Chapter 1818 Her Surprising Proposal

As soon as Rocky got back to the Ghost Palace, he saw Esteban, wearing an irritated expression on his face. Although he saw Rocky and Eunice enter, he just ignored them.

"Hey, old man. What's gotten into you? Who made you so unhappy?" Rocky asked in a teasing tone.

"Humph! It's all because of that bullshit of a royal family! Can you believe that they asked me to join the army just so I can be a military doctor? That's just ridiculous! Who do they think am I?" Esteban instantly lashed out, driven crazy by the absurd demand of the royal family.

"Then, what did the leader say? I'm sure he'll be against it," Rocky assumed.

"Well, he can't do anything, can he? This is a direct order from the royal family. Even he can't refuse them," Esteban replied as he rolled his eyes at Rocky.

"So, you're going? When will you leave?"

"Ha! I didn't say that I will go. They can't force me if I don't want to. I'm also warning you not to convince. Otherwise, I will recommend you in my stead! Your medical skills are fine now. Even if it is you, you'll do okay," Esteban snorted, threatening Rocky.

"Why did it take you so long to come back? Hey, old man. Are you up to something?" Rocky immediately asked Esteban with narrowed eyes.

"You, idiot! Eunice is a lady young enough to be my granddaughter! I had a good impression of her, so since she is staying here in the meantime, I've decided to treat her as my adopted granddaughter. I should warn you. If you dare do something bad to her, I will be your opponent!" Esteban declared with a serious expression.

Rocky was in a daze, not expecting that Eunice could instantly find a strong backer the moment she got to the Shura Race.

At the same time, Eunice just shrugged her shoulders while winking at Rocky.

Then, after sunset, just as Valeria said, Gilbert sent someone to invite Rocky and Esteban to the leader's mansion. It seemed that a welcome home party for Rocky would be held there.

However, as someone who was not fond of social gatherings, Esteban instantly declined. But of course, Rocky had to attend because the feast was about him.

Upon arriving at the banquet hall, Rocky saw that many people were present and most of the seats were already occupied.
