Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master

Chapter 109 Rush Out

The emperor hastily returned to Allison's room. Lena had been dressed in a robe and sat morosely,

Allison right beside her. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying.

"Lena, what happened? Why did Basil and you..." the emperor asked hesitantly.

"I... I don't know! I just remember that I felt so sick and lost consciousness then. That feeling was

strange... And when I woke up, I saw Basil lying beside me! We weren't wearing any clothes. And there

was a bloodstain on the bed..." Lena answered bitterly, shaking her head.

"Your Majesty, let her have some rest first. This poor girl has gone through quite a lot today. How about

asking her those questions tomorrow?" Allison said gently.

The emperor nodded and ordered the servants to take care of Lena. Then he turned around and left.

Rocky, however, had been sent into the Introspection Hall by several royal guards. They encircled the

hall, guarding him strictly.

When Alston returned, rage surged up and sent his heart pounding in his chest. Despite the

unexpected changes, he had made up his mind and already drawn up a new plan.

The next day in the Violet Cloud Hall, the emperor was greeted by Alston. They were the only ones

there.

"Father, I have had my men search around Consort Allison's place and they found this suspicious

bottle," Alston said, handing over the object in question to the emperor.

The emperor looked at the bottle for a while and then glanced inside it. When he saw the bottle was

empty, he frowned a little and asked, "What was inside before?"

"I have no idea about this as well. Perhaps, Priest Dean can shed some light on it," Alston answered.

After giving it some thought, the emperor ordered a subordinate to summon Priest Dean.

After a while, Priest Dean walked into the Violet Cloud Hall hastily and bowed to the emperor. "Your

Majesty, what do you need me to do in such a hurry?"

The emperor stood up and walked to Priest Dean. He thrust the bottle at him and demanded, "Priest

Dean, can you identify what was in this bottle before?"

Priest Dean took the bottle and smelled. He then looked shocked and exclaimed, "Is this the Amorous

Powder? Taking it will make people lose consciousness. And... and this powder stimulates sexual

desire. When I made an inventory of the medicine in my stocks, one bottle of this powder was

unaccounted for. Is this the one? But it's already empty. Is..."

The emperor turned grim-faced as he heard Priest Dean.

"Father, it must be Basil! He must have stolen the powder from Priest Dean and made Lena take it.

That explains everything! But how did he know Lena was in Consort Allison's place? Perhaps his target

was not Lena in the first place, but Consort Allison!" Alston said, fabricating a charge against Rocky

with an exquisite sense of timing.

The emperor's brows knitted together. "Bring Prince Basil here now!"

Rocky was soon escorted into the Violet Cloud Hall. His tired face showed that he had a sleepless

night.

As Rocky entered the hall, he glanced silently at the emperor, Alston and Priest Dean. He knew well

that no matter how hard he tried to explain himself, no one would believe his word. He collected his

thoughts for the whole night and realized quite clearly that he had been framed. He firmly believed that

it was Alston who set him up.

"Basil, why did you do this? Do you have any idea what a serious crime you have committed?" the

emperor asked angrily.

"I'm innocent! I was framed!" Rocky answered calmly, shooting a cold glare at Alston.

"You were framed? Stop making ridiculous excuses! We already found hard evidence. Just confess to

the crime, Basil! You stole the Amorous Powder from Priest Dean and then planned to make Consort

Allison to take it. But because she was out, you changed your target and made Lena your victim. You

are so despicable!" Alston shouted at him.

"Basil, is Alston telling the truth?" the emperor asked loudly, gritting his teeth.

"No!" Rocky denied firmly.

"Then why did you do that to Lena last night? Give me a reasonable explanation!" the emperor

exclaimed.

"I..." Rocky didn't know how to explain what happened last night. Although he knew well he was framed

by Alston, he had no evidence to prove himself. Suddenly, Rocky remembered Lena. If Lena still

remembered what happened, she might help him to get out of this predicament!

"Let me see Lena. She can prove that I'm innocent!" Rocky answered firmly.

"You are so ridiculous! You have done such a horrible thing to her! And now you want to see her? How

could it be possible she still wants to see you?" Of course, Alston knew better than to let Rocky see

Lena.

"How do you know the answer? You are not Lena," Rocky retorted, noticing that Alston had gotten

quite anxious.

"No matter what her answer is, you are not allowed to see her anyway! Priest Dean, tell Prince Basil

what a serious crime he has committed, "Alston said as he turned to Priest Dean.

"The Witch is the symbol of the Holy Dragon Empire, a holy and pure being. What you have done to

Witch Lena offends our holy symbol! What you have done deserves the death penalty. Nobody can get

away with it, not even a prince," Priest Dean answered seriously. Alston had told him what happened

ahead. He didn't expected that coming at all. Their original plan was to accuse Rocky of adultery, but

Lena had taken the powder instead of Allison! Now he could only be condemned to death. In order to

cover up their conspiracy, Alston and Priest Dean had no other choice but to steer Rocky's fate into

death.

"Father, we have gotten the hard evidence. We should carry out the death penalty as soon as possible.

If the empire finds out what Basil has done, how can the royal family keep its dignity and honor?"

Alston said to the emperor. He was worried that the emperor would show his partiality to Rocky, so he

emphasized the scandalous consequences at once.

The emperor was still hesitating. It was clear that Rocky was definitely in a difficult position. Priest

Dean was right. Nobody could get away with the death penalty for such a crime, not even a prince. So

even the emperor had no way to help Rocky now.

"Your Majesty, please let me see Lena! If Lena also thinks that I deserve the death penalty, I will accept

the verdict without hesitation!"

The emperor froze as hearing that.

"Don't! Father! Considering how close they are, Lena will definitely help him. That's what he's

planning!" Alston exclaimed at once.

Seeing the emperor hesitate, Rocky grew increasingly worried that the emperor would believe Alston,

who had been framing him this whole time. Now that he had no other way to prove himself, Lena was

his only chance. Rocky had already made up his mind. Despite the risk, he decided to see Lena

anyway.

As everyone was distracted by the matter at hand, he activated all his spiritual power and jumped into

the air. Shooting out of the Violet Cloud Hall, a shadow flashed over the sky.

"Stop him right now!" Alston cried out in shock. As soon as the royal guards outside the Regal Hall

heard Alston, they tried to stop Rocky.

But it was too late already. Rocky had rushed out and headed for Lena's place.

"Father, he is trying to get away with the punishment because of guilt. I will take my men to stop him

right now." Cruelty sparkled in Alston's eyes as he bowed to the emperor. Then he walked out the

Violet Cloud Hall as well.

"I will go with Prince Alston, Your Majesty!" Priest Dean bowed to the emperor and then left away.

Now the emperor was the only one left in the Violet Cloud Hall, grim-faced.

Rocky, meanwhile, was rushing to Lena's place as fast as he could. But soon he noticed that numerous

figures were rushing to him from all the directions, trying to block his way. He clenched his teeth and

continued rushing forwards.

In a matter of seconds, Rocky had reached the square in front of the Witch Palace. But hundreds of

royal guards had stood in lines in the square and tried to stop Rocky to get into the hall.

"Get out! Or you are going to meet my fist! I don't want to hurt anyone!" Rocky roared angrily. He knew

well that they must be Alston's men. But no matter what, he would tried everything to get in and see
