An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1898

“Your Highness?” Cinna kneeled on the ground, observing the frosty Dustin with mixed feelings. Cinna felt joy at the sight of Dustin but also carried a profound sense of guilt.

When the Black Dragon Army ambushed Cinna, he realized the dire state of the Dragon Guard. As anticipated, a retaliatory scheme ensued, resulting in the destruction of the Dragon Guard’s base and the death of Reagan.

Yet now, Cinna found himself in captivity. Surprisingly, he bore no grudges. Instead, a feeling of relief swept over him.

Despite being a part of the Dragon Guard, West Lucozia had been his home for countless years, with many individuals becoming like family.

His actions, often driven by necessity, had led to an ongoing internal conflict. His current situation seemed like a fitting consequence.

“Cinna, I bet this isn’t how you saw things playing out. Reagan didn’t make it, and neither did your plan. What do you have to say now?” Dustin said coldly.

“I have no words in the presence of defeat. If you decide to proceed with my execution, I’ll accept it. My only wish is that you spare the innocent,” Cinna pleaded.

“Do you think you have the right to negotiate with me?” Dustin replied impassively.

“I’ve committed a crime worthy of death, but my wife and daughter are innocent. They’ve done nothing wrong.

I beg you, please spare them,” Cinna pleaded, humbling himself and bowing before him.

“They are innocent, yet as a consequence of your deeds, they now carry the weight of your sins. Do you honestly think your family can escape unharmed after committing such heinous acts?” Dustin remained indifferent.

“Your Highness, I’m willing to make amends.” Cinna bowed desperately, displaying a palpable unease in his demeanor.

He added, “I am at your disposal for any service you may require, as long as you spare my family. I’ll do anything!”

His fear extended beyond personal well -being. His primary focus was safeguarding his family. The betrayal and choices he made were prompted by Reagan’s ruthless strategy of taking his wife and daughter hostage.

“Make amends? I’d like to hear how you plan to do that. How will you serve me?” Dustin inquired. Cinna lowered his head and said, “The Dragon Guard boasts a robust and well- established influence.
