An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Neville sprang into action after receiving the order. He quickly rallied his troops toward Matthias’ estate for rescue and backup.

Matthias wasn’t in the mood to continue chatting. His face was grim as he strode toward the exit.

“Your Highness, please stay,” Seamus called out suddenly.

“Uncle Seamus, something urgent has happened at home. Whatever it is, it’ll have to wait,” Matthias said impatiently.

Whoever dared to start a massacre in his estate wasn’t walking away alive.

“Calm down. I’m sure you don’t want to walk straight into a trap,” Seamus warned.

“A trap?” Matthias frowned. “What do you mean by that?”

“Think about it. You have no feud with the Hall of Gods, so why would they send their royal god to cause chaos in your estate? Don’t you find that strange?” Seamus said evenly.

“I’ll get my answers after I capture Zeus,” Matthias spat, gritting his teeth.

“Your Highness, I must warn you that apart from the elusive Supreme leader of the Hall of Gods, Zeus is the undisputed number one powerhouse in Strequa. And with all due respect… your troops aren’t enough to capture him,” Seamus reminded him.

“Zeus might be strong, but he’s only one man, and I command thousands. I can crush him with numbers,” Matthias said, refusing to back down.
