"Logan Rhys?" Austin's declaration engulfed the scene with silence. Once upon a time, the Rhys family's Kirin was renowned throughout the world. However, he had disappeared ever since the turmoil in Aylka ten years ago. There had been no news of him since. Now, with his name suddenly brought up, everyone was astonished. "Your Highness, is this a joke? His Highness, Prince Logan, is still missing. No one knows where he is. It's utter nonsense to suggest him as the next Grand Marshal of West Lucozia!" Everett shrugged."That right, Your Highness. Let's be practical. It's better to rely on Grand General Rhys instead of pinning our hopes on Prince Logan," Shane chimed in.They had thought Austin was referring to himself, but he brought up someone who had been missing for ten years instead. It sounded like utter gibberish!"With Father's demise, Logan will definitely return. It would be perfectly reasonable for him to take up the position of Grand Marshal then!" Austin declared c

"Uncle Julius has harbored ambitions for years, lying low and waiting for the right moment. "With Father's sudden demise, he'll undoubtedly seize this opportunity to consolidate his power. This matter is far from over," Austin stated with a grave expression."You're absolutely right. Even if they yielded publicly, they'll resort to cunning schemes. We're likely to face numerous challenges ahead," Eloise sighed.If Rufus had not met such an abrupt end, these individuals wouldn't have dared to act so brazenly."If only Logan were here," Austin lamented."Austin, your abilities are no less than Logan's. I believe you can achieve what he accomplished as well," Eloise encouraged."Mom, I'm aware of my abilities. In many aspects, I still fall short compared to Logan." Austin shook his head."Don't underestimate yourself!"Eloise's voice turned serious. "Your father has passed away. After the funeral, I'll immediately report to the royal family for your ascension to the throne. "Yo

Meanwhile, at the castle gates, Julius and his entourage were walking out in haste. After they left the castle, Everett spoke up, "Grand General Rhys, Eloise, and her son are truly ungrateful. Are we simply going to let this matter slide?""Of course not, but we can't act too overtly either. Most commanders of the Black Dragon Army are loyal to the monarchy. "It won't be advantageous for us to start a conflict," Julius replied, his eyes narrowing. "Then, what should we do?" Everett asked again. "Since we can't make a move openly, we'll apply pressure on them discreetly."Julius stated meaningfully, "Once turmoil erupts in West Lucozia, and the monarchy faces imminent danger, they'll naturally realize who's the true pillar of support for the monarchy!" "I understand! I'll arrange for people to stir up trouble immediately. When the people's grievances peak and the monarchy can't manage, you'll emerge as their savior. "At that moment, West Lucozia's citizens will be grateful

That was the only way for the officials to maintain their current positions. Presently, the only person most qualified, capable, and powerful enough to succeed the Prince of West Lucozia was the Grand General of the Iron Stallion Cavalry, Julius Rhys.Firstly, being a Rhys, Julius was a legitimate member of the royal family, making his claim for the throne unquestionable. Secondly, as the Grand General of the Iron Stallion Cavalry, Julius commanded half of West Lucozia's military forces, wielding significant power.Thirdly, with years of accumulated strength, Julius possessed ample influence, prestige, and accomplishments to ascend to the throne.It wasn't an exaggeration to claim that everyone expected Julius to succeed Rufus. Right after offering their condolences, many officials rushed to the Grand General's residence to pledge their loyalty. These actions naturally didn't escape the monarchy's attention, but Eloise was in no state of mind to concern herself with such mat

"Logan?" Austin was stunned as he watched the man remove his mask, then his eyes lit up with joy.The man who infiltrated the castle was no stranger. It was Dustin, dressed in a guard's attire. "Austin, you've truly come far on your own. You can handle matters independently now," Dustin praised, a glint of pride in his eyes as he observed his step-brother.Having overheard Austin and Eloise's entire conversation, Dustin appreciated Austin's trust in him. He acknowledged Eloise's concerns as well. Throughout history, it wasn't uncommon for siblings and family members to vie for power. Eloise's protective instincts for her child were entirely justified."Logan, when did you return?" Austin asked. "Just two days ago," Dustin replied. "Do you already know what happened to Father?" Austin's voice trembled slightly.Dustin glanced at his father's picture near his coffin and nodded in silence. The last time they had met was back in Swinton a year ago. Little did they know that

"I really can't do it! Logan, the throne belongs to you!" Austin was growing anxious. "Alright, that's enough. We'll talk about this later. With so much trouble we're facing, our immediate priority is to resolve all these issues." Dustin changed the subject."Logan, as long as you take charge and stabilize the situation, I will assist you wholeheartedly!" Austin said with utmost sincerity."I can't show myself yet." Dustin shook his head and explained, "Julius and his group are still unaware of my return, so they are not on high alert. I can react in time if they harbor any ill intentions. "Not to mention, the remnants of the Dragon Guard are still lurking in the shadows. I need to find an opportunity to eliminate them all!" "I see."Austin quickly grasped the situation and said, "I understand. I will act as the spokesperson of the monarchy while you unravel all the conspiracies.""Good, it's settled then." Dustin nodded."Oh, right. There's this." Austin suddenly took o

