Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1898 Rocky's Plan Worked

"Take you away? Why?" Rocky was quite taken aback upon hearing her sudden request.

"What are you talking about? We are engaged! Why can't I be with you?" Gloria immediatelyreminded.

"I can tear that engagement covenant anytime, you know?" Rocky was still keeping the covenant,and if he destroyed it, the only proof of their engagement would be dissolved.

"No! Why would you do that? Look! I am determined to be with you. In fact, the sole reason why Iam trying to cultivate so hard is to improve myself so that I can be of use to you,” Gloria said withunwavering resolve.

"Can I just ask you? Why are you willing to make such a sacrifice for me?" Rocky could only sigh.When he was with Valeria, he also could not deal with her honesty. Now, another woman wasopenly professing her feelings to him.

"Why are you so dense? You are my man, and I will never let you go! It's that simple!" Gloriadeclared with a straight face.

"Well, I guess I can't do anything if you have already made up your mind.” Rocky had also dealt witha lot of women in his life. Hence, he knew just when to give up.

"Finally!" Gloria was extremely elated, thinking that Rocky had finally accepted how she felt.

"All right. I will tell you this right now. You can follow me, but you can't regret it no matter what!"Rocky sternly warned.

"Ha! Not following you will be the only thing that I will regret. But if you take me back to the GhostFief, how are you going to explain it to Valeria?" Gloria asked in a teasing tone, intending to makeRocky feel awkward.

"Take you back? Who said anything about that?" Rocky retorted with a raised eyebrow.

"What? Then where are you taking me?" Gloria was stunned and could not help but let out a frown."I will make an arrangement so that you can stay with Princess Layla from now on. You will beresponsible for delivering messages between me and her.” Rocky revealed his plan.

"That's it?" Gloria instantly glared at him in disbelief.

"What? I thought you said that you won't regret following me no matter what?"

"Ugh! I hate that you are such a cunning guy!" Gloria could only complain while rolling her eyes.But despite that, she still found it hard to refuse him. After all, she had decided long ago that shewould marry Rocky. Hence, she was willing to do anything without any complaints.

Then, after Gloria finished packing her stuff up, she bade goodbye to Adrian.

After that, the two left the Genie Fief and headed straight to the Royal Land. They were to meetPrincess Layla in order to entrust Gloria to her.

Soon enough, they arrived at Princess Layla's palace.

As soon as Layla saw that Rocky was with Gloria, she was a little confused. But after Rocky explainedeverything to her, the princess immediately understood the situation. However, she was extremelysurprised to know that such a thing was already going on.

"I did not expect that you and Leader Adrian had been allies all this time. I guess there are still a lotof things that I don't know about.” The princess never thought that the Genie Fief, which wassupporting Zain on the surface, was just actually a part of Rocky's plan.

Moreover, from Gloria's demeanor, she could tell that the young lady and Rocky had a closerelationship. Layla could just shake her head, thinking that Rocky was such a magnet when it cameto beautiful women.

"Your Royal Highness, I will be leaving Gloria in your care. If you want to inform me of anything,don't hesitate to send her to me,” Rocky directly explained, not bothering to explain his realrelationship with Gloria.

"All right then.”

When Gloria expressed her willingness to help him, Rocky instantly thought of sending her to Layla.After all, this would make his communication with the princess more convenient. Moreover, Gloriawas someone that he could fully trust. Thus, making her stay with the princess also gave him a senseof relief.

However, because Gloria was a bit famous for being a Godly Genius, Rocky had to give her a skinmask to hide her real appearance.

Afterward, Rocky went straight back to Gilbert's mansion in the Ghost Capital.

Just recently, Rocky was successful in severing the ties between Zain and the two fiefs who had beenhis avid supporters in the past. With this, a huge chunk of Zain's overall strength was slashed off. Inthe meantime, Rocky still intended to gradually weaken the prince's remaining forces, so thateventually, he would really lose everything.

On the other hand, Zain was just focused on wanting to recover from his injuries. Therefore, he didnot have an idea that he had already fallen deep into the trap that Rocky had set up.

As of now, the only remaining threat for Rocky was Enoch.

Of course, Enoch himself was not difficult to deal with. However, since the demonic race was behindhim, the situation could get a bit tricky and messy.

Therefore, Rocky still had to be very cautious before he officially declared war with the royal family.At the same time, the news that someone had taken Enoch's authenticating object and pretendedto be his special envoy also spread out. It was exactly because of this stunt, that Enoch’s army hadto confront the army of the three fiefs, making them suffer heavy casualties.

