Chapter 620 The Matter Happening That Year

"Sue, don't make tea now. Go to the opposite courtyard to prepare a room for Mr. Bai to rest. He has important things to do tomorrow," Isis immediately ordered.

"Okay, Miss Isis." Sue nodded her head obediently and promptly turned to Rocky. "Come with me, Mr. Bai."

With one last meaningful look at Isis, Rocky left with Sue.

On the opposite side of the Isis Pavilion, there was a quiet quadrangle courtyard. After Sue took Rocky into the courtyard, she chose a quiet room and cleaned it up for him. After that, she asked some people to prepare the bathtub and hot water and send them to Rocky's room.

"Sue, you are so considerate. I haven't taken a hot bath in ages." Rocky smiled at the comely sight of the hot water sprinkled with petals in the bathtub. He hurriedly took off his clothes and soaked himself. He felt peaceful, as he leaned comfortably at the edge of the bathtub. Before long, he was out like a light.

He dreamed of a beautiful face filled with bitterness and hatred. The person in his dream glared at him hatefully, arms outstretched. He twisted awake from the distressing sight, mouth opened in a scream. "Lena!"

At the same time, in the Palace City of the Holy Dragon Empire, the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire was discussing the state affairs with the ministers in the Grand Holy Hall. Suddenly, the captain of the guards hastily approached and knelt on one knee. "Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness has returned!"

"Lena is back?" When the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire heard that, his face lit up with joy.

The ministers also began to whisper to each other.

Since Lena suddenly went to the Dragon Holy Land for cultivation a year ago, there had been almost no news about her. Therefore, many unsavory rumors circled throughout the Palace City. Everyone thought that something bad happened to Lena.

Meanwhile, Alston, who was standing in front of all the ministers, beamed in happiness. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Their heads turned when a beautiful woman sedately entered the Grand Holy Hall. Everyone was mesmerized by her graceful movements, her elegant temperament and exceedingly beautiful face.

All the ministers and even Alston were bewi

"If it's just this matter, you could have said it in front of all the ministers earlier. Do you have something else to tell me?" asked the emperor, with a sly look on his face.

Lena hesitated. Her body trembled slightly, as she tried to speak, "Basil..."

The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire was surprised to hear Lena mention Basil. It was hard for Lena to talk about what he had done to her, so the emperor didn't expect her to mention Basil.

"I know you can't forgive him. Anyway, he is my son, and he was punished already. Just let bygones be bygones." The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire sighed. He thought that Lena still bore a grudge from that event.

"It's not that I haven't forgiven him. I'm just a little disappointed. I wouldn't blame him if he came to explain afterward. After all, he was young and ignorant at that time, so it was inevitable for him to make mistakes. And..." Lena shook her head. She appeared to struggle for calm, as disappointment crept onto her face. "However, he didn't even look for me. Instead, he chose to escape. He preferred to be punished and leave the Palace City."

"Wait, Lena. Did you just say that Basil hasn't gone to find you? What about the fight in front of the Witch Palace?" The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire sensed that something was wrong. He thought that Lena knew about Basil's fight in front of the Witch Palace. After all, Basil's behavior at that time caused a great uproar, so Lena should have known that.
