An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1836

“What? Abandon West Lucozia? That’s like handing the throne to Julius!” Austin’s expression turned grim.

“As long as we’re alive, there’s still a chance. We need to stay resilient. There are opportunities, and we must not lose hope,” Lincon said with heartfelt sincerity.

“The throne is stolen, the military insignia is taken, and 50 thousand Black Dragon Army soldiers are all following Julius’ orders. In this situation, where do we have a chance?” Tyrus shook his head.

If he had known it would come to this, he wouldn’t have been so greedy by forming an alliance through marriage with the Rhys family. Now, he didn’t gain any advantage and only managed to entangle himself in a difficult situation.

“I think Sir Blaze is right. We must prepare for the worst in case of unforeseen events.” Eloise nodded. Though reluctant to admit it, the current situation was highly unfavorable for them.

If the military insignia truly fell into Julius’s hands, they would lose any chance of turning the tide. Leaving West Lucozia seemed inevitable.

With the esteemed title of the eldest princess of Dragonmarsh, even if she departed West Lucozia for Oakvale, she would undoubtedly find a place of honor. It would spare her son from any undue hardship.

“Of course, don’t be too pessimistic. General Steele’s strength is no less than Elijah’s. If he manages to retrieve the military insignia, we still have hope, “Lincon encouraged.

“You’re right. Nothing is absolute in this world. We haven’t lost yet, so don’t look so gloomy. Cheer up!” Wyatt declared.

“Everyone, I’ll excuse myself for now.” Austin nodded toward the group and walked out of the hall.

At that moment, he was overwhelmed, and his first thought was of his elder brother, Logan.

To avoid exposing Dustin’s identity, Austin called his brother, who was disguised as a guard, into his room. He then instructed those around him to secure the courtyard and prevent anyone from approaching.

Once confirming it was safe, Dustin was the first to speak up. “Austin, did something happen? I saw a figure flash across the rooftop earlier.”
