The Medallion

"Prince Crimson, do you know exactly why I let Erica be with you back then?" the queen of the Magic Phoenix Empire asked Rocky after Erica left the hall.

"Isn't it because you wanted Erica to bear my child?" Rocky frankly replied. He knew what the queen and Felicia were thinking, so he and Erica had always been very respectful to each other.

"That's only one of the reasons for sending Erica to you. The main reason is that I hoped Erica can bear your child to cultivate a better heir to the throne of the Magic Phoenix Empire," the queen said as her eyes flickered.

"What? The heir to the throne of the Magic Phoenix Empire? Wait, is Erica...?" Hearing that, Rocky had some guesses in his mind. The emperor of any kingdom was normally passed on hereditarily. However, the queen hoped that Erica would be pregnant with his child and become the heir to the throne. If the reason behind that wasn't because the queen loved Erica very much, then the only possibility was that Erica had an unknown identity.

"Her Majesty has already prepared to pass the throne to Erica. The reason she let Erica follow you is to lay a solid foundation for her to become the next queen. And if Erica is pregnant with your child, the next successor of our empire's throne will be secured. In this way, our queen will be at ease and finally abdicate," Felicia further explained.

"I have been thinking about whether I should tell Erica the truth, but I haven't found the right time. Now that the Magic Phoenix Empire is facing such a predicament, I don't want her to shoulder the heavy responsibility completely alone," the queen said with a serious look in her eyes.

"So, you mean to say, Erica is your daughter?" Rocky was a little surprised by this. He didn't expect that Erica had such a background, but it seemed that Erica was completely unaware of it.

"Yes, Erica is the princess of the Magic Phoenix Empire and the only child of Her Majesty," Felicia said to Rocky's utter surprise.

No one had expected that Erica was the daughter of the queen. Only Felicia and the queen knew about Erica's identity. It was an absolute secret.

Back then, as the previous queen's heir, the current queen fell in love with an ordinary man. At that time, the previous queen, Erica's grandmother, objected and forced her to break up with the man. However, she was already pregnant. To avoid any scandal, the child was sent to a foster family after she was born.
