"You should go back with me first. I have to verify something, but it may take some time to prepare," Alyssa demanded, thinking that this was a good chance. Now that Rocky had shown his face again, the riddle of her curse was likely to be solved, and she would never give up this opportunity.
"Do I even have a choice?" Rocky protested. Although he didn't know what Alyssa was up to, it wasn't her style to be so nice to him, so he could not help but feel suspicious. She could be hiding something from him.
"No, you can't go anywhere else right now! Just follow me quietly. If I see that you have even the slightest intention of running away, I will break your legs," Alyssa warned him with a glare. "Of course, if you obey me, I won't make things difficult for you. I will even allow you to leave as soon as I figure out what I want to know. That way, you can go back to the Holy Dragon Empire if you want..." Alyssa's tone softened after she met Rocky's defiant gaze as if she was beseeching him to cooperate with her.
'She wants something from me, ' he guessed. 'Otherwise, she would not treat me so politely.'
"I'll take your silence as an agreement then," Alyssa continued with a glance at Rocky, who was thinking hard.
"I don't have the right to say no, do I?" Rocky's lips curled in a wry smile. He was lucky enough to be kept alive after he was seized by Alyssa. If she didn't want to kill him, he might as well obey her for the time being and wait to see what exactly she was up to. Besides, he still had work to do. He needed to meet with Woods to arrange his plan.
Alyssa only threw a heated glare in his direction but did not acknowledge his words. Just as she was about to make her spirit-manipulated beast fly towards her manor, which was located in the northern suburb of the capital, a burst of maniacal laughter surrounded them, echoing louder and louder with each second that passed by. It was followed by an aura of a powerful creature.
As soon as Alyssa sensed the powerful aura, a look of alarm flashed across her face. Rocky frowned as well.
Shortly after that, two figures raced after them from the southwest.
"They must be from the spiritual race," Rocky guessed, for as far as he knew, only the spiritual race could fly. However, they hardly appeared in front of humans, so he was confident that there was an important reason that had brought them here right now. But at the same time, he knew that it had nothing to do with him.
Rocky looked at Alyssa and found that she was looking quite grave.
"Damn it! These two fellows keep on pestering me all the time!" she cursed irritably, glancing at the two figures who were fast approaching. She looked down at the ground as if she suddenly had an idea, and she was met by the sight of a thick forest not far below them. Without hesitation, she made her spirit-manipulated beast dive towards it.
"Who are they? Are they coming for you?" Rocky asked curiously.
"You don't need to know that," she responded coldly.
However, Rocky could tell from her expression that those two were dangerous creatures who came to make trouble.
