Taking a moment to gather his thoughts, Dustin replied, "Your Majesty, I haven't had the chance to interact with the princes. Thus, I lack the familiarity needed for a fair evaluation. Please, forgive me." "It's alright if you're not familiar with them. Let me provide you with more insights," Valon said. He wasn't one to back down and continued, "My eldest son possesses a calm temperament and grew up learning the ways of governance next to me. "While he may not be able to expand our territory, he is more than capable of safeguarding what we have now. "Unfortunately, his frail health and persistent illnesses make him unsuited as a ruler." By the end of it, Valon let out a sigh. His eldest son would be considered a wise ruler, but unfortunately, he didn't have a King's destiny. A prophecy had predicted that his eldest son wouldn't live past 36. If he passed the throne to him, he would probably meet his end within a few years of the taxing work. "If the eldest Prince isn't

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

"Your Majesty, forgive me for being direct, but I don't agree with you," Dustin said.He continued seriously, "While it might be normal for you to have multiple wives, in my view, a monogamous marriage is the only way to go. "Not to mention, a loveless marriage is a dead marriage. I don't wish to put myself or another person in that situation." Grace was surprised at Dustin's words and seemed to look at him in a different light after that. Most powerful and influential men in Oakvale had multiple women. The remaining minority either had wives from influential backgrounds, making it unwise to cheat publicly, or struggled with impotence.It was rare to find men like Dustin who had self-control and refrained from engaging in improper relationships. "Logan, do you not like Grace? Or do you think that she is not worthy of you?" Valon probed. His daughter dominated the Beauty Ranking. She was at the top, whether in terms of looks or talents. Countless young talents across the lan

Dustin frowned slightly. "Then, who do you think is most suitable to be the next ruler among your brothers?"Trying to get me to talk now, huh?" Grace chuckled lightly. "Since Father presented this question to you, you should find the answer yourself. I won't be able to help.""You're pretty incompetent as a Regal Observatory disciple!" Dustin shook his head helplessly.The nation's fate was going to be impacted by choosing a successor. Dustin never expected such a heavy responsibility to fall on his shoulders. The key matter was that no matter who he chose, he would inevitably offend the other powerful princes. He would land himself in trouble if that were to happen. "There's no need to be so anxious. Father gave you time to think about it. You can observe them carefully before deciding which prince has better potential or perhaps aligns better with the West Lucozian monarchy," Grace said meaningfully. "What a bother." Dustin sighed. He could feel a headache coming on."Oh

"Mr. Dyer, may I know why Prince Tristan has invited me at this hour?" Dustin feigned ignorance. "His Royal Highness heard you'd returned to Oakvale and is eager to catch up. Today is a beautiful night to have a conversation over drinks," Milton said with his head lowered. "Mr. Dyer, can we do this another day? I'm truly exhausted tonight and only wish to get back home and get some rest. I promise to visit another day," Dustin responded respectfully. This statement was not a lie. He had several intense battles that day and was still nursing significant injuries. He was genuinely longing for a good night's sleep. However, it seemed like fate had other plans. First, it was Grace, then the King, and now even Tristan's men were inviting him over. They were not allowing him even a moment's rest."Your Highness, Prince Tristan has prepared some food and is waiting in the mansion. If you feel tired, why not meet Prince Tristan first before resting there? I will make the necessary a

Right then, Grace and Dustin walked in together. "Tristan …" Grace said. Tristan stood up to greet them with a smile. "Long time no see, Grace."He then turned to Dustin and said, "I'm guessing this must be Logan. It's been ten years. You've changed so much. I almost couldn't recognize you.""Greetings, Your Royal Highness." Dustin bowed."There's no need for such formalities. We're cousins, after all." Tristan immediately went and straightened Dustin's back. "Come, have a seat. Just make yourself at home.""Thank you, Your Royal Highness.""Thank you, Tristan."Dustin and Grace took a seat after thanking him."Logan, I'm sorry for ushering you here at this hour, but some things just cannot be delayed. I hope you understand," Tristan took the initiative to apologize, showing great courtesy. "There's no need to apologize, Prince Tristan." Dustin smiled faintly. "It's an honor to be a guest at your residence."Tristan was about to say something when he saw Grace beside

The Celestial Eye was one of the three greatest sacred relics of the martial world. It shared a similar reputation with the Celestial Pearl and was a priceless treasure countless individuals dreamed of possessing. The Celestial Eye was an extraordinarily mystical item with infinite uses. It could not only see through all kinds of illusions, but it could also break through numerous intricate spells. For example, one could immediately tell if they were trapped in an illusion or ensnared by a spell. Not only that, it was also useful during battles. It could discern all of the enemy's attacks. Not only that, it could also see through their weaknesses and lethal moves. Plus, it was an advantageous item to have during treasure hunting. It could tell if something was a treasure, its exact value, and its precise location. The Celestial Eye would reveal them all.Dustin never expected Tristan to possess such a treasure."You have a good eye, Logan!" Tristan exclaimed. He continued with a s

"I've been frail and ailing since childhood and can't deal with taxing work, not to mention trekking through mountains or waters, " Tristan explained. "Besides, I'm just a scholar. Why would I need the Dracan essence to enhance my cultivation? "Stop hesitating and just take it. You're the future King of West Lucozia and a pillar of our nation. The stronger you become, the more prosperous our country will be. "If I get the chance to inherit the throne, I will share the world with you, and together, we will create glory!"Tristan patted Dustin's shoulder with a smile, his last sentence implying a clear message. Since Dustin had accepted his treasure, he should support Tristan's ascension to the throne, and it would be a mutually advantageous situation."Prince Tristan, I appreciate your generosity. Thank you," Dustin said. Since Tristan had already put it that way, Dustin couldn't find another reason to decline. But the main reason was because the Celestial Eye would help him g
