An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1823

A perfunctory speech like this would only fool the public. If they thought it could fool Elijah, it’d be an insult to his intelligence.

“Elijah, let us be honest with you now that it has come to this. We’ll tell you everything.”

Ignatius took two steps forward and said seriously, “After the death of the prince, we need a new leader. Who do you think is most suitable to be the new ruler of West Lucozia?”

“What are you trying to say?” Elijah sneered.

“I believe you’re well aware that the best candidate is Julius Rhys, the Grand General of the Iron Stallion Cavalry!” Ignatius said, raising his head.

He added, “Only when the grand general becomes the ruler of West of Lucozia can we have better development, more land, and more military reserves.

“This is inevitable, and there’s nothing you can do to change it. You’re smart. I trust that you know what is in your best favor?”

“Are you saying that I should join forces with you?” Elijah wore a cryptic smile on his face.

“That’s right!” Ignatius nodded.

He said proudly, “The grand general is very skilled in martial arts, powerful, and talented. He’s more than qualified to be the new ruler.

“As the saying goes, a wise man will choose their leader. If you pledge your allegiance to the grand general, your future will be in good hands. You’ll have everything you ever wish for!”

“That’s right, Marquis of Silvercrest.” Atticus followed suit. “We used to serve the same prince, and we got along just fine. As long as we serve a wise leader, our lives will definitely become better!”

“That doesn’t sound too bad.” Elijah’s lips curved upward.

“Does that mean you’ll join us?” Ignatius’ eyes lit up when he thought he had successfully persuaded Elijah.

“Marquis of Silvercrest! You’re an excellent fighter. If you help us deal with this assassin, we’ll definitely put in a good word or two for you with the grand general,” Atticus said and pointed toward Dustin.

“Hey, hold on. Who said I agreed to join forces with you?”

With a devilish smile, Elijah added, ” I’m a very loyal servant to my country, not like you bastards. Please do not impose your corrupt thinking on my noble sentiments.”
