Chapter 707 I Cannot Stop Loving Him
"Keep this secret between us. You can''t tell him, or else, he''ll get annoyed. I know this sounds
ridiculous, but he and I are not a real couple. What everyone thought of us was a sham. Our
rtionship was only a deal," Isis pleaded Sabina. She grabbed her hands and asked for
understanding, making it hard for Sabina to refuse her request.
"I promise you that I won''t tell a single soul. But you have to think it over. It''s your own life that''s at
stake here," Sabina replied with a heavy sigh. Now that things had gone this far, she was in no position
to judge Isis or Rocky in what they had done. After hesitating for a while, she took a fancy bottle from
one of her pockets and handed it over to Isis. "The powder inside this bottle can wipe away a part of his
memory. With only a small amount of it, people could forget what they have done during the past two
hours. Should you decide to do this and at the same time not cause him any trouble, it is best that you
let him take just a tiny dose. In this way, he''ll never know what he''s experienced. But you still have to
promise me that you will keep this secret until you die. Rocky must never know about it. And I am the
only person who can tell him."
On the other side, Isis was confused as she did not expect that Sabina would even help her with this.

But as much as Sabina was so eager to help her, Isis could not help but feel upset about her
suggestions.
"I won''t let him know. I swear," Isis replied with certainty as she took the bottle in her own hands.
Sabina gave her a cold nce and then vanished in an instant.
Meanwhile, Alston was frustrated with the enemy as days went by. Being at the front line against the
Timber Deity Empire, he became furious when he heard the news that Rocky had won Mont City back
from the Holy Sea Empire. Words could not exin how dejected and disappointed he was that Rocky
could make winning seem easy. Alston had tried his very best to destroy any possibility that would
make Rocky return to the eyes of the people. But no matter how hard he tried, his efforts were still in
vain. Rocky had made such a huge achievement, but things were not good for Alston. He was nothing
but a pathetic and ambitious leader who could not even settle things in the Crimson Dragon Army.
"Your Royal Highness, I just got the news. General Lance has announced the removal of positions of
both Rocky and his daughter. The couple will be heading to the Imperial City soon." One of Alston''s
henchmen came in and reported.
"What did you say?" Alston''s face froze for a moment as he was in disbelief. ''This is thest thing I
want to happen! If Rocky and Isis are nning to go to the Imperial City and see the emperor, then the
emperor would probably recognize that Rocky is no other than Prince Basil!'' Alston thought. With
Rocky''s poprity in the Crimson Dragon Group plus the great contribution he had just made, the
emperor would most certainly forgive him for what he had done. Moreover, it was possible that the
emperor would confirm the prince''s identity.
Through investigation, Alston had found out the identity of the master of the Supernal Stage who was
protecting Rocky—it was no other than Sabina. She was Marcia''s apprentice, the second daughter of
the Ji n. What was more was that she was his fiancee''s younger sister. Now that he knew about this
matter, he had started to doubt if Marcia really knew about Rocky''s real identity. If so, then he needed
to be more careful with his actions. If the emperor found out what he had done to frame Rocky, then he
would deal with such a big problem.
"No, what I need to do is to stop him from going back. He''d better disappear from this world forever!"
Alston said to himself. In the meantime, Alston was well aware that it was not so easy to eliminate
Rocky with Sabina around protecting him. With this in mind, he needed toe up with a new n on
how he could stop Rocky from returning to the Imperial City.
"Your Royal Highness, I heard that the people of the Timber Deity Empire appreciate him very much. In
fact, they have always offered him a high position and treated him with respect. How about we do
something to force him to turn into a traitor? It doesn''t have to be true. As long as the emperor believes
that he''s a deserter, it will be enough. By then, the Holy Dragon Empire will have no such prince.
Therefore, we will have nothing to fear." The ck-robed spirit maniptor gave the idea.
"A traitor? That''s quite interesting! Hmmm... Tell me more about your n." Alston''s eyes lit up and
continued, "That''s a fabulous idea. As long as we can force him to betray, then he will never be allowed
to go back to the Holy Dragon Empire for the rest of his life. But how can we do this as clean as
possible? I mean, we need to take advantage of his weakness to threaten him, and it must be powerful
enough to nail him down and soil his reputation. Isis was his wife. However, she''s not someone we can
take advantage of. She''s Lance''s only daughter, and if something happens to her, Lance will definitely
fly anywhere just to save her.
