Seeing all these people, Rocky greeted back and was later asked to sit beside Gilbert. Sitting next to the leader was a sign of special treatment. Hence, this gesture was enough to show Rocky's importance.
Then, Vivian sat down next to Rocky. Though they exchanged glances with each other, they did not really engage in any formal conversation. However, despite being very silent, Rocky noticed that Vivian let out a faint smile, something that could only happen rarely.
After a while, Gilbert turned to Rocky and talked with him.
"Odin, let me get this straight. Elder Leticia came to me earlier. She opened up the proposal of you and Miss Valeria getting married as soon as possible. What do you think?" Gilbert asked without further ado.
"Well, I don't see any problem. As long as Valeria also agrees, then we can proceed with it." Since this proposal actually came from Valeria herself, and the two of them had already agreed to it, Rocky also told Gilbert that he would go with it.
"Great! I'll announce this to the public later. Then, I'll personally start arranging things for the marriage ceremony as soon as possible." It was pretty evident that Gilbert was very delighted about this. After all, once the marriage was completed, the alliance between the Ghost Fief and the Flower Fief would become ironclad. Moreover, the relationship between the two fiefs would become more stable.
Rocky just nodded, entrusting these matters to Gilbert.
While the two were still conversing, Elder Leticia and Valeria also arrived in the hall.
At the sight of them, everyone from the Ghost Fief greeted and bowed towards them.
After Elder Leticia and Valeria had finally taken their seats, Gilbert stood up and addressed the crowd, saying, "Everyone, thank you for coming today. In addition to welcoming back the two remarkable Godly Geniuses, I also have another important announcement to make. I am glad to declare that these two will finally get married soon!"
Upon hearing this great news, everyone present quickly stood and extended their congratulations to the soon-to-be wedded couple. Of course, the people were joyous, knowing that once the marriage became official, the alliance would be greatly strengthened, and they would have an even better advantage in the battle among the Godly Geniuses.
Soon enough, the banquet was accompanied by singing and dancing. A group of performers took the center of the hall, dancing gracefully while waving their delicate hands.
At the same time, several people kept on coming to Rocky's side, giving him a toast. Since he was the center of the party, he had no choice but to entertain the guests.
However, after a while, Rocky began to feel bored already. He just wanted the party to end so that he could finally leave. But out of nowhere, he suddenly felt a faint killing intent from one of the dancers in the hall. Of course, he didn't show any expression on his face in case he was the one being targeted. Hence, he decided to stay behind, carefully observing the dancers at the center of the hall.
Then, a moment later, the dancers suddenly swarmed towards the guests, waving their sleeves. In a flash, Rocky clearly saw that a dagger flew out from one of them. It was not actually aimed at him but towards Gilbert.
However, at this time, Gilbert was still talking with Elder Leticia about the arrangements of the wedding ceremony, so he didn't notice it.
Seeing that the dagger would hit Gilbert, Rocky immediately threw the goblet in his hands towards the dagger.
Clang!
With a reverberating sound, the goblet managed to knock the dagger away.
Immediately after, the people realized what just happened and instantly became vigilant.
Seeing that the assassination failed, one of the dancers suddenly rushed out of the hall with lightning speed.
"Guards! Capture her!" Gilbert angrily ordered the first chance he got.
Vivian and several other Spiritual Emperors went outside in an attempt to catch the assassin.
"Thank you, Odin," Gilbert said with a sigh. He knew that if it wasn't for Rocky, he would have been hit by the dagger.
"Well, even if I didn't notice it right away, with your strength, you can successfully block it at the last second." Rocky was well aware that with Gilbert's ability, it would take more than a dagger to hurt him.
