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

Even if her bridesmaids wished to be her and had hushed conversations about Aisha, it wasn’t from a place of envy. They were all her friends from childhood and they truly admired her and were genuinely happy for her. The room was filled with hums of excitement and affectionate chatter. “You guys! Have you realized that after today, if we see Aisha, we can’t call her by her name anymore?” Anna shouted the moment she realized.“We will have to bow to her and call her ‘My Grace’,” another chimed in. She then walked close to Aisha and mimicked the greeting making everyone laugh including Aisha.“You know you guys don’t have to do that,” Aisha said, her words barely escaping her laughter. Anna walked close and bowed deeply, “Good day, your grace,” she teased, mimicking the accent of the people of Persian. “Stop it!” Aisha couldn’t stop laughing. “You sound funny, don’t even try that again. Hahaha.”“Who would have thought that a daughter of an artisan back home would be here, in this

“How do I look?” “You look absolutely imperial, Your Majesty,” Blake, his best man, said to Dario. Dario was dressed in his regal wedding attire, standing by the window and looking out at the preparations below. Lord Wilson who was also in the room with them adjusted his own formal wear and walked over to join Dario by the window. “Nervous, Your Majesty?”Dario laughed softly and said, “A bit. She makes me nervous. Plus it’s not everyday you get married in front of the most important people in the world.”Lord Wilson chuckled and said, “You have faced battles and led an entire empire with unwavering strength. This will be a breeze compared to that.”“I know,” Dario took a deep breath. “This just feels different.”“I understand you. I remember my big day with the absolute love of my life too, may her soul rest in peace. I was nervous as hell. It’s okay to be nervous about this day. Even the strongest man in the world would be nervous on his big day.”“You know, I’m glad you could ma

It had been more than three years and none of them reached out to the other. Though Amelia kept tabs on Brian. She was well aware that Brian had somehow bounced back into wealth and was now a man of influence, without his family. She regretted what she did to him on that fateful day and hoped that one day, she would be able to express her regrets to him and apologize.“Apologize to me,” he replied. “For what?” “You know what I am talking about, Brian,” she said, her voice laced with sadness. “I hurt you and I’m sincerely sorry for my past mistakes.”Brian let out a short dismissive laugh. “I really hope it’s not too late, and I hope you can find a place in your heart to forgive me,” she said, looking down. She was so ashamed that she couldn’t maintain eye contact.“I have forgiven you a long time ago.” Brian claimed that he had forgiven Amelia a long time ago, but he was yet to heal from the hurt Amelia caused him. Since Amelia, Brian locked his heart from love. He knew he wasn’

The grand doors slowly opened and with every passing second, everyone’s heart raced in anticipation.Aisha stepped into the grand hall with her hand linked with her father’s, who was accompanying her on the aisle. Everyone immediately stood up in respect for their future empress. And as she slowly walked down the aisle, the music in the background started again, but this time, soft and slow. The moment their eyes caught the sight of Aisha, eyes widened, mouths fell agape, and whispers of admiration followed in her wake. Studying every feature of her dress became the preoccupation of every young noble woman in the room. Aisha’s gown was a masterpiece of ivory silk adorned with intricate lace and shimmering with glitters that revealed a different color when it caught rays of light. The train of her dress followed behind her like a cloud of elegance, trailing elegantly along the marble floor. “What is that dress?!” Bethany, the daughter of King Aram whispered, her eyes widened in t

As Aisha reached Dario, she turned to her father who placed a kiss softly on her cheek before giving her hand to her waiting groom. He then bowed in reverence to Dario and left. The grand hall erupted into a loud applause, a chorus of admiration for the bride who had captivated them all with her outstanding elegance and effortless charm. Everyone took their seats. It was time to join the couple! The priest began, “Good day everyone, we are gathered here today for the joining of His Majesty, Lord Dario Reynolds and his bride, Aisha Sadeghi…” As Delilah heard the words of the priest, her mind was drawn to when she and Dario got married. Though it was not elaborate nor was it royal, it was simple and small instead. The memories that played in her mind made her heart ache. Her face fell and she felt a wave of sadness wash over her. “I wish I could go back in time,” she thought. Now, she regretted her past actions most. “Do you, Aisha, take His Majesty to be your lawful

Dario then reached out to help Aisha to her feet. They both looked over at the guests who all had the widest smile on their faces, and had not stopped clapping. The moment they stood upright with their hands locked together, the hall began to echo with the cries of “Long live the Empress!” Aisha glanced at Dario who squeezed her hand reassuringly, his eyes reflecting the same strength and resolve she felt within herself. They then walked down the altar together, arms linked, and slowly made their way out of the grand hall. The echoes of applause and cheers lingered as they reached the end of the hall. As Dario and his bride stepped out, they were greeted by a gleaming Rolls-Royce Corniche convertible, with its top down. The classic car awaited to take them through the streets in a royal procession.A royal servant went ahead to open the door while bowing, for Dario and Aisha to get in. Maya helped carry the train of Aisha’s dress so she could enter the car properly and placed it

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
