The Medallion

Rocky had spent most of his time in Woods' mansion for the past few days. He focused on studying and refining the Holy Spirit Panacea, but inwardly, he was about as anxious as a raging river. Alyssa had not come to see him for a couple of days, and he was eager to know how things went on.

It was already getting dark when Alyssa finally showed up, just as Rocky expected.

"Hey, what's up? Is everything all right?" Rocky asked as soon as he saw her.

"Laney sent me a message earlier today. She said that Marcia is coming all the way here to see you in person." She paused when Rocky looked at her in surprise. "Are you surprised? I guess she is a very cautious person, which is wise of her. But I don't think she needed to come here in person. All she needs to do is to prepare everything to make sure that you can go back smoothly and safely. On the other hand, this might be a better idea. This way, I can rest peacefully knowing that she can protect you from any danger on the way back!" Rocky heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing the news. Marcia wouldn't come in person if she didn't believe Alyssa. Thus, she must have thought that he was still alive, which made things easier for him.

Even back then, he had been worried that Marcia would have found his death suspicious and would look into it, which would inevitably delay his return to his empire. Even if he tried to go back to the Holy Dragon Empire stealthily, it would still take a lot of time.

"Marcia will be here soon. I suggest that you stay inside this mansion until she arrives. I just received information that Geoffrey may have discovered your real identity. Many commanders have seen you during the war between your country and mine. And even though most of them are on my side, and most of them are still at the border, one or two may have returned to the capital. If Geoffrey confirms that you're Prince Basil, he will undoubtedly take this opportunity to kill you," Alyssa warned seriously.

"Okay, I won't leave this mansion," Rocky agreed, knowing that not only was his life at stake, but Woods and Alyssa could get in trouble too.

"That's it. This may be the last time we see each other in such a friendly atmosphere. If we get a chance to meet again, I'm afraid we'll be enemies," said Alyssa with a sad smile on her face. "So long, take care of yourself!" Truthfully, she didn't want to see Rocky anymore when she found out for sure that he was about to return to the Holy Dragon Empire. She couldn't make up her mind with what she had to do for her curse, so in the end, she gave up trying to decide for now.

"Please remember to pull your punches when we meet the next time!" Rocky teased with a relaxed look on his face.
