Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

"You bastard..." Shocked to the core, Lucilla couldn't think of anything at that moment. There was only one person that Lucilla would call "bastard," and that was Rocky. She had feelings for him but couldn't control him, like she absolutely had no idea what he was doing.

"What are they doing?" Lucas asked in a mixture of annoyance and amusement as he watched Rocky and Lucilla kiss each other in a tight embrace. He didn't understand why they were acting like this all of a sudden. Lucilla hadn't asked Rocky to do anything, but there seemed to be a tacit understanding between them. The previously complicated situation now seemed to have spiraled out of control.

Tate was equally confused as he watched the scene in front of him with his eyes almost popping out of his sockets. Just when he took a step forward to stop them, however, his father pulled him back.

Alexander hadn't expected this to happen, but he knew that they couldn't panic now. A single misstep could cause their carefully crafted plan to go down the drain. Therefore, he couldn't allow his son to do anything rash.

said, staring at the scene with a gloomy expression on his face. He was angry that a great opportunity had once again been destroyed by Rocky.

Lucilla, I know you must feel ashamed to have to rely on a man in order to protect your reputation and position of the chief of the Cao Clan, but there's no need for that. As long as you marry me and let our two clans unite by marriage, I promise that no one can take your position away from you!" His eyes were red with fury. No matter what, he couldn't believe that Lucilla and Rocky were an item. It had to be an act they were putting on in order to protect her reputation as well as the Cao Clan's.
