Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 946 Just Like A Real Battle
However, the proposal seemed to be more like a real battle now. Tate and Rocky had used every resource that they had to fight for the right to marry Lucilla, be it their skills, treasures, or connections. However, since Prince Geoffrey and Prince Woods had shown up, it was not just a proposal anymore, but a battle between the two princes and the clans that were backing them. "Woods, no matter what, the only one who can match Chief Lucilla is Mr. Tate. This Mr. Rookie is just a beast master, and he is not even a citizen of our Timber Deity Empire. Why are you helping him?" Geoffrey sneered.
"Brother, can't you see that Chief Lucilla doesn't like Mr. Tate? I can't, in good conscience, force her to marry someone that she does not want to marry," Woods answered calmly.
"You are too naive, brother. Love and other feelings can be cultivated. It is more important to make sure that the two parties’ backgrounds are well-matched. Moreover, it must be for the good of our Timber Deity Empire. I think the marriage between the Cao Clan and the Qi Clan is reasonable and necessary!" Geoffrey said with certainty. He was a little surprised that Woods would appear here and risk going against him, just because of an outsider, because Woods had been very low-key in gathering his power for the past few years. Woods had never fought against him directly, but now, he was openly opposing him. This seemed out of character for the brother that he knew.
"I think that is just your wishful thinking, brother.” Woods knew that Geoffrey wanted to use the marriage between the two clans to control the Cao Clan through the Qi Clan. Of course, he didn't expect that Geoffrey would use the Qi Clan to deal with the Cao Clan so soon. It was very fortunate that Rocky supported him, or he would have lost the support of the Cao Clan.
"Woods, are you sure you want to interfere in this matter?" Geoffrey was starting to get angry. He could tell that Woods was declaring war on him openly, and his audacity was annoying him very much.
In that instant, the atmosphere in the hall shifted into a tightly coiled ball of tension. The tit-for-tat between the two princes was like a keg of gunpowder that could blow any minute, and the people inside broke out in cold sweat.
"It depends on which proposal Chief Lucilla will agree to, the one made by the Qi Clan or the one that Mr. Rookie made,” Woods said coldly.
At this time, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Lucilla as if they were suddenly reminded that everything hinged on her decision. The one that she was being forced to make.
Lucilla first glanced at Geoffrey, and then looked at Rocky and Woods. Above them all, she was the one who had the biggest problem among all the people in the room. She didn't want to agree to the Qi Clan's offer, but at the same time, she also didn't want to agree to Rocky's offer. If she accepted Rocky's offer, she would have to marry him, and that would put him in a precarious decision when he was just trying to help her. This was a matter of marriage, something big and permanent, and she didn't want to drag Rocky down with her. She was also worried that if she agreed to Rocky's proposal, the fight between the two princes would be triggered. Although she knew that the fight would happen sooner or later, she did not want to start it now, for the time was not yet ripe. The Cao Clan was still ill-prepared for war, so she didn't know what to do!
"Lucilla, if you are having trouble making a decision, you can think about it for a few more days. I think Prince Woods won't mind waiting, right?" Rocky interrupted because he saw through Lucilla's mind, and he could see that she was struggling to make a decision. As he spoke, he looked at Woods as if to ask for his support.
"Yes, I can wait patiently!” Woods chimed in immediately.
On the other hand, Geoffrey's face darkened, for he knew that if he lost this chance, he would have no more chances in the future. If he did not stop them tonight, the Cao Clan would stand by Woods" side.
"Unfortunately, Chief Lucilla, I cannot wait. You must give me an answer tonight.” Geoffrey gave this ultimatum with an impatient frown.
Everyone looked at Lucilla again.
"Sister, I would rather you marry that bastard,” Queenie grumbled softly beside her, as she bit her pink lips in distress.
"I..." Lucilla opened her pink lips but no words came out. She truly was having a tough time, and she felt like she was between a rock and a hard place.
"I didn’t expect that Chief Lucilla's birthday banquet would be so lively!" Just as the whole situation reached a stalemate, a faint voice suddenly came from outside.
Everyone turned to look at the direction where the voice came from, and they saw a delicate figure coming in with an imposing manner. She gave off the feeling of strong wind, and everyone was shocked when they saw who it was. All the people who saw the figure wore varying expressions of astonishment, as they bowed hurriedly and said, "Your Royal Highness!"
No one expected that Alyssa would show up this time.
"Alyssa, what are you doing here?" Geoffrey's face was lined with a deep frown because he did not expect her to show up. Her presence was an unforeseen factor, and he became slightly anxious, as she could throw a wrench in his carefully curated plans.
"Someone asked me to help him propose to Chief Lucilla...” Under the watchful eyes of the public, Alyssa walked to the front of the Magnificent Hall, stood beside Lucilla, and looked around the crowd.
Hearing this, all the people present were stunned again, because they couldn't figure out who Alyssa would help to propose. What's more, the Qi Clan and Rocky were already at odds with each other. If someone stepped in, it could dip the precarious balance of the situation, and everything would only grow more complicated.
"Your Highness, who are you helping to propose?” Lucilla asked in surprise.
"Him." Suddenly, Alyssa pointed to someone behind them.
Everyone looked at the direction where the finger was pointing to, and they were all startled because, lo and behold, it was Rocky who was standing there.
"No way! He already invited Prince Woods to support him, and now he even managed to invite Princess Alyssa. Who is this person that he had a prince and a princess at his beck and call? How did he accomplish this?" The people's minds were asking the same questions at that moment.
Lucilla couldn't help but look at Rocky in astonishment. She had never thought that Rocky could not only invite Woods but also Princess Alyssa. The honor that he had brought was far greater than what she, the chief of the Cao Clan, deserved. Most importantly, with Alyssa's position in the Timber Deity Empire, this sentence was like an imperial edict. And since she said that she would propose a marriage for Rocky, who would dare to oppose this?
As soon as Alyssa's words fell from her lips, Geoffrey, Alexander, and Tate trembled in their place. They were filled with frustrated anger, but they could not say anything.
"I came here in a rush, so I didn't prepare any gift." In the face of everyone's surprise, Alyssa looked very calm as if her presence in that room was something normal. She turned to look at Lucilla. "Your Highness, please don't say that. I'm already so flattered that you came here in person to help Rocky propose to me," Lucilla replied politely.
"I have a Spiritual Weapon made of a hundred-year-old Airy Silk, which I used in the past. Although it is only a low-grade Spiritual Weapon, I am sure that with Chief Lucilla's cultivation base, it will be easy for you to use. If you don't mind, just take it." At this moment, as soon as she finished speaking, Alyssa gathered her spiritual power, and at the same time, a silver light shone over all of them. A silk-shadow darted out from the Magic Spiritual Space. It swayed in the air softly and unsteadily, and its power and beauty took everyone's breath away. Finally, the Airy Silk fell into her hand, which she then handed to Lucilla.
The moment that the other people realized what had happened, the entire Magnificent Hall fell once again into an uproar.
