"Before that, I want to say something." She looked around the crowd thoughtfully then continued, "In this year's Beast Master Contest, both the Qi Clan and the Cao Clan have shown excellent performance. Tate from the Qi Clan and Beast Master Rookie from the Cao Clan have shown their great strength, especially in the final competition. This is why it is very difficult for me to choose a winner between them. Tate from the Qi Clan is a disciple of Immortal Hua, the Miracle Beast Curer. His medical skills were superb, and the Beast Curing Skill he practiced was also quite mysterious. He will contribute a lot to our Timber Deity Empire. I plan to recruit him to the royal family."
As soon as Alyssa finished speaking, all the other people in the hall became excited. They all thought that she was saying all these because the Qi Clan had won.
"Thank you for your appreciation, Your Royal Highness." Alexander's face lit up with joy. Like the other people in the audience, Alyssa's remark made him think that the Qi Clan would win in the end.
"He does have great medical skills but he is not honest. Even if he's talented, he's still a despicable man! Am I right, Your Royal Highness?" A man's mocking voice suddenly echoed from behind them.
Everyone's jaw dropped in astonishment, as they wondered who would have the audacity to say such things. They turned around only to find that the man was Rocky.
"How dare you talk to Her Royal Highness that way? Do you want us to end your miserable life?" Alexander was furious. His reddened face was distorted by his rage after he heard the way Rocky talked to Alyssa.
The others also thought that Rocky was bold for even daring to question Alyssa in public.
On the other hand, Lucilla and Lucas were worried about Rocky. If Alyssa's temper was stoked by his disrespect, it was not only Rocky who would be in trouble but also the whole of Cao Clan.
"Ahem!" Alyssa cleared her throat and glared at Rocky who, in return, gave her a meaningful smile. Seeing that smile, she felt unc
he spiritual pressure that was rushing to Rocky.
"Chief Alexander, Her Royal Highness is not even angry at him. You're overreacting," said Lucas who was sitting next to Rocky. It looked like he was the one who just saved Rocky.
"Your Royal Highness, he is so rude to you. You shouldn't be lenient with him for the sake of the royal family's reputation." Alexander turned to Alyssa angrily, hoping that she would punish Rocky.
"Your Royal Highness, I'm innocent! I hold you in considerable respect," cried Rocky in an exaggerated way.
At the sight of the exaggerated look on Rocky's face, she couldn't help but giggle, and everyone swooned at the sight of her smile as if there were a hundred of flowers in full bloom. She was so charming and gorgeous. Even the beautiful flowers in the hall seemed dull beside her radiance and beauty.
The others were shocked to see Alyssa smile and giggle like a child. She had never smiled in public like this, but now Rocky's words were like a balm to her irritated mood. At that moment, they thought that something must be going on between Alyssa and Rocky, as that would explain why she suddenly took him away for a whole night.
However, they couldn't figure out the relationship between the two that could influence Alyssa's behavior and even make her chuckle in public. That wasn't an accident at all.
