The Medallion

"Your Royal Highness, please don't say that. It's all my fault. I'm the one that failed to help you," Gilbert insisted reassuringly as he shook his head.

"That's enough, you two. You act as if somebody died," Rocky teased the two, which didn't sit well with Gilbert.

"Odin, how can you even joke at a time like this?" Gilbert burst out and glared at Rocky.

"Well, I believe it might not be a bad thing that Layla's royal identity has been abolished!" Rocky explained as a matter of fact.

"What do you mean?" His words puzzled Gilbert and Layla, and the two sent him confused looks at the same time.

"Surely some members of the royal family must have objected to the king's questionable decision of appointing Zain as his successor, right? And since the king has abolished Layla's royal identity, everyone has found out what is on the king's mind, and that will inevitably start some talks within the royal family. Once the royal family loses the support of the people, it will be in big trouble." Rocky calmly shared his analysis of the situation.

"But without her royal identity, how can she make a comeback?" Gilbert asked dubiously, shaking his head with a sigh. He thought that Layla couldn't get the support of the royal family's members if she didn't have any royal identity.

"The royal identity is just a nominal label. If the majority of the people place their support on her, the royal family will be helpless to stop her," Rocky replied assuredly.

"Are you saying she should rebel like Enoch?" Gilbert asked. He was stunned by Rocky's suggestion because it was too daring. If they did that, they would literally have no way back.

"Yes, but not right now. The war between the royal family and Enoch won't end so soon. And besides, there's a saying that if two tigers fight, one of them might die, but the other one will surely be maimed. We can just sit around, recuperating and accumulating energy, while the two sides fight it out. We will bide our time and rebel against the royal family when the time is ripe," Rocky told them with a steely gaze.

"I understand, Odin. Leader Gilbert, if you are still willing to support me even when I have lost my royal identity, I won't let you down!" Layla understood what Ricky meant, so she immediately turned to Gilbert to confirm his support.

"Since I already chose to side with you, I will never go back on my word. You don't have to worry about me, Your Royal Highness," Gilbert reassured her of his loyalty.

"Listen, I have a plan. Leader Gilbert, you should approach the king in a few days, and tell him that you are willing to help Prince Zain fight against Enoch. Ask him to allow you to lead a group of elite spirit warriors," Rocky continued.
