Chapter 666
Chapter 666 The convoy from the Scott mansion moved swiftly through Malta City, its engines cutting through the heavy silence that lingered inside each vehicle, the usual elegance of the streets passing by unnoticed as grief dulled every senseNo one spoke muchEven the city itself seemed quieterAs if the news had reached even its stonesInside the lead car, Madam Elizabeth Scott sat upright, her posture firm as always, yet her hands rested tighter than usual on her cane, her gaze fixed ahead though her mind was far awayThe television broadcast still echoed in her thoughtsThose wordsColdFinalThen Her phone rangShe glanced downHer expression shifted slightlySerenaWithout hesitation, she answered“Serena…”Her voice softened immediately, the sharp authority she carried replaced with warmthOn the other end, there was silence for a momentThen a quiet breath“Grandmother…”The single word carried exhaustionGriefWeightMadam Elizabeth closed her eyes briefly“…I heard

Chapter 665 The news did not arrive quietlyIt did not spread slowlyIt eruptedFrom the palace to the streets, from official channels to whispered rumors, from screens to voices carried by shock and disbelief, a single message swept through the entire Victorium Empire with overwhelming forceThe Emperor was deadAt first, many refused to believe it“How can that be real?!”“That must be false news!”“Who would dare spread such nonsense?!”In marketplaces, people gathered in clusters, voices rising in argument as merchants abandoned their stalls, customers forgot their purchases, and conversations turned heated“I saw it myself on the broadcast!”“Then the broadcast is wrong!”“There is no way His Majesty would fall!”Some grew furious“You dare repeat such nonsense?!”Fists clenchedArguments escalatedA few even came to blows, driven by anger at the mere suggestion that the man who had elevated their empire to its current height could be goneOthers stood apartSilentPaleTheir

Chapter 664 The return to the Imperial Palace did not end with celebration, it settled instead into order, into quiet movement, into a rhythm that felt almost too calm after everything that had happenedThe Crimson Victorium force dispersed first, their discipline unchanged even under grief, each member peeling away from the main grounds and returning to their assigned quarters within the vast structure of the palace, their armor still carrying the marks of travel, their expressions subdued, their conversations minimalThey did not need to speakEach of them carried the same weightThe guards and attendants who had come from the other continent were received next, ushered into the palace complex with efficiency and respect, assigned temporary duties, given accommodations, their presence acknowledged not as outsiders but as those who had walked alongside the Empire’s Emperor in his final daysServants moved through corridors and open halls with renewed urgency, quietly reorganiz

Chapter 663 “We are finally back again…” Christene’s voice was soft, almost reflective, as she leaned slightly toward the window of the moving vehicle, her eyes scanning the familiar sights of the Imperial Capital, taking in the wide roads, the orderly districts, and the towering structures that stretched proudly into the sky.There was something different about seeing it nowNot because the city had changedBut because they hadSerena sat beside her in silenceHer gaze also turned outward, watching the capital pass by, her expression calm, composed, yet beneath that calm lay something deeper, something quiet and heavyHomeThe word surfaced in her mind without effortThis place, with all its order, its structure, its people it was no longer just a destinationIt was homeBehind them, in the other vehicles of the convoy, the same feeling spreadThe Crimson Victorium force, the attendants, the guards each of them felt it in their own wayThe subtle relief of returning to familiar gr

Chapter 662 In the grand hall of the Imperial Palace, silence spread like a shadow that refused to liftThe servants who had moments ago rushed about with urgency now stood frozen where they were, trays suspended mid-air, scrolls half-unrolled, footsteps halted as if the very ground beneath them had stolen their will to moveAt the center of it all stood John VictoriumOr rather What remained of his composure“…unfair…”The word slipped from his lips, barely audible, his voice no longer carrying authority but something fragile, something worn“…this is… unfair…”He shook his head slowly, his gaze unfocused, staring not at the room, not at the servants, but somewhere far beyond, somewhere only he could see“This… should not happen to him…”His hand lifted slightly, trembling, as though reaching for something invisible“My son… not him…”His voice grew uneven, breaking at the edges as he continued speaking, not to anyone in particular, but to himself, to the emptiness that had sudd

Chapter 661 At the port, as Serena’s calm voice gave the command, the kneeling officers rose in perfect unison, their armor shifting with a faint metallic rhythm as discipline restored their upright stance, their gazes lowered in respect yet unable to completely hide the flicker of confusion forming beneath their composureBecause something was missingSomething they all felt but dared not speakWhere was the EmperorThe thought passed quietly among them, unspoken yet shared, as eyes subtly moved, searching behind Serena, scanning the ship, the entourage, the figures descending one after another, hoping to catch sight of the man whose presence had defined their strength, whose return they had anticipated with prideBut he was not thereA few exchanged brief glancesQuestions lingeredShouldn’t it have been him giving the commandShouldn’t his voice have been the one to greet themYet no one dared askNo one dared break formationBecause the return of the Empress alone was enough to
