Chapter 753 A New Spotlight

"It's none of your business!" Lena shouted angrily. The only thought that ran in her mind was avenging Basil.

"Hold on, Lena!" Marcia stepped in the way of Lena and prevented her from dashing out.

"Get out of my way, Marcia! She's the one who killed Basil. I'm going to end her! Even if it won't bring Basil back!" Lena didn't understand why Marcia stopped her, when Marcia should instead kill that woman with her.

"Lena, please stop for a moment and think about what you're going to do. If what she said was true, then we need to look into it first before acting hastily. It will also be disrespectful to Basil if you attack her in his mourning hall." Marcia analyzed the situation calmly.

As Marcia said this, Lena stopped struggling. She sneered, as she kept her eyes on Alyssa, still casting her a murderous look.

Alyssa also withdrew her spiritual power when she saw Lena withdrew hers. She only wanted to pay respects to Basil. Alyssa looked at Marcia as a sign of thanks as she walked inside the mourning hall. She then burned an incense to worship.

"Why did you die? Every time I tried to kill you, you managed to get away. It's like you have nine lives or something," Alyssa said teasingly. "But why can't you stay alive this time? My only hope died with you. It's not fair. I hate you!" She gritted her teeth while staring at Basil's coffin, her eyes filled with resentment and her body shaking lightly.

Marcia and Lena, who were watching from the mourning hall entrance, were very surprised to see Alyssa's expression because as far as they know, Alyssa and Rocky were enemies.

Out of nowhere, a group of dragons flew over, blocking out the sun and covering the sky. They were fast approaching the Holy Dragon Imperial Tomb.

News of Alyssa entering the imperial tomb had already reached the emperor. He was shocked to hear this since Alyssa's country was at war with them. The emperor burst into a fit after realizing that an enemy easily got through their defenses. He immediately called for a royal member of the Divine Stage to catch her with the help of several master-hands of the Supernal Stage. Meanwhile, dozens of spirit-manipulators of the Heavenly Stage from the royal family were already on their way to the Holy Dragon Imperial Tomb.

After putting down the incense, Alyssa turned to Mar

ced Sabina's heart like a cold dagger. She made up an excuse and left the Crimson Palace.

Meanwhile, Lance came to the Crimson Palace as soon as he heard the news. He let out a grin upon seeing the emperor. Nothing could make him happier than having a grandchild.

When Isis woke up and found out she bore the child of Basil, she was flooded with conflicting emotion. She was happy for herself because she was going to be a mother, but at the same time she couldn't help but feel sad for Basil because he didn't have a chance to be a father, more so for the child who would grow up without a father.

The news that Isis was pregnant with Basil's baby spread like wildfire all over the Palace City, which shocked the citizens. Basil had been crowned Prince Crimson after he died, meaning the baby could inherit his title when it was born. If the baby was a boy, he would be the youngest one who got a title in the history of the Holy Dragon Empire. If it was a girl, she would be a princess whom the emperor would give everything she wanted. Regardless, if the child could inherit even just a bit of their father's brilliant talent, the empire would have a promising future.

In the following days, members of the royal family and military officials went to the Crimson Palace to greet Isis and her child. Not long after, the palace became completely flooded to the point that the emperor had to order a ban, worried that it might have a negative effect on his grandchild. Even still, the focus of the entire Imperial City was Basil's unborn child.
