"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 place, 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 recommend you inherit the position of the emperor. If everything goes according to plan, Alston will definitely lose." Marcia had already planned 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 plan is at stake here," Marcia clearly emphasized.
"I'm telling you as early as now that it will be difficult. We had a terrible relationship 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 plan.
"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 Clan, Alston will go to them in person. That would be a good opportunity for you to make your appearance," Marcia said as she briefly glanced 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 plan and preparing everything, Sabina suddenly showed up. She rushed back to the base camp of the Evian City from the Ji Clan 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 blamed herself. She had already planned 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 manipulators 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 manipulators 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.
