CHAPTER 620 THE MATTER HAPPENING THAT YEAR

"Sue, don't make tea now. Go to the opposite courtyard to prepare a room for Mr. Bai to rest. He has

important things to do tomorrow," Isis immediately ordered.

"Okay, Miss Isis." Sue nodded her head obediently and promptly turned to Rocky. "Come with me, Mr.

Bai."

With one last meaningful look at Isis, Rocky left with Sue. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

On the opposite side of the Isis Pavilion, there was a quiet quadrangle courtyard. After Sue took Rocky

into the courtyard, she chose a quiet room and cleaned it up for him. After that, she asked some people

to prepare the bathtub and hot water and send them to Rocky's room.

"Sue, you are so considerate. I haven't taken a hot bath in ages." Rocky smiled at the comely sight of

the hot water sprinkled with petals in the bathtub. He hurriedly took off his clothes and soaked himself.

He felt peaceful, as he leaned comfortably at the edge of the bathtub. Before long, he was out like a

light.

He dreamed of a beautiful face filled with bitterness and hatred. The person in his dream glared at him

hatefully, arms outstretched. He twisted awake from the distressing sight, mouth opened in a scream.

"Lena!"

At the same time, in the Palace City of the Holy Dragon Empire, the emperor of the Holy Dragon

Empire was discussing the state affairs with the ministers in the Grand Holy Hall. Suddenly, the captain

of the guards hastily approached and knelt on one knee. "Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness has

returned!"

"Lena is back?" When the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire heard that, his face lit up with joy.

The ministers also began to whisper to each other.

Since Lena suddenly went to the Dragon Holy Land for cultivation a year ago, there had been almost

no news about her. Therefore, many unsavory rumors circled throughout the Palace City. Everyone

thought that something bad happened to Lena.

Meanwhile, Alston, who was standing in front of all the ministers, beamed in happiness. He had been

waiting for this day for a long time.

Their heads turned when a beautiful woman sedately entered the Grand Holy Hall. Everyone was

mesmerized by her graceful movements, her elegant temperament and exceedingly beautiful face.

All the ministers and even Alston were bewitched by her beauty.

This woman was none other than Lena!

The year she was gone had been good to her. She looked more graceful and mature.

"Your Majesty, I'm back!" Lena greeted the emperor elegantly, after she walked to the front of the hall

and bowed to him respectfully.

"You don't have to bow to me. I'm so happy you've come back." The emperor of the Holy Dragon

Empire also felt a bit guilty for what happened to Lena in the past. It was his son who committed the

mistake, but Lena got in trouble as well. The emperor immediately asked with concern, "How have you

been in the past year?"

"During that time, I have abandoned those negative thoughts and focused on cultivation. I have also

yielded a small harvest!" Lena answered calmly. Her face was bright like a fairy's, glowing and

unearthly.

"I've been so worried about you since you left one year ago!" Alston said to Lena.

"I don't think I deserve your concern!" Lena replied in a cold voice.

Alston's eyes widened in awkward surprise at Lena's rejection. However, he still smiled and said, "We

can see each other more often from now on!"

"You came at the right time. The ritual is just around the corner. I was getting worried that no one would

host it!" the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire suddenly said. His happiness was written all over his

face. In the whole Holy Dragon Empire, only Lena, the Witch, could talk to the messengers of the

Dragon Master Clan. Therefore, it would be very difficult to hold the ritual, if Lena wasn't there.

"Your Majesty, I came to tell you something important," said Lena. Her serious demeanor made the

emperor curious about what she was going to say.

"What is it?" the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire asked.

"I need to talk to you, alone," Lena responded.

The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire immediately tensed at that. He knew that there must be

something important, for Lena requested that. He immediately stood up and said, "You're all dismissed.

Lena, come with me!" With that, he left through the side door of the Grand Holy Hall.

Lena followed him quietly, without a single glance at the other people in the room.

Alston frowned, as he saw her retreating back.

"It must be something important," Priest Dean whispered as he approached Alston discretely.

"I want to know what it is," Alston said, giving Priest Dean a stern look in return.

"I'll talk to His Majesty and try to figure out what is going on." Priest Dean immediately nodded at that,

satisfied that he would soon find out as well.

Meanwhile, the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire led Lena into the Violet Cloud Hall and asked the

maids to leave. Soon, only the two of them were left in the hall.

The emperor immediately accosted Lena, as soon as they sat down. He asked, "What is it that you

want to tell me?"

"A month ago, I observed the astronomical phenomena at night. I deduced that there would be a big

disaster in the Holy Dragon Empire," Lena said in a serious tone.

"What disaster is it?" The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire tensed when he heard what Lena had

said. His face looked somber, as he thought about what it meant. Lena was born with a special talent, a

peculiar power that she inherited from the Dragon Master Clan. She was good at foretelling the future

through astrology. The most important thing, however, was that she had never made a mistake with her

divination.

"It would damage the country and bring calamity to the people," uttered Lena.

"It sounds so serious. What kind of disaster is it?" the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire inquired with

alarm.

"That's all I know. So, Your Majesty, you must be careful!" Lena reminded him.

"If it's just this matter, you could have said it in front of all the ministers earlier. Do you have something

else to tell me?" asked the emperor, with a sly look on his face.

Lena hesitated. Her body trembled slightly, as she tried to speak, "Basil..."

The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire was surprised to hear Lena mention Basil. It was hard for

Lena to talk about what he had done to her, so the emperor didn't expect her to mention Basil.

"I know you can't forgive him. Anyway, he is my son, and he was punished already. Just let bygones be

bygones." The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire sighed. He thought that Lena still bore a grudge

from that event.

"It's not that I haven't forgiven him. I'm just a little disappointed. I wouldn't blame him if he came to

explain afterward. After all, he was young and ignorant at that time, so it was inevitable for him to make

mistakes. And..." Lena shook her head. She appeared to struggle for calm, as disappointment crept

onto her face. "However, he didn't even look for me. Instead, he chose to escape. He preferred to be

punished and leave the Palace City."

"Wait, Lena. Did you just say that Basil hasn't gone to find you? What about the fight in front of the

Witch Palace?" The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire sensed that something was wrong. He thought

that Lena knew about Basil's fight in front of the Witch Palace. After all, Basil's behavior at that time

caused a great uproar, so Lena should have known that.
