An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1659

“What did you say?” Amidst the rising tension, Dustin’s expression swiftly transformed.

He responded with resolve, “Rufus is stationed far away in West Lucozia, commanding a formidable force with numerous skilled protectors. How do you propose to confront him?”

Though the Dragon Guard wielded considerable influence, the West Lucozian monarchy proved to be a formidable adversary. They had tolerated this thorn for years, likely out of fear or caution.

As long as Rufus stood firm, the West Lucozian monarchy remained secure. It would dissuade the Dragon Guard from any bold moves.

From Nestor’s words, it seemed the situation had shifted.

“Your Grace, times have changed.”

Nestor smiled. “”The Dragon Guard has been preparing for a day when they could eliminate the West Lucozian monarchy. If we calculate the time, that day is coming soon.”

“What exactly do you want?” Dustin demanded.

“Your Grace, you don’t need to worry about these matters. Besides, you won’t leave here alive today,” Nestor replied nonchalantly.

“Hmph! You want to kill me? It will not be so easy!” Dustin remarked icily. ” Even if you have an ambush, I’m not fighting alone. My reinforcements are on their way, and the outcome is still uncertain!”

“Your Grace, the Dragon Guard has seen through your plans long ago. Your so-called reinforcements probably won’t arrive today. Now, you are like a turtle in a jar,” Nestor said calmly.
