The Medallion

The room was tense, as Marcia stared at Laney down, her beautiful eyes narrowed in thought. "Does he know that Isis is pregnant with his child?" she asked.

Laney nodded but didn't say anything else.

"I see. Let Rocky know that he doesn't have to worry about anything. I will take care of things here, and I will protect Isis and the babe from Alston myself. Your princess is right, though. A despicable man like Alston will undoubtedly stir up trouble again if he finds out that his younger brother is still alive. We need to get ready for that." Although Marcia still didn't know why Alyssa would help Rocky, she had to admit that Alyssa had a point.

"General Marcia, I've told you everything I know. But if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I will tell you everything I know!" Laney volunteered, looking into Marcia's eyes to prove her sincerity.

"Tell Alyssa that I will go to the Timber Deity Empire in person." As cautious as Marcia, she would never trust Laney completely. She would go to the Timber Deity Empire in person, and if they were telling the truth, and Rocky was alive, she would take him back then. But before anything else, she needed to confirm it first.

"I will. If there's nothing else, I'm leaving now. If you need anything from me, you can find me in the Fragrance House, where I will be staying for now." After that, Laney bowed respectfully and left.

When she was gone, Marcia got up to leave the mansion and rushed to the Palace City to see the emperor. Even though she couldn't completely believe what Laney had told her, she still needed to let the emperor know. After all, it was about his son.

The emperor immediately summoned her when the servant told him that Marcia was coming.

"General Marcia, is there anything urgent?" She had never shown up on her initiative in the Palace City unless something important came up. The fact that she was here told him that there must be something special going on.

"Your Majesty!" Marcia greeted and cast a meaningful glance at the maids, who were standing behind the emperor.

The emperor caught her gaze promptly, and his curiosity ratcheted up to ten. "Leave us alone," he immediately ordered, waving his maids outside.

The maids left immediately, leaving only the two of them in the hall.

it's hard to believe, but it's true. The Dragon Twined Wood, which I used to seal the power of the Holy Dragon Bead inside Basil, still grows today. It indicates that the power of the Holy Dragon Bead still exists," Marcia insisted. To back up her words, she took out the Dragon Twined Wood and handed it

The thought that his younger son was still alive made him feel much younger himself. The ruddy complexion on his face flattened his wrinkles. And