Go and find out what makes Rocky weak. Exhaust every means!" Alston ordered.
"Yes, sir!" the spirit maniptor nodded and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"I will make you regret opposing me..." The corner of Alston''s mouth curved a little bit upward as he
made a mischievous smile.
Meanwhile, two days had passed when...
Rocky went to Lance''s camp to discuss the necessary of going back to the Imperial City. However, after
he sat down with Lance, they were interrupted by an urgent message from the main camp.
Without any time to spare, Lance opened the letter hurriedly. His eyebrows began to meet as he got
confused at what he had just read in the letter.
"What''s wrong?" Rocky inquired with concern.
"The eldest prince said that Crimson Dragon Army is now in danger, and he needs your help," Lance
squinted his eyes as he replied. Afterwards, he put down the letter on the table. Seeing that the timing
was not right, he found the message quite a bit odd. ''Why did this message arrive when Rocky was just
about to set out to Imperial City?'' Lance thought.
"Oh, so he needs my help?" Rocky said slowly as he found the letter''s content to be unbelievable.
Deep in his gut, he had sensed that Alston might be ying another trick on him.
"Don''t worry. I''ll find an excuse for you to refuse him. You and Isis will start your journey to Imperial City
right away," Lance said after hesitating for a while.
"No, but still, thank you for your kind consideration. He won''t leave it at that if I go away and I bet that
he''ll look for more trouble. He''s a prince and has the right to order anything from me." Rocky shook his
head in disagreement. In his opinion, it would be good for him to have an excuse not to go back to the
Imperial City.
"But you must understand that the eldest prince must be plotting something against you..." Lance said
with concern and worry in his eyes.
"Don''t worry about me. I''ll be careful," Rocky calmly said with a smile.
"Okay. If you say so. But you have to promise me that you''ll go to the Imperial City with Isis when the
battle with the Timber Deity Empire is over," Lance requested.
As a reply, Rocky nodded in approval. He was going to refuse going back there as long as possible.
Once they defeated the Timber Deity Empire, there would be no excuse for Alston to stay at the
Gehenna Border any longer. Unfortunately, Rocky was so infuriated that he got a headache just from
thinking about what Alston might have nned for him. He might be worried, but he was not at all
afraid of Alston because, at this point, Rocky believed that Alston didn''t have the strength to win him
anymore. However, Rocky was more worried about the fact that Alston might endanger the people
around him. Although hecked in the number of forces that he had, Rocky was still at ease that he
had sessfully taken the first step.
Later, Rocky returned to his room to pack up his things as soon as he finished his chat with Lance. But
as soon as he was about to inform Isis, she already came to him with Sue, who held a tray in her
hands. On the tray were wine cups and a wine pot.
"Father mentioned that you are going to the main camp to help the eldest prince," Isis asked and
looked at him straight in the eyes.
"Right. You know I won''t go back to the Imperial City. That''s a perfect excuse for me. But if Alston
keeps on acting like that, then the Crimson Dragon Army will lose. I''m not going to help him. Instead, I
am keeping my word on helping the Crimson Dragon Army defeat the Timber Deity Empire. And
besides, if I refuse, Alston will look for more trouble from your father," Rocky exined to Isis patiently.
"But what about the thing that I have asked you to consider? Have you decided on it?" Isis asked
directly, gluing her eyes on Rocky.
"I can''t, Isis. I''m sorry, but can''t agree with you on this one," Rocky rejected her offer, after hesitating for
a while.
"I knew you would say that. Forget it, I won''t force you any longer. After all, this is just my opinion.
Naturally, you turned me down based on your perspective," Isis said softly, with a little bit of regret in
her voice.
"Thank you for your understanding." Rocky might have rejected the offer as peacefully and as kindly as
possible, but he felt a kind of inexplicable guilting up in his heart.
"And by the way, do you have a minute to spare? Can we talk for a while before you go? I''ve decided to
go back to the Imperial City without you. And I don''t know when, but I''ll surely meet you again next
time," Isis asked and at the same time instructed Sue to put the tray on the table beside Rocky.
Without hesitation, Sue put the tray down, bowed to them, and left the room.
