Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

"Master, please don't make things difficult for Prince Crimson." Erica was in a shambles as well.

"This is the queen's order. I can't do anything about it," Felicia said slowly, allowing her tone to fade out on purpose, as though she really could do nothing to help.

"Basil, since the queen of the Magic Phoenix Empire is so generous, you'd better accept her offer. It's normally how two countries establish friendly ties," Marcia said to Rocky, shooting a look at Erica.

"But..." Rocky trailed off. He was surprised that even Marcia supported the idea, because no matter what, the Magic Phoenix Empire probably had their own motives to marry Erica to him.

"Just do as I say," Marcia snapped. Obviously, she had a plan of her own.

"Yes, just accept the proposal. You are Prince Crimson. Even if they offer eight or ten women to you, you have to accept them all. Otherwise, you will be looked down upon by them," Alyssa echoed, standing by Marcia.

Seeing the playful smiles on the faces of Marcia and Alyssa, Rocky knew that the two women were up to something. However, if the Holy Dragon Empire wanted to successfully ally with the Magic Phoenix Empire, he couldn't refuse. Moreover, he was Prince Crimson of the Holy Dragon Empire now. He needed to save face, despite knowing that the Magic Phoenix Empire had ulterior motives.

"Then you can stay with me from now on, as long as you are fine with it." Rocky finally resigned himself, turning to face Erica calmly.

When Erica heard that Rocky had agreed, her beautiful face lit up, but she nodded at him calmly.

"Basil, our emperor wishes to speak with you. Can you come with me to the Timber Deity Empire?" Alyssa said to Rocky abruptly.

"Alright," Rocky nodded and then looked at Marcia.

"Then, I'll take my team back to the Holy Dragon Empire to report," Marcia said.

"Okay." Rocky nodded once more.

And with that, Marcia left the Magic Phoenix Empire with the elite spirit manipulators of the Holy Dragon Empire, whereas Rocky went to the Timber Deity Empire with Alyssa and the other women, including the newest member, Erica.

It took them two days to get there. Lucilla and the other women went to the Cao mansion first, and Rocky followed

peaking, the Wood Clan should have one," Rocky muttered, obviously taken aback.

"What's wrong?" Alyssa asked immediately, raising her eyebrow in suspicion.

"Nothing. It's okay if there isn't any." Rocky couldn't hide his disappointment. After all, he wanted to know more about the forbidden items. The troubles that just took place in the Magic Phoenix Empire were caused by the Demonic Soul Cauldron, a forbidden item. The fight with the demonic beast that escaped from the Demonic Soul Cauldron also made him realize that forbidden items posed a great threat. Therefore, in case of any trouble, he also wanted to know the whereabouts of the other forbidden items besides the Demonic Soul Cauldron and the Evil-fight Divine Bead.

After a few more minutes of small talk with Woods, Rocky bade him farewell and Alyssa escorted him out of the palace in person.

"Basil, I can't leave the Timber Deity Empire now, so I can't fulfill my promise for the time being..." Previously, Alyssa had promised to go with Rocky after she was finished with her business. But now, the Timber Deity Empire had a lot of things to deal with and the country needed her. She couldn't leave the Timber Deity Empire for the time being.

"It's okay. I won't mind. Don't feel guilty. You can do whatever you want to do..." Rocky smiled at her. He knew that for the Timber Deity Empire, Alyssa was someone who was absolutely indispensable. Therefore, it was not easy for Alyssa to leave everything behind.
