An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1801

Austin’s words were powerful and filled with emotion. The potential chaos in West Lucozia would undoubtedly affect not only the Eight Sovereigns but also numerous high-ranking officials and millions of citizens.

They all grew up in West Lucozia, and it was where their roots were. That was why anyone with a sense of patriotism could never turn a blind eye.

“Your Highness, your reasoning is sound, but I’m a timid and cautious person. I tend to weigh the consequences carefully.

“What if my forces suffer heavy losses while quelling the rebellion? What happens then?” Tyrus appeared hesitant.

“Uncle Tyrus, I can assure you that if you incur any losses, we will compensate you twofold!” Austin declared earnestly.

He understood that Tyrus was seeking tangible benefits. After all, this was a gamble with his entire wealth, and the potential losses could be substantial. His actions seemed reasonable, given the circumstances.

“Your Highness, it’s not that I don’t trust you. But in matters like this, words alone may not suffice,” Tyrus said, sending a hint.

“Uncle Tyrus, feel free to ask for anything. I won’t refuse you as long as it’s within my means,” Austin asserted confidently, showcasing his sincerity.

“Very well. Your words have reassured me.”

Tyrus smiled faintly. “In truth, I don’t seek soldiers or wealth. My only concern is for my daughter. She’s 25 years old this year and hasn’t found a suitable match. It would be a blessing if she could marry you, Your Highness.”

“Marry me?” Austin raised his eyebrows in surprise.

“That’s right.” Tyrus nodded with a smile.

“My daughter, Danielle, may not be the most beautiful, but she possesses charm and intelligence. If you marry her, I believe you’ll gain an excellent companion.”

He possessed wealth and influence and only lacked supreme power. The recent demise of the Prince of West Lucozia made Austin the likely successor to the throne.
