The Medallion novel Chapter 1035

"General Lance, please ask Isis to come here. I'm going to take you with me. We will meet with someone," Marcia said to Lance, who lifted one eyebrow curiously.

"Who are we going to meet?" he asked. Marcia's vague words had confused him and also aroused his interest. Surely, she wasn't planning something dangerous, right?

"You'll know when we get there. It will be just the three of us, so don't bring any attendants with you. Disguise yourself, and make sure that nobody can recognize you. I'll wait for you in the teahouse in front of the headquarters..." After saying that, Marcia disappeared from where she stood.

Not long after, Lance and Isis, who were both wearing a hooded cloak to cover their faces, went to the teahouse in front of the headquarters to meet with Marcia. Marcia looked around vigilantly as soon as she spotted them, then said to the father and daughter, "Follow me closely." After saying that, she walked into the street and easily blended with the crowd.

Meanwhile, the two were a bit alarmed because of Marcia's suspicious behavior, but they still followed her.

Marcia took the two of them and circled Evian City once, just to make sure that they weren't being followed. Then, they finally arrived at the inn where Rocky and his companion were staying. The three of them went upstairs, one of them walked with sure steps, while the other two were following behind her with uncertain steps. Finally, they came upon the end of the hallway, where an inconspicuous door waited stood.

"Isis, you can enter first. I'm sure the person inside wants to see you the most," Marcia said, nodding to Isis and gesturing at the door.

Hearing this, Isis was stunned. She looked at her father before she gently pushed the door open. She saw a familiar figure standing in front of an open window, and the air came in and caressed the strands of hair around his face. She had seen this so many times in her dream, but every time she could only see his back. Every time he turned to face her, he would disappear, or she would wake up.

Isis thought that she was dreaming once again. She stared at the figure, silent and still as a shadow. Perhaps she was afraid that he would disappear the moment that she moved, or maybe she was scared that she would wake up if she made a sound.

At the same time, Lance, who had also managed to peek inside, was dumbfounded. He looked at Marcia in astonishment as if he was looking for confirmation that he wasn't the only one who could see this. Marcia nodded to him as if to say, "Yes, it is real." It was quite a sight that this great general of the Holy Dragon Empire, who could intimidate his enemies on the battlefield with just one glance, was so excited that his eyes watered with suppressed emotions.

Meanwhile, the figure standing in front of the window slowly turned around at the sound of the door opening. His eyes met Isis', and it felt like the beginning of a new life. His tall body trembled, as his eyes flashed with a hint of tenderness and guilt. The figure was Rocky, whom Isis had missed so much!

"Isis..." Rocky called out softly.

As soon as Isis heard that, it was like she finally woke up from a bad dream. Tears welled up in her eyes and swept across her cheeks. In the blink of an eye, she was in Rocky's arms, crying loudly, but safe and at home.

"I am so sorry! I made you suffer!" Rocky softly whispered to her as his hands moved up and down her back. His voice held grief and guilt for all the time that they had lost.

"Nothing is worse than losing you. I thought for countless times that I would give anything just to have you back..." Isis answered, sounding choked up with emotions, as she leant away from Rocky just enough to meet his eyes once again.

"It seems that they have a lot to talk about. Let's go to the next room." Marcia couldn't watch such a scene. It felt like she was intruding on something private, so she looked at Lance meaningfully, then led him to the next room.

Lance closed the door behind him and followed her, for he also felt like he was intruding on Isis and Rocky.

"Basil, how are you still alive? How did General Marcia find you?" Isis looked up at Rocky in confusion.

"It's a long story, which I will explain to you later. But for now, I have something important to ask you." As he spoke, Rocky looked down at Isis' slightly bulging belly.

Isis felt guilty and hid her face in Rocky's arms. He must know about what she had done then.

"I think you'd better confess first, then I'll forgive you." Seeing the guilty look on Isis' face, Rocky smiled.

At last, Isis couldn't resist the tenderness in his eyes, so she had to tell him the truth that she had plotted against him.

"Oh, I see. No wonder I didn't remember anything at that time. It turned out that Sabina was also an accomplice." Hearing that, Rocky suddenly realized that he was "framed" by the two women.

"I know that what I did was wrong, but I knew that you wouldn't agree at that time, so I had to act first. I was going to tell you and apologize to you later but... If it weren't for this baby, I wouldn't have been able to last until this day," Isis said in a dejected tone. Her feelings for Rocky had already been spilt over the surface, and there was no need to say anything more.

"For the sake of our child, I won't hold you accountable. You have suffered so much these past few days. As compensation, I'll be with you and our child in the future," Rocky said seriously. He already knew how much Isis loved him, and more than that, he had to take responsibility for what happened between them.

"Don't you blame me?" Isis was surprised that he wasn't angry with her. Not only that, but he was also committing himself to her. How did she get so lucky?

"I should thank you. If I really died at that time, at least I would have left an offspring in this world. But I don't know if the baby will look like you or me after it is born," Rocky said with a smile.

"Of course, it should look like me. If it's anything like you, then that will be bad," Isis grumbled.

"Why? Am I that ugly?" Rocky shook his head with a bitter smile.

"No! What I meant to say was that if it was a boy with a personality like yours, I don't know if he would flirt with other women like his father in the future. He might bring us a group of daughters-in-law..." Isis said with a teasing smile.

"When did I flirt with other women? You're hurting my feelings!" Rocky asked innocently.

"Didn't you? During your funeral back then, General Marcia, Her Royal Highness, Sabina, my cousin, and I all kept vigil beside your coffin. People who didn't know the truth would think that they were all your women. I don't know General Marcia's feelings about you. But I am sure the other women were all heart-broken..." Isis wanted to say something more, but hesitated at the last second. Anyway, it didn't matter anymore. Rocky should understand it very well by now.

"Really? Has Lena really forgiven me?" On the way back, Rocky had heard from Marcia that Lena had forgiven him a long time ago. However, there was still a knot in his heart, which could not be solved until he saw Lena.

"What happened between you and Her Royal Highness?" Isis couldn't help asking.

"I'll tell you later," Rocky answered vaguely, as he thought that it wasn't the right time to talk about it.

"By the way, where is Sue? Is she with you?" Isis suddenly asked. She thought that they might be together because Sue had disappeared right after Rocky had "died". Now that she thought about it, she wondered if he had taken her away.
