An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

“Oh? You guessed it?” Dustin smirked. ” Now that you know who I am, it’s up to you to decide what to do.”

If Warrick chose to surrender, Dustin would simply seal his pressure points and leave him to Austin’s judgment. But if he resisted, Dustin wouldn’t hesitate to cripple him.

“Haven’t you given up your title as the prince? Why did you return? Are you going to compete with Austin for the throne?” Warrick asked.

Uncertainty flickered across his face before he continued, “If that’s your intention, I can help you. Spare me today, and I guarantee you’ll become the next Prince of West Lucozia.”

Power was a tempting beast. History was filled with stories of brothers turning against each other and fathers murdering their sons for it.

In Warrick’s mind, Logan’s quiet return to West Lucozia meant one thing-he was after the throne.

“Guarantee?” Dustin scoffed. “What guarantee are you offering?” His voice was dripping with disdain. “You’re a cornered rat now. You’re barely holding on to your life-how could you help me?”

Warrick, far from being offended, felt a surge of excitement. From Dustin’s tone, it was clear he was considering the possibility of taking the throne. If so, things would be much easier to manage.

“Your Highness, I may be at a low point now, but I’ve spent years building my foothold in West Lucozia. My influence runs deep,” he replied.

He added with absolute conviction. “Give me a chance, and I’ll come back stronger.

When that happens, I won’t just stand by your side I’ll be the blade that cuts down your enemies.”
