《An Understated Dominance》全部章節：第 1831 章 - 第 1840 章

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 didn't seem to be a more suitable candidate."General Steele's strength is unquestionable, and his loyalty is unwavering. There's indeed a chance of successfully assassinating Julius with him." Wyatt nodded. As the captain of the royal guards, Jaxon's strength was beyond doubt, and his loyalty was unwavering."General Steele, I don't mean to underestimate you, but relying solely on you might not be enough," Elijah suddenly said."Wait! What about that legendary Executioner?" Tyrus asked suddenly. He added, "The name Executioner is famous far and wide. In terms of strength, he should be no less than General Steele, right?""No, Sir Albe

In the castle's side hall, the Southern Four Sovereigns sat in a row, quietly waiting. Each of them bore a different expression, lost in contemplation.Elijah casually sipped his coffee, Lincon rested with closed eyes, Tyrus observed the hall's arrangement, and Wyatt paced impatiently. After some time passed, Eloise entered the hall with Austin and Jaxon, carrying an exquisite purple rosewood box."Gentlemen, the Marshal's military insignia has arrived," she announced and delicately placed the rosewood box on the table. Upon unveiling its contents, it revealed a striking golden tiger token.The meticulously crafted tiger token emanated a regal and imposing presence. Adorning its surface in resplendent gold were the words: "Symbol of Armor, with the Prince on the left and Lucozia on the right.""Indeed, it's the Marshal's military insignia!" Wyatt exclaimed, his eyes lighting up. He added, "With this insignia, we can command the Black Dragon Army. Julius's scheme will crumble wi

"What? Abandon West Lucozia? That's like handing the throne to Julius!" Austin's expression turned grim."As long as we're alive, there's still a chance. We need to stay resilient. There are opportunities, and we must not lose hope," Lincon said with heartfelt sincerity."The throne is stolen, the military insignia is taken, and 50 thousand Black Dragon Army soldiers are all following Julius' orders. In this situation, where do we have a chance?" Tyrus shook his head.If he had known it would come to this, he wouldn't have been so greedy by forming an alliance through marriage with the Rhys family. Now, he didn't gain any advantage and only managed to entangle himself in a difficult situation."I think Sir Blaze is right. We must prepare for the worst in case of unforeseen events." Eloise nodded.Though reluctant to admit it, the current situation was highly unfavorable for them. If the military insignia truly fell into Julius's hands, they would lose any chance of turning the t

"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 to escort Her Highness and His Highness out of the city!" Wyatt shouted."It's too late. The Black Dragon Army has already sealed the city. We can't escape." Eloise shook her head, her expression grim. Despite being mentally prepared, facing this was still hard to accept."We have to try. We can't just sit and wait for our demise." Wyatt urged anxiously."It's futile." She shook her head again. She added, "With the military insignia in Julius's hands, our fate is sealed. Instead of scurrying around like mice, it's better to face it head-on, at least with some dignity.""Your Highness—"Wyatt was about to say more but was interrupted by Eloise.

"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.At that crucial moment, she had cast aside all concerns for her pride. The sole focus was on extracting Austin from the raging inferno, a sacrifice she deemed worthwhile even if it meant surrendering her own life."If Your Highness does not wish to return to Oakvale, you can stay here," Julius said indifferently. He went on, "I can find a beautiful place in West Lucozia for both of you to spend the rest of your lives carefree. How about that?""If you become the Prince of West Lucozia, it might not be appropriate for us to stay here. It would be better if you allowed us to return to Oakvale. That way, everyone would be happy," she suggested."There's nothing inappropriate about it. Austin is my nephew," he said with a faint smile.He added, "So, having him assist me in West Lucozia is normal. If he performs well, he might even be r
