An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1720

“Matthias…” Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, Grace was about to speak up.

However, Dustin spoke first, “I would appear rather ungrateful if I didn’t show my appreciation for your generosity. Very well, I’ll accept all these treasures!”

“Huh?” Grace was stunned and swallowed back her words.

What was going on? What was Dustin thinking?

First, he accepted Tristan’s gift, promising to back him in the shadows, and now he was accepting Matthias’ treasures without hesitation. What an opportunist! Was the West Lucozian Crown Prince that weak against temptations?

“Hahaha… Great! You’re really candid! “Matthias laughed heartily when Dustin agreed.

“Guards! Pack up everything here and send them to Logan’s residence later!”

“Thank you for your generosity, Prince Matthias!” Dustin bowed in gratitude.

“It’s nothing.” Matthias chuckled.

He then changed the subject, “But speaking of which, did Father really not bring up anything special during your conversation?”

Hearing this, Dustin glanced around and hesitated. Matthias caught on immediately and ordered, “All of you, leave us. We’re going to have a private conversation.”

“Heir to the throne?” Matthias’ gaze sharpened, his attention now fully captured. Matthias had been right. His father was gravely ill and had to decide on the rightful successor. He must have sought Logan’s opinion due to the West Lucozian monarchy’s influence.

“Logan, how did you respond?” Matthias was both nervous and hopeful. He believed he would be favored by his father for his courage and outstanding achievements.

“Each of the royal princes has their own strengths, so I wasn’t able to decide either. His Majesty had asked me to consider it carefully before giving him an answer.” Dustin put on a troubled front.

“Logan, my brother!” Matthias suddenly became excited and grabbed Dustin’s hand.

His eyes gleamed as he continued, “We hit it off from the moment we met. Although we’re not related by blood, our bond is stronger than that of real brothers. If I were to contend for the throne, you would surely support me wholeheartedly, wouldn’t you?
