Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 707 I Cannot Stop Loving Him

"Keep this secret between us. You can't tell him, or else, he'll get annoyed. I know this soundsridiculous, but he and I are not a real couple. What everyone thought of us was a sham. Ourrelationship was only a deal,” Isis pleaded Sabina. She grabbed her hands and asked forunderstanding, making it hard for Sabina to refuse her request.

"I promise you that I won't tell a single soul. But you have to think it over. It's your own life that's atstake here,” Sabina replied with a heavy sigh. Now that things had gone this far, she was in noposition to judge Isis or Rocky in what they had done. After hesitating for a while, she took a fancybottle from one of her pockets and handed it over to Isis. “The powder inside this bottle can wipeaway a part of his memory. With only a small amount of it, people could forget what they havedone during the past two hours. Should you decide to do this and at the same time not cause himany trouble, it is best that you let him take just a tiny dose. In this way, he'll never know what he'sexperienced. But you still have to promise me that you will keep this secret until you die. Rocky mustnever know about it. And I am the only person who can tell him."

On the other side, Isis was confused as she did not expect that Sabina would even help her with this.But as much as Sabina was so eager to help her, Isis could not help but feel upset about hersuggestions

"I won't let him know. I swear," Isis replied with certainty as she took the bottle in her own hands.Sabina gave her a cold glance and then vanished in an instant.

Meanwhile, Alston was frustrated with the enemy as days went by. Being at the front line against theTimber Deity Empire, he became furious when he heard the news that Rocky had won Mont Cityback from the Holy Sea Empire. Words could not explain how dejected and disappointed he wasthat Rocky could make winning seem easy. Alston had tried his very best to destroy any possibilitythat would make Rocky return to the eyes of the people. But no matter how hard he tried, his effortswere still in vain. Rocky had made such a huge achievement, but things were not good for Alston.He was nothing but a pathetic and ambitious leader who could not even settle things in theCrimson Dragon Army.

"Your Royal Highness, I just got the news. General Lance has announced the removal of positions ofboth Rocky and his daughter. The couple will be heading to the Imperial City soon.” One of Alston'shenchmen came in and reported.

"What did you say?" Alston's face froze for a moment as he was in disbelief. “This is the last thing Iwant to happen! If Rocky and Isis are planning to go to the Imperial City and see the emperor, thenthe emperor would probably recognize that Rocky is no other than Prince Basil!" Alston thought.With Rocky's popularity in the Crimson Dragon Group plus the great contribution he had just made,the emperor would most certainly forgive him for what he had done. Moreover, it was possible thatthe emperor would confirm the prince's identity.

Through investigation, Alston had found out the identity of the master of the Supernal Stage whowas protecting Rocky—it was no other than Sabina. She was Marcia's apprentice, the seconddaughter of the Ji Clan. What was more was that she was his fiancee's younger sister. Now that heknew about this matter, he had started to doubt if Marcia really knew about Rocky's real identity. Ifso, then he needed to be more careful with his actions. If the emperor found out what he had doneto frame Rocky, then he would deal with such a big problem.

"No, what I need to do is to stop him from going back. He'd better disappear from this worldforever!” Alston said to himself. In the meantime, Alston was well aware that it was not so easy toeliminate Rocky with Sabina around protecting him. With this in mind, he needed to come up with anew plan on how he could stop Rocky from returning to the Imperial City.

"Your Royal Highness, I heard that the people of the Timber Deity Empire appreciate him very much.In fact, they have always offered him a high position and treated him with respect. How about wedo something to force him to turn into a traitor? It doesn't have to be true. As long as the emperorbelieves that he's a deserter, it will be enough. By then, the Holy Dragon Empire will have no suchprince. Therefore, we will have nothing to fear.” The black-robed spirit manipulator gave the idea."A traitor? That's quite interesting! Hmmm... Tell me more about your plan.” Alston's eyes lit up andcontinued, "That's a fabulous idea. As long as we can force him to betray, then he will never beallowed to go back to the Holy Dragon Empire for the rest of his life. But how can we do this asclean as possible? I mean, we need to take advantage of his weakness to threaten him, and it mustbe powerful enough to nail him down and soil his reputation. Isis was his wife. However, she's notsomeone we can take advantage of. She's Lance's only daughter, and if something happens to her,Lance will definitely fly anywhere just to save her.

