Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

"Did you take a long trip to come over here, just to say in front of Basil's mourning hall that you lost to him?" Of course, Marcia wouldn't believe a word out of Alyssa's mouth. If it weren't for her, Basil wouldn't have died. After all, it was all because of her that Basil risked his life to help the Crimson Dragon Army.

"I don't know... I just..." In fact, even Alyssa didn't know the reason why she came. When she learned that Rocky was Prince Basil, she suddenly felt upset as if she became an entirely different person. An anxiety rose in her to confirm if Basil really was dead.

"If it weren't for the Timber Deity Empire, Basil wouldn't be dead! You came here just to check if he really is dead, because if he's still alive, you can personally avenge your brother, right?" Marcia angrily spat out and her spiritual power rose higher and higher. Pure anger sharpened her gaze at Alyssa.

"Revenge?" A smothered giggle left Alyssa's lips before she caved in and burst into a fit of laughter.

"What are you laughing at?" Marcia asked coldly.

"My brother's not dead. There's no need for me to take revenge." Alyssa shrugged.

"Not dead? My disciple... she... she witnessed his death with her own eyes..." Marcia's eyes widened when she heard Alyssa's words.

"It seems that you think that in order to keep a good reputation, Basil chose to perish with my brother instead of betraying the Holy Dragon Empire and paying allegiance to the Timber Deity Empire. I did guess that that's what you thought..." Alyssa said indifferently. It was within her expectations before she even arrived that the Holy Dragon Empire thought that Basil died along with her brother.

"Isn't it true...?" Marcia couldn't help but ask. Alyssa's calm was unfeigned, which implied that her brother really might not be dead yet.

"Although I really don't know much about what happened, my brother really is still alive. Basil saved him. My brother said that on the way back to the Timber Deity Empire, they were ambushed by a group of powerful mercenaries. Th

the Holy Dragon Empire was at Basil's mourning hall. Both of them obviously had a close relationship with him. After Alyssa spoke, her body's spiritual light suddenly grew even brighter and her aura became stronger.

Bang!

The golden orange light barrier was broken by the strong spiritual light in an instant. Even Lena was forced to take a step back at the invisible spiritual power's impact.

"If I can avenge Basil's death, I'm more than willing to die, not to mention a mere shortening of life span. I can die early and be with him," Lena firmly and angrily uttered.

"You're so infatuated with him! It is unexpected that the Witch of the Holy Dragon Empire has a crush on him. But isn't that a taboo for the Witch? I learned that it's impossible for a Witch, who possesses the power of the spiritual race, to be in a relationship with a mortal." A sinister smile cruelly bloomed on Alyssa's lips but she looked a little disappointed too. Even though a glimmer of hope blossomed in her, it was immediately destroyed right before her eyes. She didn't expect that the Witch of the Holy Dragon Empire would be willing to sacrifice everything for revenge. It was clear for all to see that Lena loved Basil deeply and Alyssa couldn't help but envy it, for she had never experienced that kind of love. She was unable to love someone the way Lena loved Basil.
