Chapter 100 - Chapter 100 — Now, We Rise

Location: Dracas Estate – Upper Terrace, Midnight

The world below was lit with firelight and moon-glow.

Above it, the terrace opened into starlit silence — the highest point of the mansion.

Damon stood in the center.

Behind him: four women.

Each once held a piece of his heart.

Now… they held his future.

Nova.

Arielle.

Elina.

And Viera — a quiet storm from the Dracas Circle.

He turned slowly.

No mask.

No walls.

Just truth.

Damon's Promise – One Heart, Many Bonds

"I don't live by time anymore," he began, voice calm but weighty.

"I don't fear age. Or endings. Or death."

He looked at them one by one.

"But I still love.

Still feel.

Still want."

"Each of you… changed me. Saved me.

And I've never said it aloud before — but I will now."

"I plan to marry all of you."

The air stilled.

Eyes widened.

But he continued.

"Not as trophies. Not as secrets.

But as queens to a throne the world can't touch."

He exhaled.

"And… there may be more.

I won't lie to you.

Others may come — drawn by power, loyalty, fate.

But I'll never hide it."

"All I ask…

is that you stay with me.

Grow with me.

And rule beside me."

Nova – The First Flame

She stepped forward first.

Touched his hand.

"I've known who you are since the beginning.

And I'm not leaving.

Not now.

Not ever."

Arielle – The Firebrand

She crossed her arms.

Then smiled.

"You think I care about how many girls you bring in?

Just don't forget—I was here before the crown."

He chuckled.

She grinned.

"I'll be your queen.

And your problem. Forever."

Elina – The Soft Storm

She said nothing at first.

Just walked to him.

Laid her head gently against his chest.

"As long as I have a piece of you…

They can have the rest."

Viera – The Cold Beauty

She walked up last.

Eyes sharp.

But lips curled.

"As long as I'm not just one of many…

But one of the chosen, I don't care how big your empire gets."

She touched his chest.

"Just don't ever shut me out."

Final Scene – The Vow Before the Empire

They stood together, arms around him, heads near his.

And Damon whispered:

"Then this is the beginning of our eternity."

Above them, the stars burned.

Below them, the world turned.

And around them?

A dynasty took its first immortal breath.
