The Medallion Chapter 1038 You Are Really Alive

"Judging by your look, Alyssa must have told you the same thing, right?" Marcia asked when she saw
the strange expression on Rocky's face. She gently smiled as if telling him that she exactly knew what
was going on in his mind.

"Wait, do you mean..." The words just slipped right out of his tongue. It struck him that the two women
had so much in common. He had to admit that he was surprised to hear it from Marcia, and that it was
written all over his face.

"Well, it seems that my guess is right. Now I understand why Alyssa let you live after you were
captured and treated you as distinguished guest when you were in the Timber Deity Empire. It's
because you are the only person in the world who can help her remove the curse, the curse preventing
her from being a real spiritual race." The way Alyssa behaved around Rocky was not like the cruel and
proud princess that Marcia knew so well. Marcia guessed why Alyssa was acting so weird when she
learned how Rocky was received in the Timber Deity Empire.

"But I don't understand. Why are you also looking for me?" Rocky asked. He couldn't be the one Marcia
was looking for, even if he was indeed the one Alyssa needed.

"That's an easy question to answer. Since you can remove her curse, then you can do the same to my
curse. Because although it involves different spiritual race bloodlines, her curse and mine are the same
kind to a certain extent. We are both products of the human and spiritual race. Our curse is the same.
However, I don't think she has told you how to remove the curse," Marcia said as she eyed Rocky with
a skeptical look.

"She didn't tell me. But I don't think she actually knows how. But you know it, right? Is that what you're
telling me?" Rocky understood the meaning behind Marcia's words immediately.

"How could she not know if I already knew? How naive of you to think that way. I'm afraid she doesn't
want to tell the truth because you can only remove her curse when the two of you truly love each other



and your minds genuinely blend as one. She knows that you two can't have that kind of relationship, so
she didn't tell you." Marcia told him the only way to remove the curse.

Rocky then realized why Alyssa asked him to give up the throne after defeating Alston. It turned out
that Alyssa must have hoped that they could have a closer relationship in future and maybe they could
fall in love with each other. If he was the emperor, it was undoubtedly impossible for the two of them to
be together. Even if it was possible, it would be a forbidden relationship, which would inevitably lead to
unimaginable consequences.

"So, you don't have to be grateful for everything she has done for you. She didn't do it for you at all.
She did it because she knows you are her only hope. Of course, she cares about you to a certain
extent. If it weren't for her, you would have fallen into a troublesome situation indeed if you returned to
the Holy Dragon Empire alone, because you wouldn't be a match for Alston when you're totally
unprepared," Marcia said straightforwardly. Although she didn't like Alyssa because she knew what
Alyssa was up to, her impression of Alyssa had changed a little after what she had done this time.
However, there was no doubt that Alyssa would always be a strong opponent for her.

"But how can I remove the curse? Both of your curses in that matter! If anything, it sounds to me that I
am more like a key," Rocky asked again. He was having a hard time trying to figure out the whole
situation.

"Well, it's not a coincidence of course. I'm guessing you are somewhat different from ordinary people.
I'm afraid that you're the only person that can make that crystal clear," Marcia answered. She didn't
know either why Rocky was the only one who could break the curse.

"Oh, what the hell! Is it because I..." Rocky abruptly stopped talking. His heart was beating so fast.
Maybe it was because his soul did not belong to this world at all.



"Please don't panic. I am not insisting you to remove the curse like Alyssa. I think it's a good idea to let
nature run its course. Besides, I'm not interested in becoming a member of the spiritual race. So, don't
worry, I won't force you to do anything for me. After all, you can take a horse to the water, but you
cannot force it to drink," Marcia said ever so lightly.

"If the circumstances were completely different, I would help to remove the curse on both of you. I don't
mind at all. Both of you have done lots of favors for me and I am grateful," Rocky said sincerely. But the
current circumstances really made it difficult for him, and the worst part was he couldn't do anything
about it. He was unable to control his own feelings.

"You don't really have to think about us. You have your own mission to complete, and what you need to
do now is to wait for the right time. When the time comes, the entire Holy Dragon Empire will stir up a
storm because of you, and it will be a bloody one. But remember that this is also for the future of the
Holy Dragon Empire. If the empire ever falls into the hand of Alston, he will surely lead it to destruction.
There is no doubt in that. I won't allow him to end the empire!" Marcia said firmly. As far as she could
tell, Rocky was the only one who could save the Holy Dragon Empire.

"Although it's not what I want, I will comprise for the sake of everybody. I will wait, and I will completely
prepare for it," Rocky said seriously. His face turned dark as he clenched his fists on his side.

"It's a pity that we can't let Lena know that you are still alive. If she knew, she would let all her emotions
take control of her and she would definitely come to you. It will only make things worse, especially if it
leads to Alston getting suspicious. So, we must hide it from her like the last time. I hope she will not
blame me once she finds out in the future!" Marcia knew that she would have to be the mediator again.

"Take good care of Lena for me please. We both know Alston has coveted her for a long time. I'm
worried for her, so please keep him away from her. I know that things are harder now that Alston is



taking charge of the empire. I'm afraid he will certainly try his best to hurt her," Rocky said with a frown,
his eyes turning ice cold.

"I will certainly do that, even if you didn't ask. I will never let him lay a finger on Lena. I will teach him a
hard lesson myself if he tries to do anything to her," Marcia snapped. She would definitely make Alston
pay if he did something wrong to Lena.

"I'll leave her to you then. Please protect her. Alas, I think I should go now! I can finally have an
ordinary life for myself," Rocky joked lightly. As a matter of fact, the waiting period would make him
surely suffer. First, he wouldn't be able to go to Alston for revenge. Second, it wouldn't be a good time
for him to see Lena to sort out the matters of his heart.

"In case you need anything, do let me know," Marcia added sincerely before leaving.

Rocky nodded and bid farewell to Marcia with a slight bow.

Marcia watched Rocky as he went away. A gentle smile flashed across her face. She said to herself
lightly, "I'm really happy to see you alive. You don't know how scared I was when I went to the Timber
Deity Empire to see you. I was worried that Alyssa was just lying. But fortunately, it is true! I finally saw
you! You are alive again!"
