An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1803

Dustin and Austin opted to skip sleep, and the following morning, they swiftly arrived at Southvista. This territory belonged to Elijah Valor, the Marquis of Silvercrest.

It was renowned for having the largest military force and the strongest economy among the Southern Four Sovereigns.

However, Elijah was a stubborn and unpredictable man. There were instances where he showed no respect, even to Rufus. This unpredictability made Austin doubtful about convincing him.

“Logan, we’ve arrived at the Marquis of Silvercrest’s residence,” Austin informed as they, along with a few others, disembarked from the car.

“It’s been two days. We can’t keep your absence from the castle under wraps much longer. We need to speed up our efforts,” Dustin reminded.

“I understand.” Austin nodded.

“Elijah might not be easy to deal with, but he’s not entirely without integrity. With the right incentives and an emotional appeal, we should be able to convince him.”

Dustin nodded. “Alright, let’s head in.”

Austin adjusted his attire and refreshed himself before approaching the mansion. He then identified himself to the guards and, as expected, gained a smooth entry.

However, unlike previous encounters, they were directed to Elijah’s personal training ground instead of the main hall.

It was common knowledge that Elijah was a martial enthusiast. He personally led the training of his troops on a regular basis, resulting in a formidable and well-trained force.

“Your Highness, Lord Valor is currently training inside. Please, head in,” a guard said. He led them to the entrance of the training ground before leaving.

As they entered, they noticed a muscular middle-aged man in the center of the arena, engaged in a sparring session with several elite guards.
