Austin’s words were powerful and filled with emotion. The potential chaos in West Lucozia

would undoubtedly affect not only the Eight Sovereigns but also numerous high-ranking

officials and millions of citizens.

They all grew up in West Lucozia, and it was where their roots were. That was why anyone

with a sense of patriotism could never turn a blind eye.

“Your Highness, your reasoning is sound, but I’m a timid and cautious person. I tend to

weigh the consequences carefully.

“What if my forces suffer heavy losses while quelling the rebellion? What happens then?”

Tyrus appeared hesitant.

“Uncle Tyrus, I can assure you that if you incur any losses, we will compensate you

twofold!” Austin declared earnestly.

He understood that Tyrus was seeking tangible benefits. After all, this was a gamble with

his entire wealth, and the potential losses could be substantial. His actions seemed

reasonable, given the circumstances.

“Your Highness, it’s not that I don’t trust you. But in matters like this, words alone may not

suffice,” Tyrus said, sending a hint.

“Uncle Tyrus, feel free to ask for anything. I won’t refuse you as long as it’s within my

means,” Austin asserted confidently, showcasing his sincerity.

“Very well. Your words have reassured me.”

Tyrus smiled faintly. “In truth, I don’t seek soldiers or wealth. My only concern is for my

daughter. She’s 25 years old this year and hasn’t found a suitable match. It would be a

blessing if she could marry you, Your Highness.”

“Marry me?” Austin raised his eyebrows in surprise.

“That’s right.” Tyrus nodded with a smile.

“My daughter, Danielle, may not be the most beautiful, but she possesses charm and

intelligence. If you marry her, I believe you’ll gain an excellent companion.”

He possessed wealth and influence and only lacked supreme power. The recent demise of

the Prince of West Lucozia made Austin the likely successor to the throne.

If his daughter married Austin, she would become the Princess of West Lucozia, elevating

Tyrus’ status significantly. By then, he would be the strongest among the Eight Sovereigns.

“Uncle Tyrus, I don’t exactly have the best reputation. I’m afraid it might be unfair for your

daughter,” Austin said tactfully.

“Your Highness, your talents in both literary and military affairs are exceptional. My

daughter has admired you for a long time. Marrying you would be an honor for her.”

Tyrus continued earnestly, “Once our families are united through marriage, we will stand

together through thick and thin.

“Regardless of the challenges the monarchy faces, I will offer my assistance

wholeheartedly, even if it means sacrificing my life or risking my entire fortune!”

“I .” Austin frowned slightly, unsure of how to respond. Tyrus’ conditions had exceeded his

expectations.

“Your Highness, since Sir Storm is unwilling to support us, perhaps we should consider

other options,” Dustin whispered. Although Tyrus’ assistance was crucial, Dustin didn’t

wish to gamble away his brother’s happiness.

“Your Highness, please take your time to think about it. I’m not forcing you,” Tyrus said

with a shrug.

“There’s no need for that. I agree!” After a moment of contemplation, Austin finally

nodded.

“Can I take your word for it?” Tyrus’ eyes lit up.

“I may not be a gentleman, but I’m a man of my word,” Austin said solemnly.

“This is great! I admire your commitment, Your Highness!” Tyrus exclaimed. “Let’s not

delay any longer. To enhance our cooperation, how about we formalize the engagement

now?”
