Chapter 164

THEON

I have travelled a lot in my life, from country to country and from city to city but never have I been to the East Kingdom and that….baffled me.

Aside from the fact that one needed military cleareance to get in with my status, I knew nothing about the place.

Last I heard, it used to be a kingdom, then the civil war happened and it became..forgotten. No one talked about it anymore. No one knew what went on there and it seems today, it seems I am about to find out.

Entering into the stratosphere, I expected to see ruins but to my surprise, I saw cities and what seemed to be a thriving kingdom. Miro and I exchanged a glance, then I looked at my father, sitting beside Dutton and caught his smirk..

“Surprised?” He asked with an air of arrogance. “I was going to show you this place immediately after you chose the new set of trainees for the Academy. His face soured. “Then you decided to involve women and brought on that…girl.” His lips curled in disgust as his gaze drifted away in thought. “Started disobeying me from nowhere. Giving me attitude. Contradicting your King.” He muttered more to himself than to me. “Couldn’t trust you anymore.”

I stared at his pathetic face, “So what changed?”

He looked at me, his green eyes shining. “What changed is the fact that I am being pushed to a corner and I need you to see things my way. I have come too far, for some girl to destroy everything I have built!”

The helicopter landed and all of us alighted. Then my brother and I bent low, as we walked away, totally deafened by the sound of the rotating blades.

Parked in the distance was a black limo and after we all entered, the car began to move. Soon we went from open fields, to farmlands where I saw people working under supervision. Afer that, we moved into a city and when I saw huge machinery and unhappy people standing in line to clock into work, that’s when it dawned on me that this was not a kingdom.

This was an industry. A factory. The people here are slaves.

I turned to my father who had just ended a call. “What happened to the East?”

My father looked out the window, his face carrying that smugness again. “A lot happened but that doesn’t matter. What matters now is that this is the seat of all Elite wealth. Any family top tier in wealth has one or two business ventures here. Our family does, and so do the Blackwells, Caines, Cresswells and the rest.”

I frowned. It doesn’t make any sense. How does a whole Kingdom become subject to wealthy families of the West?
