There were eight dukes in Prussia, each ruling a vast territory, each holding power like a king.

Duke Eisenwall was one of them — and he stood firmly with the Technocratic Faction, the new movement that worshipped progress. They believed AI should lead humanity forward, no questions asked.

Opposing them was the Order of Nature, the conservative faction that clung to the old path — humans must follow the law of nature, not machines.

And then there was the Neutral Circle, a third power formed by natural-born dukes and their nobles. They walked a razor-thin line between the two giants, shifting their stance every time the wind changed.

Sofina’s breath tightened the moment she saw Ragnar Eisenwall.

A ghost from her past.

The man she once thought was the brightest star in their youth — the alpha, the golden boy, the one everyone chased.

But he had been her greatest mistake.

Her deepest wound.

The first person who taught her what it felt like to be “unworthy.”

    Sybilla froze the moment whispers swept through the Celestial Garden.The guests weren’t even trying to hide it anymore—every glance, every murmur, every stifled laugh was aimed at her and Ragnar.She snapped.“Shut up! Shut up! It’s all bullshit!” she shrieked, her voice cracking with panic.Then the giant screen lit up.A video flickered onto the screen—grainy, brutal, and unforgiving.Not just one clip. Not just one photo.Dozens of images flashed in sequence.Sybilla tangled with a man in a hotel room.Then another.And another.A whole gallery of her hidden life—laid bare for everyone to see.The entire garden fell into stunned silence.Eve’s voice—smooth, bright, cruel—flooded the air.“Wow, this one is incredible. And there are more. Several times, Sybilla checked into a hotel with three to five men at once. Was that a sixth-some? It seems you learned plenty from your past experiences and shared the sex lessons with Ragnar, the Duke’s son.”“So tell me, Ragnar… how does it feel

    Alex’s head throbbed the moment the final report came in.His own governors had already drafted a full war plan against Prussia — timelines, strategies, objectives. They wanted the entire operation launched within a year.Then Samuel and Keaton appeared on the holo-channel, their faces tight with urgency.“Your Majesty,” Samuel said. “As you can see, the governors are planning a war with Prussia. The vote is at one hundred percent approval.”Alex stared at the three men, frustration burning behind his eyes.“Can you stop them? We don’t need another war.”Keaton shook his head slowly. “I might be able to stop my daughter. Maybe. But the rest? No. They’re moving on their own mandate.”Samuel added, “I can vote against it, but that’s only ten percent against ninety. The war will still go through.”Logan leaned forward, arms crossed. “You know where I stand. As a governor, I want this war. I want to return to my hometown — and this is the only way.”Alex sighed. He was the king, yes — but

    Josephine faced the reporters with steady, professional calm.“War means killing,” she said clearly. “We should not initiate another conflict without legitimate cause. The funds allocated for weapons should be used to feed the poor and advance technology for public welfare.”“See?” Lyra muttered. “She’s basically an angel. And I heard she still cries in secret sometimes. People say she still feels guilty about Alex’s death. She visits his tomb almost every month.”Lyra took a sip of her drink, lowering her voice. “Writing poetry, too. Stuff like—‘To be alive, and to know you are gone—This is the greatest torment.’You know that went viral?”“That damn man,” Sophia muttered. “Even dead, he still leaves people heartbroken.”“Oh damn Alex,” Lyra started again, wiping her eyes. “I seek you in the heavens, I seek you in the earth below; But nowhere in this vast world can your shadow be found.”Sophia sighed. “Your death has bound my life in frost,Yet still I call your name.”Then, as i

    Estoria, a few days ago.Sophia Lancaster — or Sophia Montclair— sat at a lavish dinner table across from a handsome man. His suit was spotless, his watch glittered under the warm lights, and every move he made screamed one thing:He was trying too hard to impress her with money.Sophia felt nothing. Not even a spark.When she used to struggle for money, men like him seemed fascinating — polished, wealthy, a target.But now that she had power, status, and more money than she ever imagined, she realized how hollow it all was. Everything felt staged. Everything felt fake.Only one thing ever felt real.Alex’s smile.There was honesty in it. Warmth. A softness that reached his eyes. Even when he had nothing, he still gave her everything he could.Care. Kindness. A love so sincere it frightened her.‘The towers chant my name, yet none hear the ache beneath it.The crowds applaud, yet my heart remains a solitary moon.Only he once understood my soul…and now he drifts beyond my reach.’And

    Alex yawned, both hands raised in a lazy stretch, completely unfazed by the disaster unfolding at the table.Beatrix and the others sat frozen, faces drained of color.“I think I’ve had enough drama for today,” Alex said, voice flat, bored, done.He turned to Renata. “Hey. you’ve eaten. Why don’t we get out of here? This place is a circus.”His calm tone snapped Renata out of her shock. She blinked, looked at him, then glanced nervously toward Gerhard, Beatrix, Conrad, and Annabella—each of them in a humiliated, miserable state.“What about them?” she asked quietly, concern still gripping her voice.Alex shrugged, cool and unbothered.“Let them clean up their own mess. They can call Mommy, Daddy, or Grandmother to bail them out and pay for whatever disaster they created.”He tilted his head slightly. “We’re useless here except as the awkward third wheel. Unless you plan to pay for them—which you can’t—there’s nothing you can do.”Renata, still dazed, fell into step beside Alex Saint-C
