Austin’s plan was simple. The initial approach involved diplomacy before resorting to force, primarily focusing on
persuasion and amnesty.
If the four rebelling sovereigns were willing to submit to the monarchy, they would be pardoned and their existing
positions of power safeguarded.
However, if diplomatic efforts failed, they had to resort to force to suppress the rebellion. In that case, the
monarchy would join forces with the other Four Sovereigns and West Lucozia’s allied powers to eliminate the
traitors and quell the rebellion.
If war became inevitable, then a swift resolution would be their best option. After hearing Austin’s plan, Wyatt
nodded solemnly and said, “The power and influence I have today were bestowed by your father.
“Whether it’s to deploy troops to quell the rebellion or offer my own life, I will not hesitate!”
“Uncle Wyatt, your commitment is deeply appreciated. With your support, we will certainly overcome this crisis!”
Austin responded.
Offering more than mere words, Wyatt took out his military insignia and handed it over. “This is my marquis badge.
With it, you can command the troops of Summitville at your discretion.”
Austin hesitated for a moment, not expecting Wyatt to hand over his insignia without hesitation. The act itself spoke
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtvolumes about Waytt’s loyalty.
“Don’t refuse. In times of urgency, extraordinary measures are necessary. My marquis badge will help your plans,
“Wyatt insisted, pressing the insignia into Austin’s hands.
“Uncle Wyatt, your sense of duty is truly admirable!”
Expressing his gratitude, Austin affirmed, “Once we get through this hurdle, I’ll make sure to have a proper visit to
convey my gratitude.”
“Alright, enough with the formalities. Time is of the essence. I won’t keep you here any longer. Go now.” Wyatt
waved his hand.
“Farewell, Uncle Wyatt.” With a respectful bow, Austin left with his entourage. Their first stop of the night unfolded
unexpectedly smoothly. In just half an hour, they secured Wyatt’s support and obtained a marquis badge to
command his troops.
It would be great if they could maintain this momentum.
“It’s been years since I last saw Uncle Wyatt. Even though he’s doing better, his loyalty remains,” Austin mused as
they left Wyatt’s residence.
“Rufus has been in control of West Lucozia for many years, earning the people’s respect. While a few ambitious
individuals have lurked within, the majority are loyal and valiant,” Dustin remarked.
“You’re right. With Father’s authority, if he had continued to govern West Lucozia, there would have been lasting
peace. What a pity .” Austin shook his head.
Whether it was Julius or the four rebelling sovereigns, West Lucoiza remained peaceful over the years due to their
fear of their father.
Now that their father had passed away, these individuals had nothing left to fear, and their ambitions were
beginning to surface.
“Where to next?” Dustin asked.
“Based on the optimal route, our next destination would be Quintonia to meet the Marquis of Ravenwood, Tyrus
Storm,” Austin responded.
“Let’s go.” Dustin nodded. Without another word, they got into the car and left.
The Four Sovereigns each guarded a city and had substantial military forces under their command. In the past, they
only answered to their father and no one else.
With Rufus’ demise, it would not be easy to persuade the Four Sovereigns to send their troops to quell the chaos,
given their status.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
In the early hours of the morning, their vehicle entered Quintonia and finally stopped before the Marquis of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRavenwood’s mansion.
Tyrus Strom, the Marquis of Ravenwood, was also an influential figure. Having fought alongside Rufus in his youth,
Tyrus was etched with scars that had earned him his current glory.
“Austin, I’m familiar with Tyrus. Unlike Wyatt, who is loyal and valiant, he’s more shrewd, with the mind of a savvy
businessman. Convincing him to offer full support won’t be easy,” Dustin cautioned.
“Logan, I know what to do. I’ll do whatever it takes to persuade him,” Austin declared determinedly.
“Good. Execute your plan when the time is right.” Dustin nodded.
Austin approached the mansion and took out his identification badge, prompting a stir. Then, the guards swiftly
ushered them inside.
Seated in the main hall, attendants graciously presented pastries and tea. After a brief wait, the Marquis of
Ravenwood, Tyrus, finally entered wearing his pajamas.
“Oh, Your Highness, what brings you here?” Tyrus feigned surprise upon seeing Austin.
“Uncle Tyrus, my apologies for the early visit, but I have something urgent to discuss,” Austin apologized.
“Your Highness, are you facing difficulties?” Tyrus asked.
“Indeed, significant difficulties…” Austin proceeded to explain the entire situation in detail.
After listening, Tyrus was shocked.”