Go and replace out what makes Rocky weak. Exhaust every means!" Alston ordered.

"Yes, sir!" the spirit manipulator nodded and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"I will make you regret opposing me..." The corner of Alston's mouth curved a little bit upward as hemade a mischievous smile.

Meanwhile, two days had passed when...

Rocky went to Lance's camp to discuss the necessary of going back to the Imperial City. However,after he sat down with Lance, they were interrupted by an urgent message from the main camp.Without any time to spare, Lance opened the letter hurriedly. His eyebrows began to meet as he gotconfused at what he had just read in the letter.

"What's wrong?" Rocky inquired with concern.

"The eldest prince said that Crimson Dragon Army is now in danger, and he needs your help,” Lancesquinted his eyes as he replied. Afterwards, he put down the letter on the table. Seeing that thetiming was not right, he found the message quite a bit odd. "Why did this message arrive whenRocky was just about to set out to Imperial City?" Lance thought.

"Oh, so he needs my help?" Rocky said slowly as he found the letter's content to be unbelievable.Deep in his gut, he had sensed that Alston might be playing another trick on him.

"Don't worry. I'll replace an excuse for you to refuse him. You and Isis will start your journey to ImperialCity right away," Lance said after hesitating for a while.

"No, but still, thank you for your kind consideration. He won't leave it at that if I go away and I betthat he'll look for more trouble. He's a prince and has the right to order anything from me." Rockyshook his head in disagreement. In his opinion, it would be good for him to have an excuse not togo back to the Imperial City.

"But you must understand that the eldest prince must be plotting something against you..." Lancesaid with concern and worry in his eyes.

"Don't worry about me. I'll be careful,” Rocky calmly said with a smile.

"Okay. If you say so. But you have to promise me that you'll go to the Imperial City with Isis whenthe battle with the Timber Deity Empire is over," Lance requested.

As a reply, Rocky nodded in approval. He was going to refuse going back there as long as possible.Once they defeated the Timber Deity Empire, there would be no excuse for Alston to stay at theGehenna Border any longer. Unfortunately, Rocky was so infuriated that he got a headache justfrom thinking about what Alston might have planned for him. He might be worried, but he was notat all afraid of Alston because, at this point, Rocky believed that Alston didn't have the strength towin him anymore. However, Rocky was more worried about the fact that Alston might endanger thepeople around him. Although he lacked in the number of forces that he had, Rocky was still at easethat he had successfully taken the first step.

Later, Rocky returned to his room to pack up his things as soon as he finished his chat with Lance.But as soon as he was about to inform Isis, she already came to him with Sue, who held a tray in herhands. On the tray were wine cups and a wine pot.

"Father mentioned that you are going to the main camp to help the eldest prince,” Isis asked andlooked at him straight in the eyes.

"Right. You know I won't go back to the Imperial City. That's a perfect excuse for me. But if Alstonkeeps on acting like that, then the Crimson Dragon Army will lose. I'm not going to help him.Instead, I am keeping my word on helping the Crimson Dragon Army defeat the Timber DeityEmpire. And besides, if I refuse, Alston will look for more trouble from your father,” Rocky explainedto Isis patiently.

"But what about the thing that I have asked you to consider? Have you decided on it?" Isis askeddirectly, gluing her eyes on Rocky.

"I can't, Isis. I'm sorry, but can't agree with you on this one,” Rocky rejected her offer, after hesitatingfor a while.

"I knew you would say that. Forget it, I won't force you any longer. After all, this is just my opinion.Naturally, you turned me down based on your perspective,” Isis said softly, with a little bit of regretin her voice.

"Thank you for your understanding." Rocky might have rejected the offer as peacefully and as kindlyas possible, but he felt a kind of inexplicable guilt coming up in his heart.

"And by the way, do you have a minute to spare? Can we talk for a while before you go? I'vedecided to go back to the Imperial City without you. And I don't know when, but I'll surely meet youagain next time," Isis asked and at the same time instructed Sue to put the tray on the table besideRocky.

Without hesitation, Sue put the tray down, bowed to them, and left the room.
