Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 660

"Why didn't you visit me after you returned?" Marcia said to Lena. She looked at her as if they were sisters.

"That would be inconvenient. You're the one who requested to not let others know about our relationship. I am just trying to be cautious," Lena replied softly.

Marcia and Lena were two of the most prominent personalities of the Holy Dragon Empire. One was the symbol and the other was the backbone. What was unknown to people was how close the two really were. They once lived in the Dragon Master Clan for a while and had fostered close relations with each other.

Lena was only twelve or thirteen years old when she first met Marcia. The two girls had to part ways when Lena was sent back to the Holy Dragon Empire. A few years later, Marcia appeared there too and finally they were reunited. However, the two had to conceal their relationship and Marcia also asked Lena to keep her background a secret. They did not let people see just how close they really were, only meeting each other for a few times.

Thus, Lena was one of the few people who knew the true background of Marcia.

"Okay, I forgive you. I'm just afraid that this will be the same as last year. You left in such a hurry. I didn't even have time to say goodbye. But what's done is done. Let's not talk about it." Marcia wanted to say something else but decided to keep it to herself. She did not want to surface bad memories.

"Actually, I asked you to come here to discuss just that. Maybe it's time we talk about what happened last year," Lena said, blinking her beautiful eyes.

Marcia raised her eyebrows in apprehension. "Prince Basil went too far. What he did is unforgivable. I would understand if that makes you upset. After all..." Marcia sighed.

"Honestly," Lena said, "I don't blame him." She shook her head and seemed serious.

"What do you mean? What he did is horrible. You should at least feel upset," Marcia suggested.

"Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Besides, I know Basil. He must have had a good reason for doing something that reckless," Lena said nonchalantly.

"I can't believe you're letting it go so easily. His crime is unforgivable." Marcia looked angry.

"I just have one question. Did Basil really break into the Witch Palace that year?" Lena asked Marcia, finally getting to the point as to why she wanted to meet Marcia. She only trusted the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire and Marcia who had a chance of knowing the truth.

"You didn't know?" Marcia tilted her head.

"I didn't. I just learned about this from His Majesty quite recently." Lena shook her head.

"Basil nearly risked his life to see you," Marcia recalled.

"If only I knew about this, I would have gone out. Then perhaps Basil would be okay. It's all Alston's fault. He lied to me!" Lena said angrily.

"Lena, I've been wanting to ask you a question for a while now, even before you left last year." Marcia looked serious.

"What is it?" Lena asked.

"Do you recall what happened between you and Basil? Didn't you feel something was wrong at that time?" Marcia asked, careful not to trigger Lena with a sad memory.

"I rarely have any memory of what happened to me that time, including what happened between me and Basil." Lena forced herself to remember, but only a faint sadness in her heart occurred.

"It's alright if you've forgotten it," Marcia said to comfort Lena. Truth was that after the incident, Marcia went ahead and investigated the matter on her own. At first, she had clues and leads, but eventually they were all gone as if someone tried to hide evidence. Her suspicion was that Basil was framed.
