Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 1037

"General Marcia and I will try our best to make the arrangements for you, and we will get as much help as we can. We will also try our best to rally all the clans and other forces to support us." Lance paused for a second, as a stray thought entered his mind, and he asked, "But how do we arrange Basil's residence? It needs to be somewhere safe..." Since Rocky's identity could not be exposed yet, his whereabouts needed to be kept secret, especially the place where he would live.

"That won't be necessary," Marcia interrupted as another idea popped up in her mind.

"I beg your pardon?" Lance exchanged glances with his daughter, and then both of them looked at Marcia, confused.

"From now on, he is no longer Prince Basil. So, we won't restrict him. He can go anywhere he wants to," Marcia declared, looking at Rocky. Her words were vague though, so it only confused the others more.

"General Marcia, what do you mean? I can't quite catch what you are saying," Isis asked, hoping that Marcia would explain her words.

"Here is the plan. From today onward, we cannot have any contact with him, and that will last for at least a few months. He needs to be all by himself. I believe Alston will pay more attention to General Lance and me when he is in charge instead of the emperor. It's highly likely that he will send people to monitor our actions. If we come into contact with Basil, we will surely expose his identity. And that is why Basil needs to go around alone temporarily. He can do whatever he likes, or he can find himself a turtle shell to hide in. Anyway, as long as his identity is not exposed, everything will be fine," Marcia further explained. All her plans were made for the sake of his safety. It might be torture for Rocky, who was eager for revenge, but she believed that he would understand its necessity. He had to be patient and wait for the best timing.

"You mean I have to act like a turtle retracting its head into its shell?" Rocky asked with a bit of disdain. He knew that Marcia meant well, and it was actually a good idea. But that didn't mean that he liked it.

"It can be a good time for you. You can take this opportunity to improve your strength. With the way you are now, you are not yet capable of bringing down Alston. Even if you can handle him, you can't deal with all the powerful masters and the strongest warriors of the royal family. You have to at least reach the Divine Stage if you want to defeat Alston." Marcia was looking at the bigger picture. It may not be easy, but she believed that her plan would work out well.

"Well, it sounds like a good idea. It is not easy to do, but I suppose you're right. I, do, need some time alone." Rocky nodded approvingly. He shared Marcia's thoughts about their situation, so he was willing to cooperate. Initially, he had planned to cultivate in seclusion once he was back, and he didn't expect to contact anyone. He would refine the pill that the girl from the spiritual race gave him, which would improve his strength greatly. Rocky also agreed with Marcia that Alston was not the biggest threat to him. The masters that protected Alston were the real enemies that he needed to prepare for.

"That's it. Let's move. Isis, you have to wait for a few more months to be with him again. Can you do that?" Marcia asked, looking at Isis empathically. After all, the couple had just reconciled after being separated from so long, and under such excruciating circumstances. It was cruel to separate them so soon.

"Please don't say that, General Marcia. This is for his own good. I'm more than happy now that I know that he is alive. Besides, it will only be for a few more months. I can wait. Please don't worry about me," Isis replied sincerely with a heartfelt smile. She then snuggled up in Rocky's arms again.

"Lucilla, can you stay with Isis from now on? Please take good care of her for me," Rocky requested. He trusted her more than the others right now, so she was the only one he could entrust with Isis. She was powerful enough to deal with every possible situation.

"I will," Lucilla replied without any hesitation, nodding slightly.
