The Return of the Crimson Crown
When Arjun finally returned to Sunagarh, he did not come with an army of gold, but with the loyalty of the people. Farmers, hunters, former soldiers, and exiles gathered around him, drawn by his humility and courage.
The rule of Drohin had become cruel. Taxes were heavy, and justice was sold to the highest bidder. The people longed for the days of King Maharath.
A final battle was fought beneath the broken banners of the old kingdom. Drohin's armies, strong in number but weak in spirit, fell before those who fought for hope.
Arjun faced the traitor in the ruined throne hall. Their swords met, and in the end, betrayal was defeated by resolve.
As Arjun placed the Crimson Crown upon his head, he remembered his father's final words. He did not rule as a conqueror, but as a guardian of justice.
And so, the Golden Kingdom rose again—not through fear, but through honor, sacrifice, and the unbroken will of its people.
