Heirs of the Rifted Throne
Writer :Sabbir Ahmed
The masked woman steps from the rift, her aura so similar to Aren's that Lyra, Seraphine, and Mira instinctively draw back. Aren's heart pounds—not from fear, but recognition. The Sovereign System confirms it with a chilling tone:
[Bloodline Match: 87%]
[Identity: Arcelia Valenhart — Lost Princess • Riftborne Heir]
Arcelia removes her mask, revealing silver eyes like Aren's—only colder, hardened by worlds far crueler than his own. She explains what the System refused to: the Shattered Crown was once wielded by a ruler who governed countless realms. Upon his death, the crown fractured, choosing multiple heirs across dimensions.
Arcelia claims she has already conquered two worlds. Aren, in her eyes, is merely a "gentler candidate"—one who should step aside.
But the Sovereign System reacts violently to her presence.
[Warning: Rival Heir Detected]
[New Function Unlocked: Sovereign Duel Protocol]
[Victory grants: Dominion over a Fragmented Realm]
Aren refuses the duel, seeking answers instead. Yet the world itself rejects hesitation: riftstorms erupt around the Skyward Monastery, threatening to collapse the entire region.
Forced to cooperate, Arcelia and Aren combine their powers to seal the rifts, but the price is steep—each time their energies merge, a portion of the Shattered Crown reforms, pulling them both toward inevitable conflict.
Meanwhile, Lyra senses a strange corruption in the rifts, Seraphine confronts Arcelia's ruthless methods, and Mira alone notices a shadowy figure tracking them…
A figure wearing a third fragment of the Crown.
The true war of heirs has begun.
