Chapter 1818 Her Surprising Proposal


    As soon as Rocky got back to the Ghost Pce, 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


    instantlyshed 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 rmend you in my stead! Your medical skills are fine now. Even if it is


    you, you''ll do okay," Esteban snorted, threatening Rocky.


    "What? I am a Godly Genius. Of course, the royal family will not allow me to take such a risk," Rocky


    immediately retorted, finding a loophole if ever Esteban was serious with his statement.


    "Huh? Why not? The royal family thinks that Godly Geniuses are also dispensable just like everybody


    else." Esteban let out a frown, still pissed at what the royal family wanted him to do.


    "Fine. Enough about that. We can talk about it some other time." Since Rocky was not really interested


    in it, he did not want to dwell on it.


    "Anyway, this girl is pretty. How are you able to pick some random girl every time you go somece?


    You really are something! Is that a secret gift of yours?" Soon enough, Esteban noticed Eunice beside

    Rocky. He thought that among ordinary members of the Shura Race, Eunice''s beauty is on a different


    level.


    "Pardon me, sir. But I am not just some random girl. I am a decent one," Eunice immediately corrected


    him but in a polite way.


    "Ha-ha! You are glib. I like it!" In his short interaction with Eunice, Esteban''s mood seemed to get


    better.


    "You must be Master Esteban. Basil here often mentions you," Eunice said in a rather sweet tone.


    "Basil? Wait a minute..." Upon hearing Rocky''s human name, Esteban quickly pulled Rocky aside. "Are


    you crazy? Did you just bring a human with you? If the leader finds out about this, you know how big


    this trouble will bring to you!"


    "Don''t worry. We will be very careful. Besides, she''s not just an ordinary girl. She''s actually from the Di


    n," Rocky revealed with a faint smile.


    "Did you just say the Di n?" It seemed that Esteban was stunned upon hearing the name of the


    n. Afterward, the way he looked at Eunice also became very different.


    Then, Rocky also told him about the general situation of the Di n. After hearing that Jaiden was still


    alive and well, Esteban appeared to be pretty delighted.


    "Why do you look so happy all of a sudden? What exactly is your rtionship with the Di n?" Rocky


    was a bit confused after seeing the ted expression on the old man''s face. After all, he rarely saw him


    like this.


    "Stop asking too many questions! It''s none of your business!" In an instant, Esteban returned to his


    usual self and red at Rocky. Then, he approached Eunice with a smile on his face and said, "Since


    you''re still new here, why don''t I show you around? While you get familiar with the ce, we could also


    get familiar with each other. What do you think?"


    "Okay! That sounds nice." Eunice nodded immediately, excited to see more of the culture of the Shura


    Race.


    ''What is happening? This old man has never been so enthusiastic around me all this time. He must be


    hiding something. I''d say he has a close rtionship with the Di n...'' Rocky thought to himself,


    narrowing his eyes as he watched Esteban and Eunice leave.


    When the two left, Rocky had nothing more to do, so he went to the medicine hall.


    Not long after, Valeria arrived, apanied by two disciples from the Flower Fief.


    "Do you know where Master Esteban is? I''m supposed to meet him here," Valeria asked, seeing that


    Rocky was the only one there.


    "Oh, he''s actually out right now being a tour guide," Rocky replied indifferently.


    "Tour guide? What is that?" Apparently, Valeria did not know what the term meant because it was just


    usually used in modern society.


    Then, Rocky winked at her, signaling her to send her attendants outside for a while.


    "You two can go back first. My treatment might take a bit long. I''ll just ask Odin to apany me back


    The disciples just looked at each other, nodded at Valeria, and silently left.


    "So, have you thought about my proposal yet?" Rocky wasted no time and asked her directly.


    "Okay. Let''s talk about it seriously. I believe in the truthfulness of your intention. However, how can you


    guarantee that our Flower Fief will get most of the benefits after your n seeds?" During their back


    to the Ghost Fief, Valeria had been thinking about Rocky''s proposal carefully. In fact, she already came


    up with her answer.


