Chapter 93

• DAMON
• It had been three days since the meeting with Enid and Lord Fallon. Just as he had threatened, Lord Fallon had succeeded in rallying the lords of the court together by telling them what I had said. My mother was frightened to her very last bone, but not me. They were my elders, and the wise ones of my court, but I was their king. My father’s blood flowed through my veins, and all his father’s before him. Royalty had been in my family for as long as Adonis had existed, and the goddess herself had approved of my descent into the throne. None of them would be able to take it from me, not in this life or the next, and that was my consolation.
• So, I busied myself with work as usual. Overseeing the affairs of Adonis, and the businesses stretched across different areas of the human realm wasn’t easy at all, but it was necessary. Adonis had gotten ten times richer and more feared under my rule as king, and I had no doubt my offspring would do better than I ever did. The sky was sure to be their starting point.
