The Gulfstream jet flew through the pitch-black night sky, its lights completely turned off.Inside the cabin, the atmosphere was tense."We are approaching Montbert airspace in five minutes," the pilot’s voice crackled over the intercom. "Mr. Sterling, if we cross the border without clearance, their air defense system might lock onto us. We could be shot down."Jackson sat in the command chair, looking at the glowing map on the screen. He turned to the little boy sitting next to him, who was buried under three laptops."Alex," Jackson said calmly. "Are we ready?"Alex adjusted his oversized headphones. His small face was illuminated by streams of green code. He didn't look like a child; he looked like a soldier at war."I need thirty seconds," Alex typed furiously. "Grand Duke Stefan upgraded his radar system last year. It’s tricky. But... not impossible."Serenity gripped the armrest. Her knuckles were white. Mia was asleep in the back bedroom, blissfully unaware that they were abou

The gates of the Royal Palace were besieged by a sea of people. Thousands of citizens were shouting: "Justice! Justice!"Inside the gates, the Royal Army stood in formation, guns pointed at the crowd.In the Command Tower, Grand Duke Stefan screamed into his radio."Open fire! I gave you a direct order, General! Shoot the traitors!"The General stood silent, watching the angry mob outside. His hand hovered over the 'Fire' button.Suddenly, a convoy of black armored SUVs tore through the crowd, parting the sea of people like a black arrow. They stopped right in front of the locked palace gates.Jackson Sterling stepped out first. He adjusted his suit jacket, then offered his hand to Serenity.Serenity stepped out. The crowd gasped and fell silent.She wasn't hiding anymore. She stood tall, facing the rows of guns pointing at her."My people!" Serenity’s voice was amplified by a megaphone. "Do not attack! These soldiers are your brothers and sons!"She walked towards the iron gate alone

The first morning of Serenity's reign did not start with breakfast in bed. It started with a headache."Your Highness," the Head Maid knocked on the gilded door at 6 AM. "The Royal Council is waiting. You are late."Serenity sat up in the massive royal bed. The silk sheets felt cold. Next to her, Jackson groaned, pulling the pillow over his head."Tell them to wait," Jackson mumbled. "Or fire them.""I can't fire the Council, Jackson. They run the country," Serenity sighed, getting out of bed.She walked to the mirror. The maid helped her into a stiff, formal navy-blue dress. It buttoned up to her chin. It felt suffocating. Like armor."Do I look like a Grand Duchess?" Serenity asked."You look tense," Jackson walked up behind her, buttoning his cufflinks. He was dressed in a sharp black suit. "Just remember, you own the throne. They are just employees."The Council Chamber was a cavernous room filled with oil paintings of dead ancestors. Around the long oak table sat twelve old men.

The bells of Saint Pierre Cathedral rang across the entire city of Montbert.It was a day that would go down in history. The return of the House of Aurelia.Inside the ancient cathedral, thousands of roses decorated the stone pillars. Royalty from all over Europe, business tycoons, and cameras from every major news network filled the pews.At the altar, Jackson stood waiting. He wasn't wearing a business suit today. He wore a ceremonial military uniform with a golden sash—the official attire of the Prince Consort. He looked breathtakingly regal, like a warrior protecting his realm.The heavy oak doors opened.Organ music swelled.Serenity walked down the aisle alone. She wore a royal mantle made of deep red velvet and ermine fur. It dragged five meters behind her, carried by two pages.She held her head high. No longer the scared girl who fled New York. No longer the tired single mom.She was Aurelia. The Grand Duchess.She reached the altar. Jackson offered his hand, and she took it.

Jackson stood in the corner of the Royal Library, facing a bookshelf filled with ancient dusty leather books.According to the map he interrogated from Stefan, the entrance was here.He reached out and pulled a specific black book titled 'History of the Abyss'.Click.A hidden mechanism triggered. The entire bookshelf swung open silently, revealing a cold, dark stone staircase spiraling down into the earth. The air that rushed out smelled stale and metallic.Jackson drew his gun and turned on his flashlight."You weren't planning on going down there alone, were you?"A soft but firm voice echoed from the shadows.Jackson flinched. He spun around.Serenity was standing there, wearing a silk robe, arms crossed. She didn't look happy."Serenity," Jackson sighed, lowering his gun. "I told you to sleep.""And I told you that 'partners' means we share everything. Including danger," Serenity walked towards him, looking at the dark tunnel. "If you go down, I go down.""It's not safe," Jackson
