As soon as Rocky heard Isis mention Sue, he trembled in anger. He then spoke in a rather gloomy tone, "Sue is dead, and I killed her indirectly."
"What? Dead? Why?" Isis was immediately dumbfounded upon hearing such sad news. At that moment, her eyes were starting to well up with tears.
"It's...It's because of Alston..." Rocky's eyes suddenly became cold and furious after mentioning Alston's name.
"Alston? What does he have anything to do with this?" Isis frowned. Although she didn't know what exactly was going on, she knew it must be related to Rocky's "death".
"Follow me to the next room. You have to know about this. I have something else to explain to you." Soon after, Rocky held Isis in his arms and proceeded to go to the next room.
Upon entering the room, Isis saw that there was another person in the room aside from her father and Marcia. Beautiful and elegant, this other woman had an aura at the Supernal Stage, meaning she was not an ordinary person.
"Basil, do you know who she is?" Isis shifted her gaze to Rocky and asked.
"Well, you must be Isis. I'm Lucilla. Nice to finally meet you!" At that moment, Lucilla appeared to be, as always, well-mannered. On the way, she had heard about Isis, so she had already been mentally prepared for their meeting.
"Likewise. Nice to meet you too." Isis greeted back upon noticing that Lucilla was older than her.
Then, Rocky briefly narrated his experiences in the Timber Deity Empire to Lance and Isis. Of course, he could not miss the chance to tell them about Lucilla's identity and the reason why she was here.
"I didn't expect that the chief of the most powerful clan in the Timber Deity Empire would give up the position of the chief to protect Prince Basil. I really admire your courage!" Lance could not help but exclaim his respect. Although he could see that Lucilla gave up the position of the chief because of Rocky, he sincerely admired her determination and courage for doing it. After all, it was not easy for an extraordinary and influential person in the Timber Deity Empire to give up everything so suddenly and even decide to leave her hometown.
"Well, if you don't mind, I hope we can call and treat each other like sisters and stay with Basil from now on," Isis said to Lucilla nobly. In fact, Lucilla had done so much for Rocky, that Isis didn't find the need to say anything. At that moment, her heart was filled with nothing but gratitude that she was willing to share Rocky with her.
"Sister, are you not bothered by my love for Rocky... No. I mean, Prince Basil? In fact, when I see you, I come to understand why Prince Basil won't easily fall in love with other women," Lucilla remarked. In fact, she felt a little embarrassed. After all, Rocky already had a wife, and his wife was a gorgeous woman who seemed not inferior to her. Therefore, seeing Isis today made her feel uneasy. At that moment, she felt like a home-wrecker. That was why Isis' acceptance shocked her.
"You are not the first one to love him, and I'm sure you won't be the last one. None of this is your fault. In fact, it's his. So, no. I won't mind. I knew long ago that he wouldn't belong to me alone. Now, if you know this by heart, then we won't have any more problems," Isis said straightforwardly.
