Chapter 660 No News Of Him

"Why didn't you visit me after you returned?" Marcia said to Lena. She looked at her as if they were sisters.

"That would be inconvenient. You're the one who requested to not let others know about our relationship. I am just trying to be cautious," Lena replied softly.

Marcia and Lena were two of the most prominent personalities of the Holy Dragon Empire. One was the symbol and the other was the backbone. What was unknown to people was how close the two really were. They once lived in the Dragon Master Clan for a while and had fostered close relations with each other.

Lena was only twelve or thirteen years old when she first met Marcia. The two girls had to part ways when Lena was sent back to the Holy Dragon Empire. A few years later, Marcia appeared there too and finally they were reunited. However, the two had to conceal their relationship and Marcia also asked Lena to keep her background a secret. They did not let people see just how close they really were, only meeting each other for a few times.

Thus, Lena was one of the few people who knew the true background of Marcia.

"Okay, I forgive you. I'm just afraid that this will be the same as last year. You left in such a hurry. I didn't even have time to say goodbye. But what's done is done. Let's not talk about it." Marcia wanted to say something else but decided to keep it to herself. She did not want to surface bad memories.

"Actually, I asked you to come here to discuss just that. Maybe it's time we talk about what happened last year," Lena said, blinking her beautiful eyes.

Marcia raised her eyebrows in apprehension. "Prince Basil went too far. What he did is unforgivable. I would understand if that makes you upset. After all..." Marcia sighed.

"Honestly," Lena said, "I don't blame him." She shook her head and seemed serious.

"What do you mean? What he did is horrible. You should at least feel upset," Marcia suggested.

"Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Besides, I know Basil. He must have had a good reason for doing something that reckless," Lena said nonchalantly.

"I can't believe you're letting it go so easily. His crime is unforgivable." Marcia looked angry.

"I just have one question. Did Basil really break into the Witch Pal

. Is that correct?" Lena inquired.

"Only because he did something bad to you," Marcia responded firmly.

"But no one knows anything about Basil now. Not even where he is. Do you know where he is now?" Lena was starting to feel anxious.

For a brief moment, Marcia looked stunned. Then, a sly smile formed on her lips. "His Majesty doesn't even know where he is. Why would I do?"

"Really? I want to see him. I want to make sure he knows that I forgive him." Lena bit her bottom lip and tried to hold back tears. The past year had tested her and she was more mature now. However, the thought of Basil made her feel like a sad child again.

"Don't worry. He'll come back to you if he knows you care about him." Marcia put her arms around Lena.

"Yes. He will come back. He has to," Lena said, trying to convince herself.

"Alright. I have to go now. I'll see you again soon." Marcia got up and quickly turned to leave the Witch Palace.

As soon as she stepped out, her eyes fell to the floor. "Lena, I hope you forgive me for lying to you," she muttered to herself. "It's not yet time for you two to meet each other. You can't forgive him yet. He might lose his motivation. In this way, he wouldn't be able to control the strong and evil power of the Holy Dragon Bead inside his body. If that happens, he might die. But he would definitely come back. By then perhaps you find it in your heart to forgive me." Marcia's body trembled before she completely disappeared from the Witch Palace.
