An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1833

“No way! This is too risky!”

Upon witnessing Dustin’s inclination for a dangerous undertaking, Austin swiftly stepped in to stop his brother.

Austin acknowledged Dustin’s formidable strength, but Julius had gathered a considerable number of skilled individuals. Facing multiple challenges or opponents was always challenging.

If the assassination failed, Dustin could find himself surrounded by those formidable adversaries. As the prospective Prince of West Lucozia, Austin couldn’t permit such a hazardous venture.

“Your Highness, sometimes risks must be taken. In crucial moments like this, sacrifices are inevitable,” Tyrus remarked casually. “Besides, he’s just a guard. Why are you so uptight about it?

“I said it’s not happening!” Austin almost shouted.

A formidable wave of intimidation surged, prompting Tyrus to step back in shock.

It wasn’t just Tyrus. Everyone looked at each other and was baffled. No one anticipated such a strong reaction from Austin.

Seemingly aware that he had let his emotions get the better of him, Austin took a deep breath, suppressing the turbulence within.

He calmly stated, “Uncle Tyrus, a guard’s life is as valuable as ours. We can’t let someone sacrifice themselves in vain. How can we earn the people’s trust in the future if we let such a thing happen?”

“Yes, Your Highness, you’re absolutely right.” Tyrus chuckled sheepishly, though silently. He assessed the situation and wondered if Austin had lost his mind. Tyrus couldn’t help but wonder if making such a fuss over a guard was really necessary.

“We can’t do this, can’t do that, what should we do now? Just sit around waiting to be defeated?” Wyatt sighed.

“Well, I actually have a good idea,” Elijah suddenly spoke up.

“Oh? What is it?” Eloise raised an eyebrow.

“Julius’s confidence lies in the Black Dragon Army. We can exploit that,” Elijah suggested.

He continued, “As you all know, aside from wartime, only His Highness and the Marshal’s military insignia can command the Black Dragon Army.