"Are you suggesting that someone is inciting the simultaneous rebellion of the Four Sovereigns?" Eloise frowned."That's right!" Austin continued with a solemn expression. "Currently, only one person can make the Four Sovereigns obey orders in West Lucozia." "Julius!" Eloise blurted out. "Uncle Julius is an ambitious man and is adept at scheming. He intends to force us to surrender the military insignia through the Four Sovereigns." Austin narrowed his eyes as he analyzed the situation. "If we refuse, the Four Sovereigns would start a rebellion, compelling us to deploy troops to quell the unrest. "At that point, he will interfere and hinder our military campaign to ensure we fail. Once our military campaign fails, our prestige will be greatly damaged. "When public outcry reaches its peak, he will emerge as the savior, rescuing the people from turmoil and subduing the Four Sovereigns successfully. "By then, he will be hailed by the masses and become an uncrowned king.

Summitville was a border town in West Lucozia. It was also the Marquis of Sunfire, Wyatt Mitchell's territory. Wyatt was a military general and had fought alongside the Prince of West Lucozia for many years. He achieved numerous merits and was later given the title Marquis of Sunfire, entrusted with guarding the border of West Lucozia. Over the years, he had been diligent and responsible in his duties.Right then, a black SUV came to a stop at the entrance of the Marquis of Sunfire's residence. Dustin, Austin, and a few other people stepped out of the vehicle. "Logan, this is the Marquis of Sunfire, Wyatt Mitchell's residence." Austin introduced Wyatt briefly. "Wyatt is a loyal and valiant person and has been managing Summitville for many years. He is extremely dedicated in his work." "Who's there sneaking around outside?" two guards standing at the entrance quickly noticed the anomaly and shouted.Austin took the lead and approached them, presenting his identification bad

"Your Highness, you mustn't speak such nonsense." Langdon put on a righteous front.He continued, "I've always prided myself on my integrity and never done anything dishonorable. I've never betrayed the prince's trust or let the people down, and I have nothing to hide.""Such lofty words," Austin scoffed. "If you have nothing to hide, why not let the enforcement team investigate?"Langdon's face tightened, and a flicker of unease crossed his eyes. After all, what official didn't have some skeletons in the closet? A full investigation would likely turn up something, no matter how small. Even if the offenses weren't serious, the damage to his reputation would be permanent.With so many officials watching, Langdon couldn't afford to back down. If he did, he would lose his standing in the political world—and his claim to integrity along with it."Go ahead and investigate." He raised his chin and said confidently, "I've lived an honest life and never engaged in anything illegal. No m

Austin sat in his chair and silently watched the royal advisors put on their pretentious act. He slowly sipped his tea as if he couldn't be bothered by their so-called accusations.His nonchalant demeanor made Langdon and the others frown. Their once-outrageous voices began to falter.They had stormed in full of righteous fury earlier, only to be met with complete apathy. What was the point of arguing when he wasn't even listening?"Are you done?" Austin finally spoke once the room had quieted down. "If not, go ahead and keep talking. Say as much as you need to until you're satisfied.""Your Highness, we're here to discuss serious matters. Your dismissive attitude is truly disappointing," Langdon said sharply."Serious matters?" Austin let out a short laugh.He went on, "You barge in here without even understanding the full picture and spewing accusations like they're facts. As far as I'm concerned, you're no different from clowns putting on a show.""You… How dare you!" Langdon

"Are you even qualified to sit while speaking to me?"Austin's words struck like the blow of a hammer. They were sharp and unrelenting, and they left no room for retort.Langdon sat frozen and was momentarily speechless. He hadn't expected a brat like Austin to have such a sharp tongue.If he admitted he had come for personal matters, he would keep his pride intact, but he would lose control of the conversation. Everything he had prepared—and all the accusations he meant to throw—would be meaningless.But if he insisted it was official business, he would have to show proper respect and offer a formal greeting. No matter how he answered, he would be conceding ground."I'll ask one more time. Are you here on official or personal matters?" Austin asked coldly."O-Official matters." Cornered, Langdon barely managed to get the words out."Well? Is this how an official conducts himself?" Austin pressed.Langdon had no choice but to rise and offer a deep bow. "Your Highness, it's an h

