Chapter 1038 You Are Really Alive

"Judging by your look, Alyssa must have told you the same thing, right?" Marcia asked when she saw the strange expression on Rocky's face. She gently smiled as if telling him that she exactly knew what was going on in his mind.

"Wait, do you mean..." The words just slipped right out of his tongue. It struck him that the two women had so much in common. He had to admit that he was surprised to hear it from Marcia, and that it was written all over his face.

"Well, it seems that my guess is right. Now I understand why Alyssa let you live after you were captured and treated you as distinguished guest when you were in the Timber Deity Empire. It's because you are the only person in the world who can help her remove the curse, the curse preventing her from being a real spiritual race." The way Alyssa behaved around Rocky was not like the cruel and proud princess that Marcia knew so well. Marcia guessed why Alyssa was acting so weird when she learned how Rocky was received in the Timber Deity Empire.

"But I don't understand. Why are you also looking for me?" Rocky asked. He couldn't be the one Marcia was looking for, even if he was indeed the one Alyssa needed.

"That's an easy question to answer. Since you can remove her curse, then you can do the same to my curse. Because although it involves different spiritual race bloodlines, her curse and mine are the same kind to a certain extent. We are both products of the human and spiritual race. Our curse is the same. However, I don't think she has told you how to remove the curse," Marcia said as she eyed Rocky with a skeptical look.

"She didn't tell me. But I don't think she actually knows how. But you know it, right? Is that what you're telling me?" Rocky understood the meaning behind Marcia's words immediately.

"How could she not know if I already knew? How naive of you to think that way. I'm afraid she doesn't want to tell the truth because you can only remove her curse when the two of you truly love each other and your minds genuinely blend as one. She knows that you two can't have that kind of relationship, so she didn't tell you." Marcia told him the only way to remove the curse.

Rocky then realized why Alyssa asked him to

the mediator again.

"Take good care of Lena for me please. We both know Alston has coveted her for a long time. I'm worried for her, so please keep him away from her. I know that things are harder now that Alston is taking charge of the empire. I'm afraid he will certainly try his best to hurt her," Rocky said with a frown, his eyes turning ice cold.

"I will certainly do that, even if you didn't ask. I will never let him lay a finger on Lena. I will teach him a hard lesson myself if he tries to do anything to her," Marcia snapped. She would definitely make Alston pay if he did something wrong to Lena.

"I'll leave her to you then. Please protect her. Alas, I think I should go now! I can finally have an ordinary life for myself," Rocky joked lightly. As a matter of fact, the waiting period would make him surely suffer. First, he wouldn't be able to go to Alston for revenge. Second, it wouldn't be a good time for him to see Lena to sort out the matters of his heart.

"In case you need anything, do let me know," Marcia added sincerely before leaving.

Rocky nodded and bid farewell to Marcia with a slight bow.

Marcia watched Rocky as he went away. A gentle smile flashed across her face. She said to herself lightly, "I'm really happy to see you alive. You don't know how scared I was when I went to the Timber Deity Empire to see you. I was worried that Alyssa was just lying. But fortunately, it is true! I finally saw you! You are alive again!"
