Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 1157 Rocky's Fault
"Currently, the Heavenly Demon Clan has already grown into a force that couldn't be ignored. Theycould even be lined up with the Dragon Master Clan, the Phoenix Master Clan, and the Wood Clan.Moreover, it is rumored that they possess two spiritual treasures while the Wood Clan only gets ahalf. They even proposed a very enticing condition. If Her Royal Highness agreed to marry theirpatriarch, they would willingly bestow one of their spiritual treasures as a gift for the bride. I'mafraid that more than forming an alliance, the Wood Clan would be definitely enticed into acquiringthat spiritual treasure. Thus, they may possibly agree with their proposal of marrying Her RoyalHighness into the Heavenly Demon Clan.” Laney analyzed every detail.
"But do you really think that she would agree to something like that? Knowing her, I don't think so.”Rocky knew how proud and stubborn Alyssa could be. He could tell that she would turn them downright at their faces without any hesitation.
"I know that too. However, the real problem is that the Wood Clan is considering it. They're sodesperate to obtain the spiritual treasure of the Heavenly Demon Clan. If the Wood Clan decidedand ordered Her Royal Highness to accept the proposal, do you think that she would still have asay? If push comes to shove, she might have no other choice but to obey.” With her eyes alreadyturning reddish, Laney paused and looked at Rocky intently. "Basil, I beg of you. Please go to theTimber Deity Empire right away and get Her Royal Highness out of that place!”
"Hey, calm down. I understand your anxiety, but if she made this move, she would become a traitorto both the Timber Deity Empire and the Wood Clan. She can't afford to do that.” Rocky tried toreason with logic.
"I also know Her Royal Highness. She would rather do that than become a member of the HeavenlyDemon Clan. In case you don't know, those bastards are more interested in her legendary guardianbeast than herself. I don't think that there would still be a chance for her to come back once sentthere. Her life might even be put to danger!” Laney's chest throbbed hard as she worried aboutwhat could happen to Alyssa. She tried to calm down a little before saying, "Basil, you should knowthat Her Royal Highness has a special feeling for you. I strongly believe that at a time like this, you'rethe one that she wants to see the most."
Rocky quickly understood what Laney meant. With all honesty, he was indeed worried about thecurrent situation of Alyssa. She had helped him a lot of times when he was in the Timber DeityEmpire. From then on, he made up his mind that if ever she were on a tight spot, he would nothesitate to give her a hand. Moreover, he also wanted to take the opportunity to replace out moreabout the Heavenly Demon Clan and what they had been up to. Thus, considering every factor, hefelt the significance of making a trip to the Timber Deity Empire. No matter what decision Alyssawas going to make, he needed to see her first.
"All right. I'll go to the capital of the Timber Deity Empire right away. I need to see her first andconfirm whatever she wants to do.” Rocky finally made up his mind after thinking for a while.
"Basil, you must bring Her Royal Highness back with you no matter what,” Laney pleaded as tearsstarted to well up in her eyes.
Rocky didn't utter another word and just patted her on the shoulder to somehow calm her down.After a while, he left the Fragrance House and headed towards the Palace City. As soon as he got tothe palace, he met Isis and the other women and told them what he and Laney talked about. Healso told them his plan about going to the Timber Deity Empire, but the girls’ expression instantlychanged. None of them agreed on his seemingly reckless plan.
"Of course not. You can't go." Lena was the first one to express her strong objection. It didn't onlyconcern Alyssa, but the clans of the spiritual race were also involved again. Previously, Rocky onlyhad a narrow escape when he went to rescue the emperor within the territory of the Dragon MasterClan. It hadn't been that long and he was already going to risk his life again.
"That's right. It's too dangerous! We won't let you go!" Sabina and Lucilla also expressed theirdisapproval.
"Basil, you have to think this over. This is a very serious matter. You have offended the DragonMaster Clan before. If you make an enemy out of the Wood Clan this time, even if it's for Alyssa'ssake, things will get more unfavorable for you!" Isis warned him in a serious tone.
"I know all about those risks, but I still have to go. Alyssa helped me a lot when I was previouslytaken to the Timber Deity Empire. She even arranged so well that I could return here safely. I oweher a lot. Now that she needs help, it's just right that I should do something for her." Rockypersuaded them as he let out a sigh. He walked a little and looked outside at the distant sky.
"But what if she agrees to what they want? Then, you've just wasted your effort on going there."Sabina didn't want to say it outright, but she didn't have a good impression of Alyssa.
"If she agrees, then I won't interfere. However, if she needs my help, I'll make sure to do my best toassist her,” Rocky answered with a straight face.
