Chapter sixth -: "The Heir Returns"

(The private jet descended through dusky clouds, painting the sky in bruised hues of lavender and gold. Below, the city of Lyrex glowed like a forgotten gem — polished on the surface, cracked at the core).

(Nathaniel adjusted the silver cufflink on his wrist, one engraved with the initial N — a gift from his mother on his 18th birthday. He smiled faintly, unaware that this small piece of memory was the only thing left of her world).

Nine years.

(Nine years away, studying business in Velmore, building a company from scratch when he could've just inherited one. He never understood why his parents refused his calls, only wrote short letters. But he never blamed them — they had always said,)

{"Come back only when you've made something of your own. We want you to return proud."}

(And so he did).

(Now he was returning — not as a boy, but as a man with power, with a vision, with a name that echoed across boardrooms).

"We'll be landing in Lyrex in five minutes, Mr. Grayson," [the attendant said].

(Nathaniel gave her a polite nod, then turned to the window, his voice a soft whisper to himself):

"Wait till you see me, Mom… Dad. You'll finally be proud."

But Lyrex didn't blink.

(It just waited — silently — like a city that knew it had nothing left to offer him).

Not a home.

Not warmth.

Not even the empire he still thought belonged to his family.
