Arelion’s capital hummed with nocturnal tension, the air thick around your mansion. Security tightened; lights flared. Your father, uncharacteristically anxious, checked his watch repeatedly until the black car arrived. Rehman Daikait emerged, commanding the space with effortless dominance. Your father greeted him warmly, a trusted ally, while you observed from the shadows, sensing the danger beneath his polite facade. In the study, whispers of foreign deals and costly protection drifted out. Before leaving, Rehman caught your gaze from the stairs. His eyes held cold calculation, not kindness. “Empires need guardians,” he murmured. As his car vanished into the night, the truth settled: your father’s power rested on Rehman’s loyalty—a bond that never truly breaks.
