Chapter 10 - Chapter 10. king's greed.

King Arin's desire for power and control consumed him. He became increasingly ruthless, ordering the deaths of anyone who stood in his way. Lyrien's family, tasked with safeguarding the Crown of Light's secrets, had been hunted down and murdered by the king's men.

The king's motivation was not just about ruling the kingdom but also about harnessing the Crown of Light's power for his own gain. He believed that with the crown's magic, he could conquer neighboring kingdoms and expand his dominion.

Aria, Lyrien's sister, was the last living heir of the ancient bloodline. The king's men had thought they'd killed her, but she'd been hidden away, protected by loyal allies.

As Eira, Lyrien, Kael, and Aria prepared to confront the king, they uncovered dark secrets about his past. The king's rise to power was built on deceit, murder, and manipulation. His own family members had been killed or exiled, and he'd stopped at nothing to claim the throne.

Lord Ravenswood, still manipulating the king, fueled his greed and paranoia. The advisor's true intentions remained unclear, but his loyalty was clearly to himself.

The stage was set for a final confrontation. Eira, Lyrien, Kael, and Aria would face the king and Lord Ravenswood in a battle of wits, magic, and loyalty. The fate of the kingdom and the Crown of Light hung in the balance.

As they approached the palace, the air grew thick with tension. The king's men patrolled the grounds, and the sound of clashing steel echoed in the distance. Eira and Lyrien shared a determined glance, ready to face whatever lay ahead.

But just as they were about to enter the palace, Aria hesitated. "There's something I need to tell you," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "Something about our family's past, and the Crown of Light's true power."
