The Emperor’s only Heir Chapter 113
“Your Majesty, you have visitors,” Bruce informed Dario, who was in his father's study with his eyes fixed on the mystery box he placed on the table. Has Dario been able to unlock the mystery box after all these years?Dario averted his gaze to Bruce who stood at the door, “Who are they?” he asked. “Mr Blake and Mr Brian, Your Majesty.”“Hmm, okay. Tell them I will be down there in a bit.”After Bruce left, Dario appeared to be lost in thoughts staring at the mystery box. After a while, he came back to reality and remembered that he had visitors waiting for him, so he left to meet them.“Good day, Your Majesty,” Brian and Blake stood up and bowed in reverence when they saw Dario approaching.“Good day,” Dario greeted. “It's good to see you both. Isn't it too early in the morning though?” he asked as he walked to take his seat. “We are sorry for coming so early, we have to prepare for the second year anniversary of the launching of the IBM PC 2. So, we thought about coming before go

“I shall be choosing my bride today.”Brian and Blake already bid their goodbyes and left for that anniversary ceremony. And Dario had also attended to the people of Armenia that came bearing gifts. This time they came bearing imported technological gifts. They knew how Dario loved the advancement of technology and technological devices. A soft genuine smile spread across his lips as he checked them. Dario loved them. He had not checked all, but he couldn't wait to be done with his plans for the day and check them all out. They also came with their traditional snacks that Dario loved so much. They always sent them every time and Dario found it very thoughtful and sweet. He extended his thanks to the representatives and sent his regards to King Aram through them. Now, it was time for Dario to choose his bride. The news about the victory of the Persian empire had spread across the world like wildfire. Every news channel carried the news and the clip of the final battle between Dar

Her gaze met his, and for a moment, the room seemed to fade away.Dario’s heart skipped a beat. His brows furrowed as he couldn't understand the sudden rush of emotions that overwhelmed him. Strangely, warmth spread around his chest; it was something he hadn't felt for any lady in years. He leaned forward, his eyes narrowing slightly as he took his time to look at her every feature. It was nothing about her body and Dario knew it. He tried to understand what about her that captivated him so much, but he couldn't place a pin on it.The women stepped forward but Dario’s eyes didn't leave her. They all introduced themselves and Dario couldn't wait for her turn. “Your Majesty,” she said softly, her voice was clear and melodic. When Dario heard her voice, his heart began to race. There was something about it. “I am Selena, but you can call me Aisha. I'm from the northern plains of Aureus Kingdom. I bring no extravagant gifts, only my respect and hope to know the man behind the crown.”

“I love your hairpins,” Dario said, leaning over to touch them. Aisha’s heart didn’t stop racing as she looked up and stared at him. She was quite on the shorter side. Dario was over six feet tall and Aisha was about five feet seven inches tall. They had just met and they were already acting like lovers. To Dario, it felt like it was just him and her in the room. He didn’t mind anyone else’s presence and just focused on his future wife. Dario had already made up his mind that it was Aisha or no one.Gradually, the grand room and the mansion had emptied as the other women and their people left, also the advisors had said their goodbyes and left, leaving Dario and Aisha alone in the grand room. Dario took Aisha’s hand in his and walked her to sit next to him in the grand room. As she took her seat, he couldn’t help but notice how graceful she was, even in such a simple act. Dario felt at peace around her. There was this calm aura that surrounded her. He was beyond overwhelmed.Da

He leaned closer, his gaze locking onto hers, “I feel the same way. There’s a strength and sincerity in you that I really admire. If I could, I would marry you this minute.” Dario said, his gaze shifting to her plump lips and back to her eyes. Aisha’s face flushed red immediately, making her look down to hide her already crimson red cheeks behind her long, wavy hair. “I’m flattered, Your Majesty. Thank you!”Dario reached out for her chin and raised her head gently so she would face him. Her heart fluttered at how close their faces were. Was Dario going to kiss her on their first meeting?Up close, she could see the chiseled lines of his jaw, his intriguing ocean blue eyes, and the warmth of his smile. He was more handsome than she had seen on television or that she had ever imagined. ‘He is gorgeous!’Her in the reality of being by his side at this moment, filled her with a sense of purpose and excitement. “I look forward to our future together, Your Majesty,” she said softly.Da

