When Empires Dream
What is Power ? Is it in control over others ? Is it the ability to protect anyone?
What is good ? What is evil?
Are morals even true? Politics or Masks !?
Is MC a Nihilist or Machiavillian Prince ? Or he is the Serpent Prince!?
What happened to him in the past ? How rulers could rule vast empires without nukes or advance forces ?
Is Romance even real or just a fantasy?
Coin of necessity — The necessary evil and the Necessary good !
Entering the world "the Blessing of Sol ".
This isn't about Lucien alone — it's about everything, it's about philosophy, power , morals and all .

I'm not gonna add any R18 content which is irrelevant to the plot and theme . So those who want arousal can seek another cheap dopamine.
MC isn't any loving or Good guy — don't think he will play the hero/Anti-hero . Same for those who think MC will stay cartoonishly the same over the whole story.
Though this is more history than Story , where you'll feel lived in . Here characters are more than props— living Philosophy, sacred agency and outcomes. Even I might not even predict until the very end !;)
Another point — English is not my main language and I had used AI in grammar check and confirmation of Prose . But at the end Idea, story and Novel is mine......

A morally gray epic of political intrigue, dark seduction, and the brutal cost of ambition. Perfect for readers who crave the sharp wit of 'Game of Thrones', the strategic complexity of 'Red Rising', and dark romance that cuts as deep as it burns.
