The Medallion novel Chapter 1881

Vivian cast a glance at Rocky first before she answered Gilbert, "I'm going to explain it to you later."

Gilbert knew that Vivian should have a good reason, so he didn't need to pry further.

"By the way, have you and Princess Layla already met the king?" Valeria asked and looked at Rocky.

"Yes, we were able to talk to him," Rocky replied flatly.

"Then, what happened? Did the king confirm that the princess will be the next ruler?" Vivian asked in an expectant tone.

"Unfortunately, that is still hard to tell." Rocky could just shake his head and let out a bitter smile.

"Huh? What do you mean? I thought the king's task was to get Phillip's soul power? Princess Layla fulfilled that already and she was the first to come back. Why isn't it enough to make her the throne's successor?" Valeria's brows instantly furrowed, confused at the sudden turn of events.

"Well, it seems that the king did not expect that Princess Layla will be the one to accomplish the task. Obviously, he is biased toward the two princes. So, even if the princess completed the task, it is still uncertain who the king will choose," Rocky explained calmly.

"That's absurd. The king should have just appointed his successor if he will just take his word back. Did you mention to him that his brother colluded with the demonic race?" Vivian asked with hints of disappointment in her voice.

"Yes, we did. We told him what happened in the Demon Sealing Palace," Rocky replied and nodded.

"So, what did the king say?" At this point, both Vivian and Valeria were getting quite anxious. As they waited for Rocky's reply, they were thinking that their efforts in the Ghostly Demon Land might all be in vain.

"He said that he needed to talk with Prince Zain and Prince Enoch when they came back before he could make the decision. Of course, he would not believe us right away in case we were just making things up," Rocky answered with a sigh.

"We should have expected this. Obviously, the king wants to favor his family's side. I bet that if it was any other member of the royal family, he would have already charged that person with treason!" Valeria snorted coldly, thinking that the king was being unfair in his judgments.

"Well, it's meaningless to get upset right now. For now, we can just consider ourselves lucky that we are able to safely come back from the Ghostly Demon Land," Vivian said rationally to calm Valeria down.

"You are right." Valeria immediately recognized what Vivian was trying to do, so she eventually lowered her voice.

"Vivian is right. We can't do anything about it right now. Go back first and have a rest. We will deal with this matter when the right time comes." Gilbert then waved his hand and dismissed them.

Valeria and Vivian were the ones to leave first.

When the two girls were gone, Rocky asked, "Leader, it has been a few days since we came back. Is there any news from the royal family about the arrival of the two princes?"

"No, I haven't heard anything yet. Is there a possibility that they could not come back at all?" Gilbert asked with a frown.

"Well, that is not impossible. If Prince Enoch and his men managed to kill Prince Zain and his team, then that will be the case. There is also a possibility that they will be trapped in the Ghostly Demon Land for a very long time." Rocky knew that finding the hidden teleportation arrays without prior knowledge about them would be very difficult. Hence, he had also considered the possibility that they would be trapped in there.

"However, if Prince Zain and his men are really killed by Prince Enoch, I'm afraid that it will be more disadvantageous for us. They are the only other ones that can testify about what happened in the Demon Sealing Palace. If there isn't anyone to back up your claims, Prince Enoch will definitely frame you up. He might even put all the blame on you, saying that you are actually the one who colluded with the demonic race. Moreover, there is the fact that you have taken the Purgatorial Tripod." Gilbert was indeed an insightful man who had already experienced a lot of things in life. He had thought of the possible scenarios based on the fact that he knew.

"I also thought about those things. Therefore, we can just prepare ourselves and expect the worst. At that time, we have to quickly adapt to the situation. Of course, I am still hoping that it will not come to that," Rocky said in a serious tone. Obviously, he was already prepared for whatever came his way.

After his conversation with Gilbert, Rocky left, too.

The next few days were quite peaceful. However, for Rocky, the more peaceful it was, the more he could feel that a storm was coming.