It was already evening and Dario had already met with the people from Aureus kingdom that came with Aisha. He had requested to meet her parents and other family members as soon as possible since they didn’t come to Persian empire with her.He wanted to meet them to formally ask for her hand in marriage. Even if they had willingly offered her already to him as a bride, he wanted to ask for her hand in marriage instead.Also to get familiar with them and discuss terms, dowries, and the union benefits to both families. Without wasting time, Dario had ordered for the wedding preparations to begin. It was going to be the grandest wedding of all time!On the other hand, Aisha was actively shown to her room by the royal servants and would be given a tour around the mansion after that. Every second she had spent in Dario’s mansion after she was chosen had been the best time of her life. She felt welcomed and accepted here and she knew she would love it here.‘The warmth everyone extended to

“We are going to have a little family together soon. She would give to me what you failed to give to me.” He continued. Delilah stood still like she was in a trance. All she could hear were slow and slurry bits of what Dario was saying till she could no longer hear him. In her mind, played scenes of when she and Dario used to paint imaginary pictures of the little family they would create after they get married, many years ago. She could remember vividly, the bright smile on their faces and the joy they felt in their hearts.But now, another woman was going to give him that, because of her greed. ‘But, I’m changed now,’ she said to herself, regret and pain surging through her veins. ‘I’m changed now,’ she repeated to herself.“The preparations for our royal wedding have commenced, it’s going to be the grandest wedding of a lifetime! I can’t wait!” Dario continued, but Delilah, lost in her own thoughts, could barely hear him.Dario kept talking until he realized Delilah had zoned ou

“…thank you. That will be all for today,” Bruce said before taking his leave into the mansion. At the gate of the mansion, a group of reporters gathered to try to get as much information as possible about the highly anticipated royal wedding. Few days after choosing Aisha to be his bride, Dario had officially announced to the public about his plans on getting married. The announcement had generated the public’s interest over the past few days.And since the announcement, Bruce had to attend to the flock of reporters that paraded the front of the mansion, hungry for information.Dario and Aisha sat at the grand table in the mansion, side by side as they discussed their wedding plans. “The preparation for our wedding so far has been going very well. You need to see the decorations at the palace. It is breathtaking,” Dario said to her. “But, I don’t want you to see it yet.”Aisha chuckled, “it’s fine. I will wait till then, it’s only a few days away and I can’t wait!” She let out a ha

Chapter 202
Elizabeth’s anger boiled as she approached Dario too with calculated steps. Watching her soldiers fall one by one, crushed by the Persian Empire’s forces twisted her guts and she couldn’t stop thinking about it as she stared at Dario. ‘I’m going to kill you today!’ she thought to herself with fierce determination. She had made up her mind as her helicopter descended that either her or Dario would die today. And she was certain that she was not going to be the one.Dario on the other hand wondered who Elizabeth thought she was to land uninvited in his empire. The audacity was as outrageous as it was infuriating.‘Unwise audacity has always been her thing. When I’m done with her, she would wish she didn’t make this choice,’ Dario said to himself. Their gaze remained fixed on each other and time seemed slow. Suddenly, Elizabeth reached out to her gun and started shooting at Dario. The gunshots rang out across the premises, echoing in the ears of everyone around. But as the bullets s
Chapter 201
At the eastern border of the empire, the loud sounds from gunshots and clash of swords and shields filled the air. The soldiers from the Beth empire came ready and rained an attack on the Persian empire. But to their surprise, they weren’t as ready as the soldiers of the Persian empire. Elizabeth and her ally kingdoms had decided to rain an apocalyptic attack on Persian and had been planning this very attack for months. But unfortunately for Elizabeth, her trusted ally kingdoms opted out and failed her on the supposed day of the attack; today. They recognized Dario’s strength and power and knew that they wouldn’t dare!But despite being betrayed by her allies, Elizabeth was adamant on going on with the attack with her own men. A few of her allies tried to talk her out of it but they failed as she was determined to attack Persian without a heads up or a warning. “Y’all are so obsessed with us,” a Persian soldier sneered at one of Beth’s soldiers, looking down at his lifeless body

Dario let his gaze wander around the throne room, taking in the majesty that surrounded him. Every single thing around was a testament to his journey.He closed his eyes and leaned back against the throne, allowing his mind to drift and be filled with the memories of his past. The thoughts of days when he had nothing, when survival was a daily struggle, and he and Maria had to scavenge abandoned leftovers on the street. Those days, when they returned to their home on the street after going out to scavenge for food, Maria would ask, “what did you find?”And Dario would also ask, “Were you able to get plenty?”The bitter cold nights coupled with the gnawing hunger and the hopelessness that often threatened to consume him. But he also remembered the moment things got a little bit better; when Sir Davis miraculously came around. It was still hard but it got better. Life was humiliating and filled with insults until everything suddenly turned around for good. From a ‘nobody’ one night,

