Ryker had grown into a young man who was every bit the Crown Prince the empire needed—firm, calculating, and impossibly charismatic. From the very beginning, he had shown the makings of a ruler, one who commanded respect and admiration in equal measure.
Like his father, Erudian, Ryker exuded an air of quiet confidence that made people instinctively listen when he spoke. His calm demeanor masked a sharp, analytical mind and a ruthlessness that surfaced when needed. But he had also inherited his mother, Vianne’s fiery spirit and unyielding determination, making him a formidable force in both the council chamber and the battlefield.
Ryker’s reputation preceded him. To those who approached him with honesty and goodwill, he was compassionate and understanding, willing to go to great lengths to ensure fairness and justice. His people adored him for this, seeing him as the perfect blend of his parents’ strengths
But to those who dared cross him, or worse, harm the empire or its people, he was a nightmare. He had little tolerance for deceit or cruelty, and his punishments were swift and severe. His enemies whispered that his wrath was as fiery as the Empress’s temper, and his strategies as calculated and lethal as the Emperor’s.
One day, during a session in the imperial court, Ryker’s unique nature was on full display.
A merchant accused of exploiting impoverished workers stood trembling before the throne. Vianne and Erudian sat side by side, observing silently, their expressions unreadable. Ryker stood before the throne, addressing the court with the poise of a seasoned ruler.
