The Medallion novel Chapter 4

Rocky thought that he would definitely die if he was hit by this strange drill. However, he couldn't control his body as he had just been thrown to a wall. He could barely move his feet, let along dodge this attack. Rocky could only watch the light coming straight at him, completely unable to move a finger to stop it.

The light was coming in fast yet to Rocky it felt like a lifetime. He closed his eyes in despair, ready to embrace his death.

At that very instant, a golden light shot from the side and expanded in front of Rocky like a firework. It then turned into a light shield that deflected the fast-coming spiraling vortex attack.

Boom! The spiraling vortex hit somewhere nearby Rocky after being deflected and blew a giant hole in the solid stone wall, sending debris flying everywhere.

"Holy shit! If I had been hit by that, there would not be much left of me!" Rocky muttered to himself in shock. He then turned to where the golden light had come from and saw Lena walking briskly towards him, looking furious. It appeared that she was the one that just saved his life.

The rider also saw Lena and grew stern. Trying to remain calm, she reported, "Your Royal Highness, I saw this man sneaking around the palace, so I made my move to stop him. I apologize for any disturbance caused."

"Is that so? Basil has only been sick for a few days yet you do not recognize him now? Your blindness appalls me, Shirley. Perhaps you are unfit for duty," Lena smiled coldly before turning to look at Rocky with care and concern.

"No wonder! I thought he looked familiar. He is Prince Basil!" The rider did his best to look surprised, but it was obviously an act.

"Shirley? Is she really a woman? Compared to you, she looks like a boy! You're about the same age! How can you two be so different?" Rocky exclaimed with astonishment, which stunned everyone.

"You... What did you say?" Shirley Ximen gritted her teeth, shooting Rocky a stern look as if she intended to cut him to pieces.

"Basil......" Lena looked at Rocky, rather displeased. This was the first time she heard anything like it about Shirley. True as it was, it was still a hurtful and ignorant thing to say, especially to someone's face.

Even the maids behind Lena couldn't help laughing.

"What? I am telling the truth. Looking half and half is a tragedy for a man like Shirley," Rock said with a straight face.

Shirley was about to explode with rage. She felt so deeply humiliated that she wanted to chop up Rocky. Yet given the presence of Lena, she had to contain her anger and instead stared at him with pure hatred. "Basil, mark my word. You will pay for it someday." She then jumped onto the flying creature and took off.

"Now you know who you are messing with!" Rocky grinned with much satisfaction watching Shirley left in embarrassment.

But his ear suddenly hurt, as if someone were pinching it forcefully. He turned and saw Lena staring disdainfully at him. "Basil! Since when did you start to talk so disrespectfully? How ignorant of you! There's no justification for what you just said. Insulting someone's appearance is a mark of poor character. She is still a girl. You really broke her heart by saying that!"
