The Medallion

After everyone left to rest, Rocky immediately called Marcia and stopped her in her tracks.

"General Marcia, I need you to do me a favor. Let's go somewhere private so we can talk," Rocky straightforwardly said to Marcia.

Marcia directed him to her study. He then told his idea to her. After hearing what he said, she was utterly shocked that her mouth was wide open.

"No, absolutely not. I will not allow it! It's too dangerous!" Marcia exclaimed firmly as she shook her head in disapproval.

"If we want to distract Alston and all the elites of the whole royal family by myself, this is the only option," Rocky said with complete certainty and conviction.

"Wait, but..." Marcia hesitated. She was really unsure about Rocky's proposal.

"I'm stubborn and extremely willful, General Marcia. You know that very well by now. Even though you object to this idea, I will do whatever I think is right," Rocky added seriously and firmly. His eyes were full of passion and conviction.

"Why won't you take care of yourself just this once? You should know that the others and I always worry about you..." Marcia, a little bit angry, stared at Rocky.

"Lena is waiting for me! We cannot delay this anymore! I need your help!" Rocky stared intently at Marcia with an indescribable look in his eyes. He was turning more desperate by the hour.

"I will grant you this favor, I promise you. But if anything happens to you, I won't let you go even if you die," Marcia warned Rocky in a dark tone.

"Thank you very much. I really appreciate it." Rocky gently smiled and then left the study.
