Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1676 Don't Go Too Far

An elder of the Flower Fief also came with Valeria. However, although she held a status that of anelder, the woman looked extremely young as if she was just under forty years of age. In fact, as theysat together, she just looked like Valeria's older sister.

"Elder Leticia, it still puzzles me why we have to ally ourselves with the Ghost Fief. There are othersout there who are much stronger than them. I thought we are just evenly matched in terms ofpower. I don't understand why the leader would choose such an average fief," Valeria blurted outher thoughts.

"You are right. The Ghost Fief is not among the strongest ones. However, its leader, Gilbert, is alsoborn from a royal family just like our leader. Hence, both of them have common interests. As for theother seven leaders, despite their close ties to the royal family, they are not born pure-blood,” ElderLeticia pointed out.

"That's it? I don't think it's reasonable enough!" Valerie furrowed her eyebrows, thinking that thereshould be a more specific reason that she did not know.

"Ha-ha! You are such a smart girl. Fine. The real reason why our leader chose the Ghost Fief is thatshe once had a relationship with Gilbert. That was back when they had not taken over their fiefsyet," Elder Leticia whispered.

"What? Really?" Valeria's eyes widened a little because of shock.

"So, part of the reason why our leader decided to ally with the Ghost Fief by proposing an arrangedmarriage is that she wants to make up for her past regret," Leticia explained further.

"Well, if it wasn't for the order of our leader, I would not marry the Godly Genius of the Ghost Fief. Idon't even know what he looks like," Valeria said in a gloomy tone.

"It's much better if you do not see your fiance in advance. Otherwise, you might get more reluctantto marry him,” Leticia remarked.

"Why are you saying it like that? Are you hinting that he is ugly?” Hearing what the elder said,Valeria could not help but be a little depressed.

"You know how it is. There are only a few good-looking men from the Shura Race. I just don't wantto get your hopes up. They are different from humans. Don't expect that they would be tall andhandsome like humans,” Leticia responded bluntly.

"So, have you ever seen a man from the human race?" Valeria asked out of curiosity.

"Ha-ha! Of course, I have. I even fell in love with a human,” Leticia replied as a girlish expressionappeared on her face.

"Really? What happened then?"

"Even you know that a relationship between members of the Shura Race and the human race isforbidden. So, of course, it had to end.” Leticia let out a deep sigh as she smiled bitterly.

"But I also have blood of the human race in me..." Valeria uttered in confusion.

"Shh! That is a secret. If anyone knows that you are not a pure-blooded member of the Shura Race,you will certainly get into huge trouble,” Leticia immediately warned.

"Oops. Sorry, I forgot." Valeria said as she stuck her tongue out.

"Anyway, remember that we have two missions this time. First, we have to make sure that thealliance with the Ghost Fief would go smoothly. Second, you and their Godly Genius will go to theNether Fire Land together to accomplish the task. With that, you can have a very good chance ofwinning," Leticia said as her expression became serious.

"But I heard that my fiance is the weakest among all the other Godly Geniuses. It means that I willneed to protect him in the future, right?" Valeria asked with hints of reluctance in her voice.

"Don't worry too much. He is the disciple of Esteban, Ghost Fief's highly-skilled doctor. His fightingabilities may be a little weak, but as a practitioner of medical skills, he will be capable enough tohelp you survive in the Nether Fire Land. Moreover, I heard that his pillar of divine power ascendedto one foot and five inches within a month. It just means that he is an extraordinary fellow," Leticiasaid as she encouraged the young woman.

"As long as he does not hold me back, then it's fine," Valeria replied as she pouted, not reallyconvinced with what Leticia told her.

Hearing Valeria's response, Leticia just kept quiet and let out a faint smile.

About two days later, their group had finally arrived at the Ghost Capital.

Not long after, they stopped in front of Gilbert's mansion.

Upon seeing the people from the Flower Fief, Peter the steward, who was patiently waiting outsideto welcome the guests, immediately walked towards the chariot and respectfully greeted,"Welcome, distinguished guests from the Flower Fief. I am the leader's butler. We have beenexpecting your arrival."

