Chapter: Chapter 220: The Mask of LoyaltyThe Romanov empire gleamed under the afternoon sun, but inside the towering walls of the council chambers, a storm brewed—silent, invisible, yet capable of toppling empires. Zain stood by the colossal window, staring at the city he had conquered, his reflection fragmented by the sunlight. The hunters’ alliance proposal now rested in the hands of his advisors, accepted under his name, yet every fiber of his being recoiled at the thought of submission.No one knew what he was truly planning. To the council, he had played the perfect puppet, smiling while signing the documents, nodding as if in gratitude toward the hunters, and feigning the humility of a ruler who had bent for the greater good. But inside, Zain’s mind spun webs darker than any before."They think I am cornered," he muttered to himself. "They think I will kneel. They think I fear their hunters. They know nothing."Across the room, his advisors whispered among themselves, noting Zain’s controlled demeanor. The empire seem

Chapter: Chapter 219: The Choice of a TyrantThe Romanov empire had once been a fortress of stability, admired by allies and feared by enemies. But under Zain’s reign, it had turned into a fragile kingdom of smoke and mirrors, held together only by fear and intimidation. His subjects bowed deeply, but their eyes were empty—pretending loyalty only to preserve their lives. His power stood on a trembling pillar, and now the hunters’ proposal threatened to collapse it entirely.The letter from the hunters sat on Zain’s mahogany desk, its seal unbroken no longer. He had read the words a dozen times, each sentence more suffocating than the last:"Seventy percent of the Romanov empire’s shares to be invested into the Hunters’ Village, and our warriors will serve as your chief security."It was a calculated move, a trap disguised as an alliance. Zain knew it, yet he also knew the depth of his desperation. Investors were already fleeing. The moment whispers spread that the hunters demanded such a price, Romanov allies—once loyal—began

Chapter: Chapter 218:The Crossroads of PowerZain Romanov sat in his private study, the tall curtains half-drawn, casting the entire room into an uneasy twilight. The silence was heavy, suffocating even, broken only by the ticking of the antique grandfather clock in the corner. On the desk before him lay the letter from the Hunters Village — sealed in deep crimson wax with their ancestral crest. He had read it at least ten times already, but each time the words struck like a blade against his pride.Seventy percent of Romanov Holdings.The Hunters as chief security.Alliance on their terms.Zain’s hand tightened around his wine glass, veins bulging across his wrist. To agree to such terms would mean handing over the very lifeblood of his empire to strangers — or so he thought. What he did not know was that the “strangers” were no strangers at all. Aiden Romanov, the heir he had long thought buried beneath ruin and betrayal, was alive, and his hand was behind the ink that wrote those demands.Yet, Zain was trapped. Investors had

Chapter: Chapter 217 – The Web of AlliancesZain Romanov sat behind the long obsidian table, fingers drumming impatiently as he studied the latest financial charts displayed across the holographic screen. His empire had grown ruthless, a towering shadow stretching across nations, but he knew it was brittle beneath its glittering exterior. Fear kept his subjects in line, but fear also bred betrayal. He needed something more solid, an alliance that would cement his dominance beyond dispute.The hunters’ village—small, wealthy, and secretive—seemed perfect. Their resources were underestimated by most, their independence resented by many, and their warriors feared by all. If Zain could secure their allegiance, his grip over the Romanov legacy would be complete.So, he drafted the alliance proposal, sealed it with his insignia, and sent it through his trusted channels. He had no idea that the letter would eventually fall into the hands of the very man he had betrayed—the man he thought was dead—Aiden Romanov.Far from the golden to

Chapter: Chapter 216:The Forging of a StormThe village of the Hunters was alive with a rare tranquility that Aiden had almost forgotten existed. The laughter of Zia mingled with the cries of the newborn, echoing softly through the humble chambers of the house the Hunters had offered them. Silvana sat by the window, her arms gently rocking the baby as she hummed a lullaby, while Zia sprawled across the floor, drawing yet another portrait of her father—her eyes sparkling with innocence, her hand sketching with unrelenting devotion. But Aiden Romanov could not remain still. His heart beat with a rhythm of unfinished battles. Though his family had been accepted with open arms, though the Hunters had celebrated their arrival as a sign of destiny, the shadow of Zain loomed in his mind like an unmovable storm cloud. He could not allow his children to grow under the tyranny of a usurper. He could not allow Silvana’s sacrifices to be in vain. The Romanov empire was still his birthright. So, beneath the cover of darkness, when th

Chapter: Chapter 215: The Return of the HeirThe morning sun rose over the hunters’ village with a golden brilliance, the kind that heralded destiny more than it did a mere day. Aiden Romanov, no longer a man lost in the fog of fractured memory, stood at the threshold of a decision that carried both promise and peril. For years, the hunters had sheltered him, clothed him in anonymity, and trained him with discipline that sharpened his will even in his darkest hours. Now, he was returning not as Jonas—the stranger they once knew—but as Aiden Romanov, son of legacy, father of promise, and bearer of justice long delayed.Silvana stood beside him, her grace untouched by the storms she had endured. In her arms, she cradled their newborn son, whose tiny breaths seemed to carry the weight of generations. Zia clutched Aiden’s hand with childlike excitement, her voice bubbling with endless questions.“Daddy, will they like us? Will the hunters let us stay forever? Will they dance too?” Her eyes gleamed with anticipation.Aiden bent to h
