An Understated Dominance Chapter 2546
When Nathaniel finally regained consciousness, it was already evening. Outside his room, Lycas and Bryce stood vigilantly with a team of elite guards. Nathaniel's mother, Cynthia Spanner, stood anxiously at his bedside alongside several imperial doctors. As soon as she heard that her son was unconscious, she rushed over with the doctors.Nathaniel was her only son. She had devoted herself entirely to raising him, giving him the best of everything. And fortunately, he had lived up to her expectations. He stood out among the other princes and had earned the right to compete for the throne.Cynthia had been making plans for Nathaniel's future recently. But just as everything seemed to finally come together, this sudden crisis left her shaken.Thankfully, it wasn't anything serious. He had only fainted from the stress."Nathaniel, how are you feeling? Are you alright?" Cynthia asked.When her son opened his eyes, she moved quickly to his side, concern written on her face."Mother

"I see," Dustin muttered as his gaze fixed on the chessboard.He nodded and said, "You've helped me tonight. That puts me in your debt. If you ever need anything, just say the word."Dustin lived by one rule—return what was given, whether kindness or vengeance. Felicia hadn't exposed him earlier. She had even covered for him. That was a debt he intended to repay."Mr. Rhys, you truly are a man of principle. I admire that," she said.She dipped her head with a playful smile, and that gesture carried an elegant charm."But I'm still curious about what brought you here tonight. Did you already suspect me?" Dustin asked."Anyone who wants to get close to Nathaniel usually wants one of three things—power, fame, or money. I can see it in their eyes, but you're different," Felicia said with a smile.She continued, "You came here and offered the Dracan essence, but didn't ask for a title or recognition. You even turned down the company of women, which only makes me suspect you have an

Dustin's expression darkened, and his voice came out sharper than before. If he stayed quiet and let Nathaniel search him without protest, it would only make him look suspicious."Logan, there's been a break-in. The whole mansion is on lockdown. For your safety, we need to search the place," Nathaniel said, his expression darkening.He was convinced Dustin was the thief. But without solid evidence, he couldn't make a direct accusation. If Dustin resisted, Nathaniel wouldn't hesitate to act."Break-in?" Dustin raised an eyebrow. "Really? Is that what the tremor earlier was about?""We'll go over the details later. Right now, we can't risk letting anyone slip away. So, I must search your place," Nathaniel said.He wasn't in the mood to explain further. Then, he waved a hand toward Lycas and Bryce and signaled them to act.The two exchanged a glance, then stormed into the inner room with a squad of guards behind them.Nathaniel gave Dustin one long, measured look before following t

Nathaniel anxiously urged the guards, "Hurry up! Pick up the pace."At that moment, he couldn't help but blame the mansion for being too large because they couldn't even reach the scene fast enough."Your Highness, what's going on?"Just then, Lycas and Bryce arrived with a squad of elite guards. Most of them rushed in without even having time to throw on a shirt. After all, this was the first time the alarm had ever sounded inside the mansion.Nathaniel didn't bother to explain and quickly ordered, "A thief sneaked into the mansion. Block every exit and don't let him escape.""Hurry up and seal the entire compound," Lycas shouted and quickly led the team into action.They'd been training for years. Now it was time to prove themselves."Quick! This way," Nathaniel said urgently.He didn't stop moving and led the squad of guards forward at full speed.But just then, a deafening boom erupted from the vault's direction. The ground shook like an earthquake, and rattled the entire

Dustin looked at the stone steps leading down. He took a deep breath and slowly descended.The hidden passage was long, but it was dimly illuminated. After walking for a while, the path leveled out and grew wider the farther he went.The path ahead was quiet. There were no new traps, and nothing else seemed out of place.Dustin followed the passage into the secret chamber. The place was spacious, and every inch was filled with rare finds—divine weapons, cultivation manuscripts, valuable herbs, and priceless artifacts.He scanned the displays carefully but didn't see the ornate box that was said to contain the Dracan essence. His gaze drifted to the far end of the room, and he saw a solid steel door engraved with intricate runes.Dustin took out his compass and looked at it. The needle pointed straight at the door and didn't move at all."It must be hidden inside this vault," he muttered.He put away the compass and examined the heavy door. His eyes scanned the dense, cryptic run

Nathaniel approached the vault and quickly knocked a few times on the door. With a deep rumble, the heavy door slowly began to open.Inside, the treasures were dazzling—emerald pendants glowing with an otherworldly light, a bronze cauldron engraved with mysterious symbols, and tablets shimmering with a strange, eerie glow.At the center was an ornate box encased in bulletproof glass.Nathaniel stepped forward, entered the code, and lifted the protective cover. He opened the box lid to reveal another Dracan essence inside.The orb, about the size of a chicken egg, shimmered faintly. Inside, a stream of dragon-shaped energy swirled continuously."This one's a keeper," he muttered.Nathaniel placed the Dracan essence Dustin had given him beside the first one. He couldn't help but grin from ear to ear.These orbs were a force capable of defying fate and a power that could turn everything around. He'd gone to great lengths to get the first one but never imagined he'd find the secon

"Mr. Rhys, you're so generous," Felicia said. "I don't know how to repay you."She lightly ran her fingers over the smooth surface of the ornate box. Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears as she looked up at Dustin gratefully."It was nothing, Ms. Thorns. Don't mention it," he replied with an indifferent smile. "Besides, this Dracan essence was always destined for Prince Nathaniel. I'm merely delivering it."Felicia smiled earnestly. "What do you want in return? If it's within my power, I'll gladly help."Dustin replied, "I'm not asking for anything. I only hope that if I ever find myself in trouble, Prince Nathaniel will be willing to help me.""I get it now." Felicia nodded.Dustin wasn't asking for treasure, but rather seeking a favor from Nathaniel. With Nathaniel's current status, his favor was more valuable than any treasure.If he ascended the throne and became king, the value of that favor would increase exponentially. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that, even if D

When Dustin heard Felicia's word, his hand briefly hesitated before he placed the chess piece. He smiled and said, "I thought you came to learn chess, but I didn't expect you to be here as a messenger."Felicia gave a light, teasing laugh. "With a mind like yours, how could you not know why I'm here?"She added candidly, "Prince Nathaniel saved my life and welcomed me as an honored guest. It's only right that I repay the favor by helping solve his troubles. I hope that it doesn't bother you.""You're frank and gracious, Ms. Thorns. Why would I take offense?" Dustin replied with a faint smile.He had expected her to start with pleasantries or try to butter him up. So, her bluntness actually caught him off guard."To be honest, Prince Nathaniel has never taken this kind of interest in anyone before," Felicia said as she placed another chess piece on the board. She smiled and continued, "I can tell he truly wants you on his side. And as someone close to him, I'd like to help make

Nathaniel's mansion was huge. It was more like a maze than a home. Even with a detailed layout, Dustin had to stay sharp as he moved through the grounds. After all, blueprints never quite captured the twists and turns of the actual place.Led by a maid, he followed a winding path through the corridors for nearly ten minutes before finally arriving at a guesthouse with a garden.The place was spacious and quiet, filled with birdsong and blooming flowers. It was a secluded spot that was ideal for privacy."Mr. Rhys, you can stay here. If you need anything, just let me know," the maid said. Her gaze was warm with a hint of admiration. She had watched Dustin's performance in the training ground earlier and knew he was an important guest brought in by Nathaniel. If she could catch his attention, it could completely turn her life around.He waved her off and said, "Okay. You can go now. I don't need anyone to attend to me." "Uh… but…" The maid hesitated."Don't worry. I'll explain
