When Dustin thought about it carefully, he could guess Valon’s intentions. With the Dragon Guard eliminated, the

royal family would gain true control of the nation.

However, due to the Dragon Guard’s influence over the years, the royal family found itself in a precarious position

and needed substantial support.

It was clear that Valon had considered the West Lucozian monarchy the best choice to provide this support. On one

hand, the West Lucozian monarchy boasted formidable military strength and wielded influence in the court.

On the other hand, since they considered the Dragon Guard their sworn enemy, collaborating with them seemed

like the logical move.

As long as the royal family had the backing of the West Lucozian monarchy, their position would be fortified. This

was the reason Valon had sought out an audience with Dustin.

Although it sounded absurd for Dustin to decide the next in line for the throne, it underscored Valon’s sincerity. He

was indeed a strategist with a great vision.

“Logan, don’t feel pressured. Just choose whoever you think is suitable,” Valon said with a smile.

“Your Majesty, this is an important matter. I truly cannot make such a decision.” Dustin shook his head.

“There’s no need to rush. I’ve still got some time left. Take your time and think about it. Or you can discuss it with

your father. Just let me know after you’ve made a decision,” Valon said, still smiling.

“I”

Dustin was in a tough spot. He wanted to refuse Valon flatly, but it appeared Valon was having none of it.

Valon suddenly changed the topic, “Oh, by the way, Logan, I heard you’re still single. Is that right? I just so

happened to have found a prospective match for you.

“She’s not only beautiful and talented but also gentle and refined. She would make an excellent wife. You two seem

like a perfect match.”

“Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness, but these matters should be left to fate. There is no need to go as far as

arranging a marriage,” Dustin politely declined.

“Speaking of fate, you two have known each other for quite a while and seem to get along quite well. I believe

you’ll like her,” Valon said.

“Who exactly are you referring to, Your Majesty?” Dustin probed.

“She’s right here.” Valon smiled and turned to Grace.

“Her?” As Dustin followed his gaze, his eyes twitched.

“Me?” Grace pointed at herself, equally surprised. Neither of them expected the conversation to take a turn toward

marriage.

“Look at you two. You’re just like two peas in a pod.” Valon chuckled.

“My sister married your father, and if my daughter marries you, it would further strengthen our familial ties. This is

advantageous for both of our families.”

“Your Majesty, I’m very sorry. I already have someone I like. Therefore, I’m afraid I can’t agree to this marriage

arrangement,” Dustin refused flatly.

“It’s alright. It’s common for men to have multiple wives. After marrying Grace, you can marry another woman.

There’s nothing wrong with that,” Valon said with a smile.

Grace frowned when she heard her father’s words but chose to remain silent. As a member of the royal family, she

was aware that she had no say in her marriage. It would be arranged based on political interests rather than her

preferences.

Simply put, she was just a pawn in consolidating the power of the royal family. Even if she were reluctant, she

wouldn’t be able to fight back.

In fact, marrying the Kirin was, in comparison to her sisters, already the most favorable outcome.
