The scene in front of Geoffrey gave him doubts. It was obvious that the relationship between Alyssa and Rocky was more complex than he had thought.
Even Alexander had grown nervous at the sight of Alyssa's abnormal performance.
"Your Royal Highness, who is the final winner in the competition between the Cao Clan and the Qi Clan? Please announce it now!" Samson urged. It didn't matter to him to know what Alyssa was actually thinking. The most important thing was to know the result.
"I will now declare the winner." As she spoke, Alyssa glanced at Alexander and Rocky.
"Your Royal Highness, it appears that you left something behind last night." Rocky extended his hand and held out a beautiful flower hairpin.
Seeing Rocky's interruption with such ambiguous words grabbed everyone's attention. The flower hairpin in his palm even looked very familiar.
Alyssa froze when she caught sight of the hairpin. Such an intricate pattern was unique to the whole Wild Spirit Land. Only she had such a pin, and anyone with discerning eyes could tell that it was hers.
"This guy..." She cursed him in her mind. There was no way Rocky would have done this without a reason. But she decided on a feeble attempt to protect her pride by saying quickly, "It's not mine."
"It isn't? Oh!" With that, he replaced the hairpin in his pocket with a raised brow. "Your Royal Highness, the final winner should be the Cao Clan, right?"
The onlookers were all shocked by Rocky's audacity as Alyssa had not announced the result. But his declaration proved how little he cared about Alyssa and all those present.
Then, something even more surprising happened.
"Yes, the final winner is the Cao Clan!" Having made her announcement, Alyssa stood up and glared at Rocky. She then turned away with everyone shooting glares in her direction.
"Sister, wait for me!" Woods stood up, exchanged a glance with Rocky, and then chased after her.
"Did I just mishear what she said? The princess declared the Cao Clan as the winner?"
"What's going on? Shouldn't the princess side with the Qi Clan?"
"Did she make a mistake?"
It was hard for anyone to believe the result. But they all knew it was final now that Alyssa had made her announcement. The Cao Clan had surprisingly won in the end. That meant they'd escaped the fate of being overtaken by Qi Clan and losing their title as the biggest clan.
As for the Qi Clan, all their former efforts were in vain it seemed.
Alexander's face was full of rage that he was almost mad with it. After all, he had devoted himself whole-heartedly to preparing for the Beast Master Contest only to be defeated by the Cao Clan. What's more, the honor of being the biggest clan that he had long been looking forward to was shattered before him.
