The two walked along a long corridor silently after they went out of Lance's study. Suddenly, Isis finally broke the silence as she couldn't help but look up at Rocky and asked, "Don't you want to go back to the Imperial City?"
Rocky agreed with a solemn nod.
"Well, I don't think it's not a good idea to go back to the Imperial City. You already have so many contributions to the Crimson Dragon Group. Additionally, you are the Crimson Dragon Envoy. After you return to the Imperial City, the emperor will definitely give you the title of some official. If you want to form your own force, it's easy for you to realize that after you go back to the Imperial City." Although Isis was not interested in such political affairs, she was still aware that compared with Crimson Dragon Group, it was easier to cultivate one's own power in the Imperial City.
"Isis, it's not that easy. With my present identity, I still can't go back to the city. We need to wait a bit more. The timing isn't ripe..." Rocky said hesitantly as a conflicted expression painted his face.
"You look anxious. What are you worried about?" Isis asked in a concerned tone.
"I'm okay. I'll just talk to the Commander in Chief about it later." Rocky immediately avoided Isis' question.
When she realized that Rocky didn't want to tell her, Isis didn't force the issue. However, she still hesitated for a while before she continued, "I have something to talk about with you."
"Hmm... What is it?" Rocky asked seriously.
"You heard what my father said just now. He wants us to go back to the Imperial City. If you don't want to go back, it's fine. But you should at least give my parents something to comfort them." Isis gave Rocky a rather vague hint.
"If you have something to say, don't mince words. Just say it," Rocky pointed out. He already knew that Isis had a hidden meaning in her words.
"Well, I want... I want a child... I want to be pregnant with our child!" Isis awkwardly said after her cheeks became red due to shyness.
"Wait, what?!" When he heard her suggestion, Rocky was stunned and wondered if he just misheard Isis.
"I don't want you to take responsibility for me. I just want my father and my mother to be reassured. After all, if we continue to be in such a relationship for a long time, my father will surely be suspicious of us. However, if we have a child, their worries would surely be eased," Isis explained immediately as her face grew even redder. Even if she was the Deputy Commander in Chief of the Crimson Dragon Army, she was still at a loss under the current situation.
"Are you asking that you want to have a baby with me?" A surprised expression painted Rocky's face as he never thought that Isis would initiate a conversation about such a sensitive topic.
As she bit her pink lips, Isis shyly nodded and looked at Rocky. Although she was a little embarrassed to say such a thing given her identity, she had thought about it for a long time and finally made a decision.
"Well..." For a moment, Rocky didn't even know how to reply. Such matters had never entered his mind before.
"I understand that you must feel embarrassed. We didn't make such an agreement before after all. However, after careful consideration, I thought that if we get separated someday, I still want someone to accompany me." Isis' eyes trembled as she looked at Rocky, waiting for his response. Until that moment, she continued to hide her feelings for Rocky because she didn't want him to be emotionally burdened. Additionally, she felt that he would leave her sooner or later. So, the only thing she could do was to have a baby with him as a symbol of her secret love for him after he left. Of course, even if Rocky left, she would still live as his wife forever. Her love would remain faithful even if she was left behind.
"Actually, if everything goes well, I won't leave you." Rocky reassured her in a warm tone.
