The Medallion novel Chapter 1687

"Then, beautiful ladies, please follow me. I will take you there right now," Rocky said flatteringly, still pretending to be bewitched by Gloria's beauty.

"Thank you. What a sweet guy you are," Gloria praised. She seemed to be rather satisfied with the attitude that Rocky was showing.

"Of course, it is my honor to be of use to you," Rocky quickly replied.

On the other hand, Purple could just shake her head as she felt a little disgusted. However, Gloria just giggled and seemed to enjoy that people were fawning over her.

After that, Rocky took Gloria and Purple to the square where the engagement ceremony was about to be held.

At this moment, there was only an hour left before the appointed time of the ceremony. Hence, Gilbert and the elders of the Ghost Fief had already taken their seats on the high platform. At the same time, the invited guests and other ministers of the Ghost Fief also joined on the platform. Around the square, the members of Gilbert's mansion were also scattered, making the place very crowded with people.

Soon enough, Valeria appeared on the square, together with Elder Leticia and the maids. She slowly walked down the red carpet with her face covered with a veil. Although people could not really see her entire face, she instantly became the center of attention.

After a moment, Valeria and Elder Leticia reached the high platform and bowed to Gilbert and the elders of the Ghost Fief.

"I am glad that you're already here. Our Godly Genius will be here soon, so please take a seat for now. As soon as he arrives, we shall proceed with the ceremony," Gilbert remarked with a smile.

As he guided them into their seats, Gilbert sat beside the two ladies.

After quite a while, Gilbert had begun to feel impatient. The joss stick in the copper censer had almost burnt out, but Rocky hadn't shown up yet. Thus, he finally ordered his men to go to the Ghost Palace to check what was holding Rocky up.

But not long after, one of his men came back and informed that Rocky was no longer in the Ghost Palace, and it seemed that he had left the palace for a while now.

Since the guests were already there, Gilbert deemed that it would be suspicious if he sent too many people to search for Rocky. Hence, he could only wait patiently until Rocky showed up.

However, the appointed time was almost up, and Rocky was still nowhere to be seen. At this point, the people already began to discuss among themselves.

"Where is that guy? Valeria is already here!"

"Shouldn't he be here before the lady? This is absurd. Is he planning to show up right at the last moment?"

"Or maybe he suddenly changed his mind and wanted to back out from the engagement? He might have thought that he was not a match for her. If that is the case, then we still have the chance to win Valeria's heart!"

Right now, all kinds of speculations were spreading around due to Rocky's absence.

At the same time, Elder Leticia also started to feel uneasy. She was worried that Rocky would suddenly go back on his word. If that happened, the Flower Fief would surely suffer such a disgrace.

However, it seemed that Valeria had a different impression. In fact, she was actually hoping that Rocky would not show up at all. That way, she could also be free from this engagement.

As the uproar was starting to get out of hand, a figure suddenly appeared on the red carpet at the end of the square. Every eye turned in the direction of the figure and recognized that it was none other Rocky.

However, they did not expect that on such a happy and special occasion, Rocky was still dressed slovenly. Of course, this left an impression that he was being disrespectful to the Godly Genius of the Flower Fief.
