An Understated Dominance By Marina Vittori

“Grand General Rhys, I have only one son. I cannot leave him behind and return to Oakvale alone. I implore you to show mercy!” Eloise bowed deeply.

Is that so?” Julius smirked slightly, showing some interest. “Your Highness, are you here to negotiate with me?” “That’s right.” She was straightforward. “As long as you agree to three things, we will all support you as

“What? The Black Dragon Army sealed the city? How did this happen so quickly?” Tyrus’s face changed. He nearly jumped out of his seat. They thought they could delay for a few days. But overnight, Julius had already brought his army to their doorstep. The efficiency was terrifyingly fast. “Quick! Assemble the troops immediately, prepare

“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

Jaxon’s announcement immediately captured the attention of everyone present. Eloise hesitated for a moment, opening her mouth as if she wanted to say something. After all, he was the captain of the royal guards and someone she trusted. Hence, she didn’t want to see him risking his life in this situation. However, given the circumstances, there

While the idea has merit, there’s a drawback,” Elijah said. He went on, “For a new prince to ascend, we need the king’s approval and officials’ testimony. Without it, convincing people is challenging.” He added, “Also, obtaining the king’s consent and officials’ testimony would take at least three days. In our current situation, we simply
