Path to Sovereignty
THE PATH TO SOVEREIGNTY
Imagine dying as a 45-year-old historian with 214 browser tabs open, only to wake up as a British Prince in the 1700s of an alternate earth filled with magic, born with a "ruling dragon" bloodline and a mother who can freeze the room—literally.
Yeah, that’s how it began...
.............
.....
Solomon Valdraig knows exactly how the British Empire is supposed to dismantle India because he literally wrote the book on it in his past life. His plan to save the world is simple: instead of conquest, he’s going for a "Global Covenant."
Basically...
He’s going to marry his way into every magical tradition on Earth until war becomes a logistical nightmare and everyone is too busy at his wedding to fight. It’s a flawless geopolitical masterstroke, except for one tiny detail—Solomon’s "political genius" software keeps crashing whenever it encounters an actual woman.
But there's a problem... probably...
Because Solomon lives in a world where his father, King Aldric, keeps giving earnest, accidentally revolutionary speeches about "Fair Trade" that make the British Empire look more like a polite charity than a colonial power.
"The proposed structure... on the land adjacent to Saint Clement's," the Lady Commander Ashton of the Cross Anthem Order said, her hand resting on the hilt of a sword that definitely wasn't for show.
"I am here to formally register our objection. A mosque, Sire? Beside the church?"
"The people in question are refugees from Al-Andalus," his father’s reply was blunt, his decency acting like a physical shield.
"They lost their homes. They have been outside the city for six weeks. They needed it. I have decided it with the Cardinal."
It was the kind of answer that was too honest to argue with, leaving the Paladin—and the rest of the British establishment—wondering how they were supposed to conquer the world if the King kept building mosques for refugees just because it was the "decent" thing to do.
Meanwhile, his mother, Layla, is the real power behind the throne, moving like a silent glacier and arranging Solomon’s life before he even finishes breakfast.
He’s surrounded by "unhinged" heroines who see through his charming-prince routine in seconds, leaving him to navigate a minefield of ancient magical Laws, internal palace coups, and the sheer chaos of a harem that refuses to follow his 50-year strategic plan.
He’s cheerfully amoral, deeply in love with his wives, and convinced that the only way to build a unified world is to be the guy everyone wants to have dinner with—even if the dinner ends with a building exploding and a magical duel over the appetizers.
