The Medallion novel Chapter 1038

"Judging by your look, Alyssa must have told you the same thing, right?" Marcia asked when she saw the strange expression on Rocky's face. She gently smiled as if telling him that she exactly knew what was going on in his mind.

"Wait, do you mean..." The words just slipped right out of his tongue. It struck him that the two women had so much in common. He had to admit that he was surprised to hear it from Marcia, and that it was written all over his face.

"Well, it seems that my guess is right. Now I understand why Alyssa let you live after you were captured and treated you as distinguished guest when you were in the Timber Deity Empire. It's because you are the only person in the world who can help her remove the curse, the curse preventing her from being a real spiritual race." The way Alyssa behaved around Rocky was not like the cruel and proud princess that Marcia knew so well. Marcia guessed why Alyssa was acting so weird when she learned how Rocky was received in the Timber Deity Empire.

"But I don't understand. Why are you also looking for me?" Rocky asked. He couldn't be the one Marcia was looking for, even if he was indeed the one Alyssa needed.

"That's an easy question to answer. Since you can remove her curse, then you can do the same to my curse. Because although it involves different spiritual race bloodlines, her curse and mine are the same kind to a certain extent. We are both products of the human and spiritual race. Our curse is the same. However, I don't think she has told you how to remove the curse," Marcia said as she eyed Rocky with a skeptical look.

"She didn't tell me. But I don't think she actually knows how. But you know it, right? Is that what you're telling me?" Rocky understood the meaning behind Marcia's words immediately.

"How could she not know if I already knew? How naive of you to think that way. I'm afraid she doesn't want to tell the truth because you can only remove her curse when the two of you truly love each other and your minds genuinely blend as one. She knows that you two can't have that kind of relationship, so she didn't tell you." Marcia told him the only way to remove the curse.

Rocky then realized why Alyssa asked him to give up the throne after defeating Alston. It turned out that Alyssa must have hoped that they could have a closer relationship in future and maybe they could fall in love with each other. If he was the emperor, it was undoubtedly impossible for the two of them to be together. Even if it was possible, it would be a forbidden relationship, which would inevitably lead to unimaginable consequences.

"So, you don't have to be grateful for everything she has done for you. She didn't do it for you at all. She did it because she knows you are her only hope. Of course, she cares about you to a certain extent. If it weren't for her, you would have fallen into a troublesome situation indeed if you returned to the Holy Dragon Empire alone, because you wouldn't be a match for Alston when you're totally unprepared," Marcia said straightforwardly. Although she didn't like Alyssa because she knew what Alyssa was up to, her impression of Alyssa had changed a little after what she had done this time. However, there was no doubt that Alyssa would always be a strong opponent for her.

"But how can I remove the curse? Both of your curses in that matter! If anything, it sounds to me that I am more like a key," Rocky asked again. He was having a hard time trying to figure out the whole situation.

"Well, it's not a coincidence of course. I'm guessing you are somewhat different from ordinary people. I'm afraid that you're the only person that can make that crystal clear," Marcia answered. She didn't know either why Rocky was the only one who could break the curse.
