"General Lance, please ask Isis to come here. I'm going to take you with me. We will meet with someone," Marcia said to Lance, who lifted one eyebrow curiously.
"Who are we going to meet?" he asked. Marcia's vague words had confused him and also aroused his interest. Surely, she wasn't planning something dangerous, right?
"You'll know when we get there. It will be just the three of us, so don't bring any attendants with you. Disguise yourself, and make sure that nobody can recognize you. I'll wait for you in the teahouse in front of the headquarters..." After saying that, Marcia disappeared from where she stood.
Not long after, Lance and Isis, who were both wearing a hooded cloak to cover their faces, went to the teahouse in front of the headquarters to meet with Marcia. Marcia looked around vigilantly as soon as she spotted them, then said to the father and daughter, "Follow me closely." After saying that, she walked into the street and easily blended with the crowd.
Meanwhile, the two were a bit alarmed because of Marcia's suspicious behavior, but they still followed her.
Marcia took the two of them and circled Evian City once, just to make sure that they weren't being followed. Then, they finally arrived at the inn where Rocky and his companion were staying. The three of them went upstairs, one of them walked with sure steps, while the other two were following behind her with uncertain steps. Finally, they came upon the end of the hallway, where an inconspicuous door waited stood.
"Isis, you can enter first. I'm sure the person inside wants to see you the most," Marcia said, nodding to Isis and gesturing at the door.
Hearing this, Isis was stunned. She looked at her father before she gently pushed the door open. She saw a familiar figure standing in front of an open window, and the air came in and caressed the strands of hair around his face. She had seen this so many times in her dream, but every time she could only see his back. Every time he turned to face her, he would disappear, or she would wake up.
Isis thought that she was dreaming once again. She stared at the figure, silent and still as a shadow. Perhaps she was afraid that he would disappear the moment that she moved, or maybe she was scared that she would wake up i
hy? Am I that ugly?" Rocky shook his head with a bitter smile.
"No! What I meant to say was that if it was a boy with a personality like yours, I don't know if he would flirt with other women like his father in the future. He might bring us a group of daughters-in-law..." Isis said with a teasing smile.
"When did I flirt with other women? You're hurting my feelings!" Rocky asked innocently.
"Didn't you? During your funeral back then, General Marcia, Her Royal Highness, Sabina, my cousin, and I all kept vigil beside your coffin. People who didn't know the truth would think that they were all your women. I don't know General Marcia's feelings about you. But I am sure the other women were all heart-broken..." Isis wanted to say something more, but hesitated at the last second. Anyway, it didn't matter anymore. Rocky should understand it very well by now.
"Really? Has Lena really forgiven me?" On the way back, Rocky had heard from Marcia that Lena had forgiven him a long time ago. However, there was still a knot in his heart, which could not be solved until he saw Lena.
"What happened between you and Her Royal Highness?" Isis couldn't help asking.
"I'll tell you later," Rocky answered vaguely, as he thought that it wasn't the right time to talk about it.
"By the way, where is Sue? Is she with you?" Isis suddenly asked. She thought that they might be together because Sue had disappeared right after Rocky had "died". Now that she thought about it, she wondered if he had taken her away.
