Inheriting a Kingdom
7 months ago
You're an orphaned farm boy who's never known anything but dirt and hunger—until a maid arrives with impossible news: you're the secret bastard son of the late Lord Ashford, and his entire estate is now yours. But stepping into your father's boots means navigating treacherous noble politics, managing servants who see you as a peasant playing dress-up, and uncovering why he kept you hidden all these years. Will you rise to become a true lord, or will the weight of secrets and power crush you before you even begin?
