“Your Highness?” Cinna kneeled on the ground, observing the frosty Dustin with mixed feelings. Cinna
felt joy at the sight of Dustin but also carried a profound sense of guilt.
When the Black Dragon Army ambushed Cinna, he realized the dire state of the Dragon Guard. As
anticipated, a retaliatory scheme ensued, resulting in the destruction of the Dragon Guard’s base and
the death of Reagan.
Yet now, Cinna found himself in captivity. Surprisingly, he bore no grudges. Instead, a feeling of relief
swept over him.
Despite being a part of the Dragon Guard, West Lucozia had been his home for countless years, with
many individuals becoming like family.
His actions, often driven by necessity, had led to an ongoing internal conflict. His current situation
seemed like a fitting consequence.
“Cinna, I bet this isn’t how you saw things playing out. Reagan didn’t make it, and neither did your plan.
What do you have to say now?” Dustin said coldly.
“I have no words in the presence of defeat. If you decide to proceed with my execution, I’ll accept it. My
only wish is that you spare the innocent,” Cinna pleaded.

“I’ve committed a crime worthy of death, but my wife and daughter are innocent. They’ve done nothing
wrong.
I beg you, please spare them,” Cinna pleaded, humbling himself and bowing before him.
“They are innocent, yet as a consequence of your deeds, they now carry the weight of your sins. Do
you honestly think your family can escape unharmed after committing such heinous acts?” Dustin
remained indifferent.
“Your Highness, I’m willing to make amends.” Cinna bowed desperately, displaying a palpable unease
in his demeanor.
He added, “I am at your disposal for any service you may require, as long as you spare my family. I’ll
do anything!”
His fear extended beyond personal well -being. His primary focus was safeguarding his family. The
betrayal and choices he made were prompted by Reagan’s ruthless strategy of taking his wife and
daughter hostage.
“Make amends? I’d like to hear how you plan to do that. How will you serve me?” Dustin inquired.
Cinna lowered his head and said, “The Dragon Guard boasts a robust and well- established influence.
“In Dragonmarsh, three treasuries hold immense riches amassed over many decades, akin to the
wealth of a small nation.
“I am prepared to disclose the whereabouts of all three treasuries, provided you spare my family.”
“Treasuries?” Dustin raised an eyebrow, showing a hint of interest.
The long-standing supremacy of the Dragon Guard suggested significant wealth. So, if he could
acquire it, the Black Dragon Army would secure substantial funds for many years.
“Logan, this seems like a good deal to me. I believe it’s justifiable to exchange a handful of
inconsequential lives for wealth that can compete with a nation’s.” Austin persuaded his brother.
“Tell me the locations of the treasuries. If what you say is true, I can consider sparing your family and
even grant them a life of luxury,” Dustin said nonchalantly.
“Thank you, Your Highness!” Cinna bowed repeatedly.
“Don’t get too excited. While I might spare your family, I have no intention of sparing you. Your actions

As an undercover agent of the Dragon Guard, Cinna not only betrayed Dustin but also played a part in
the Aylka incident, making him an accomplice to the murder of Dustin’s mother.
The grudge ran deep, and the vendetta was personal.
“I understand. I carry the weight of my wrongdoings, and my demise is justified. As long as my family is
safe, I’m ready to face the consequences,” Cinna declared earnestly.
Despite his numerous misdeeds, he held no remorse, as everything he did was for the sake of his wife
and daughter.
“Good! I’ll give you another chance.” Dustin nodded.
“Now, tell me the exact locations of the treasuries.”
“I’m not certain about the precise whereabouts of the treasuries, but I know Reagan had a treasure
map.
“This map details the exact positions of the three treasuries. Once you find the map, you’ll find them,”
Cinna replied.