Obviously, Enoch grew furious upon learning this. He firmly believed that this was Zain's doing sincehe wanted to weaken his forces. Hence, he put all the blame on his nephew.

Meanwhile, in Enoch'’s fief, he was taking his time to enjoy some good wine while beautiful womenaccompanied him. At the same time, he was listening to the report of one of his men regarding therecruitment of soldiers. The demoness was also there, lying on the side, resting with her eyes closed.Ever since the prince declared his rebellion, he had been trying his best to recruit more soldiers tojoin his side. Currently, he had already increased his army to a force of three hundred thousand. Infact, this number was already enough to contend against the royal family. Additionally, he had alsorecruited powerful warriors above the Emperor Realm.

It could be said that soon enough, his overall strength could topple all of his opponents.

However, Enoch was actually not in a hurry to fight against the royal family. He still recognized thatthe royal family had a deep foundation, and right now, he only had the support of two of the ninemajor fiefs. He thought that if the seven other fiefs united with the royal family to deal with him, hemight still be at a disadvantage.

But he also knew that it was just a wishful thinking for the royal family. After all, most of the fiefswere operating according to their own intentions. In particular, the Ghost Fief and the Flower Fiefwere on Layla’s side.

Although Layla was indeed a royal member, she was not the descendant of the current king.Therefore, depending on the situation, she and her supporters might not participate in the battle ofthe royal family.

As he considered these factors, Enoch thought that it would be a good idea if he could formallysever the relationship between Layla and the royal family. If he could also pull the other fiefs to hisside, then it would even be better. In that case, the king would have fewer people to support him.Then, a Spiritual Emperor suddenly rushed in and reported, "Your Royal Highness, I just received apiece of news that both the Primitive Fief and Purgatory Fief have a falling out with Prince Zain. Itseems that it happened after both fiefs suffered a heavy loss during the most recent confrontationagainst our army. They formally declared that they do not support the prince anymore.”

"Hmm, really?" Enoch stroked his chin and was a bit surprised to hear this sudden turn of events. Ofcourse, he knew that it was not a bad thing for him. Without the support of the two fiefs, and withZain's current condition, he would not be a threat anymore.

"What should we do, Your Royal Highness? Are you going to send someone to persuade them intosupporting you instead?" the Spiritual Emperor asked.

"Not now. It sounds so convenient that this might only be a trap. For now, we'll wait and see whatwill happen next." Unlike Zain, Enoch was more discerning. He knew that the Primitive Fief and thePurgatory Fief had been actively supporting Zain since the beginning, so he thought that the timingof the falling out was a bit suspicious. Hence, he decided to wait and see how the situation wouldunfold.

"How about the Ghost Fief? Is there anything suspicious going on with them?" Enoch asked withnarrowed eyes.

"No. We have not noticed anything noteworthy.”

"Humph! After Odin came back, he did not make any noise or movement. I can't figure out whatthat guy is thinking. He now had the Purgatorial Tripod in his hand, so not even the king would dareto offend him. We must replace a way to get rid of him first before he caused huge trouble again!”Enoch snorted coldly upon remembering how Rocky had thwarted all of his plans. Now, he wasforced to rebel against the royal family for failing to obtain the tripod from him. However, as muchas he wanted to deal with Rocky immediately, he could not act rashly because Layla was on theyoung man's side. Obviously, the princess would summon her forces in order to protect Rocky andthe tripod.

A few days eventually passed, and a guard suddenly came to Gilbert's mansion to deliver aninvitation.

"Sir, the royal family is asking you and the two Godly Geniuses to attend the Beast-fighting Festival.The invitation says that it will be held in three days,” the guard said after handing the invitationover.

"I see. You may now leave.” After taking a look at the invitation, Gilbert ordered one of his men tosummon both Rocky and Valeria.

Once they came, Gilbert showed the invitation to them.

"What is with this festival? Is it something grand?" Rocky asked, not having a clue.

"Yes, it is. In fact, this is the most ancient festival since the Shura Race was established. Back then,the Shura Race was not yet favored by the deities. So, in order to survive in the Shura Continent, ourancestors fought all kinds of diabolic beasts and spiritual beasts with their bare hands and hand-crafted weapons. Later on, as you know, the Shura Race became the chosen race by the deities. Butin order not to forget where they have begun, our ancestors started celebrating this festival,” Gilbertexplained in detail.
