Chapter 141
Chief Elder Malcolm Vance remained on his knees upon the cold marble stones of Cloud Peak Villa, his tears wetting the yellow silk of the scroll. The eighty-year-old elder trembled before Dustin, clutching the golden cylinder against his chest as if his very life depended on it. Around the courtyard, the twenty motorcycle outriders kept their heads bowed in deep, fearful silence."Supreme Sovereign Prince Dustin, please listen to the cries of your dying clan!" Malcolm Vance wailed, his voice cracking with theatrical sorrow. "The great Imperial Sovereign Vance Trust is standing on the edge of a bottomless cliff, and only your royal hands can pull us back!" he sobbed openly.Dustin stood tall at the bottom of the terrace steps, his father's white coat resting neatly over his shoulders. His dark eyes remained calm, cold, and still as a frozen mountain lake, showing no pity for the weeping elder. Beside him, Seraphina held her head high, her silver eyes watching the old man with razor-sha

The warm morning sun climbed slowly over the high mountains, bathing the city in bright golden light. Dustin stood out on the wide marble terrace of Cloud Peak Villa, looking down at the awakening streets below. His father’s clean white coat moved softly in the clean morning breeze, shining brightly under the rising sun.Inside his heart, the heavy secrets from the study had settled into an unshakeable, peaceful calm. He was no longer just the young doctor who saved sick children in a small city clinic. The blood in his veins belonged to the greatest imperial line in the land, carrying the power of a true sovereign."You have been standing out here since the sky was gray, Dustin," a sweet, melodic voice whispered from behind. Seraphina walked out onto the sunlit terrace, wearing a long silk robe that tied loosely around her waist. Her bare feet made no sound against the warm marble floor as she stepped up to his side.She reached out with her slender arms, gently wrapping them around

Dustin held the tiny silver capsule between his fingertips under the warm yellow desk lamp. The soft click from the white jade bird still echoed quietly in the peaceful study room. He turned his head toward the open doorway as soft footsteps approached across the wooden floor.Seraphina walked into the study wearing her silk robe, her silver eyes drawn to the shiny metal in his hand. She stepped beside his chair, placing her soft hand gently upon his tense shoulder. "What did you find inside the family jade stone, Dustin?" she asked in a tender whisper."There was a hidden latch beneath the bird's tail that had stayed sealed for thirty years," Dustin answered softly. He carefully unscrewed the tiny silver cap, pulling out a thin strip of black micro-film. "My father hid this film inside the jade, and only someone with internal energy could open it," he explained.Dustin walked over to the optical scanner on the desk, slipping the delicate black film beneath the glass lens. He pressed

The heavy ballroom doors shut tight as the police dragged Edward Cross into the rainy night. Honest hotel workers rushed into the room, quickly wiping the tables and replacing all the glasses. Fresh, sweet sparkling grape juice was poured into new crystal cups for every single guest.Governor Vance stood near the center stage, raising his clean glass with a bright smile. "To the true protector of our city and his beautiful bride!" the governor announced loudly. Eight hundred happy voices cheered together, their glasses clinking in a joyful wave of sound.Dustin and Seraphina raised their glasses, drinking the sweet fruit juice with warm smiles. "May our people always be safe, healthy, and free from wicked men," Dustin said softly. Seraphina looked into his clear eyes and whispered, "Every home in our city is safe tonight."The loud cheers settled into a warm hush as the soft violin music began to play again. At the bottom of the stage steps, a gentle woman in a pale gray silk dress st

Dustin lowered the golden crystal glass slowly, his dark eyes burning with freezing anger. He reached out with his left hand, gently taking the flute away from Seraphina's lips before she could take a single sip. Seraphina blinked in surprise, looking at his cold face and knowing in an instant that something was terribly wrong.Dustin raised his right hand high into the air, stepping directly in front of the center golden microphone. "Put down your glasses right now, every single one of you!" Dustin’s deep voice boomed through the speakers, echoing off the high ceiling. The eight hundred guests froze in their tracks, lowering their lifted drinks in total shock and confusion."Dustin, what is happening to our celebration?" Governor Vance asked in alarm, lowering his own glass from his mouth. Several wealthy bankers and foreign diplomats looked around the grand room with wide, frightened eyes. The happy violin music stopped completely as the entire ballroom fell into a dead, suffocating

The dark night of secret plots gave way to bright morning sunshine across the Capital. Weeks passed quickly as the city prepared for the biggest and most joyful day of the year. Outside the grand Capital Hyatt hotel, long lines of black cars pulled up under a sea of bright golden lights.Inside the giant ballroom, tall glass chandeliers hung from the ceiling like shiny drops of clear water. The wide room was filled with eight thousand fresh white roses that made the warm air smell sweet and clean. Soft violin music played from the stage as eight hundred famous guests gathered in their finest clothes to celebrate.City leaders, rich merchants, and honest doctors stood together in big circles with happy smiles on their faces. They had all come to honor the young doctor who had saved the city from poison and false medicine. Every table was covered in white silk cloth, shiny silver plates, and tall crystal glasses.At the top of the grand marble staircase, the heavy golden doors opened wi