The girls looked at each other, shook their heads, and also let out a deep sigh. From what theyheard, they knew that whatever they said would be useless, as Rocky had already made up his mindto see Alyssa.
"Fine. There's no use arguing with you anyway. All right, you can go, but on one condition... We willalso go with you," Sabina said in a stern voice.
The other girls just nodded and looked at him seriously.
"Well, if you insist," Rocky replied as he lightly scratched his head. He had no other choice but toagree to their demand. Otherwise, they wouldn't let him leave the Palace City.
However, since Lena still needed to assist the emperor in dealing with the affairs within the HolyDragon Empire, she had to stay behind and entrust Rocky to the rest of the girls as they traveled tothe Timber Deity Empire.
About three days later, the group had arrived at their destination.
But before going straight to Alyssa, they went to the Cao mansion first.
As soon as Queenie heard that Rocky and her elder sister paid a visit, she immediately rushedtowards the Magnificent Hall to meet them at once.
"Lucilla, you're back! Oh, how I missed you!" Queenie hurriedly threw herself into Lucilla's arms themoment she saw her. She was like a spoiled child who met her mother after a long while.
"Come on. You're now the chief of the Cao Clan. Stop acting like a little girl all the time!" Lucillateased her younger sister but also held her tightly. It had been quite a while since she last saw her;thus, she also missed her greatly. Since childhood, they had been really close and she was even adoting sister.
"Hey, you bastard! Did you ever try to make my sister cry? Spit it out and I shall punish youaccordingly!" Queenie waved her fist at Rocky shortly after leaving Lucilla’s arms. Her joyous smilewas instantly replaced by squinting eyes and pouting lips as she yelled at Rocky.
"Queenie, don't be rude! You're in front of Prince Crimson of the Holy Dragon Empire. Learn tobehave yourself. By the way, let me introduce the others. This is Isis, Prince Crimson's wife, and thisis Sabina, General Marcia's apprentice.” Lucilla introduced her companions as she dragged hergrumbling sister away from Rocky.
"Why are you yelling at me? It's only been a year since you went with this bastard, and now you'realready siding with him? I'm your younger sister!" Queenie grumbled a lot while talking to her sisterbut still managed to politely bow towards Isis and Sabina.
The two girls couldn't help but burst out laughing upon witnessing the unique side of Queenie.
"It's already been a year since then. However, your temper hasn't changed a bit. How's your BeastCuring Skill now? Did you make enough progress?" Rocky tried to cut in and ignored her attitude."Humph! Just so you know, my Beast Curing Skill should be better than you already. That's not all. Ialso learned a lot of new skills from Juey. Even Tate is no match for me now,” Queenie declaredproudly while sticking out her chest and holding her waist with both hands.
"Oh, really? That is nice.” Rocky said with a gentle smile.
At the same time, while they were still busy talking, Lucas, who had just heard of their arrival, alsorushed into the hall to greet them.
"Miss Lucilla and Miste— I mean Prince Crimson! Why didn't you tell us beforehand that you wouldbe coming back? Is there something urgent that came up?” Lucas was indeed a sharp man who hadexperienced a lot in life. As soon as he learned of their sudden arrival, he instantly knew that theremust be a pressing and important reason behind it.
"Master Lucas! It's nice to meet you again. I'm impressed that you're still good at predicting things."Rocky also greeted back with a smile.
After they all sat down, Rocky began explaining what their purpose was for suddenly visiting theTimber Deity Empire.
"I see. I've also heard about the things about Her Royal Highness, but I'm not sure about it. Well, Iguess we have to confirm it with the emperor,” Lucas remarked.
"Yeah, I also have the same thought,” Rocky said in a serious tone.
"Lucilla, this time, just stay with me and never leave me again! Can you imagine how boring it is todeal with a lot of different things every day? Then, I also have to continually listen to my master'snagging. I don't want to be the chief anymore! You should be the one to do it!" Queenie went on tocomplain and even attempted to pass the responsibilities to Lucilla.
"You know I can't. Besides, I told you, I'm just here to accompany Basil. Also, you're a better chiefthan me. I didn't want to be the chief anymore. I know it's hard for a girl of your age to take on suchhuge responsibilities, but trust me, you're the one suited for this.” Lucilla put her arm around hersister's shoulder and consoled her.
While Queenie was being appeased by her sister, she sneakily glared at Rocky. At the back of hermind, she couldn't stop blaming Rocky. If it wasn't for him, her elder sister didn't have to leave herand her clan behind. She had set her mind that it was all Rocky's fault. However, Rocky justshrugged his shoulders and looked back at her with an innocent expression, making Queenie evenmore pissed.
