"Did you take a long trip to come over here, just to say in front of Basil's mourning hall that you lost to him?" Of course, Marcia wouldn't believe a word out of Alyssa's mouth. If it weren't for her, Basil wouldn't have died. After all, it was all because of her that Basil risked his life to help the Crimson Dragon Army.
"I don't know... I just..." In fact, even Alyssa didn't know the reason why she came. When she learned that Rocky was Prince Basil, she suddenly felt upset as if she became an entirely different person. An anxiety rose in her to confirm if Basil really was dead.
"If it weren't for the Timber Deity Empire, Basil wouldn't be dead! You came here just to check if he really is dead, because if he's still alive, you can personally avenge your brother, right?" Marcia angrily spat out and her spiritual power rose higher and higher. Pure anger sharpened her gaze at Alyssa.
"Revenge?" A smothered giggle left Alyssa's lips before she caved in and burst into a fit of laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Marcia asked coldly.
"My brother's not dead. There's no need for me to take revenge." Alyssa shrugged.
"Not dead? My disciple... she... she witnessed his death with her own eyes..." Marcia's eyes widened when she heard Alyssa's words.
"It seems that you think that in order to keep a good reputation, Basil chose to perish with my brother instead of betraying the Holy Dragon Empire and paying allegiance to the Timber Deity Empire. I did guess that that's what you thought..." Alyssa said indifferently. It was within her expectations before she even arrived that the Holy Dragon Empire thought that Basil died along with her brother.
"Isn't it true...?" Marcia couldn't help but ask. Alyssa's calm was unfeigned, which implied that her brother really might not be dead yet.
"Although I really don't know much about what happened, my brother really is still alive. Basil saved him. My brother said that on the way back to the Timber Deity Empire, they were ambushed by a group of powerful mercenaries. They tried to escape but were caught. Moreover, they seemed to have taken advantage of Basil's weakness..." Alyssa briefly explained.
"So you're saying that Basil didn't die with your brother during the battle, but was killed by others? But how did Basil save your brother? Why did he save him?" Marcia's brows furrowed when she heard Alyssa's words. Even though she didn't really believe her, what she said was actually in line with what she had long suspected. From what she knew of Basil's character, he wouldn't be so stupid as to choose to battle the Timber Deity Empire's prince to death. Moreover, with Basil's strength, even three masters at the Heavenly Stage wouldn't be able to force him enough to do such a reckless thing.
"Although I don't know why he saved my brother, my brother said that the one who hired the mercenaries intended to sway Basil into killing my brother and frame him. But that person never expected that Basil would get my brother to fake his death," Alyssa sneered. It sounded absurd because it was obvious that Basil and Alyssa's brother were enemies and yet, Basil saved his enemy's life under the nose of mercenaries. It was obviously unbelievable.
"I'm still not sure whether that's true or not. Perhaps your Timber Deity Empire is afraid that our Holy Dragon Empire will seriously take action, and makes up this lie." Lena snorted from behind Marcia.
