Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 1879

"Your Majesty, may Odin and I speak with you alone? We have some important matters to report to you," Layla suddenly said, wearing a serious expression on her face.

The king's eyes narrowed. Then, he waved his hand, gesturing to the elders, ministers, and guards to leave the hall as soon as possible.

Shortly after, only the king, Layla, and Rocky were left.

"What is it about?" the king asked directly.

"When we entered the Ghostly Demon Land this time, we encountered a member of the demonic race from the Holy-Evil World. However, she possessed a body of a member of the Shura Race, so she could enter the land without being noticed," Layla informed without further ado. Even in the Shura Race, the existence of the Holy-Evil World was only known among the members of the royal family. This was also the main reason why Layla requested to speak alone with the king. This matter was very confidential that even the ministers and elders could not know about it.

"What?! A member of the demonic race? Are you certain about this?" the king asked with his eyes wide open. In fact, a goddess from the Holy-Evil World was the one who arranged the trip to the Ghostly Demon Land. Hence, if a member of the demonic race was able to sneak in, then it really was a huge matter.

"Yes, Your Majesty. We are very certain. After all, the woman from the demonic race was colluding with Prince Enoch, and they had set up an ambush in the Demon Sealing Palace. Their purpose was to release Phillip's soul, so they tried to annihilate both my team and Zain's team," Layla uttered with hints of anger in her tone.

"Enoch? I can't believe this! He dared to break the rules of the royal family just to attain power!" The king's face immediately darkened in exasperation. Back then, the royal family had already fallen victim to the schemes of the demonic race, which led to the sad fate of the Shura Race. As a result, they were still experiencing the consequences from before. After that grim incident, it became taboo for the royal family to have any connections with the demonic race. Now that Enoch's collusion with the demonic race was exposed, it was a clear sign of rebellion against the Shura Race.

"This is the reason why Odin and I tried to come back as soon as possible. We know that this matter is not trivial, and it could lead to severe repercussions if nothing was done immediately. We reported this to you as soon as we can so that you can take necessary measures just in case something unexpected happens." Of course, Layla did not directly say that Enoch would try to rebel against the royal family, but the king could already guess what she was implying.

"So, he is planning to rebel and forcefully take over the Shura Race? I cannot believe this! What the hell is he thinking?" The king could just grit his teeth in disdain.

"I don't know what he will do next, but I do think that we should be prepared for what may happen." Enoch was still a member of the royal family, so Layla would not blatantly speak against him.

"All right. I will deal with this matter myself. You don't have to worry." the king replied resolutely.

"Then, who will become the next leader of the royal family?" Layla finally had the opportunity to ask about this other issue.

"I want to make the decision when Zain and the others come back. Go back now and have a rest." Then, the king waved his hand and signaled Layla and Rocky that they could leave.

Before leaving, Layla and Rocky exchanged glances. Originally, they also wanted to bring up that Rocky had already obtained the Purgatorial Tripod itself. However, after hearing what the king said, both of them felt that it was not the time to reveal it. It seemed that the king had other plans. Thus, if they told him about the Purgatorial Tripod, things might become even more complicated. For now, they decided to leave and come up with some countermeasures.

After that, Rocky and Layla eventually left the hall.

As they were walking out of the palace, Layla still wore a serious face as if she was in deep thought.

"It seems that you are pretty disappointed with what happened back there." Rocky could easily guess what was on the mind of the princess. According to the rules that the king had set, since they were the first who came back with Phillip's power, he should have already declared that Layla would be the throne's successor. However, the king said that he wanted to wait for the other candidates to come back before he made his decision. Therefore, it just meant that he actually wanted either Zain or Enoch to be the successor. But with Enoch's collusion with the demonic race, Zain was the only other option.

"Well, maybe I am a bit disappointed, but it is also within my expectations. I have already thought that the king would not want to give up the throne to me," Layla said with a firm attitude.

"I can guess why he will hesitate to give the throne to you. Zain is his son, and Enoch is his brother. On the other hand, you are the daughter of the former queen. Naturally, he will want his blood relatives to be his successor. But now that Enoch should be out of the picture, he must be thinking of passing the throne to Zain," Rocky said. He was not surprised at all.
