Chapter 1036 When He First Met That Gorgeous Woman
Thinking of this, Emmeline felt relieved.
"Cool. Since you've put it this way, I'll rest assured. Maybe you should wait a little longer. If he makes any moves, notify me. Jara and I will rush over immediately."
"Alright."
After they finished this topic, Clarissa asked, "How's your situation in Trikstin?"
When it came to this, Emmeline was overjoyed.
"Great! In fact, the news is true. There is a jade pendant here. Although it might be a little troublesome to retrieve it, it's not a big deal. Time is all we need."
"Good to hear that." Clarissa nodded.
Then, they chatted for a little while more before they hung up the phone.
After that, Clarissa looked at the portrait on the phone in disbelief.
"This is so unbelievable. I was just trying to double confirm with Emmeline, and it really turned out to be him!"
Actually, Anderson was also very surprised.
Previously, he only felt that Coby seemed complicated, but it didn't cross his mind that Coby was Coby Marsh.
When he thought of how Coby had deliberately approached Clarissa and Anne, his eyes darkened.
Then, Clarissa asked, "Why do you think he tried so hard to get close to us?"
Anderson shook his head.
"I have no idea," he paused and continued, "but I will deal with it, so don't think too much, alright?"
Hearing that, Clarissa nodded.
Right away, Anderson called and ordered his men to track Coby.
On the surface, it seemed like Anderson and Clarissa were here with their children for a trip.
However, Clarissa knew that Anderson had a group of spies who were secretly following and protecting them.
The moment they were in danger, those spies would immediately emerge and become their last barrier.
After Anderson gave his instructions, Clarissa was relieved. With that, she quickly washed up and went to bed.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
In the hotel room, Coby was standing in front of the window.
The window was open, and it was dozens of floors high. As the night wind blew in, it brought along the coldness and desolation of the desert.
With his eyes closed, he smelled the scent of the sand in the wind and took a deep breath.
This was a taste that he hadn't had in a long time.
No one would have imagined that Coby had not only been here before, but he was also here a long time ago when no one had existed.
At that time, this place was still a desolate desert. He inadvertently came here and saw that large piece of rock that split apart.
Yes, that large rock. Although everyone worshipped the myth and the rock nowadays, no one believed that this rock existed in the past.
With his own eyes, he saw a naked woman sitting in the middle of the stone. At that moment, she was panic and confused.
Her expression reminded him of a deer he caught when he was hunting last time. A deer that was separated from its herd.
Not only were her eyes round and bright, but they were also glossy, which softened his heart.
Hence, he rescued her and took her away. In his mind, he thought that she was a strange woman.
For no reason, she appeared in such a desolate desert all by herself.
Even if he asked her, she couldn't utter a word.
No, no. To be exact, she didn't know how to speak the human language.
Moreover, her pronunciations were so weird that no one could comprehend them.
So, later on, he knew that she was not from their country. Perhaps she stumbled into this place from some other place. Or perhaps... she wasn't a living creature from the earth.
Even so, out of a strange feeling, he decided to bring her along with him.
Although all of his underlings disagreed, he still insisted on bringing her out of the desert.
At that time, Coby was not the High-Priest, but he was already a well-known general in the army.
Knowing that this woman suddenly appeared out of nowhere, everyone felt that her identity was questionable and thought she was likely an assassin.
Nevertheless, only he himself knew that she wasn't.
Since the first time he saw her, he knew that she was not a threat to him.
Perhaps it was because of that pair of pitiful eyes, or perhaps it was because of the helplessness that emanated from the depth of her heart.
In short, she had melted his heart, and before he could realize it, he had developed feelings for her.
After that, by bringing her along with him, they went all the way to the east, got out of the desert, and went back to his own country.
As this woman was a fast learner, she soon learned to talk, dress up, and do what ordinary people would usually do in their daily life.
With that, she gradually became talkative, cheerful and had accepted the fact that she was here.
However, no matter how he asked about her origin, she would always avoid answering him.
Or perhaps, she did not know how to answer.
Hence, as time passed, he stopped asking.
Just like that, she lived with him in his manor. In fact, not many people knew about her because she lived in seclusion, and there were not many people in his manor. Besides, everyone in his manor was not allowed to tell the outsiders about her.
During that period of time, Coby and the woman had a great relationship. To her, he was the only person that was trustworthy and reliable in this world.
Every day, when he went to the royal court, she would stay at home and wait for him eagerly.
Then, after he came home, she would happily follow him wherever he went.
It was as if she was his loyal follower.
Although he was helpless, he enjoyed it. Moreover, when the two of them were rolling in the hay at night, she would hug him and never let go.
So, for a period of time, he thought things should remain this way.
After all, during those years, it was common for a man to have a few women.
Despite her unknown background, she posed no threat to him. In addition, he loved how she relied on him, made him happy, and relaxed his mind after he spent his day in the royal court full of deceits.
Hence, the days passed peacefully.
However, as her origin was unknown, their life wouldn't be a smooth sail.
One day, he unintentionally discovered a secret.
At that time, he had become the High-Priest, but the situation in the Imperial Court had changed.
The Empress was seriously ill, but she had no children to inherit the throne. Furthermore, she and the former High-Priest were at odds due to having different political views. Since Coby took over the position, she had a desire to regain her power.
