Everyone in the Grand Holy Hall was surprised by what Rocky had said. They all then contested for a closer look at Shirley. What happened next amused all of them.
"I will kill you..." Feeling that all eyes were glued to her, Shirley immediately flushed with anger. All she could think about after was how she would kill Rocky. The reason why she wore her loose clothes was because she didn't like being girly. But now, she dressed more like an ordinary girl.
"Basil, you don't have to be so rude," The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire signaled Rocky to stop.
"Behave yourself, Shirley. His Royal Highness was only playing a joke with you," Bryant reproached Shirley. In the Grand Holy Hall, everyone must always show respect to the emperor.
Shirley rolled her eyes at Rocky while in response, Rocky shrugged his shoulders and deliberately surveyed her for a while. Shirley's insides were boiling with rage but she knew she couldn't do anything about it.
"General Bryant should already know about the matter of arranged marriage, right?" The emperor was certain that Bryant had already been informed about it. He was asking to remind Bryant.
"Yes, I have been told about this matter. The Ximen Clan is deeply indebted to the royalty for all those years." Bryant responded quickly and submissively.
"So it means that…" The emperor stared at Bryant as he awaited his confirmation.
"I totally agree. Being handsome and fused with the Holy Dragon Bead, His Royal Highness will definitely become the new foundation of the royal family. It's truly fortunate for Shirley to have such a royal marriage," Bryant replied in an unusually sedate tone.
"I will dump him the moment we get married." Although Bryant had already agreed on the arranged royal marriage, Shirley still couldn't suppress her anger and talked back without thinking.
At that exact moment, everyone was astounded by Shirley's words. This was an arranged royal marriage and should never be the same as a common one. Even if the female gets relieved from the marriage appointment at her own request, she would have to vow never to remarry. A royal marriage was a big thing.
Shirley immediately realized that she created a dilemma for herself as she tried to humiliate Rocky in front of the public.
"Of course you can do that. I don't like you as well, you silly girl." Rocky was happy about what she said and he would be the happiest man on earth if she wanted to dump him because he would no longer be a puppet used in an attempt to control the Ximen Clan.
