CHAPTER 751 MARCIA'S FEELINGS

"Marcia..." Lena's voice turned soft at the sight before her. No matter the situation, Marcia was always

strong and never shed a tear. But in this moment, tears streamed down her cheeks because of Basil's

death. Lena could only freeze in place while her hatred towards Marcia melted inside her heart.

Sadness and anger flooded her when she learned that Marcia hid the fact that Rocky was Basil from

her. After all, she treated Marcia as her own sister and so she didn't expect that Marcia would hide

something she wanted to know so badly from her. She didn't even get to see Basil for the last time

before his death. It was impossible for her to forgive Marcia so easily. Even though Marcia came to see

her afterwards to explain why she didn't want to tell her the truth, it was still too late and Lena couldn't

accept it.

However, in this moment, Lena decided to forgive her. Just like her, Marcia worried over Rocky and

even shed tears for him. Marcia was no longer the distinguished general of the Holy Dragon Empire,

but just a normal woman. Marcia always treated Lena like her own sister too, so it was impossible for

Lena to truly hate her.

Many royal spirit manipulators and palace guards guarding the imperial tomb were also witness to the

rare show of weakness. All of them could only turn to each other in shock and fill the tomb with

whispers.

More than her presence to personally mourn Basil's death, it was her tears that shocked them to their

core. She cried for him! Did this mean she have feelings for him too?

If news of this spread throughout the Palace City and the Imperial City, it would surely cause a huge

stir.

Just when Marcia was being overwhelmed by her sadness, a huge beast emitting a strong aura

appeared above the Holy Dragon Imperial Tomb and slowly descended from the sky.

A feeling of familiarity hit Marcia when she saw the shadow of the huge beast. It was quickly replaced

by shock when she recognized whose spirit-manipulated beast it was.

"Protect General Marcia and Her Royal Highness!" All of the imperial spirit manipulators and the palace

guards snapped to attention and immediately surrounded Marcia and Lena.

"Step back. She's not someone you can handle." Marcia waved them off, her tear-stained face turning

grim.

While the imperial spirit manipulators and palace guards looked at each other in confusion, they didn't

hesitate in following Marcia's order and immediately retreated to the side. Her expression made it clear

that their enemy was a tough nut to crack.

A strong wave of dust rose a dozen meters off the ground when the huge beast lightly landed on the

ground. All the imperial spirit manipulators and the palace guards could only tremble in fear when the

powerful aura at the Divine Stage washed over their senses.

"Marcia, she's...?" Lena turned in surprise at Marcia when she saw the might of their enemy's aura.

"She's the princess of the Timber Deity Empire, Alyssa Mu. She's at the Divine Stage and...we're

almost equal in strength." A frown marred Marcia's face as she responded. They crossed swords

before, so the information about Alyssa was ingrained deeply in her.

"Alyssa Mu? Is she the princess of the Timber Deity Empire that killed Basil?" Rage filled Lena's face

and her nails left deep crescent marks on her palms. This was her chance to avenge Basil.

Before she could move, Marcia held up a hand to stop her.

"Let me deal with her." Right after she spoke, Marcia turned into a shadow and disappeared without a

trace. In the next moment, she appeared in front of Alyssa and slammed a palm strike on Alyssa's

chest.

Contrary to their expectations, Alyssa didn't fight back at all and just took a couple of steps back to

avoid Marcia's strike. A burst of bright light appeared on her palm and it burned like fire. In just an

instant, the air around it violently expanded.

Bang! A tide burst out from where Alyssa stood and rose higher and higher by the second. The imperial

spirit manipulators and the palace guards on both sides were pushed back; even the very ground

ruptured at the sheer force.

The others could only stare in shock at the display of pure power. None of them expected that Marcia

would be so powerful. The strength of a spirit manipulator at the Divine Stage was awesome!

All of the imperial spirit manipulators and the palace guards distanced themselves from the two.

Otherwise, they'd be injured if they stayed any longer.

Besides, Marcia's desire to avenge Basil could be seen in her every move.

"Why aren't you fighting back?" When she saw Alyssa dodging her attack with no move to retaliate,

Marcia could only stop and look at her in confusion.

On the other hand, Alyssa was surprised to see Marcia here, but she calmly replied, "I didn't expect

that you'd be here. You and Rocky... No...he's supposed to be Prince Basil of the Holy Dragon Empire.

What's your relationship with him?"

"None of your business." Marcia's voice had a sharp edge to it. She straightened her spine and coldly

looked at Alyssa from head to toe. "What the hell are you doing here? This is the Imperial City of the

Holy Dragon Empire. Now that you're here, it'll be hard for you to get out. Of course, I won't let you

walk out of here alive."

As soon as she finished speaking, Marcia's aura rushed out and made it clear that she was a spirit

manipulator at the Divine Stage. All the imperial spirit manipulators and palace guards could do was

stare at the strong spiritual light surrounding her that glowed like the radiance of the holy fire. For most

of them, this was the first time they had seen Marcia put up a real fight.

"I'm not here to fight you. I'm here to honor him," said Alyssa. When she glanced at the mourning hall

and the gold coffin within, her face darkened. It served as proof to her that the news she heard was

true. There was no doubt that Rocky, or Basil to them, really was dead. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

"Honor him?" Alyssa's reply blindsided Marcia.

"I didn't expect him to be the prince of the Holy Dragon Empire. It seems I underestimated him from the

very beginning. Although I don't want to admit it, I really did lose to him," Alyssa gracefully conceded.

The proud princess of the Timber Deity Empire, who was once the nightmare of the Crimson Dragon

Army, personally admitted that she lost to Basil in front of so many witnesses. Everyone could only

stare at her, completely dumbfounded.
