Alyssa cast a cold glance at Rocky as if to say, "If you dare to say that again, I will kill you and let beasts and vultures feast on your corpse."
However, Rocky just smiled calmly and continued, "The Cao Clan is of great use to me and also to Prince Woods. Naturally, we can't let the Cao Clan fall into the hands of Prince Geoffrey. You must think the same way, right?"
"But there is no need for you to stand out. Have you forgotten who you are?" Although Alyssa knew that Rocky was right, she wasn't pleased about it, as it caused him to stand out and made things more troublesome and complicated.
"I didn't mean to stand out, you know. But everything happened so quickly that I had to act fast too. As they say, desperate times call for desperate measures," Rocky said helplessly. Of course, he didn't do those things just to complicate matters. If he could, he would have avoided getting people's attention, but he would rather expose himself rather than let someone be ganged up on and pushed to a corner.
"I did not expect that Prince Geoffrey will do something like this just to deal with the Cao Clan. His move is risky and quite unexpected. If you hadn't tried to gain more time in a hurry, I'm afraid he would have succeeded. In that case, if he lost the support of the Cao Clan, my brother would fall into a passive position. However, because things turned out this way, I would not be surprised if you will also be targeted by Prince Geoffrey and the Qi Clan. They might have planned to win you over before, but now, they probably want to destroy you, if not kill you outright," Alyssa analyzed.
"I had no choice. If that's the case, I can go back to the Holy Dragon Empire ahead of time," Rocky said as he shrugged indifferently.
"No way! After all, Chief Lucilla has agreed to be your wife. You are the handsome son-in-law of the Cao Clan now. If you suddenly disappear, it will inevitably cause more trouble." Alyssa shook her head.
"Do you really want me to marry Lucilla?" Hearing what Alyssa said, Rocky had a bad feeling.
"Nonsense. If you don't marry Lucilla, the others will surely ask questions that you won't be able to answer. Besides, you made your bed, so you should be the one to lie on it. After all, you are the one who created this mess. Don't tell me you won't do the honorable thing and marry her?" Alyssa asked with a wicked grin on her face.
"Then I will definitely break off the marriage," Rocky said bluntly.