After a night of chaos, some of the Red Legion's members were killed, others were captured, and the entire force had been wiped out.But the fallout didn't stop there. The Prescott estate was also raided. All embezzled wealth was confiscated, and those found guilty were thrown into prison.Anyone connected to the Prescotts was placed under house arrest and subjected to rigorous investigation.And the man behind it—Warrick—had become the kingdom's most wanted fugitive.Until he was captured, Celestria remained under lockdown. Major roads were sealed off, and patrol teams scoured every corner to ensure Warrick had no way out.Austin's crackdown sparked outrage among senior officials who didn't know the full story. They voiced their dissatisfaction, with some even gathering outside the castle gates in protest. They stomped their feet in outrage, just short of openly cursing him.To them, Warrick had made great contributions to the nation. Even if he had committed crimes, he didn't d

Austin's words were calm and almost casual. Yet, they struck like thunder and echoed in the hearts of the three assistant generals of the Red Legion.If they answered Austin's questions, there might still be a slim chance of survival. But if they refused, death was the only outcome.After all, who would willingly choose death when they had worked so hard to achieve their wealth and status? Yet, pride and dignity held them back. They didn't want to be branded as traitors.Now, they were caught in a dilemma. Which was more important—their honor or their lives? It was an impossible choice."You have ten seconds left. If you don't speak, you'll lose your chance." Austin's voice was utterly devoid of emotion.His words seemed to pierce their souls, and the three Red Legion assistant generals broke into a cold sweat.As the countdown neared its end, Auron finally couldn't hold back. "Your Highness! I'll talk—I'll tell you everything."Dropping to his knees, he scrambled forward and wa

Axel swallowed hard, shock written all over his face. He had always known the Draken Guardians were formidable, but he had never expected them to be this lethal.He had pushed himself to his limit just to hold his own against Connor and Dave, only to end up seriously wounded. Yet, when the Draken Guardians arrived, they wiped them out—along with several dozen Red Legion soldiers—without losing a single man.If Axel hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that the Red Legion, a force renowned for its elite soldiers, could be so easily crushed. Or perhaps it wasn't that the Red Legion was weak, but that the Draken Guardians were far stronger than anyone had imagined.Even their most ordinary members were strong enough to become a mighty general. As for those at the level of captain, their strength was far beyond Axel's. The lethality of a team made up of such skilled experts had reached the point of being an overwhelming force."Mr. Cruz, please arrange some

"Damn it! This punk's tougher than I thought. We're in real trouble if this keeps up," Connor said, swinging his twin blades relentlessly. Every strike was aimed at Axel's vital points.But Axel was quick. He weaved in and out of reach and avoided direct confrontation. It was obvious he was just stalling for time."Sir Prescott should be far enough by now. There's no point dragging this out. Let's fall back."Sensing the futility of their efforts, Dave considered retreating. He didn't fear death, but he wasn't about to waste his life for nothing.Since Warrick had escaped, their interception mission was also completed."You guys hold him off. The rest of you, fall back with me."Connor was decisive. Realizing they weren't making any progress, he quickly ordered a retreat and left a few decoys behind to buy time.They had barely run a hundred yards when a wave of soldiers suddenly appeared at the alley's entrance. Hundreds, maybe even thousands, filled the narrow space and comple

"This punk's a real pain in the ass!"Connor glanced over his shoulder and noticed Axel was still hot on their trail.The squad he had sent to intercept Axel was completely outmaneuvered, and they couldn't get anywhere near him.To Connor's dismay, Axel kept shooting off signal flares as he pursued them. Each flare gave away their position. At this rate, it didn't matter which direction they ran—they were bound to be intercepted."Connor! Dave! Make a move and swat that damn fly," Warrick ordered decisively."If we leave, who's going to protect you?" Connor hesitated.Warrick was in bad shape. Without them guarding him, a single attack from an expert could be fatal."If you don't take out that fly, I'll be in even more danger. Get moving now!" Warrick snapped."Yes, sir!"Connor and Dave exchanged a glance before splitting up with their squads to surround Axel.They both knew what was at stake. If they didn't take Axel down quickly, their entire force would be stranded and do

"Kill them all!"At Warrick's command, the Red Legion charged without hesitation. Blades flashed as they stormed toward the elite enforcement unit.This time, nearly a thousand Red Legion soldiers arrived. With their sheer numbers, they launched a pincer attack from both flanks, leaving the enemy with no way to fend it off."Form the Shield Formation!" Axel shouted upon seeing the dire situation. His men immediately sheathed their blades and raised their shields to form a defensive line. Their pursuit had cut them off from the main force. Since they were up against an enemy ten times their size, forming a defensive line was their best option.If they could stall for even a moment, reinforcements from the castle would arrive, and the tide would turn in their favor. Once that happened, the thousand-strong Red Legion would be the ones on the defensive.After a brief charge, the two forces collided.Warrick had personally trained the Red Legion. He selected only the most loyal and
