Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

"What? Do you care to explain that further?" This time, Gilbert could not read Rocky's mind. He had no clue what the young man was planning.

"Well, let it be a secret in the meantime. I'm sure you will realize it soon," Rocky said, deliberately kept Gilbert guessing.

Although Gilbert still had some misgivings about it, he had no choice but to go with it since Princess Layla already agreed to Rocky's plans.

Then, as the two returned to the Ghost Fief, Gilbert began preparing for the wedding ceremony. At the same time, Rocky also started collecting more information about Zain and Enoch, Layla's biggest rivals in the selection for the next leader of the royal family.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the date of Rocky and Valeria's wedding was finally set, and it would be held a week later.

Rocky and Valeria glanced at each other and eventually left.

"I guess they are going to talk about supporting Princess Layla," Valeria told Rocky while they walked out of the meeting hall.

"Maybe. But do you think Leader Flora will agree to it?" Rocky asked. He had not heard whom Flora actually wanted to support, so he did not know if Gilbert could convince her.

"Well, I know that she is cautious in these matters, so she won't take a stand easily. I think she might only give her answer after we are officially married," Valeria answered, taking Flora's nature into consideration.
