Chapter 1019 A Gift For Rocky

"I hope you can do me a favor, but whether you agree or not is your own decision," Alyssa answered. Her voice was trembling, and her hopeful gaze was fixated at Rocky.

"And what favor would that be?" Rocky asked doubtfully.

"After you exact your revenge, I hope you can give the throne of the Holy Dragon Empire up," Alyssa said after a moment of hesitation. She then bit her pink lips, nervously waiting for Rocky's answer.

"Well, if that's your request, I'm sorry, but I can't promise you anything now," he said with a frown. If he defeated Alston, he would definitely become the heir of the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire. It was only natural that he would sit on the throne one day. He didn't understand why Alyssa asked him to give up the throne, but he didn't ask. Just like he knew that she must have her own reasons, he also knew that she wouldn't tell him now. Alyssa obviously only wanted him to agree to her request with no question asked. Although he didn't want to turn her down outright, his answer was actually already very clear.

"It's not too late to think about it after you have your revenge. I know that the chance of you agreeing to my request is very small, but I still have to ask." Alyssa understood very well that Rocky was most likely going to refuse, but she still wanted to try because once Rocky became the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire, they would probably end up as eternal enemies. Moreover, her only hope to solve the curse placed on her would be lost.

"Have you decided whom you're going to send to inform Marcia?" Rocky changed the subject. He planned to stay in Woods' mansion and leave for the Holy Dragon Empire immediately after all the matters here were settled.

"Just to be on the safe side, I'm going to send Laney. After that, she'll stay in the Holy Dragon Empire and work for you. Although Laney isn't a spirit manipulator, she's someone who's stayed by my side for years, and she's also very good at collecting information. I believe that her ability will come in handy soon. Furthermore, if there's ever the need to, you can also contact me through her." Alyssa had planned this for a long time. Of course, she also had another purpose for sending Laney to Rocky's side. She wanted to keep an eye on every move he made in the future so that she could make corresponding actions whenever she had to.

"Is this a surprise gi

ginally occurred because of her provocation. Now that Alyssa was doing such a weird thing as sending Laney, who used to be a spy in Evian City, to meet her in broad daylight, she naturally had to be careful. She also had to think of their purpose, but she obviously couldn't figure it out in such a short time.

This wasn't the first time that Alyssa had broken into their capital. Last time, she showed up at Basil's funeral ceremony, and it really pissed all of them off, but at least there was still a valid reason for her to do what she did. Now, what did she send Laney to her for?

"Her Royal Highness sent me here to bring news to General Marcia. Her Royal Highness told me that General Marcia will be more than happy when she hears it. However, Her Royal Highness also instructed me to keep you in suspense as long as I can. It can be regarded as our revenge to General Marcia for snatching away the treasure box," Laney explained bluntly to dispel Marcia's doubts.

"Is that so? What if I refuse to hear the news? I'm rather busy to accompany you to play games. And I doubt the news Alyssa brings me will be worthwhile. It feels more like a trick to me. I'm almost sure I want to hear it. By the way, did she send you here because she thought I won't do anything to you just because you're delicate and aren't a spirit manipulator? You know… she's wrong. I've never shown mercy to my enemies!" Marcia said with a cold smile. She walked towards Laney in a calm and powerful manner. Her whole body seemed to emit a kind of oppressive feeling that could make Laney shudder all over.
