“Well…” Dustin furrowed his brow, seemingly hesitating.


    “Your Highness!” Lincon suddenly sped his hands and imed, “I’m willing to help you with anything you face.


    “If you trust me, let me handle this for you. I will secretly contact those loyal ministers and gather them. When the timing is right, we’ll surely assist you. You only need to give us a call!”


    “You’re indeed a righteous person. I respect you for that!” Austin couldn’t help but praise.


    “If that’s the case, thank you.” Dustin sped his hands back at him.


    “It’s my pleasure to be able to do something for you,” Lincon replied.


    “Sir ze, something bad has happened!” a guard ran inside and shouted. “We got the news that soldiers have surrounded West Lucozian castle.


    The monarchy is in a dire situation!”


    “What? It’s being surrounded?” Austin and Dustin’s expressions went grim when they heard that.


    They were only out of the castle for two days. However, they didn’t expect achange to happen so quickly.


    “What happened? Tell us in detail!” Austin asked anxiously.


    The guard took a look at Lincon. After his superior nodded in approval, he continued, “The Northern Four Sovereigns led a team of elite soldiers to infiltrate the castlest night. All castle guards at the rank of colonel and above were held hostage.


    “The entire military force is immobilized. The Northern Four Sovereigns used the excuse of saving the country in times of danger to besiege the castle.


    “They imed to be purging traitors to avenge thete prince. In reality, they’re just trying to seize power!”


    Austin was so angry that he mmed the table. “How dare all of them! How could they surround the castle with their soldiers? They’re going too far!”


    Austin thought the most the Northern Four Sovereigns could do was a siege to put pressure on them.


    He didn’t expect that they would be so ruthless. The Northern Four Sovereigns had pulled the rug out from under them!


    If the monarchy fell and Julius got the military insignia, it was over for them!


    “It seems like Julius is well-prepared.” Dustin furrowed his brow and fell into deep thought.


    This unexpected move indeed caught them off guard.Dustin nned to ally with the Southern Four Sovereigns and persuade some loyal ministers to go against Julius.


    However, he didn’t expect Julius to go ahead of them and tookplete control.There would be severe consequences once the monarchy fell!


    “Dustin, what should we do now?” Austin was a bit anxious.


    “There’s no time to think. We have to return quickly and resolve the monarchy’s crisis,” Dustin said in a low voice.


    “But the soldiers we have now are not enough to go against Julius. Even if Uncle Lincon and the others help us, it’ll take time for them to mobilize their troops. We might not have enough time.” Austin furrowed his brow.


    “We don’t have a choice. All we can do now is take a gamble!”


    Then, Dustin looked at Lincon and said seriously, “Uncle Lincon, please contact my father’s previous military department and aid the monarchy with the other three marquis. I will try to buy time until supportes!”


    “Your Highness, isn’t this too risky?” Lincon frowned.


    “We’ve already lost the chance to act first. Thus, we have to take this risk.” Dustin lowered his back and said seriously, “Uncle Lincon, I’ll have to count on you for everything thates afterward!”


    “I’ll… definitely not disappoint you!” Lincon nodded.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    “Thank you.” After ncing at Austin, Dustin said, “Let’s go back to the castle and meet Julius!”
