Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

The other major reason why the seven fiefs decided to send their representatives this time was to check if there was a possibility of allying with the other fiefs through marriages, just like what the Ghost Fief and the Flower Fief had done. However, all of them knew that this was not an easy arrangement. If one of the Godly Geniuses betrayed the other after getting married, there would be terrible losses that would outweigh the gain. In fact, this kind of situation already happened in the past. It was known that the Genie Fief would use their Godly Geniuses to entice the other Godly Geniuses to pledge allegiance to them. Because of this, the other fiefs who had already fallen victim to this scheme before had been very careful in considering this strategy.

If this had always brought a smooth alliance between fiefs, they would obviously try every means just to pull it off.

"Okay, I will tell you everything," Rocky replied, pretending to be enchanted.

"So, where is the ceremony being held?" Gloria asked again.

"In the square of the leader's mansion. However, the mansion is so big that you might have a hard time finding it," Rocky answered honestly.

"Yeah, you are right," Gloria said as her captivating eyes twinkled.

"Godly— I mean Miss Gloria. I think we should go back and meet with Elder Bryson first to attend the ceremony with our formal identities." The woman named Purple seemed quite nervous. Hearing this, Rocky secretly looked at Gloria to analyze her. He did not expect that someone would sneak into the mansion of the Ghost Fief's leader during this important occasion. Of course, he was almost certain that it had something to do with the engagement ceremony.

"Huh? That is so boring! I want to surprise them!" Gloria exclaimed as she revealed a devious grin on her face.

As the two continued to converse, Rocky became more certain that Gloria was planning to sabotage the ceremony. However, he thought that it might actually work in his favor. After all, he also wanted to get out of the engagement. Hence, if Gloria could mess it up, then he would be pleased.
