Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1038 You Are Really Alive

"Judging by your look, Alyssa must have told you the same thing, right?" Marcia asked when shesaw the strange expression on Rocky's face. She gently smiled as if telling him that she exactly knewwhat was going on in his mind.

"Wait, do you mean..." The words just slipped right out of his tongue. It struck him that the twowomen had so much in common. He had to admit that he was surprised to hear it from Marcia, andthat it was written all over his face.

"Well, it seems that my guess is right. Now I understand why Alyssa let you live after you werecaptured and treated you as distinguished guest when you were in the Timber Deity Empire. It'sbecause you are the only person in the world who can help her remove the curse, the cursepreventing her from being a real spiritual race.” The way Alyssa behaved around Rocky was not likethe cruel and proud princess that Marcia knew so well. Marcia guessed why Alyssa was acting soweird when she learned how Rocky was received in the Timber Deity Empire.

"But I don't understand. Why are you also looking for me?" Rocky asked. He couldn't be the oneMarcia was looking for, even if he was indeed the one Alyssa needed.

"That's an easy question to answer. Since you can remove her curse, then you can do the same tomy curse. Because although it involves different spiritual race bloodlines, her curse and mine are thesame kind to a certain extent. We are both products of the human and spiritual race. Our curse isthe same. However, I don't think she has told you how to remove the curse,” Marcia said as sheeyed Rocky with a skeptical look.

"She didn't tell me. But I don't think she actually knows how. But you know it, right? Is that whatyou're telling me?" Rocky understood the meaning behind Marcia's words immediately.

"How could she not know if I already knew? How naive of you to think that way. I'm afraid shedoesn't want to tell the truth because you can only remove her curse when the two of you truly loveeach other and your minds genuinely blend as one. She knows that you two can't have that kind ofrelationship, so she didn't tell you." Marcia told him the only way to remove the curse.

Rocky then realized why Alyssa asked him to give up the throne after defeating Alston. It turned outthat Alyssa must have hoped that they could have a closer relationship in future and maybe theycould fall in love with each other. If he was the emperor, it was undoubtedly impossible for the twoof them to be together. Even if it was possible, it would be a forbidden relationship, which wouldinevitably lead to unimaginable consequences.

"So, you don't have to be grateful for everything she has done for you. She didn't do it for you at all.She did it because she knows you are her only hope. Of course, she cares about you to a certainextent. If it weren't for her, you would have fallen into a troublesome situation indeed if youreturned to the Holy Dragon Empire alone, because you wouldn't be a match for Alston when you'retotally unprepared,” Marcia said straightforwardly. Although she didn't like Alyssa because she knewwhat Alyssa was up to, her impression of Alyssa had changed a little after what she had done thistime. However, there was no doubt that Alyssa would always be a strong opponent for her.

"But how can I remove the curse? Both of your curses in that matter! If anything, it sounds to methat I am more like a key," Rocky asked again. He was having a hard time trying to figure out thewhole situation

"Well, it's not a coincidence of course. I'm guessing you are somewhat different from ordinarypeople. I'm afraid that you're the only person that can make that crystal clear,” Marcia answered.She didn't know either why Rocky was the only one who could break the curse.

"Oh, what the hell! Is it because I..." Rocky abruptly stopped talking. His heart was beating so fast.Maybe it was because his soul did not belong to this world at all.

"Please don't panic. I am not insisting you to remove the curse like Alyssa. I think it's a good idea tolet nature run its course. Besides, I'm not interested in becoming a member of the spiritual race. So,don't worry, I won't force you to do anything for me. After all, you can take a horse to the water, butyou cannot force it to drink,” Marcia said ever so lightly.

"If the circumstances were completely different, I would help to remove the curse on both of you. Idon't mind at all. Both of you have done lots of favors for me and I am grateful," Rocky saidsincerely. But the current circumstances really made it difficult for him, and the worst part was hecouldn't do anything about it. He was unable to control his own feelings.

"You don't really have to think about us. You have your own mission to complete, and what youneed to do now is to wait for the right time. When the time comes, the entire Holy Dragon Empirewill stir up a storm because of you, and it will be a bloody one. But remember that this is also for thefuture of the Holy Dragon Empire. If the empire ever falls into the hand of Alston, he will surely leadit to destruction. There is no doubt in that. I won't allow him to end the empire!" Marcia said firmly.As far as she could tell, Rocky was the only one who could save the Holy Dragon Empire.

"Although it's not what I want, I will comprise for the sake of everybody. I will wait, and I willcompletely prepare for it,” Rocky said seriously. His face turned dark as he clenched his fists on hisside.

"It's a pity that we can't let Lena know that you are still alive. If she knew, she would let all heremotions take control of her and she would definitely come to you. It will only make things worse,especially if it leads to Alston getting suspicious. So, we must hide it from her like the last time. Ihope she will not blame me once she replaces out in the future!" Marcia knew that she would have tobe the mediator again.

"Take good care of Lena for me please. We both know Alston has coveted her for a long time. I'mworried for her, so please keep him away from her. I know that things are harder now that Alston istaking charge of the empire. I'm afraid he will certainly try his best to hurt her," Rocky said with afrown, his eyes turning ice cold.

"I will certainly do that, even if you didn't ask. I will never let him lay a finger on Lena. I will teachhim a hard lesson myself if he tries to do anything to her,” Marcia snapped. She would definitelymake Alston pay if he did something wrong to Lena.

"I'll leave her to you then. Please protect her. Alas, I think I should go now! I can finally have anordinary life for myself,” Rocky joked lightly. As a matter of fact, the waiting period would make himsurely suffer. First, he wouldn't be able to go to Alston for revenge. Second, it wouldn't be a goodtime for him to see Lena to sort out the matters of his heart.

"In case you need anything, do let me know," Marcia added sincerely before leaving.

Rocky nodded and bid farewell to Marcia with a slight bow.

Marcia watched Rocky as he went away. A gentle smile flashed across her face. She said to herselflightly, "I'm really happy to see you alive. You don't know how scared I was when I went to theTimber Deity Empire to see you. I was worried that Alyssa was just lying. But fortunately, it is true! Ifinally saw you! You are alive again!"
