An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

The heavy castle door was banged on relentlessly, and the noise echoed with a resounding impact. Each strike resembled the blow of a giant hammer, resonating deeply in the hearts of everyone within.

“Open the door!” Eloise shouted, ordering the servants to open the door. The unexpected move caused the soldiers attempting to break in to be completely baffled. They had no idea why Eloise would do such a thing.

At this time, it made more sense for Eloise to close the door and defend till the end. Thus, they wondered why Eloise took the initiative to open the door.

Perhaps there was a trap inside.

“Draven, Atticus, Mortimer, Ignatius, come out!” Eloise called out while holding her sword. The soldiers outside were reluctant to approach because of her formidable presence.

The four names she called out were the Northern Four Sovereigns, the main forces behind the rebellion.

“What’s the matter? Do you guys not dare to admit what you’ve done? Are you guys just a bunch of cowards?” Seeing that nobody answered, Eloise called out again. Her voice resounded in the entire castle.

After a few seconds, the military forces outside the castle suddenly scattered and formed a wide path.

Following that, four middle-aged men of different sizes walked side by side. They wore combat gear and were draped in capes.
