Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 736

"Sabina," Marcia called out. "Tell His Majesty everything that you know."

Sabina looked up at Marcia's impassive face, and then knelt on one knee. "Greetings, Your Majesty. I am Sabina Ji," she said respectfully.

"Sabina Ji? That sounds familiar..." the emperor murmured to himself.

"Your Majesty, she is the second daughter of the head of the Ji Clan, and also my niece," Allen told the emperor.

"Oh, I remember you now, Sabina. I heard that you left the Ji Clan all of a sudden a few years ago, and I haven't heard anything about you since then," the emperor remarked. At that time, Sabina deeply impressed him, because she was the only gifted spirit manipulator in the Holy Dragon Empire that was on par with Isis. However, he didn't know much about why she ran away from home.

"I took Sabina as my disciple several years ago, and she had been following me around all these years. Then, not long ago, she went to the Gehenna Border under my command. And after that, she followed Commander in Chief Rocky and had been with him all this time," Marcia explained shortly.

"So that's what happened." The emperor nodded to himself, satisfied with Marcia's explanation. But then he asked, "You just said that Rocky was dead. What happened? Why are there rumors of his betrayal if he is dead?"

"Your Majesty, here is the thing..." Thus, Sabina told the emperor the whole story, which included the fact that Alyssa had tortured Rocky and that he almost died in her hands just so they could live to see another day. After that, he pretended to betray them so that he could save them. She added that she saw Woods' and his bodyguards' dead bodies and that she also witnessed it when Rocky went to his doom right in front of her eyes.

When the people heard everything that Sabina had to say, the whole Grand Holy Hall fell silent. It shocked them because they had never expected that there was such a truth hidden behind the rumor.

And at that moment, almost everyone's impression of Rocky had also changed. Previously, the people believed that he was a traitor, but now they saw him as a hero, someone who had chosen to die for the safety of his men.

'Damn it! Why did it turn out like this?' Alston cursed inwardly, outraged by the mess that his plans had become. He never thought that Sabina would tell everyone the truth, and the worst thing was that everyone was believing her. Of course, what she was saying wasn't strictly the truth, but it was believable enough.

He had originally planned to use Rocky to kill Woods and then stir up a conflict between the Holy Dragon Empire and the Timber Deity Empire. His plan had seemed perfect in his eyes, but he didn't expect that Sabina would witness Rocky's death herself. At that point, everyone thought that Rocky had a huge fight with the prince of the Timber Deity Empire and his three bodyguards at the Heavenly Stage, and they all died. And Alston couldn't refute it either, because he could give himself away, and they could all find out that he had engineered everything.

So even though Alston hated that Rocky had somehow turned from being a hated traitor to a beloved hero, there was nothing he could do without incriminating himself.

'Rocky might've become a hero, but he is dead. That's what's important. I don't need to get angry, ' Alston comforted himself, but his rage and frustration revealed themselves in his trembling fists.
