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 ce, 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 rmend you inherit the position of the emperor.
If everything goes ording to n, Alston will definitely lose." Marcia had already nned 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 n is at stake here," Marcia clearly emphasized.
"I''m telling you as early as now that it will be difficult. We had a terrible rtionship 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 n.
"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 n, Alston will go to them in person. That would be a good
opportunity for you to make your appearance," Marcia said as she briefly nced 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 n and preparing everything, Sabina suddenly
showed up. She rushed back to the base camp of the Evian City from the Ji n to report terrible
news.
"Sabina, does this mean that your younger brother in the Rime Army Group is missing?" Rocky asked
suddenly, frowning at the anxious look on Sabina''s face.
"I didn''t expect that Alston would be so desperate and despicable that he would even involve my
brother in this mess. It was my mistake. I should have definitely thought of it earlier." Sabina med
herself. She had already nned and thought of all kinds of situation that might happen, but she didn''t
expect that her brother who was serving in the Rime Army Group which was so far away would be
Alston''s target.
"Sabina''s younger brother seems to be one of the royal spirit maniptors who was in the same team
as you in the past, Rocky. Maybe there is a chance that you know him," Marcia softly murmured.
"Oh, is that so? What is his name?" Rocky intently looked at Sabina and asked.
"His name is Flint," Sabina uttered.
"What? Flint? He''s your brother?" Rocky was stunned when Sabina said Flint''s name. He never
expected that the blockhead who lived under the same roof with him and received the training for royal
spirit maniptors was Sabina''s younger brother. It was a strange coincidence.
"Wait, do you know my brother?" Sabina asked as she heard the tone of Rocky''s voice and saw the
strange expression on his face.
"Oh, more than you would expect..." The corners of Rocky''s mouth lifted slightly turning into a smile,
but his expression suddenly became serious. "Flint''s disappearance must be done by Alston. Alston
must be nning to use him to threaten the Ji n. Although what Alston did would just certainly
arouse the anger of the Ji n, he did not want the Ji n to be one of the forces that were
against him. That was why he captured Flint. From this, we can assume that Flint is safe now."
"The Ji n has sent arge number of people to look for him, but I''m afraid that my brother might
have been taken back to the Pce City," Sabina said anxiously. She couldn''t stand that her brother
was held captive by Alston.
"Sabina, you don''t have to worry! I will surely find a way to figure out Flint''s whereabouts," Marcia
Although the disappearance of Flint definitely made their n more difficult, the original n did not
change. They knew they had to deal with Alston as soon as possible!
Meanwhile, the whole Ximen n was packed with people even though the centennial celebration had
not yet arrived. This scene was much livelier than Elvis''s birthday party. Of course, the reason why
everyone was celebrating was the powerful force of the Ximen n and its influence in the Holy
Dragon Empire.
The Ximen n was one of the most important families in the Holy Dragon Empire. They were the
confidants and the most capable assistants of the emperors for countless generations. So, they were
also supported by the people of the Holy Dragon Empire. It was no doubt that the Ximen n was the
Holy Dragon Empire''s indispensable backbone.
The Ximen n had been promoted to a higher level ever since Bryant took over. The establishment of
the Sky Army Group made the Ximen n have its own military power. After decades of development,
the Sky Army Group had be the strongest military force among the four major groups of the Holy
Dragon Empire. In addition, Bryant was one of the few masters at the Immortal Stage in the Holy
Dragon Empire. So, the Ximen n was now certainly at its peak of development.
The Ximen n was also the rtive of the royal family, and their connection with the royal family was
closer than any other n. Therefore, there were very great interests between the Ximen n and the
royal family. So, the royal family of the Holy Dragon Empire''s greatest worry was that one day the
Ximen n might rebel against them. Therefore, the emperors from numerous generations had
granted marriage to the Ximen n. Through this, the n''s bnce remained.
It was precisely because of this marriage control that any change in the Ximen n would greatly
affect the entire Holy Dragon Empire.
Even though the Ji n was the secondrgest n in the Holy Dragon Empire, they might not be able
to defeat the Ximen n with double strength and influence.
So as the centennial celebration of the Ximen n was about tomence, everyone came to
congratte them in this milestone. The royal family down to the slightly famous people came to gain
favor with the Ximen n.
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 n and wanted to make Shirley his
wife. It was rumored that he would personally visit the n on the day of the centennial celebration.
And now, the news had spread all over the empire. The Ximen n often engaged with the royal family
by connections through marriages. But because the Ximen n was almost the same origining
down in one continuous line, the direct generation of the Ximen n 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 n in her generation as no son was born.
The possible fact that the only heir of the Ximen n was conferred the title of wife by the acting
emperor was a big event for both the royal family and the Ximen n. It was even rted to the n''s
centuries-old foundation!
