“You all are getting what you deserve!”“They are so dumb, hahaha.”“You all are nothing compared to us!” he roared beating his chest. The enemy soldiers blurted out insults and words dripping with pride and sarcasm as they took down Dario’s soldiers one after the other.“Behind you!” one of Dario’s soldiers shouted to alert his friend to dodge a slash. “Even if it looks like they have an upper hand right now, giving up is not an option!” “We can do this! Together!”Dario’s generals and soldiers reassured each other as they pressed on and kept fighting relentlessly.The medical team ran between the chaos to wheel injured soldiers in stretchers to the sides of the field where the medical tents were set up.They provided first aid and cared for the injured soldiers properly. With courage, they rushed into the battlefield to get their injured soldiers even if they knew they could die in the process. Dario on the other hand looked over the battlefield as confusion churned in his mind
The Emperor’s only Heir Chapter 181
After one last glance of disdain, the commander left Dario who was lying almost unconscious on the floor and moved to the next Persian soldier within his sight. As he fought the next soldier, he relished in his victory. The great Emperor Dario just died in his hands! He thought proudly.But unfortunately and unknowingly to him, his victory was going to be short-lived. That minute, the pain Dario felt began to fade and a warmth spread across his body as the wounded sight began to close up.Dario’s breath came back to him and his strength was renewed in multiple folds. He immediately sprang back to his feet with a resolve that only the powers of his ring could bestow. As the commander turned to check on Dario’s fallen body to relish in his victory better, he was met with a sight and feeling that defied belief. Dario’s body was no longer where it had been, and alongside the shock of his sudden disappearance, the commander felt a sharp pain surge through him as Dario’s sword was alrea

“Not the time to feel satisfied yet,” Dario murmured to himself. “No satisfaction until total victory.”His focus remained on winning the battle finally. Then he could allow himself to feel happy, satisfied, proud, relieved and more.The battlefield echoed endlessly with the clash of steel and the cries of the injured. But one thing was clear enough; the end was near. One by one, the enemies fell.Fear began to creep into the resolve of the kings of Ashton, Richmond, Hudson and Clandestine. They began to feel hopeless, exchanging desperate glances. King Erad found his way to King Samuel. “Our men are falling, one after the other. I think we should consider surrendering before we lose everything,” he said, glancing at their diminishing force. King Samuel nodded in agreement, “I totally agree, Erad,” he said, his breath coming in short and ragged. “I always knew the Persians were strong but how could they defeat us as a whole?? If we don’t surrender now, there will be nothing left of

*Cheers**Cheers*As the trucks carrying the victorious Persian soldiers moved them towards the empire, they sang their victory song at the top of their voices and from the depth of their hearts. Their faces were lit up in admiration and wide grins, with their hearts swelling with pride. And as the trucks tumbled through their border, their engines roared like the hearts of the triumphant men and women.As the trucks drove in deeper from the border, the soldiers realized that the people of the empire had lined up at both the right and left sides of the empire. These people screamed at the top of their voices, clapping, waving banners and the empire flags, and cheering as the trucks drove deeper and deeper into the empire. Children threw flowers and stood on their tiptoes, waving excitedly while the adults cheered and shouted praises and gratitude to the soldiers whose lips were spread into wide grins. When the soldiers caught sight of them, the gesture of the people warmed their h

‘Could you have really betrayed me?’ Dario asked Aisha in his mind as he stared down at her, his eyes filled with pain and growing resentment. “What’s wrong,” she asked, a smile still spread across her face and her eyebrows playfully raised. But Dario remained silent. “Are… you good?” she asked again. Now, her smile was beginning to fade as she realized that all along, Dario had actually been silent and had not smiled back even once. She playfully nudged him and asked again, “Did something happen to you during the battle?” But Dario remained silent. Her brows slowly furrowed deeper with each passing silent second. “You’re scaring me, Dario. Is something wrong?”Dario stared at her, his mind racing with several questions. Though he could hear her, he didn’t know what exactly to say first, as he had a hundred questions that needed answers. He also knew he could just read her mind, but the fear of the possibility of what could be there was holding him back. Aisha’s resolve was to
The Emperor’s only Heir Chapter 185
As Dario spoke, he did his best to maintain his composure even if he was hurt deep to the core by Aisha’s memories. Her hands began to visibly shake. ‘What’s going on?’ she said to herself inwardly. ‘Did someone out me?’ “Dario- “ Dario’s eyes shut close when he heard her call him by his name, but he tried to suppress his anger. “Refer to me as Your Majesty, moving forward,” he said through gritted teeth, taking his time to say each word. Aisha couldn't stop her body from trembling as her heart pounded very hard in her chest. She knew for a fact that she was in deep shit right now. “Now, answer me. And do not dare lie to me!” His voice was low and dangerous, and it terrified Aisha more. She would have preferred it if he shouted at her. His calmness made her wish she could get swallowed by the ground that moment. “Did you visit the camp in the Ashton Kingdom last month under the guise of visiting your family?” He asked another question without waiting for her to answe

She looked up and met his gaze. Even if he appeared very furious, she could see the pain and disappointment in his face. She could feel how heartbroken he was. “It all started from when I was brought here for your hand in marriage by my kingdom. They hoped you would pick me and I would become an internal spy for them. It is true that they hold a hidden grudge against the Persian empire for decades…” She wiped away the tears blurring her vision so she could see Dario’s face clearly as she spoke. “I was just unfortunate to have been chosen and I didn’t have a choice but to accept.” She then swallowed hard, knowing Dario wouldn’t believe what she wanted to say next. “I didn’t mind it at first until I met you and fell in love with you,” she said, searching Dario’s eyes for any sign of understanding. “I never wanted to keep hurting you but I didn’t have control over it anymore.” Dario shook his head in disapproval as he stared at her. ‘There’s no way I’m falling for your lies an

TWO YEARS LATER…The walls of Dario’s mansion echoed with the laughter and giggles of his toddlers running around with their tiny feet.The twins were now two years old, and over the past two years, they had filled the mansion with a new kind of joy and life.

He got up and scooped them up,

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
Chapter 200
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
Chapter 197
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

*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
