An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1264

Chapter 1264 Deep Pain in the Heart

"Is that so? What if it's related to the turmoil in the Bayhaven City ten years ago?" Dustin suddenly asked.

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Thorian's face stiffened involuntarily, and he fell silent, casting an instinctive glance at his own mother.

The turmoil in the Bayhaven City ten years ago was a taboo for the West Lucozia King's Mansion and the entire Dragonmarsh.

Since then, history had been sealed, and no one dared to mention it.

Suddenly, such a statement took him by surprise.

"Dustin, what happened in the past is in the past. The events from ten years ago have already been concluded and should not be brought up again," Elara gently advised.

"Concluded?"

Dustin's eyes slowly rose, and he said in a calm tone, "My mother died under mysterious circumstances, and my personal guards died with grudges. What's concluded? My heart's grudge is still unresolved."

"Your mom's death was something I deeply regret, but the real culprits have already been executed. The people who should have been killed have been killed. It's time for you to let go of your obsession," Elara softly persuaded.

"Let go?"

Dustin's mouth curled with a touch of irony, "Blood debts are not so easily let go of. Besides, those who died were just scapegoats. The real mastermind has never been brought to justice."

"Logan, I understand that you were deeply affected by what happened back then. But if you keep clinging to the past, you'll forever be trapped in nightmares, unable to break free. Let it go. Don't torture yourself any longer. You should have a better life."

Do you know what it feels like to watch those closest to you sacrifice themselves one by one for your safety? They all died for me! It's been ten years! Every night, I have nightmares and relive those days. Whenever I close my eyes, I see those bloody faces and hear those cries of despair. I'm in hell, burdened with countless blood debts. Princess, you tell me, how can I let go? How can I find redemption? How can I start anew?"

As he spoke, Dustin's expression turned fierce, his eyes crimson, and he exuded a murderous aura that sent chills down people's spines.

Even Thorian, who was sitting next to him, was directly frightened and trembling, with cold sweat pouring out.

Elara, who had an extremely saddened in her heart, was also speechless at this moment.

She had never expected that beneath Dustin's seemingly calm exterior, there was such a heavy resentment.

"Sorry, I lost control just now."

Realizing his own abnormality, Dustin immediately suppressed the hostility and returned to the calm and indifferent demeanor he had before.

The ferocity he displayed just now was like two completely different extremes.

The events from ten years ago had always been a deep pain in his heart, and he had difficulty controlling his emotions whenever they were mentioned.

"Alas..."

Elara sighed deeply. "It seems that your father was right. Your obsession runs too deep, and it's difficult to resolve. Instead of advising you to put down yo
