An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

“The only way into the castle is over my dead body!” With a huge sword in her hand, Eloise stood alone with great courage at the main entrance to defend the castle.

She wasn’t actually a strong fighter. At most, she could pass as a divine-level martial artist. However, her current presence was stronger than that of a grandmaster.

The common soldiers and even Draven were stunned. His brow was locked in a deep frown, and he didn’t dare to move. The only thing he could do was to look at the three other sovereigns.

Threats and the palace revolution aside, they needed a valid reason to attack Eloise. If they didn’t, the people would protest and turn against them.

They surrounded the castle in the name of staking out the killer. They’d be able to get off the hook if they acted a little brashly.

They could use overwhelming sadness and being overly emotional as their excuse for their rude behavior. However, they’d never be able to explain themselves if the princess died in the revolt. If that happened, there would be a public outcry.

In addition, the powerful figures of West Lucozia would be shaken. Oakvale would also send military backup to quell the riot. After all, Eloise was the Princess Consort of West Lucozia as well as the eldest princess of Dragonmarsh.

Given her identity, they wouldn’t dare to do anything foolish. Simply put, they could kill anyone in the castle, but not Eloise, As such, when Eloise was determined to fight them, they were a little taken aback.
