“Matthias…” Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, Grace was about to speak up.

However, Dustin spoke first, “I would appear rather ungrateful if I didn’t show my appreciation for your generosity.

Very well, I’ll accept all these treasures!”

“Huh?” Grace was stunned and swallowed back her words.

What was going on? What was Dustin thinking?

First, he accepted Tristan’s gift, promising to back him in the shadows, and now he was accepting Matthias’

treasures without hesitation. What an opportunist! Was the West Lucozian Crown Prince that weak against

temptations?

“Hahaha… Great! You’re really candid! “Matthias laughed heartily when Dustin agreed.

“Guards! Pack up everything here and send them to Logan’s residence later!”

“Thank you for your generosity, Prince Matthias!” Dustin bowed in gratitude.

“It’s nothing.” Matthias chuckled.

He then changed the subject, “But speaking of which, did Father really not bring up anything special during your

conversation?”

Hearing this, Dustin glanced around and hesitated. Matthias caught on immediately and ordered, “All of you, leave

us. We’re going to have a private conversation.”

“Right away, Your Royal Highness!” Everyone responded and left one after another. Matthias then turned to Grace.

“Grace, go and get some rest in the next hall.”

“Alright.” Grace cast a doubtful glance at Dustin before leaving.

“Logan, it’s only us left. You’re free to speak your mind,” Matthias said.

Dustin closed the door and lowered his voice. He spoke mysteriously, “Prince Matthias, I’ll be honest with you. His

Majesty did indeed tell me a secret. However, it’s an important matter and concerns the fate of the nation, so you

mustn’t leak this information.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll keep it a secret!” Matthias promised, patting his chest. While he was aware that Dustin had a

private discussion with his father and brother, the specifics remained unknown to him.

However, he was certain it was an important discussion that would determine the future political landscape. That

was why he spared no expense in buying Dustin off, determined to be one step ahead.

“Prince Matthias, His Majesty has been in poor health lately and is considering abdication. However, His Majesty has

yet to decide on a rightful successor, and this has been troubling him deeply.

“The reason he had asked to see me was to seek my opinion on identifying the most fitting heir for the throne,”

Dustin whispered.

“Heir to the throne?” Matthias’ gaze sharpened, his attention now fully captured. Matthias had been right. His

father was gravely ill and had to decide on the rightful successor. He must have sought Logan’s opinion due to the

West Lucozian monarchy’s influence.

“Logan, how did you respond?” Matthias was both nervous and hopeful. He believed he would be favored by his

father for his courage and outstanding achievements.

“Each of the royal princes has their own strengths, so I wasn’t able to decide either. His Majesty had asked me to

consider it carefully before giving him an answer.” Dustin put on a troubled front.

“Logan, my brother!” Matthias suddenly became excited and grabbed Dustin’s hand.

His eyes gleamed as he continued, “We hit it off from the moment we met. Although we’re not related by blood,

our bond is stronger than that of real brothers. If I were to contend for the throne, you would surely support me

wholeheartedly, wouldn’t you?
