“Someone, bring me some paper and pen!” Tyrus was impatient and immediately ordered his men to bring him these materials to establish a marriage contract.
After all, an opportunity like this was extremely rare. Once his daughter married into the monarchy and became the future princess, his grandchildren could possibly become the next Prince of West Lucozia.
This gamble was advantageous to him, no matter how he saw it. It would bring him unprecedented wealth and power.
“Wait! Your Highness, this is a major life event. You must think about it carefully,” Dustin reminded Austin.
“Hmm?” Tyrus frowned, feeling displeased.
How dare a mere guard voice their opinion? He should be well aware of his place! Tyrus would have disciplined him much earlier if it had been his men.
“It’s fine. I’ve already made a decision.”
Austin smiled at Dustin and said, ” Uncle Tyrus’ daughter is a beautiful and intelligent woman. I consider myself fortunate to be able to marry her. How could I possibly refuse such a generous offer?”
“Your Highness, you have a discerning eye!” Tyrus praised him.
“Your Highness…”
Dustin was about to speak when Tyrus interrupted him sternly, “The nerve! How dare you interfere in your master’s affairs? Show some respect!”
Dustin narrowed his eyes, ready to retort, when Austin raised his hand to stop him. “Alright, that’s enough. I’ve made my decision.”
Without hesitation, Austin put down his signature on the marriage contract.
Dustin sighed, feeling a twinge of distress. His younger brother had matured, considering the broader implications of his decisions. It was a level of maturity that Dustin believed surpassed even his own.
“Uncle Tyrus, with the marriage contract in place, I hope you can fulfill your promise,” Austin said.
“Don’t worry, Your Highness. We’re family from now on. No matter the challenges the monarchy faces, I will offer my assistance!” Tyrus promised as he patted his chest.
“Thank you, Uncle Tyrus. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be taking my leave now,” Austin said.
“Have a safe journey, Your Highness!” Tyrus smiled and personally escorted Austin out.
Dustin removed his mask when they got in the car and left the mansion. He sighed and said, “Austin, you didn’t have to sacrifice yourself. We could have found another way.”
“Logan, you and Father have protected me my whole life. It’s time for me to stand on my own.”
Austin flashed a playful smile. ” Besides, I’m more than happy to marry a beautiful woman. This is hardly a sacrifice.”
Throughout history, noble families often engaged in intermarriages to strengthen their influence for mutual benefits and provide support for each other.
Even though he was the son of the Prince of West Lucozia, Tyrus’ daughter also held an esteemed status, making them a suitable match.
“Alright, Logan, don’t overthink it. Our current focus is on quelling the rebellion. We can discuss future matters at a later time,” Austin said with a smile.
Dustin nodded and changed the topic. ” Are we going to Southvista to meet the Marquis of Silvercrest next?” 1
“That’s right!” Austin confirmed.
“The Marquis of Silvercrest is the most influential among the Southern Four Sovereigns. However, he’s also the most challenging to deal with. Our plan’s success hinges on the Marquis of Silvercrest, Elijah Valor!”
