Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master

Chapter 106 Conspiracy

"Of course! Your Royal Highness, you can evaluate all the spirit-manipulated beasts on the Super

Beast Farm. By the way, you can help us to find the value of these beasts." Tobin was so impressed

after watching Rocky's exceptional skill in evaluating beasts yesterday.

"A few spirit-manipulated beasts are enough. But could you help me to find a quiet place?" Rocky said

with a little hollow laugh at once. He didn't know that Tobin was so greedy until now. He even wanted

Rocky to evaluate all the spirit-manipulated beasts.

Tobin then arranged a remote stable for Rocky in a short time. Few people would come there. Rocky

was very satisfied with that. Afterward, Tobin also asked his men to send a few spirit-manipulated

beasts to Rocky at once.

Rocky stayed there alone and evaluate the beasts through his Magical Evaluation Skill. He was busy in

evaluating but he enjoyed himself.

Time flew! Working until late in the afternoon, Rocky forgot to have lunch, which Tobin had brought for

him. Tobin had prepared the best food for him in order to please him.

Though it was a big meal, Rocky didn't take notice and didn't bother about eating. He was obsessed

with his work.

Rocky didn't walked out of the stable slowly until it turned dark. He came to the Palace City after saying

goodbye to Tobin.

For the next days, Rocky gave the ten-thousand golden bill to the guards of Palace City in order to the

Super Beast Farm. Moreover, Prince Basil was so famous in the Holy Dragon Empire. The guards

gladly let him go out of the Palace City. Sometimes, he would come along with Uriah for intensive

training.

One day, Lena went to Rocky's chamber as soon as he had left. She wanted to find out from the maids

where Rocky had gone. As usual, he left before dawn and stayed out until very late, making it almost

impossible for anyone to know what he was up to.

"All right! I will come back later. In a few minutes I should be at Consort Allison's. She is teaching me

embroidery." Having learned that Rocky was not in, Lena left with her own maids.

Elsewhere, a terrible conspiracy was cooking in Alston's palace, on the other side of the Palace City.

"Priest Dean, have you finished preparing the secret medicine?" Alston asked as he looked at Priest

Dean, who was seated beside him. Though they stayed in Alston's palace, he still asked in a whisper,

afraid that someone might eavesdrop on their conspiracy, which would throw a spanner in the works for

them.

Priest Dean cautiously brought out a black bottle from his sleeve and gave it to Alston. At once, Alston

smiling insidiously, stretched his hand to receive the black bottle. But instead of handing out the bottle,

Priest Dean held back and cautioned sternly, "If something goes wrong, I think that you should know

how to do it. I don't want to get into trouble for helping you to prepare the medicine. Have you ensured This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

that your plans are airtight?"

"Don't worry. I am well prepared, and I can assure you, we will succeed this time. Consort Allison is not

at ease today, meaning His Majesty might not go to her chamber. I have also bought off all her maids.

There won't be anyone else in the palace at that time. Of course, we'll have to eliminate anyone who

might pose a threat to our plan. Don't worry!" Alston was like a cold-blooded murderer, and he made

his plans meticulously, well in advance.

His confidence finally made Priest Dean relaxed enough to give out the black bottle. "It is easy to use.

You only need to blow the powder into the room," Dean explained. "We only need him to inhale the

slightest amount of the powder. Unless he is a spirit manipulator, above the Divine Stage, he won't

survive drug."

"Thanks for your help, Priest Dean. That's what we have been waiting for." Alston caught the black

bottle and carefully assessed it. Awed by the magical power of the powder, a smile crept to his face.

Every part of their plot was perfect, so far.

Rocky brought Uriah to his chamber at dusk. His maids told him that Lena had come to see him earlier

in the day. For a moment, he debated with himself whether he should check on Lena and find out why

she had come looking for him. But before he could decide, an unfamiliar maid came into the chamber.

"Could you tell me where His Royal Highness is?" that maid inquired.

"What is the matter?" Rocky asked when he realized she wasn't Lena's maid.

"Your Royal Highness, Consort Allison would want to have a word with you in her chamber alone. She

has something important to tell you," said the maid.

'Consort Allison? She is the consort of Basil's father. Why does she want me to go there?' There was

something odd, and he could sense it. He had hardly met Allison, let alone talking to her. But he still

nodded and followed the maid to Allison's chamber, wondering why she wanted to talk to him secretly.

Meanwhile, in her chamber, Allison and Lena were discussing something.

"Lena, you have been obsessed with embroidery lately. Is there someone special that you would want

to give that beautiful embroidered piece you just made? Have you fallen in love with someone?" Allison

asked Lena while Lena was lost in her embroidery, doing a mandarin duck* patterns on the

handkerchief. Allison was an adorable woman with charming looks and a warm personality

(*TN: mandarin duck is a symbol of love in China.)

Lena did not immediately realize what she was saying. When she did, she became so blushed that

Allison knew the girl was in love with someone. Feeling embarrassed to slip a secret about her love,

Lena fumbled with the needle, piercing her index finger in the process. "Consort Allison, there's no one

at all. I... haven't given any serious thought to love, and... stuff," she replied with a slight stutter, trying

to avoid looking so obvious. But even if she denied being in love, her face was blushing red like a rose.

It was obvious that she was falling in love with someone.

"Really?" Allison just smiled, clearly aware that Lena was a shy girl by nature.

"It is getting dark. It is time to go home." Lena looked outside. Twilight deepened. She also wanted to

see Rocky, so it was time for her to leave. She stood up in a hurry and suddenly, but strangely a

sudden dizziness crept on her. It felt like she was going to hit on the ground the next moment.

Quickly, Allison rushed forward to support her from falling. In a worried tone she asked, "Is anything

wrong, Lena? Are you feeling dizzy? You were well just now."

"I feel light headed, like I might be coming down with a flu. I didn't have a good rest last night. Nothing

major to worry about." When Lena touched her own forehead, she sensed she was starting to run a

fever.

"Come have a rest, please. You can't go out before we are clear that you are strong enough. You can

as well sleep in my bed," Allison offered, getting worried at how Lena looked pale in the face.

"How could I sleep in your bed? I don't want to inconvenience your rest." Lena declined, shaking her

head. But then she sensed she was getting more and more dizzy.

"Never mind. I have asked the cooks to make some special soup for His Majesty. I am going to bring

the soup to him. Meanwhile, you rest here," Allison said with a smile. She then wrapped her arm

around Lena's shoulders and walked her to bed.

After Lena lay down, she smiled to Allison to show her appreciation.

"Have a rest now. When I come back, I will arrange people to send you back," Allison said, on her way

out of the room.

Lena nodded at her feebly, her body feeling heavy. She closed her eyes and gradually drifted off.
