Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

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.

Right after they got out of the mansion, they rode Gilbert's mount and headed directly to the Royal Land.

Upon entering the Royal Land, they proceeded to the imperial palace, where the king should be waiting for them.

However, as soon as they entered the palace, they were welcomed by many important figures of the Shura Race. These included the elders and ministers of the royal family, as well as Layla and Enoch.

Aside from them, Rocky and Gilbert also noticed the presence of strong warriors at the Shura Realm standing on opposite sides with unfriendly expressions on their faces.

When Rocky looked at Layla, he recognized the anxiousness and restlessness in her eyes. Hence, he instantly knew that they would be in huge trouble.

At the same time, the king sat majestically on the throne, and his eyes were like daggers, piercing through Rocky and Gilbert.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. I received the message that you are summoning us." Gilbert and Rocky tried to remain calm despite the tense atmosphere. They walked towards the king and bowed in front of him.

"Yes. I have been waiting for you. Guards, arrest Odin!" the king suddenly ordered.
