An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

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 volumes 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.