SEVEN MONTHS LATER…The air of the mansion was thick with the scent of power and influence as the President and his associates discussed with Dario in the throne room.“Mr Dario,” the president continued, “again, thank you for seeing us on such short notice.” Dario returned a smile as bright as the President’s, nodding and said, “It’s always a pleasure, Mr President. Please, to what do I owe this pleasure?”The president glanced at his associates with relief evident on his face and answered, “I will just cut to the chase. We’re here today because over the past months, it has become clear what the people have chosen.”Dario took a second to try to understand what exactly the president meant and was driving at. “What the people have chosen?” he asked. “Yes, Mr Dario. And by this, I mean the people in the entire country.”“Okay,” Dario answered, dragging his word and waiting for the president to continue talking.“The truth is that, I have always admired you since the presidential cont

Blake’s mouth went dry instantly as his eyes shot at Dario. He could hear his heart pounding so hard in his ears. “Y… your… your Ma-“ With Dario’s eyes still locked with Blake’s, he added, “Thank you for everything. You know what I mean by everything.” After his statement, he smiled and chuckled at Blake. “You… your majesty,” he stammered and swiftly cleaned the sweat on his forehead with his sweaty palms. “I- I don’t know what you’re talking about, Your Majesty,” he lied, his voice shaking. “Oh, really?” Dario asked, his brows slightly stretched upward. He then looked down and said, “Oh, Blake-“ The next second, Dario raised his head and glared intensely at Blake. His face was now tense and focused, conveying anger and intense annoyance. “There is no need to lie. And trust me, I’m not going to accommodate your lies one more time,” he added, his jaw clenched tight, making the muscles of his face look more pronounced. “You!” Dario shouted and placed the tip of his pocke

The room fell silent as everyone exchanged puzzled glances before slowly disappearing. They knew something was off with Dario’s demeanor.There was a sudden change and they could all feel it. “Ethan! Evan!” Natalie called out to the boys, signaling with her hand for them to come to her. Just like expected, they both ran to her. “Let’s go get ready for dinner, my loves,” she said and led them out of the throne room while Bruce also followed.When everyone left and Dario finally turned back to face Blake, Blake wished the moment of everyone leaving lasted forever. ‘Why does he suddenly want to have a private conversation with me?’ Blake wondered as his stomach churned, but he maintained his smile. Dario took a moment to stare at Blake with a smile still lingering on his face. For some reason, the smile scared Blake the most. “Your Majesty,” Blake said, eager to fill the silence, “I just want to say again how incredible and magnificent you are. The way you-“Abruptly, Dario cut him
Chapter 196
Blake left Elizabeth’s living room with a heavy heart and his hand clutched to his crimson red cheek. And at the back of his mind, he knew that the stakes had never been higher. Before he left her house, Elizabeth had given Blake a sound and stern warning. After Elizabeth landed a hot and thunderous slap on Blake’s face, he looked up at her with fear flickering in his eyes as she rained blames on him. He couldn’t believe that after everything, Elizabeth shifted all the blame to him, but what could he do?“You must find a way to eliminate that rat!” she exclaimed, her gaze boring into his.“How?” Blake asked her, his voice a little above a whisper. “Emperor Dario will be on high alert now. Getting close to him or doing anything will be nearly impossible.”“I… don’t… care… how you do it,” she hissed, taking her time to say every word as she stared down at him. “You must find a way. You do whatever it takes, even if you lose your life in the process…”Blake’s eyes widened at Elizabeth
Chapter 195
*roar!!*Dario roared loudly, beating his chest with his other hand while King Nathan’s head was raised high with his other hand.He paused and moved the head from his left to the right in an attempt to show everyone what he had done. With his face stern, he roared again, pride evident in his demeanor as he beat his chest continuously.The more he roared, the louder the cheers of his people and supporters.Watching, Natalie couldn’t have been more proud of Dario. Her lips were spread into a very wide smile that her cheeks were starting to hurt. She clapped her hands non stop and screamed happily as her gaze never left Dario. Without even doing so much, Dario achieved victory. The Persians truly aren’t losers. “By the right of conquest,” Dario began, as everyone suspended their cheers to hear what he had to say. He continued, “ALL! that was King Nathan’s now bongs to me!” he declared, his words echoing across the entire area as cheers erupted again. This time, the cheers were eve
