“Well…” Dustin furrowed his brow, seemingly hesitating.
“Your Highness!” Lincon suddenly clasped his hands and claimed, “I’m willing to help you
with anything you face.
“If you trust me, let me handle this for you. I will secretly contact those loyal ministers and
gather them. When the timing is right, we’ll surely assist you. You only need to give us a
call!”
“You’re indeed a righteous person. I respect you for that!” Austin couldn’t help but praise.
“If that’s the case, thank you.” Dustin clasped his hands back at him.
“It’s my pleasure to be able to do something for you,” Lincon replied.
“Sir Blaze, something bad has happened!” a guard ran inside and shouted. “We got the
news that soldiers have surrounded West Lucozian castle.
The monarchy is in a dire situation!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“What? It’s being surrounded?” Austin and Dustin’s expressions went grim when they
heard that.
They were only out of the castle for two days. However, they didn’t expect a change to
happen so quickly.
“What happened? Tell us in detail!” Austin asked anxiously.
The guard took a look at Lincon. After his superior nodded in approval, he continued, “The
Northern Four Sovereigns led a team of elite soldiers to infiltrate the castle last night. All
castle guards at the rank of colonel and above were held hostage.
“The entire military force is immobilized. The Northern Four Sovereigns used the excuse of
saving the country in times of danger to besiege the castle.
“They claimed to be purging traitors to avenge the late prince. In reality, they’re just
trying to seize power!”
Austin was so angry that he slammed the table. “How dare all of them! How could they
surround the castle with their soldiers? They’re going too far!”
Austin thought the most the Northern Four Sovereigns could do was a siege to put
pressure on them.
He didn’t expect that they would be so ruthless. The Northern Four Sovereigns had pulled
the rug out from under them!
If the monarchy fell and Julius got the military insignia, it was over for them!
“It seems like Julius is well-prepared.” Dustin furrowed his brow and fell into deep thought.
This unexpected move indeed caught them off guard. Dustin planned to ally with the
Southern Four Sovereigns and persuade some loyal ministers to go against Julius.
However, he didn’t expect Julius to go ahead of them and took complete control. There
would be severe consequences once the monarchy fell!
“Dustin, what should we do now?” Austin was a bit anxious.
“There’s no time to think. We have to return quickly and resolve the monarchy’s crisis,”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDustin said in a low voice.
“But the soldiers we have now are not enough to go against Julius. Even if Uncle Lincon
and the others help us, it’ll take time for them to mobilize their troops. We might not have
enough time.” Austin furrowed his brow.
“We don’t have a choice. All we can do now is take a gamble!”
Then, Dustin looked at Lincon and said seriously, “Uncle Lincon, please contact my
father’s previous military department and aid the monarchy with the other three marquis.
I will try to buy time until support comes!”
“Your Highness, isn’t this too risky?” Lincon frowned.
“We’ve already lost the chance to act first. Thus, we have to take this risk.” Dustin lowered
his back and said seriously, “Uncle Lincon, I’ll have to count on you for everything that
comes afterward!”
“I’ll… definitely not disappoint you!” Lincon nodded.
“Thank you.” After glancing at Austin, Dustin said, “Let’s go back to the castle and meet
Julius!”
