Chapter 101 — The Night the Empire Trembled
The Night the Empire TrembledBlood stained the silk banners of the imperial hall before the moon even reached its peak. The capital had not slept in days, but tonight, the fear was louder than any storm. Torches flickered like dying stars, casting long shadows across walls built on secrets and betrayal. Su Yu moved through those shadows like a blade seeking its true target, and Linxue followed at his side, her steps silent but every sense burning with tension. The night smelled of iron, smoke, and conspiracy.The Emperor’s command hours earlier was still ringing inside Su Yu’s mind like clashing steel: Strike first, before the coalition turns the entire court against us. There was no time for hesitation. If they lost the palace, they lost the Empire. And yet the true enemies were no longer marching at the borders they walked inside these very walls wearing silk robes and smiles sharpened like knives.Su Yu and Linxue reached the lower courtyard where their hidden unit waited hand-sel
Chapter 102 — Fire in the Veins of the Capital
Fire in the Veins of the CapitalThe capital burned like a wounded dragon thrashing beneath the night sky. Towers collapsed under explosions engineered to shake the Empire to its core. Streets once crowded with merchants and children now crawled with enemy soldiers in black masks the Night Legion cutting down anyone who stood in their path.Su Yu led his forces into the courtyard, where flames reflected on sharpened steel. He pointed his sword, voice a whip of command slicing through the chaos.“Form a wall! Push them back from the inner gates! The palace must not fall!”His elite warriors surged forward, shields locking, boots pounding on the scorched stones. Arrows rained from rooftops traitors who had switched sides the instant the city’s gates fell. But Su Yu’s soldiers raised shields at the perfect moment, deflecting death like a single armored beast.Linxue darted ahead of the formation a white flash in the firelit night. Her blade danced, slicing through masks and flesh alike
Chapter 103 — Ashes Before Dawn
The palace gates lay in ruins.Iron beams twisted like broken ribs. Stone blocks smoldered where the ram had struck, heat still breathing from the fractures. Through the shattered entrance, the Night Legion poured in rows upon rows of masked soldiers, their armor blackened, their movements synchronized, relentless. Their war-cries rose and fell in a brutal rhythm that made the ground tremble.Su Yu did not retreat.He stepped forward into the smoke, sword lifted, blood drying along the fuller of the blade. Around him, his remaining elite closed ranks without a word. They were fewer now far fewer but every one of them understood the truth of this moment.If the enemy broke past them, the throne fell.If the throne fell, the Empire died.Linxue stood at Su Yu’s left, her breathing steady despite the carnage around them. Her clothes were torn, her blade nicked and dark with blood, but her eyes were clear. Sharp. Unafraid.Behind them, palace guards scrambled to reform lines, fear threate
Chapter 104 — The Price of Holding the Line
Firelight bled across the inner halls of the palace, painting the marble floors in wavering shades of red and gold. Su Yu ran through smoke and falling ash, boots pounding stone slick with blood that was not yet cold. The distant roar of battle followed him like a pursuing beast, each clash of steel a reminder of what he had left behind.Linxue.He forced the name down into the iron cage of his discipline. If he let it rise now, if he let doubt slow him even a fraction, then everything she was buying with her life or her pain would be wasted.A pair of Night Legion soldiers burst from a side corridor. Su Yu did not slow. His sword flashed once, twice, clean and efficient, and the bodies fell without him breaking stride. He vaulted a fallen pillar, ducked beneath a collapsing beam, and finally reached the inner sanctum gates.They were open.That alone chilled him.Inside, the throne hall was chaos barely restrained by discipline. Imperial guards formed a defensive ring around the dais
CHAPTER 105 — DAWN IS BOUGHT IN BLOOD
