"Uncle Lincon, thank you for worrying about me. I'm indeed still alive." Dustin nodded.Dustin didn't know about Lincon's past. Thus, he felt a bit taken aback by how emotional Lincon got."It's a good thing that you're still alive!" Lincon was both surprised and happy. "Ten years have passed so quickly. You've gotten so tall. I almost didn't manage to recognize you.""That's right. It's been ten years. A lot of things are different now," Dustin replied with a sigh.Ten years ago, his mother passed away, and his father was also assassinated ten years later.Over the course of ten years, both of his parents were no longer around. It was a tragic fact."Uncle Lincon, you said you would fully support the monarchy if you met Logan. Now that you've seen my eldest brother, you won't go back on your word, right?" Austin tried asking."If His Highness is willing to inherit the throne, I'll support him to ascend the throne even if I have to sacrifice myself!" Lincon replied earnestly.C

"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!""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 happ

It was late at night, and a large number of armed soldiers formed a human wall outside the castle, surrounding it.A dense crowd stood outside the castle, easily numbering tens of thousands!These were only the vanguard forces. There was still a team of armed military forces outside of the castle.They were the soldiers of the Northern Four Sovereigns. Among them were also Julius' guards.However, they had disguised themselves to blend in. Meanwhile, Eloise was wearing mourning clothes and a hat inside the castle. She had an indifferent expression as she stood outside the gate.She was also holding a sharp sword. This caused her to look formidable and full of killing intent.As the princess consort, she stepped forward unhesitatingly at the most critical moment. She stood alone at the forefront.Jaxon stood behind her, along with Draken Guardians dressed in combat gear.Although there were not many of them, they were the most powerful force in the monarchy.Behind the Draken

The heavy castle door was banged on relentlessly, and the noise echoed with a resounding impact.Each strike resembled the blow of a giant hammer, resonating deeply in the hearts of everyone within."Open the door!" Eloise shouted, ordering the servants to open the door.The unexpected move caused the soldiers attempting to break in to be completely baffled. They had no idea why Eloise would do such a thing.At this time, it made more sense for Eloise to close the door and defend till the end. Thus, they wondered why Eloise took the initiative to open the door.Perhaps there was a trap inside."Draven, Atticus, Mortimer, Ignatius, come out!" Eloise called out while holding her sword.The soldiers outside were reluctant to approach because of her formidable presence. The four names she called out were the Northern Four Sovereigns, the main forces behind the rebellion."What's the matter? Do you guys not dare to admit what you've done? Are you guys just a bunch of cowards?" See

"The only way into the castle is over my dead body!" With a huge sword in her hand, Eloise stood alone with great courage at the main entrance to defend the castle. She wasn't actually a strong fighter. At most, she could pass as a divine-level martial artist. However, her current presence was stronger than that of a grandmaster.The common soldiers and even Draven were stunned. His brow was locked in a deep frown, and he didn't dare to move. The only thing he could do was to look at the three other sovereigns.Threats and the palace revolution aside, they needed a valid reason to attack Eloise. If they didn't, the people would protest and turn against them. They surrounded the castle in the name of staking out the killer. They'd be able to get off the hook if they acted a little brashly. They could use overwhelming sadness and being overly emotional as their excuse for their rude behavior.However, they'd never be able to explain themselves if the princess died in the revolt.

Eloise was delighted to see her son's safe return. However, her happiness was soon replaced with gloominess. She quickly realized that Austin came back with the same number of people and didn't bring extra military support."Did he fail?" Eloise frowned slightly, and her heart was getting heavier by the minute. Their only hope was to get military support from the Southern Four Sovereigns. Only then could they fight the Northern Four Sovereigns. From the looks of it, things were not looking up."How dare you! Who gave you permission to enter and search the castle? Are you courting death?" Austin shouted. His voice was as loud as thunder, and everyone present could hear him. It was almost deafening. The soldiers under the leadership of the four sovereigns were suddenly afraid to move."Oh, it's Prince Austin. You have returned." Draven let out a short laugh. He added, "We, the Four Sovereigns, have discovered that the killer is in the castle. To avenge Prince Rufus, we need to

"Fuck!" Austin was suddenly filled with anger when he saw the fully armed soldiers rushing in. He no longer had any mercy for them as he charged forward with his sword in hand. He had already achieved the grandmaster status, and with his experience in the battlefields, he was ready for action. He stormed ahead with determination and courage."Protect the Crown Prince! Charge!" Eloise pointed her sword toward the sky. The Draken Guardians behind her quickly withdrew their weapons."Charge!" Waving his longsword, Jaxon led the Draken Guardians into the battlefield. The Draken Guardians might be a small team, but each member was a trained elite fighter. They were an invincible force under the guidance of a grandmaster, Jaxon. The team of around a hundred was like a sharp and long knife. It didn't matter if their opponent's numbers were in the tens of thousands as they'd be able to besiege the core of the army.The Four Sovereigns retreated under the protection of the royal guards

Just when Ignatius got ready to speak, he pointed to a direction while narrowing his eyes and shouted in surprise, "Look! What is that?"The others looked in the direction he was pointing. They saw a dark object in the sky heading straight down, and it crashed in the middle of their troops.The explosion was deafening, and everything quaked as dust rose. There was a gigantic wave of energy spreading outward from the point of explosion like tsunami waves. The energy wave left a trail of destruction and painful moans wherever it passed. This attack killed and wounded at least a few hundred soldiers."The fuck! What the hell was that?" Draven squinted his eyes. He couldn't see what attacked them due to the thick clouds of dust."Could it be a meteorite?" Atticus sounded a little confused."A shooting star? How could there be such a coincidence?" Mortimer refused to believe it."I can see it clearly now! It's a person!" Ignatius had good vision and pointed at where the object fell.

"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
