Chapter 1074 The Best Option

"I think that's the best option. If you push through with your engagement with Shirley as Prince Basil, Alston will have no reason to stop you. Moreover, with your three identities as Prince Basil, Prince Crimson, and the fourth Great General of the Holy Dragon Empire, if your engagement is pushed through, you will immediately gain a strong foothold in the royal family. I do not think even Alston can shake your position. Besides that, the people of the Holy Dragon Empire support you more than Alston. When everything is in place, we will unite the three army groups, including the Sky Army Group, and all other forces. At the same time, we will put pressure on the royal family's Emergency Chamber to remove Alston's position as the acting emperor and recommend you inherit the position of the emperor. If everything goes according to plan, Alston will definitely lose." Marcia had already planned this out thoroughly. Now that everything was ready, she only needed to wait for the final step.

"But I am already married to Isis. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for me to push through with the engagement with Shirley, don't you think so? Alston will certainly use it as an excuse..." Rocky answered after seriously thinking for a while.

"You must remember that you are the Prince Crimson of the Holy Dragon Empire now. It is normal for you to marry another imperial concubine. The most important thing we need to worry about is Shirley's agreement to this. That is the problem we need to address. This is very crucial. There is nothing we can do if Shirley doesn't agree. The whole plan is at stake here," Marcia clearly emphasized.

"I'm telling you as early as now that it will be difficult. We had a terrible relationship in the past, I think it would be impossible for her to agree unless her life depended on it." Naturally, Rocky would not hold any hope on Shirley agreeing with the plan.

"How will you know if you won't try? We should begin our preparations. Five days from now, on the centennial celebration of the Ximen Clan, Alston will go to them in person. That would be a good opportunity for you to make your appearance," Marcia said as she briefly glanced at Rocky.

Rocky smiled faintly. He would soon see the expression on Alston's face when Alston finally saw him.

Just as Rocky and the others were discussing the plan and preparing everything, Sabina suddenly sh

Clan. Through this, the clan's balance remained.

It was precisely because of this marriage control that any change in the Ximen Clan would greatly affect the entire Holy Dragon Empire.

Even though the Ji Clan was the second largest clan in the Holy Dragon Empire, they might not be able to defeat the Ximen Clan with double strength and influence.

So as the centennial celebration of the Ximen Clan was about to commence, everyone came to congratulate them in this milestone. The royal family down to the slightly famous people came to gain favor with the Ximen Clan.

However, there was another important reason that everyone came to the celebration. A few days ago, the current acting emperor had officially proposed to the Ximen Clan and wanted to make Shirley his wife. It was rumored that he would personally visit the clan on the day of the centennial celebration.

And now, the news had spread all over the empire. The Ximen Clan often engaged with the royal family by connections through marriages. But because the Ximen Clan was almost the same origin coming down in one continuous line, the direct generation of the Ximen Clan always married their sons to the women from the royal family. They had never married their daughter into the royal family. However, Shirley was the only heir of the Ximen Clan in her generation as no son was born.

The possible fact that the only heir of the Ximen Clan was conferred the title of wife by the acting emperor was a big event for both the royal family and the Ximen Clan. It was even related to the clan's centuries-old foundation!
