"Silver Wind was injured. Even Sheridan didn't know how to heal it. Sheridan advised me to go to Rocky," Marin explained.
"He also knows how to cure spirit-manipulated beasts?" Sabina asked in surprise.
"Yes. He is a disciple of Sheridan. When Verdanim was injured before, Sheridan told me it couldn't be cured. But Rocky was able to treat Verdanim into complete healing." Marin shared.
"Wait, you mean Sheridan?" Sabina pointed out. She shared a knowing look with Marin.
"Yes," Marin answered. Her lips formed a tight smile.
"You mean Rocky is a disciple of the most powerful beast tamer in the Holy Dragon Empire and the Wild Spirit Land," Sabina gasped. "That is impressive!" It turned out Rocky was more than just a simple commander. Sabina was in full shock. She had been hearing about Sheridan since her youth. Legend had it that he shared the same master with the priest of the Holy Dragon Empire. He was extremely powerful and he was well-known across the land. Then, for reasons unknown, Sheridan disappeared. It would have been great to have met Sheridan during his peak, and lucky to have met him after his seclusion. For Rocky to have him his guide, he must have felt a huge honor. Sabina felt a tinge of envy. Even if Sheridan had been under the radar for a while now, no one had surpassed his Beast Taming Skill and Beast Curing Skill.
"Sheridan has passed on all of the Beat Taming Skill and the Beast Curing Skill to Rocky. Rocky had learned all of that excellently already," Marin added.
Sabina stiffened. "Marin, did Isis say anything after she woke up?"
"She admitted to knowing what happened between her and Rocky. But she held no resentment. She talked about Rocky really calmly. It was strange." Marin was confused. Isis never liked Rocky, perhaps much more now that he took her virginity like that. It was odd for her to spare him.
"Really? Then she also confirmed that Rocky really did that to her," Sabina said coldly.
"She claimed that Rocky only did it to save her. She would have been dead if he didn't comfort her desire," explained Marin. Marin's heart ached for Isis. She trusted Isis' judgment and would like to think that her cousin knew what she was doing. The important thing was that Isis was safe.
"Then what about the Commander in Chief? Does he know that he accused Rocky wrongly?" Sabina inquired further.
"Uncle recognized his lapse in judgment. But it would be useless to entertain regrets now. He's just worried that Rocky might refuse to try to cure Silver Wind because of this." Marin was worried.
"Let's see for ourselves. If he refuses, then we will beat him until he saves Silver Wind." Sabina decided. For her, nothing couldn't be solved by force.
Marin was taken aback by her conviction. She forced a smile and followed Sabina to the beast farm.
Isis arrived at the beast farm and the sight of Rocky forced her to a halt. Suddenly, waves of memories flooded her mind and body. Her skin remembered what his touch felt like. Images from that day they spent together kept flashing in her mind. It took much effort for her to restrain her desire.
Her brain went blank. Suddenly, she couldn't remember what she went there for. Before she could say something, Rocky already felt her presence. He looked up and saw the hesitant face of Isis. He did not think she would still want to see him after what happened.
'Maybe she's here to seek revenge. Maybe she wants to kill me, ' Rocky thought. Something strange rose inside Rocky as soon as he laid eyes on Isis. But he ignored it and walked towards Isis.
When Isis realized what she was seeing, she felt embarrassed. She too had the urge to run away. She realized she wasn't ready to face Rocky but it wasn't because of fear or anger. She wasn't ready because memories of their shared passion were too fresh in her mind.
"What brought our Deputy Commander in Chief here?" Rocky approached Isis with a smile on his face. His tone of voice suggested nothing special.
Isis felt relieved. She allowed herself to loosen up. "Have you been avoiding me? Rocky? Do you feel guilty?"
