Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 1962

At this moment, Vivian had no idea what to say to her brother. Of course, she didn't want to see Rocky in a dilemma. Nonetheless, she still looked forward to his answer more than she could admit. After all, if she really wanted to find a man to get married, there was no doubt that Rocky would be the best choice.

Rocky's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew for a fact that the reason why Gilbert was so anxious to pair him up with Vivian was the same reason for his marriage with Valeria—to make sure that his loyalty to the Ghost Fief would remain. On top of that, Vivian actually liked him. If he refused, Gilbert would naturally feel apprehensive about him. If he agreed, however, he thought this marriage would only be unfair to Vivian since he didn't love her. Ultimately, since the current situation presented that Gilbert was his greatest help, Rocky couldn't let him harbor any reservations about him. Otherwise, it would compromise his future plans.

"Well, if Vivian is willing to marry me, then there won't be a problem on my end. I'll persuade Valeria to accept this. But, you'll have to talk to Leader Flora about this yourself, Leader Gilbert," Rocky remarked. He still decided to leave the choice to Vivian.

"You heard Odin, my dear sister. When this battle is over, we'll go back to the Ghost Fief. Let me help you pick a day for your wedding!" Gilbert exclaimed right away as he made the decision for Vivian.

"Brother!" Vivian didn't know how else to respond. She seldom called Gilbert as such, but whenever she did, it meant that she was having complicated feelings. Since nothing forcibly done would be agreeable, she wanted to express her objection to this marriage. But the moment she saw Rocky shaking his head at her, she acquiesced. After all, she knew that he must have had other considerations.

When Gilbert seemed satisfied enough, Rocky and Vivian quietly left the tent with their own thoughts.

"Hey. Why did you agree to this?" Vivian complained softly as soon as they were far enough from the tent.

"Your brother is very persistent. If I didn't say yes now, he'd still keep on urging me until I did. Besides, you should know that he's doing this all for you. He's just trying to pair us up because his real intention is to have me help you in the future, when you inherit the Ghost Fief. I know that he's treated you as the heir since childhood, so he's just making sure that your position as the leader will be well fortified through this marriage. After all, I'm far more reliable than others." Rocky calmly explained his analysis of the situation.

"Do you ever realize how narcissistic you can be? But you're right. Sooner or later, my brother will ask me to marry someone who can help me in the future. Compared with others, I guess you'll do all right," Vivian replied. Of course, she knew what her brother was thinking.

"I know. So, please make do with me." Rocky let out a faint yet charming smile.

"What about Valeria, though?" Vivian was still worried that Valeria wouldn't accept this idea.

"Well, we're just a nominal couple. I'm sure she'll understand if I explain it clearly," Rocky assured. He thought he shouldn't have trouble persuading Valeria.

"You know she really loves you, right?" Vivian shot back with her eyes narrowed.

"Of course I know. I just think it's a pity that I'm not lucky enough to accept it. I also feel guilty at times that I'm not a good husband," Rocky expressed honestly.

Vivian pursed her lips and didn't say anything more. Knowing that Rocky had too many secrets and responsibilities, she couldn't simply force him to do anything. However, she believed that she would have less trouble in the future if she could marry him. Along with that, she found it almost impossible for her to fall in love with another man. Therefore, it wouldn't be a bad thing if they got married.

After their deep conversation, they went back to their own tents.

Meanwhile, thanks to Rocky's plan, Enoch felt fairly confident. During the next few days, he began to lure the royal army led by Zain to approach the fortress little by little. At the same time, he also planned to burn the Red River Valley. He asked the fifty thousand soldiers of the Wind Plain to detour through the plain and block the entrance of the valley.
