Chapter 1105 Another Conspiracy

When Rocky returned to the hall, Lena, Sabina and Lucilla were laughing and talking, putting aside the crisis they had gone through to the back of their heads. The entire hall was filled with their chirps. Rocky smiled and remembered the saying—"Two is company, three is a crowd."

"Basil! Where is Erica?" Lena walked up to him and wrapped her hand around his intimately as soon as she saw him come in.

"She's gone," Rocky replied.

Sheridan coughed from beside them. "Please behave yourself, Your Royal Highness! There are people coming and going. Aren't you worried that people will find out?"

"I don't care! Lucilla abandoned the chief position of the Cao Clan for him. Why can't I do the same? I'll stay with Basil from now on. I am no longer the Witch!" Lena replied casually. To her, nothing was more important than being with Rocky now. Although she was the Witch of the Holy Dragon Empire, she couldn't restrain her feelings for Rocky after having gone through so many ups and downs with him.

"If you refuse to take up your position as the Witch, I'm afraid I'll be seen as a sinner of the Holy Dragon Empire." Rocky shook his head and waved his hand to refuse her idea.

"Basil is right. The chief of the Cao Clan is by no means the same as being the Witch. Please think carefully before you act, Lena," Lucilla said in a sisterly tone, smiling at her.

"You are right, but if it weren't for me, Basil wouldn't have experienced so many setbacks and hardships. It's all my fault," Lena said, still blaming herself for what she had done. If she had forgiven him back then, everything that followed would never have happened, and Basil wouldn't have had to suffer through so many narrow escapes. Yet, he had risked his life again to save her. She didn't want to waste any more time staying away from him.

"That has nothing to do with you. It was all Alston's fault. Please don't blame yourself, Your Royal Highness," Sabina comforted. Her beautiful eyes turned cold as she thought of what Alston had done. Even though he was dead, Sabina still couldn't restrain her hatred for him.

"Let bygones be bygones, Lena. Although Alston did frame me, it is still true that I hurt you. That was our fate. We need to move on since we're all safe and sound now. Don't worry about the past anymore," Rocky said in a sincere tone, looking directly into Lena'

her mansion.

The moment he learned that she was back, Rocky went to her study to meet her.

"Where are Lance and Chief Elvis? Why didn't they come back with you?" he asked when he saw that only Marcia was there.

"General Lance is on his way back to the Crimson Dragon Group and Chief Elvis led his clan members back to their home. When news of Alston's death spreads far, our rival countries will take this chance to break through our borders. We should be ready for them," Marcia replied casually.

"So, they all went back?" Rocky murmured, a little absentminded.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Marcia asked when she noticed Rocky's frown.

He then told her about his conversation with the figure in the black robe the previous night. Marcia's expression changed quickly.

"So, His Majesty is imprisoned in the Dragon Master Clan now?" she asked, taking in this new information. Although it was disheartening that the emperor was imprisoned, it was good to know that he was still alive.

"That's what he said, but I'm worried that this could be another conspiracy of the spiritual race," Rocky answered with a deep frown.

"So, what are you going to do now?" she asked, tapping her fingers on the table.

"Even if what he said is true, to get my father back, we must find the spiritual treasure sealed in the forbidden area of the royal family. Alston couldn't even find a chance to step into the forbidden area, let alone find the spiritual treasure. Getting in there is a huge problem for us too," Rocky analyzed and his expression became grimmer.
