An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1902

After handing out the treasure maps, Dustin and his team got to work and efficiently organized the Dragon Guard’s base.

The base’s location was pretty strategic, hidden, and easy to defend. It gave them a tactical edge as it sat right on the border between two nations.

It made sense to turn this stronghold into a military fortress. That way, it could be a strategic hub for launching surprise maneuvers in future conflicts with Western nations.

It wasn’t an urgent need, but being prepared ahead of time was always a smart move. After sorting out these issues, Dustin and his team returned to the West Lucozia castle.

With the threat eliminated and victory secured, Rufus, the Prince of West Lucozia, arranged a lavish feast at the castle. He invited everyone who played a part in resolving the recent events.

The whole castle was alive with excitement, inside and out. Everyone was thrilled to hear that Rufus had survived.

The additional news of wiping out the remaining Dragon Guard members only added to the joy, turning it into a moment deserving of celebration.

As the night set in, the castle came alive with activity. Distinguished guests and notable figures from West Lucozia-generals, high officials, and influential personalities-came together for a lively evening of feasting and celebration.

“Allow me to say a few words as one of the youngest here.” Austin stood up and raised his glass to address the crowd.

“Thank you for standing by the castle during its challenging moments. Your commitment and assistance have been truly priceless. Here’s a toast to all of you.”

With that, he downed his drink in one go.

“Your Highness, no need for all the formalities. As West Lucozia’s subjects, we stand by the castle no matter what. Our actions were just what we ought to do,” Wyatt, the Marquis of Sunfire, replied with a faint smile.
