Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 624

"So, when did you two... fall for each other?" Marin asked in confusion, as she bit her pink lips. She had never expected Isis and Rocky to marry so soon. It hurt that she was kept in the dark, but the fact that she and her cousin fell in love with the same man made it even more painful.

"We..." Not knowing how to react to Marin's flustered face, Isis turned to Rocky hoping for an answer.

"Never mind. Don't tell me. Congratulations! I wish you... a happy life... together," Marin awkwardly congratulated before shaking her head. She began to sob as she turned away and left.

"Marin..." Isis called out to her. She knew something was off.

"Go. She needs you, Isis," Rocky told her.

Isis immediately chased after Marin.

"Now, we must prepare for the upcoming battle against the Timber Deity Empire." Rocky narrowed his eyes. No more regrets. No more wasted time. More focus and attention on the battle plan. Once they were married, Lance hoped to appoint Rocky as the new leader of the Crimson Dragon Army against the Timber Deity Empire. Rocky was fully aware of Alyssa's mighty power along with her powerful Timber Deity Empire soldiers. She wouldn't be easy to defeat. Although he had managed to lead a few strategies against her, he had yet to confront her face-to-face. Alyssa had placed the Crimson Dragon Army in extreme danger multiple times in the past. This further proved her extraordinary intellect and might on the battlefield. Thus, Rocky and the Crimson Dragon Army needed to prepare thoroughly if they wanted any chance of defeating her.

After Isis caught up with Marin, she found her sobbing like a hurt child. Immediately, Marin threw herself into her cousin's arms and sobbed harder.

"Marin, what's wrong?" Isis asked, worried and confused. She had not seen her cousin cry like that in so long. Marin's normal reaction to hearing her cousin was getting married would be pure joy. So it was strange for Isis to see her cousin overcome with tears and gloom—almost as if she was heartbroken.

"Isis, do you truly like Rocky? Or is there another reason why you agreed to marry him?" Marin asked, tears streaming down her face like tiny rivers.

"I..." Isis was at a loss for words. She sensed that Marin was trying to desperately hide something. Taking the risk, she asked, "Marin, do you like Rocky?"

Marin remained silent and bit her lips.

Isis was stunned. She never expected Marin to like Rocky. There were never any clues or past discoveries that pointed to the possibility.

"Isis, I'll be fine. Don't worry about me." Marin took a deep breath to try to regain her composure.

"Silly girl. Why didn't you tell me sooner? If you had, I might've..." Isis failed to finish her sentence. Now she knew that pushing through with the marriage would hurt Marin.
