The moment Sabina saw Rocky's face, she could not help but tremble in a mix of emotions. She tried to hide it, but one could see her cold eyes suddenly melt. Her once dismal aura immediately became relieved, and her eyes started to well with tears.
Not long after Rocky came back to the Holy Dragon Empire, Sabina learned from Marcia that Rocky was still alive. However, Sabina had not had the chance to see him because, at that moment, he had gone to the Myriad Beasts Ground. With that being said, she had to wait for more than half a year, which was quite a lot of suffering for her.
Now that he was standing in front of her, her lips didn't know what to say. Her heart wanted to spew out a myriad of words, but nothing seemed to come out. But to her, nothing was more important than seeing him in the flesh, alive and breathing.
At that moment, she tried her best to contain her overflowing joy and excitement and managed to keep people from seeing it on her face. But actions spoke louder than words. All she could do was shed a joyful tear.
In fact, she even surprised herself with her own reaction. Hurriedly, she wiped the corner of her eye so that Rocky wouldn't see her in such state.
"Hey, what's wrong? I can't believe that you're so happy to see me that you even cried!" Rocky teased.
"Oh, don't flatter yourself. There's a bug in my eye! And, I am not that happy to see you," Sabina retorted, but obviously against what she was feeling.
"Oh, really?" Rocky said, pretending to be apologetic.
After regaining her composure, Sabina turned around and asked Rocky, "What suddenly brings you to the Ji Mansion? Didn't my master say that you'd better not show up before everything is ready?"
"But she asked me to come. In fact, she said that everything was ready. And besides, she asked me to help you, because your clan is going to be in very big trouble soon," Rocky said with a frown.
"Wait, trouble? What kind of trouble are we talking about?" Sabina asked right away.
"Didn't your sister return to the Ji Mansion a year ago? She hasn't returned to the Palace City yet, right?" Rocky inquired.
"Yes, you're right. She hasn't returned to the Palace City yet," Sabina replied.
"She is the empress, but she hasn't come back to the Palace City for over a year. Don't you think that something else is going on? According to General Marcia, the royal family members have some doubts about Alston recently, and they also made a fuss about your sister's matter. Knowing Alston, he would not let the matter go on like this. He will send people to pick up your sister tomorrow to dispel the doubts. Of course, what matters most is that if your sister is taken back to the Palace City, Alston may have control over the Ji Clan. Therefore, we can't let Alston's people take your sister back to the Palace City," Rocky said in a very serious tone.
"In that case, then I will do whatever it takes to not let her go back to the Palace City again." Sabina wouldn't just let her sister jump into the abyss of suffering, nor would she let Alston control the Ji Clan.
