. The image shook violently, then dissolved into static and fire. Nothing remained. No wreckage. No escape.The King stared at the screen, his face draining of color. Sofina felt the blood leave her lips. Her fingers clenched without her noticing.Duke Christoph turned, already smiling.“Your Majesty,” he said smoothly, “the last heir of Saint-Claire is confirmed dead. The obstacle is gone. I request that you revoke Princess Sofina’s five-year promise. With that condition removed, she may be married at once—to a man of your choosing.”He did not hide his intent. Everyone in the hall knew whose son he meant.The King did not answer immediately. He turned to Sofina.“Sofina,” he asked quietly, “what do you think?”She lifted her head. Her eyes were steady, though her chest felt tight.“Father,” she said, “you are the Ki

    On the throne, King Wilhelm Augustus sat rigid, his gaze fixed on the man before him.“Christoph,” he said coldly, “is it truly necessary to hunt down the last heir of Saint-Claire?”Duke Christoph von Dornwald inclined his head, just enough to show respect. “Your Majesty, we exterminated the entire Saint-Claire family during the last succession because they were the greatest threat to your crown. They supported your brother.”“If we allow this one survivor to grow unchecked, he will become a danger to us—to our sleep, to our peace. Eliminating him is necessary.”The king’s fingers tapped once against the armrest. “Then explain to me this,” he said. “How can he be so rich?”“It appears the rumors are true,” Christoph replied. “He studied cultivation in Xia. When he returned, he crushed the underworld leaders one by one, forced them under his command, and used that foundation to build Eden Group. During the last betting event alone, he amassed wealth that surpassed even Your Majesty’

    When Alex heard that his enemy might be the king himself, his heart went ice-cold.“Countess Marlene,” Alex asked suddenly. “How long have I been here?”“About twenty three hours since we found you,” Marlene replied.“Listen to me,” Alex said quickly. “I guess, the only reason I’m still alive is because Sofina, as a princess, demanded my protection. The king may agree—but only for one day. Twenty-four hours.”He tried to stand, then staggered as his legs failed him.“After those twenty-four hours,” Alex continued, forcing herself upright, “he’ll send people to kill me again.”A sharp, brutal pain exploded inside his body. Alex froze. In that instant, He understood.The king had spared his life—but not his power.His inner core was gone. Destroyed. Completely erased. The force he had cultivated for years was empty, hollowed out like a burned-out star.“…Damn it.”Alex hurriedly pulled on his clothes, his movements stiff and uneven.“Marlene, I need to leave Prussia. Now. If the king un

    Alex froze. His eyes widened.“Why… why is this because of me?”Countess Marlene folded her arms.“Because Sofina called Eve to save you,” she said. “When Eve found you, you were lying on the ground like crushed meat. Like you’d been hit by an aircraft. Bones shattered. Body torn up. Half-dead. She had no choice but to fly you straight to the hospital.”Alex’s mind went blank for a second.Then memories rushed back.Three men.A fight.Blood.One of them called someone “Master”… or something like that.Then—darkness.He slowly raised his wrist.His bracelet.The device that recorded everything.It was gone.His heart sank.Countess Marlene noticed his movement and gave a small nod.“Your bracelet was destroyed,” she said.Alex’s fingers tightened.“And everything Eve saw…” Marlene continued, her lips curving into a faint smile, “was transmitted to Estoria. To Bella.”She paused.“Your Bella saw you broken. Dying. Covered in blood.”Her eyes sharpened.“She was terrified. Furious. She
