Everyone was in a state of shock. In fact, they couldn't believe that Rocky was bold enough that he dared to flirt with Shirley in public. He was so unbridled.
"Ha-ha, Your Royal Highness, it looked like you couldn't wait any longer to marry Shirley." Bryant just laughed out loud to help Rocky get out of the embarrassing situation.
"Shirley is very beautiful. Every man who has laid their eyes on her will love her very much. So I need to marry her as soon as possible." Rocky's disgusting tone drove Shirley who was beside him mad.
"All right, Shirley, please take His Royal Highness to visit our home now. You haven't been together before. Therefore, staying together would greatly help you form a closer relationship. Shirley, do you still remember what I told you yesterday?" all of a sudden, Bryant said to Shirley as he looked at her after he heard what Rocky had said.
"Yes. I know." Shirley nodded and glared at Rocky angrily. She then swiftly left by herself.
"Your Royal Highness, you can visit our home with Shirley if you'd like," Bryant said to Rocky.
Rocky began to suspect that she would punish him rather than show him around. He thought that maybe she had made preparations to kill him by using traps or hidden weapons. It was just Rocky's guess. No excuse could be found to turn down Bryant's offer. So he cupped one hand on the other before his chest and then went forward to follow Shirley.
After Rocky and Shirley had left the area, an elder of the Ximen Clan immediately said, "Bryant, it seems that Miss Shirley doesn't like Prince Basil very much. They might have trouble getting along with each other."
"Indeed, Shirley is a willful girl but I can assure you that she is very kind. His Royal Highness might look careless and casual but he is also a very wise man. He could easily dodge awkward situations in time and could pretend to be calm just like how he did earlier. He is really talented," Bryant said.
"Because of that, we are worried that Miss Shirley will be bullied by him."
"You don't have to worry. Shirley is much more powerful than His Royal Highness. How could she be bullied by someone weaker than her?" Bryant shook his head.
"But he was able to defeat a talent at the ninth grade of the Heavenly Stage from the Magic Phoenix Empire during the Dragon Birth Festival," another elder added.
"He fought with Mia at that time. The two of them defeated the talent together. He was fortunate to have someone on his side. Otherwise, he would have been unable to win." Bryant also knew that Rocky had defeated Erica, but he only considered him to be lucky.
"Since His Majesty had already decided it, we need to patiently wait for the wedding. After His Royal Highness becomes a member of our Ximen Clan, I will advise him to help us," Bryant said in an arrogant tone.
At that time, Rocky walked out of the hall as he followed Shirley. He saw that Shirley walked forward without any hesitation. She didn't stop until she got through the red-painted door. She turned her head and shouted at him, "What are you doing? Walk faster." After she had said those words, she turned around and continued to walk forward.
Rocky shrugged his shoulder and walked faster towards Shirley at once. He wanted to know what Shirley would do next and how she would punish him.
"What made you agree with His Majesty's decision? I thought you despised me," Rocky asked. In fact, he had already known that Shirley didn't have the chance to refuse it just like he didn't have the chance, either. Otherwise, Shirley would have never agreed to be married to him because she hated him very much.
"Do you really think I am willing to marry you? Frankly, I want to kill you instead." Shirley glared at Rocky coldly.
"Don't worry, I feel the same way as you do!" Rocky laughed out loudly.
Rocky was surprised to see an acquaintance after they had walked for a while.
