The Medallion novel Chapter 1019

"I hope you can do me a favor, but whether you agree or not is your own decision," Alyssa answered. Her voice was trembling, and her hopeful gaze was fixated at Rocky.

"And what favor would that be?" Rocky asked doubtfully.

"After you exact your revenge, I hope you can give the throne of the Holy Dragon Empire up," Alyssa said after a moment of hesitation. She then bit her pink lips, nervously waiting for Rocky's answer.

"Well, if that's your request, I'm sorry, but I can't promise you anything now," he said with a frown. If he defeated Alston, he would definitely become the heir of the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire. It was only natural that he would sit on the throne one day. He didn't understand why Alyssa asked him to give up the throne, but he didn't ask. Just like he knew that she must have her own reasons, he also knew that she wouldn't tell him now. Alyssa obviously only wanted him to agree to her request with no question asked. Although he didn't want to turn her down outright, his answer was actually already very clear.

"It's not too late to think about it after you have your revenge. I know that the chance of you agreeing to my request is very small, but I still have to ask." Alyssa understood very well that Rocky was most likely going to refuse, but she still wanted to try because once Rocky became the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire, they would probably end up as eternal enemies. Moreover, her only hope to solve the curse placed on her would be lost.

"Have you decided whom you're going to send to inform Marcia?" Rocky changed the subject. He planned to stay in Woods' mansion and leave for the Holy Dragon Empire immediately after all the matters here were settled.

"Just to be on the safe side, I'm going to send Laney. After that, she'll stay in the Holy Dragon Empire and work for you. Although Laney isn't a spirit manipulator, she's someone who's stayed by my side for years, and she's also very good at collecting information. I believe that her ability will come in handy soon. Furthermore, if there's ever the need to, you can also contact me through her." Alyssa had planned this for a long time. Of course, she also had another purpose for sending Laney to Rocky's side. She wanted to keep an eye on every move he made in the future so that she could make corresponding actions whenever she had to.

"Is this a surprise gift for me?" Rocky asked with a smile. He was really surprised that Alyssa was willing to give Laney to him.

"No surprise, just a gift," Alyssa replied. The gaze she used to look at Rocky seemed to contain some inexplicable emotions.

"Then I have to thank you for your kindness. However, my guts tell me that Marcia won't believe the news Laney brings her." Rocky gave the matter some thoughts. A moment later, he pulled the Frozen Wind Dagger out of its sheath and handed the sheath to Alyssa. "Give this to Laney. This dagger was a gift from Marcia. I think she'll believe Laney when she sees this sheath."

Alyssa accepted the sheath. Without any other word, she turned into a shadow and disappeared into the dark night.

In the following few days, while waiting for news from Alyssa, Rocky focused on his gene experiments, the last stage of refining the spiritual crystal, and the taming of the Fire Rock Turtle.

Inside Marcia's mansion in the Holy Dragon Empire.

Marcia was working in her study. She'd been busy with reports about the war and other military activities from the borders where the Rime Army and the troops of other countries resided.

"General, there is a woman outside requesting an audience. She said she has something important to say to you in person!" a female guard reported loudly from outside the study. The sheer volume of the guard's voice distracted her from her work.

"Did she report her name?" Marcia asked without even looking up from the documents. But the disturbance made her brows a little wrinkled. Because of the position she had in the Holy Dragon Empire, there were always people wanting to see her for various reasons, so she was already used to this kind of thing. She usually ignored them. However, most of the people who wanted to see her were men, so she was a little curious to hear that a woman wanted to meet her.
