An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1912

After lunch, Dustin received an unexpected call from Grace. She had something important to discuss, and they were to meet at the old house in the western city.

Dustin had acquired this particular residence specifically for the training of undercover agents. These women, once victims of Russo’s abuses, willingly joined the West Lucozia undercover agent camp.

They were prepared to sacrifice their lives to make sure no one else would go through the same experiences they did. Dustin admired their sense of justice and honored their wishes.

Under Rodrigo’s training, these women had been inducted as official agents. However, they still required at least three years of further development before they could take on missions.

Dustin fervently hoped that he would never have to deploy them as it would signify peace in the region. Undercover agents were only deployed in the face of potential threats and only had a 10% survival rate.

Half an hour later, Dustin arrived at the old house in the western city and entered the meeting room where Grace had long been waiting.

Grace wore a green dress that day, her beautiful face still concealed by a veil. Even with her features hidden, her alluring figure exuded undeniable charm, sparking the imagination of those around her.

“You’re here. Have a seat,” Grace said, pouring Dustin a cup of tea.

“What is it that you need to discuss, Your Highness?” Dustin said as he took a seat.

“Why do you sometimes address me that way? Aren’t we considered close now?” Grace smirked.

“How should I address you then? Ms. Linsor? Princess Grace?” Dustin was puzzled.

“Come on! Haven’t you been calling me Grace all this time?” Grace rolled her eyes.

“I was just worried that you might not like it. Fine, Grace, then.” Dustin shrugged.

Dustin guessed they could address each other more familiarly since they’d had life-and-death experiences together.

“Hmph! Why does it seem like you don’t like it?” Grace narrowed her beautiful eyes.

“What do you mean? Of course, I’m delighted. It’s my honor to be friends with the Princess of Dragonmarsh.”

Dustin gave her a professionally courteous smile.

“Hmph! I don’t feel the sincerity!”

Grace grumbled but didn’t dwell on it too much. Instead, she immediately revealed the reason for their meeting, ” I invited you here today mainly to discuss our next steps.

“West Lucozia has now been stabilized, and the remnants of the Dragon Guard have been wiped out. According to our previous agreement, it’s time for you to help me search for the Dracan essences.

“Don’t worry, I will fulfill my promise. As soon as there is information on the Dracan essences, I’ll leave with you immediately to investigate,” Dustin replied earnestly.

He had a rough idea of her intentions the moment she called. However, with no information or leads on the whereabouts of the Dracan essences, he couldn’t just roam around aimlessly like a headless chicken.

“Great. I’m relieved at your assurance, “Grace responded.

She wore a satisfied smile. “To be honest, my men have been searching for the Dracan essences, and they finally found a lead two days ago.”
