Chapter 1795

Author: Marina Vittori
That was the only way for the officials to maintain their current positions.

Presently, the only person most qualified, capable, and powerful enough to succeed the Prince of West Lucozia was the Grand General of the Iron Stallion Cavalry, Julius Rhys.

Firstly, being a Rhys, Julius was a legitimate member of the royal family, making his claim for the throne unquestionable.

Secondly, as the Grand General of the Iron Stallion Cavalry, Julius commanded half of West Lucozia's military forces, wielding significant power.

Thirdly, with years of accumulated strength, Julius possessed ample influence, prestige, and accomplishments to ascend to the throne.

It wasn't an exaggeration to claim that everyone expected Julius to succeed Rufus.

Right after offering their condolences, many officials rushed to the Grand General's residence to pledge their loyalty.

These actions naturally didn't escape the monarchy's attention, but Eloise was in no state of mind to concern herself with such mat

  • An Understated Dominance   Chapter 2636

    As Dustin landed on the damaged deck, the golden glow from his sword gradually dimmed. Dark green blood floated on the rain-soaked sea, spreading slowly across the surface.The typhoon had passed quietly in the distance. A break appeared in the storm clouds, letting through a ray of sunlight that fell across the battered Wavebreaker.Grace steadied herself against the rolling gunwale, watching the sea settle back into calm. She exhaled in relief.That Dreadkraken had already reached ultimate grandmaster level. It was enormously large and had terrifying regenerative abilities. Even the strongest grandmaster at that level wouldn't stand a chance against it. They were lucky Dustin was there. Otherwise, the casualties would have been devastating.The sea finally calmed down, and the storm gradually subsided. As Wavebreaker bobbed on the swells, the deck was littered with blood and splintered wood. Soldiers sat slumped on the deck, gasping for air, with fear still etched on every fa

    "It's a Dreadkraken!" Jonah shouted.He slumped against the cabin door, his teeth chattering."According to legend, this sea creature from Wailing Deep feeds exclusively on living humans."As he spoke, more tentacles lashed out from every direction. Some wrapped around the mast and snapped the sturdy timber clean in half. Others thrust into the cabin, smashing the supplies to bits.A young soldier was grabbed by a tentacle and hoisted high into the air. He screamed his comrades' names in terror before being flung into the crashing waves, disappearing beneath the surface.The ship lurched violently to one side. Several crew members lost their footing and went tumbling across the deck.A military medic with his medical kit rushed to help wounded soldiers, but a tentacle that came out of nowhere knocked him down. The kit spilled open on the deck, scattering the herbs that were instantly soaked by seawater.Suction cups along the tentacle latched onto his leg. He shrieked in pain an

    Grace stared at a mountain of sea charts on her desk, running her fingers over the yellowed hemp paper. Under the flickering candlelight, the shipping routes marked in red-inked lines resembled dried blood.When Dustin entered, he saw her sliding a thick collection of leather-bound ledgers into a rosewood case. Between the pages, words like "freshwater supplies" and "ration calculations" revealed her meticulous planning for their upcoming voyage."Any news from the fishermen?" he asked.Grace glanced toward the window, where dusk was settling outside. "Sadie just returned from the fishing harbor. She found an old fisherman named Jonah Quade. Three years ago, he spotted what looked like a mirage near Wailing Deep. He swore he saw grand palaces floating in the clouds and a stone marker engraved with the words 'Elysium Isle.'"She paused, then drummed her fingers on the desk. "But he said that the phenomenon only lasted half an hour. When he looked again, even the sea fog had clea

    Upon receiving Valon's decree, Tristan, Matthias, Nathaniel, and Grace each reacted differently.…Tristan was sitting in his study, calculating the advantages and disadvantages of his recent expedition to the Ashen Coast.While his performance hadn't been particularly outstanding, he had still fared considerably better than Matthias and Nathaniel. Yet even this modest edge clearly wouldn't change his circumstances.Suddenly, Milton burst through the door with urgent news. "Your Highness, I just received word from the palace that His Majesty's condition has worsened. His time is running out. He's issued a special decree—whichever royal family member can journey to Elysium Isle and return with the elixir of immortality will be named heir to the throne.""Heir to the throne?"Tristan perked up at once. However, his excitement quickly gave way to concern.He'd heard tales of Elysium Isle, but only as legend. Whether such a place actually existed in the Eastern Sea or whether any

    Five days passed in the blink of an eye. The plague on the Ashen Coast was finally under control, but the aftermath was different in every city.Reedcrest, where the outbreak had first begun, had suffered the least. Its people had been properly resettled and cared for.Harbortown's proximity to Reedcrest and Grace's timely rescue efforts had made it possible to eliminate the mutated plague, albeit at significant cost.Thornwick and Sommertown had eradicated the plague, but the price they paid was catastrophic. Thousands of civilians had been burned alive and slaughtered, and their bodies were piled high in the streets.Although Matthias and Nathaniel tried their best to cover it up, claiming it was to prevent the spread of the plague, word had leaked out anyway. Soon, heated debates erupted throughout the government and the public. Some condemned them for cruelty, while others believed that desperate times called for desperate measures and saw nothing wrong with their actions.O

    Thick black smoke blanketed the sky over Thornwick. The once-bustling streets now lay in deathly silence. Choking, acrid fumes filled the air, mixed with the metallic tang of blood and the putrid stench of decay.At the mass burial ground in the southwest of the city, massive fires still raged. Flames crackled and hissed as they consumed what remained of human life. Charred bodies twisted in the heat while half-burned limbs occasionally tumbled from the pyre, exposing white bone.Matthias stood on the hillside in his protective gear, staring down at the scene with complete indifference. There wasn't a flicker of emotion on his sharply defined face. It was as if what burned below weren't thousands of human lives, but a field of dry grass. Dried blood stained his protective gear, gleaming dully in the sunlight."Your Highness, we found another 37 infected civilians in the western quarter. We've brought them all here," the assistant general reported, dropping to one knee. His voice s
