Chapter 235
The dimly lit backroom of the Golden estate was thick with tension as Sterling Golden and Maximilian, his newly-minted ally, discussed their plot to overthrow Samuel's rule.Sterling reclined in his seat, a wicked grin appearing on his face. “Max, are you saying you're ready to go to any lengths to overthrow your stepbrother and take your rightful position in the family?”Max nodded, his eyes shining with an intense hunger. "Definitely, Uncle. For too many years, Samuel has refused to give me my rightful portion of the family's riches and power. It's about time I claimed what belongs to me."Sterling chuckled, the noise was quiet and full of threat. "That is precisely what I was hoping to hear. With your inside information and my assets combined, we will be unbeatable.”"What is the strategy now?” Max, leaning forward eagerly, inquired. “What is our plan for achieving this successfully?"Sterling squinted as he pondered the choices before him. “Initially, we must tarnish Samuel's repu

The Golden estate buzzed with an air of anticipation for The red moon ball, an annual ball that celebrates the founding of the Golden family organization. Maximilian, the long-absent stepbrother of Samuel, Jill, and Jin, arrived to pay his respects to the new don.Samuel stood at the head of the grand foyer, his expression guarded as Max sauntered through the ornate double doors, a self-assured grin plastered across his face. As is tradition every member of the family must pay tribute to the new don.“Well here he comes, oooh brother, do we have to entertain this fool?” said Jin with a disgusted look on his face.Jill smacks Jin on his shoulder signaling him not to raise his voice “don’t be mean Jin despite his disposition he is still our brother”.“Half brother you mean,” said Samuel as he cuts in on his siblings conversation. “He is a no good half-blood if I had ever seen one.” he continues with an apple in his hand and as he sits on the Don’s chair “you have always been too nice an

"Trade reform?" Farid asked, looking confused. "What's wrong with our trade system?""It's corrupt," Damon said. "The wealthy merchants are exploiting the smaller traders, and the tariffs are crippling our economy. We need to create a fair and equitable system that benefits everyone, not just a select few.""That sounds like a lot of work," Aria said."It is," Damon said. "But it's important. We need to build a Tarkington where everyone has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their background.""So, what about the riches?" Farid asked. "You're not going to take any of the royal treasures?"Damon shook his head. "I don't need them. I have everything I need right here," he said, gesturing to Aria and Farid. "Besides, the money is better spent on helping those who need it most."News of Damon’s decision spread quickly throughout the city. People were amazed by his humility and his dedication to the common good. Soon, a new nickname began to circulate: "Prince of the People."That ni

"Thank you," he whispered, his voice choked with emotion. "Thank you, Damon."Damon squeezed his father's hand, his heart aching with a mixture of sadness and relief. He had finally said what needed to be said. He had finally forgiven the man who had caused him so much pain.He stood up, releasing Tarkon's hand. "Rest now, Father," he said. "You've earned it."He turned and walked towards the door, pausing with his hand on the latch. He looked back at Tarkon, who was still sitting on the bed, his eyes closed, tears streaming down his face."Goodbye, Father," Damon said softly.He opened the door and stepped out, leaving Tarkon alone with his thoughts. The guards closed the door behind him, the sound echoing in the silence.Damon walked back through the prison, his steps lighter this time. He felt a sense of peace he hadn't felt in years. He had faced his father, he had spoken his truth, and he had offered forgiveness. He had done all he could.He emerged from the prison into the cool

The air in the prison was thick with the smell of mildew and despair. Torches flickered weakly, casting long, dancing shadows on the damp stone walls. Damon walked slowly, his boots echoing in the oppressive silence. Each step brought him closer to the man who was once the most powerful person in Tarkington, and also the man who had shaped, and nearly broken, his life.He stopped before a heavy iron door. Two guards stood rigidly on either side, their faces grim. They recognized him instantly."He's expecting you, Prince Damon," one of them said, his voice low and respectful. The title felt foreign now, a relic of a past that was quickly fading.Damon nodded, and the guards unlocked the door, the grating sound echoing harshly in the confined space. He stepped inside.The cell was small and sparsely furnished. A rough-hewn wooden bed, a small table, and a bucket in the corner. That was all. And in the center of it all, sitting on the edge of the bed, was Tarkon.He looked smaller than

Father Tomas hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly. He approached Valerius and held the crown aloft. "Lord Valerius," he said, "will you accept the crown and serve as the king of Tarkington?"Valerius looked at Damon, his eyes filled with gratitude. He took a deep breath and turned to the crowd. "People of Tarkington," he said, his voice filled with emotion. "I am humbled by your trust. And I am honored to accept the crown. I promise to serve you with all my heart and all my strength. I promise to be a king for all of you."He knelt before Father Tomas, and the priest placed the Crown of Tarkington upon his head. A collective cheer erupted from the crowd. The people of Tarkington had a new king.Valerius rose to his feet, his face beaming with joy. He turned to Damon and embraced him warmly. "Thank you, Damon," he said, his voice filled with gratitude. "You have given me the greatest gift of my life.""You deserve it, Valerius," Damon said. "You are the best of us."Valerius step