At the same time, Valeria and Elder Leticia got out of the chariot.

"The leader is already waiting for you inside the hall. This way please,” Peter said as he guided them."Thank you for all the help,” Valeria responded politely.

After that, Peter took them directly to the conference hall.

As soon as they arrived, they saw Gilbert inside, sitting in the high seat, together with more than adozen elders and retainers on both sides. Obviously, they had been waiting for Valeria and Leticia."Greetings! We are glad to experience such a warm welcome," Valeria said as she bowed and paidher respects to the leader and the elders.

At the same time, Leticia also bowed to Gilbert.

"You are most welcome. Please have your seats.”

As they sat down, Gilbert asked tentatively, "I heard that your purpose for coming here is to form analliance with us. I will be straight to the point and declare that we have no objection to it. Do youhave any more requirements before it becomes official?"

"None, sir. But I do want to see the Godly Genius of your fief first if that is possible,” Valeriarequested.

"Of course. That is not a problem. Go and invite the Godly Genius to come here," Gilbert ordered aservant at once.

Immediately after, the servant went to the Ghost Palace to fetch Rocky.

However, not long after, the servant came back and reported to Gilbert with an embarrassed lookon his face, "Leader, he said that he is busy right now. If the Godly Genius of the Flower Fief won'tmind, please wait for a moment.”

Hearing these words, Gilbert clenched his fists and was also embarrassed.

Although Valeria thought that it was so impolite of Rocky, she still replied with politeness, "That isnot a problem. If he is not available at the moment, we can wait for him."

"I see. I know that you have been worn out after traveling all the way here. Why don't you go to theFragrance Palace first to have a rest? When the Godly Genius is already available, I will ask him topay you a visit in person,” Gilbert said as he forced a smile.

"Of course. Thank you for your hospitality.” Valeria nodded and did not express any objection.

After that, Gilbert ordered some of his servants to guide the guests to the Fragrance Palace."Leader, our Godly Genius is too discourteous! The Godly Genius of the Flower Fief traveled a longway just to see him, but he did not even have the decency to make time. He must be doing this onpurpose! Is he unwilling to marry Miss Valeria?" As soon as Valeria and Elder Leticia left, some of theretainers immediately expressed their dissatisfaction regarding Rocky's attitude earlier.

"I think he has been with Esteban for too long that he also acquired his attitude.”

"Well, it does not really matter whether they see each other right away. The marriage is just asymbol of the alliance of the two fiefs. We should not get too pressured with the details of theirrelationship.”

"All right. Calm down. The Godly Genius of the Flower Fief is already here, so we should at least giveher what she wants. But we should also give our Godly Genius some time to figure things out.” Aftersaying that, Gilbert eventually went on his way.

Meanwhile, in the Ghost Palace, Rocky, who had just said that he was busy, was actually baskingunder the sun and sorting out some of his medicinal herbs leisurely.

"Hey, brat. The Godly Genius of the Flower Fief came here to see you. Why would you even refuse tosee her? Can you imagine how embarrassed she must be?" Esteban said as he walked towardsRocky.

"Then, that is better. If she got angry, she might want to break off the engagement. It will work outin my favor," Rocky replied with a devious smile.

"You, stupid brat. Gilbert must be so furious right now!" Esteban said with a heavy sigh.

"It's going to be all right. Since the Godly Genius of the Flower Fief asked to meet me first, then sheshould be really eager to formally have the engagement. If that is the case, then we can't let her getwhat she wants too easily," Rocky said while snickering like a child.

"Well, yeah. I think so too. But I am warning you. Don't take it too far or it will surely end in chaos,”Esteban reminded him sternly.

"Of course, you don't have to worry. I know what I am doing."

Hearing Rocky's confident answer, Esteban didn't say anything more. He just turned around andwent back inside the Ghost Palace to continue studying the corpse that he had dissected earlier.