    "Well, to be honest, I can''t fully guarantee that. After all, I am not one of the gods. But let me tell you


    something. Even the recement of the current royal family is part of the will of the gods," Rocky


    revealed with a straight face.


    "Are you serious?" Of course, Valeria was shocked. She never thought that the gods cared about the


    members of the royal family of the Shura Race.


    "You heard that right. However, as for the exact reason, I am not sure. I could just assume that the


    current royal family has done something bad to anger the gods." Actually, Rocky knew the reason, but


    he couldn''t freely tell anyone about it since it had something to do with the history and the secrets of


    the royal family.


    "I see. Then, here is my answer. If I am to agree on assisting you, you must also agree to my


    condition." After hesitating for a while, Valeria took a deep breath and told Rocky that she had already


    made up her mind.


    "All right. Let''s hear it." Seeing how serious Valeria was, Rocky also prepared himself.


    "I want you to marry me!" Hearing the words that went out of Valeria''s mouth, Rocky was shaken to his


    core.


    "What? Marry you? I thought that is thest thing that you wanted?" Rocky could not help but question


    her right away.


    "Well, that was before. But if we are to enter into this agreement, how can I ensure that you will fulfill


    your promise? If you want me to trust you, then you should have no problem agreeing to my terms. As


    long as I be your wife, you won''t be able to escape from me!" Of course, this was a smart idea. If


    Rocky somehow disagreed with this, it would only show that he was not serious with his promise.


    "I understand the logic of your decision. But I just think that it''s not fair to you," Rocky replied, saying


    that he was just concerned about her.


    "Humph! This isn''t a big deal anymore. You already saved me twice. You have seen almost every part


    of my naked body and you even touched them. Don''t you think that it''s even weirder? We''ve gone to


    that point without being married first. You should take responsibility for all of that!"


    Hearing all of this, Rocky was not able to utter a word. He was at a loss that these things woulde


    from Valeria herself.


    "Now, if you don''t have any objections, then it''s a deal," Valeria added, resolute about the conditions of


    the agreement.


    "All right. If you are fine with all of that, then I don''t see any reason to object." As Rocky finally regained


    hisposure, he deemed that Valeria''s conditions would not be a problem.


    "However, I''m just worried about Gloria. If she learned about our marriage, I''m sure that she would try


    to cause trouble again. Hence, I was thinking that we should get married the soonest. In fact, I already


    asked Elder Leticia to propose this to Leader Gilbert. I guess he should summon you soon enough


    regarding this." Indeed, Valeria had already nned everything in advance.


    "Don''t worry about Gloria. I''ll deal with her." Rocky was actually confident that Gloria would not cause


    any trouble since he already had her under his control.


    "Anyway, since Master Esteban won''te back so soon, why don''t you treat my wounds now?"


    Valeria asked shyly.


    "Of course, no problem." Afterward, Rocky prepared everything he needed and began to treat her


    wounds.


    Then, the moment Rocky finished with Valeria''s treatments, Esteban and Eunice finally came back.


    "Oh, Miss Valeria! It has been quite a while. I can see that you are getting even more beautiful!"


    Esteban really seemed to be in such a great mood that he even greeted Valeria passionately.


    "Thank you, Master Esteban. However, I''m afraid that I''m about to leave. Please excuse me." Valeria


    was not used to being praised that way, so her pretty face blushed hard. Then, after a moment, she left


    the hall alone.


    "Why did it take you so long toe back? Hey, old man. Are you up to something?" Rocky


    immediately asked Esteban with narrowed eyes.


    "You, idiot! Eunice is ady 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 dered 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 wee 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 upied.


    At the sight of Rocky, Gilbert immediately stood up and greeted him warmly. At the same time, the


    other elders of the Ghost Fief also stood up and cupped their hands towards the Godly Genius of their


    fief.
