Valeria was more beautiful than the other women in the Flower Fief and she came from a strong background. Therefore, she was picky about the men she associated with. When she first met Rocky, she had sensed that he was a little different from ordinary men. But unfortunately, the conversation between Gilbert and Rocky had alerted her to the fact that Rocky was not willing to get engaged to her. He only agreed to do so because he was the Godly Genius. No wonder Gilbert was desperate to get them engaged because he wanted to make sure that Rocky would get engaged to Valeria, despite that he did not want to, so that the two fiefs would become allies.
"If he doesn't want to be engaged to me, that's cool! I hate this arrangement more than he does anyway! I'm like a diamond. He will never be good enough to deserve someone like me!" Wearing a proud look on her face, Valeria puffed out her chest. She firmly believed that she was suffering a loss because of their engagement. If it were not for the benefits that the Flower Fief and Flora were getting from it, she would have declined a long time ago.
"Whether you want it or not, the engagement is set. Don't be childish. For the next three days, you will stay put in the Fragrance Palace!" Elder Leticia was worried that Valeria might do something to mess with the engagement, so she grounded her.
Unable to resist, Valeria nodded. However, when she turned away, her lips curled unhappily.
By now, the news of the upcoming engagement between Rocky and Valeria had spread throughout the entire Shura Race, causing quite a stir in the other seven fiefs.
Although Godly Genius marriages that formed alliances between two fiefs were common, the one between the Ghost Fief and the Flower Fief made the other seven fiefs worried. Already, the strength of the Ghost Fief and the Flower Fief alone was not weak. Their combined strength would be unimaginable. In addition, the leaders of the two fiefs had close relationships with the royal family. After the two fiefs were connected by marriage, they would receive secret support from the royal family. The other seven fiefs felt threatened and panicked.
They couldn't shake the thought from their heads. If the two Godly Geniuses were a good match and managed to cultivate together, they could gang up on the other seven Godly Geniuses and make fights unfair.
Therefore, the other seven fiefs slowly became more worried. The problem was that they couldn't act against the engagement ceremony in front of everyone. They had to find a way to secretly obtain information.
So they sent their representatives to the Ghost Capital to participate in the engagement ceremony, mainly to know exactly what was going on.
Meanwhile, in the borders of the Genie Fief, a giant bird covered in white feathers flapped its wings and rose into the air, flying away from the main city.
Two young women were sitting comfortably on top of the giant bird. One was wearing tight, purple armor. She was heroic and tall. A unique, wild vibe that belonged solely to the women of the Shura Race shone from her radiant skin.
The other woman was dressed in an embroidered, red robe. Her complexion resembled a human's but her features were not as delicate. They were more charming and enchanting. Every move and smile she made was full of bewitchment. Most people couldn't look straight at her because of her powerful aura from the noble class.
"Lady, if the leader knew that we went to the Ghost Capital without asking his permission first, I'm afraid..." The woman in purple armor worried aloud.
The woman in the red robe was the new Godly Genius of the Genie Fief. She was also the daughter of the leader of the Genie Fief, Adrian Hu. Her name was Gloria Hu.
"I am just going to the Ghost Capital for travel purposes. There's nothing to be afraid of!" Betraying Gloria Hu's words, a playful smile flashed on her face, making her eyes bright.
"But we should at least inform him. You know that it's not appropriate for you to go. Your identity..." The woman in the purple armor spoke very cautiously, tiptoeing around her point.
"Purple, if you're so scared, you are free to turn around and go home. But I will not wait for you." Gloria Hu smiled. She was excited to do something reckless.
