Recap – Chapter 62: Fractured Throne
The throne of Thale no longer commands silence—it echoes with arguments, accusations, and cracks too deep for diplomacy to seal. In Chapter 62: Fractured Throne, Kai's political position was violently tested when Velis' calculated challenge arrived at the palace gates, wrapped not in words but in war.
With the High Council teetering between fear and defiance, Kai called an emergency assembly. But it quickly spiraled into a power struggle. Lords who once pledged allegiance began questioning his claim, emboldened by Velis' challenge. The air in the throne room turned colder by the minute, each noble's silence more dangerous than the last.
Yuri, once Kai's fiercest supporter, pulled away emotionally, unable to reconcile the version of him standing at the center of this growing storm with the boy she once protected. Meanwhile, Lyra argued fiercely in his defense, swearing she would kill any traitor before they touched a strand of his hair.