DAWN IS BOUGHT IN BLOODThe capital did not wake to dawn. It woke to the sound of iron screaming against stone.Su Yu stood beneath the fractured arch of the inner palace, rainwater and blood running together at his feet, watching the last barricade hold under the weight of bodies pressing from the other side. Smoke hung low, thick enough to burn the lungs, carrying the copper scent of death and the bitter sting of fire oil. The palace he had sworn to defend no longer looked like a seat of divine authority. It looked like a battlefield clawed open by betrayal.He welcomed that truth.Illusions had no place left in the Empire.A messenger stumbled toward him, armor cracked, helmet missing, eyes glassy with shock. “Regent” The word still sounded wrong, even to Su Yu. “The western corridor is lost. Night Legion remnants regrouped and pushed through the lower stairwell.”Su Yu didn’t turn. His gaze remained fixed on the sealed doors behind him, where the Emperor lay breathing shallowly un
CHAPTER 106 — THE HEIR WHO SHOULD NOT EXIST
The child’s cry cut through the vault like a blade drawn across silk.It was not loud. It was not dramatic. It was thin, raw, human. And that was what made it terrifying.Su Yu stepped forward first, sword raised, body automatically placing itself between the sound and Linxue. The cracked gate groaned as ancient mechanisms failed one by one, stone teeth grinding apart to reveal a chamber that should never have been opened.Cold light spilled out, pale and unnatural, illuminating walls carved with sigils older than the Empire itself. Chains of jade and black iron hung from the ceiling, swaying gently as if disturbed by breath rather than movement.At the center of the chamber stood a cradle.Not gold. Not jeweled.Stone.Rough, utilitarian, built to last centuries.And inside it A child no older than five.Dark hair matted to his forehead, skin pale from years without sun, eyes wide and burning with an intelligence that did not belong to someone so young. He clutched the edge of the c
CHAPTER 107 — WHEN HISTORY BLEEDS BACK
WHEN HISTORY BLEEDS BACKThe child’s smile did not belong in the vault.It was wrong in the way silence is wrong after a scream too complete, too knowing, as if the world itself had paused to watch what he would do next. The pale light from the sigils reflected in his eyes, not like fire, but like memory. Ancient. Waiting.Su Yu stood frozen, sword still raised, every instinct screaming that this was the moment everything broke. His body knew battle. His mind knew strategy. But this this recognition humming through his bones was something else entirely. It was not command. It was not fear. It was a pull, quiet and irresistible, like gravity remembering its source.The Iron Tribunal leader was the first to recover.He straightened slowly, folding his hands behind his back as though this were a court audience rather than the birthplace of a war. His expression smoothed into calm, but something had cracked beneath it, something subtle and dangerous.“So,” he said softly, “the rumors were

CHAPTER 109 — THE WEIGHT OF A LIVING CROWN
The child slept as though the world had not tried to tear itself apart for him.Su Yu carried him through the lower arteries of the palace, stone corridors known only to emperors, executioners, and secrets that had outlived both. The boy’s breathing was soft, even, his small body warm against Su Yu’s chest, trusting in a way that felt undeserved. Every instinct in Su Yu screamed that this was wrong that something so fragile should not be allowed to decide the fate of millions.Yet the pull remained.Not a command. Not a burden.A bond.Behind him, Linxue followed in silence. Her steps were light, controlled, despite the blood soaking through her bandages. She ignored the pain the way she always did by turning it into awareness. Her eyes never stopped moving, never stopped measuring shadows and angles, even here, deep within the heart of imperial stone.The guards escorting them were tense, rigid. None dared speak. They had seen too much in too little time ancient symbols burning, Trib
CHAPTER 110 — WHEN BELLS BECOME BLADES
The bells did not stop.They rolled through the capital like slow thunder, each toll carving deeper into the city’s spine. Death bells were meant to signal endings, but everyone listening felt it instinctively this was not an ending.It was a summons.Su Yu stood at the chamber’s threshold, the child still sleeping against his chest, and listened as the Empire began to fracture in real time. Shouts echoed from distant courtyards. Boots pounded stone. Orders contradicted one another as ministers panicked and commanders moved without waiting for approval.Succession without clarity was bloodshed waiting to happen.Linxue adjusted her stance beside him, one hand resting casually near her blade, the other pressed against her ribs. Her face was calm, but Su Yu knew her well enough to hear the calculation behind her silence.“They’re already choosing sides,” she said quietly.“Yes,” Su Yu replied. “And some of them chose long ago.”Behind them, the Emperor’s breathing had grown shallower.
