The Medallion

Vivian cast a glance at Rocky first before she answered Gilbert, "I'm going to explain it to you later."

Gilbert knew that Vivian should have a good reason, so he didn't need to pry further.

"By the way, have you and Princess Layla already met the king?" Valeria asked and looked at Rocky.

"Yes, we were able to talk to him," Rocky replied flatly.

"Then, what happened? Did the king confirm that the princess will be the next ruler?" Vivian asked in an expectant tone.

"Unfortunately, that is still hard to tell." Rocky could just shake his head and let out a bitter smile.

"Huh? What do you mean? I thought the king's task was to get Phillip's soul power? Princess Layla fulfilled that already and she was the first to come back. Why isn't it enough to make her the throne's successor?" Valeria's brows instantly furrowed, confused at the sudden turn of events.

"Well, it seems that the king did not expect that Princess Layla will be the one to accomplish the task. Obviously, he is biased toward the two princes. So, even if the princess completed the task, it is still uncertain who the king will choose," Rocky explained calmly.

"That's absurd. The king should have just appointed his successor if he will just take his word back. Did you mention to him that his brother colluded with the demonic race?" Vivian asked with hints of disappointment in her voice.

"Yes, we did. We told him what happened in the Demon Sealing Palace," Rocky replied and nodded.

"So, what did the king say?" At this point, both Vivian and Valeria were getting quite anxious. As they waited for Rocky's reply, they were thinking that their efforts in the Ghostly Demon Land might all be in vain.

"He said that he needed to talk with Prince Zain and Prince Enoch when they came back before he could make the decision. Of course, he would not believe us right away in case we were just making things up," Rocky answered with a sigh.

"We should have expected this. Obviously, the king wants to favor his family's side. I bet that if it was any other member of the royal family, he would have already charged that person with treason!" Valeria snorted coldly, thinking that the king was being unfair in his judgments.
