Divine Emperor of Death

However, Evelynn’s expression possessed no fear, just a bit of nervousness.

"Oh... Someone finally wasn’t able to suppress their desire to know more about the Conferred Queen?" Davis widened his eyes as he smiled.

Nevertheless, inwardly, he somehow felt that they were challenging him.

He blinked, wondering why he was feeling like that. Perhaps somewhere in his heart, he had already started to think Princess Isabella as his and his alone after that event where he confessed that he liked her.

The avatar that was in the corner like a scholar, stood up and exited the building through the open windows and shot towards the distance. A mask was already on its face, hence, he was not afraid that someone would recognize him.

His speed was tremendous, and as an existence that was similar to a soul body at the Peak-Level of Mature Soul Stage, his speed reached the levels of hundred kilometers per second!

Soul bodies were incredibly fast! Many times faster than fleshy bodies at the same stage! That is why people found it difficult to exterminate people who escape with their souls.

Davis quickly arrived a street away from the entrance, and at the same time, when he looked back, a beautiful flower emerged that made him widen his eyes.

A smile subconsciously appeared over his lips.

"Stay back, I’ll take care of this..."

The woman looked at Davis with a blank expression on her face when a few other people appeared in the distance. She then surprisingly nodded her head but didn’t display any kind of emotions on her face.

The smile that was on his lips, widened.

Princess Isabella exited seclusion!

Furthermore, the fact that she failed to even display a solemn expression on her face which she would usually cast when facing danger told him that she was consciously suppressing her emotions in front of him.

He turned his head and reached the door that was at the entrance of the residence. The door was pushed open by him and he saw three experts standing before him ten meters away.

A few minutes before, in the Throne Hall of the Ethren Empire.

"You dared to hide such a piece of important information from us, the Alstreim Family!?"

The Ethren Emperor stood before the throne and his expression was at a loss when he heard the person in front of him floating highly speak but even then, he didn’t dare to take offense as he gulped.

It was none other than the new envoy of the Alstreim Family.

The First Prince and the Second Prince were hurriedly entering the Throne Hall, and so did some other people.

Considering the commotion that echoed through Royal Palaces, the people who were informed all rushed here.

"Envoy Havle Alstreim, didn’t you already audit the Empire’s revenue this year?"

Havle Alstreim, who looked suave, said with an irritated expression on his face, "I am not talking about that! Why didn’t you inform us of this esteemed lady known as the Conferred Queen!?"

He pointed towards his back, "If these two subordinates of mine didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t have known!"

Behind Havle Alstreim, there were two people who were also Alstreim Family members.

One of them echoed, "Yes! We two arrived here a month ago and learned about the significance of the Conferred Queen! It seems that the royals and the nobles here are secretly investigating the Conferred Queen’s background."

Meanwhile, the Second Prince, Keith Ethren who had an innocent expression on his face, inwardly screamed, ’Ahhh!!! All that masquerading has become useless! Now that the Alstreim Family is here, they would easily be able to identify the Conferred Queen’s mysterious background!’

He had been masquerading as the Third Prince to drown him along with his scheme but if the Alstreim Family makes a move now, then all he had done would become useless!

Havle Alstreim coldly smiled, "What do you have to say about this, Emperor Ethren?"

"Envoy! We didn’t intentionally hide anything! Information of the Conferred Queen is available almost everywhere in Ethren City since she is incredibly popular among our citizens!"

Emperor Ethren narrowed his eyes. He didn’t want the Alstreim Family to have a piece of the meat or enlarge the influence but if he got caught, then he had no choice but to suck up and deny the allegations!

Havle Alstreim furrowed his brows. He obviously wouldn’t buy this bullshit. They didn’t hide it but didn’t tell them either.

How can such a piece of important information not be informed?

’Such a woman was something that only the Alstreim Family should covet in this territory! How dare they, a low-level power, wag their tails!?’ He inwardly became angry.

However, last time when he was here, he rather had a pleasurable time with one of their princesses and he didn’t want scandals ruining his name either. He promptly didn’t try to escalate this matter of concealment but tried to take it into his hands.

He snorted, "Hmph! Where is the Conferred Queen’s residence, I want to meet with that young lady!"

Emperor Ethren chuckled, "A word of caution... The Conferred Queen Isabella doesn’t seem to place our Ethren Empire in her eyes since she doesn’t even bother to accept our invites."

"Hmph! You don’t need to say that! A woman of such a caliber isn’t all for you to look at!" Havle Alstreim revealed his contempt.

He was already deeply angered that he had wasted months! All this time, if he could’ve become somehow acquainted with such a woman, then the status in his family would undoubtedly improve!

Emperor Ethren became instantly angered but he didn’t show it on his face other than his face becoming cold. He looked at his first son, Hadre Ethren.

"Hadre, accompany Lord Envoy to the Conferred Queen’s residence in the second level."

He then turned towards one of the Royal Protectors, "Elder Freed, you can also accompany them."

"We understand, royal father/your majesty!"

Hadre Ethren and Freed Ethren simultaneously echoed.

Keith Ethren looked at them and his royal father as he narrowed his eyes, ’Does royal father favor elder brother?’

The succession to the Ethren Empire’s Throne was just near the corner. He couldn’t help but think so before he inwardly shook his head.

’This could be a dangerous endeavor if the Conferred Queen reacted aggressively, so it can also be said that royal father doesn’t want to endanger me...’

In the Royal Palace, every move and every command issued had a certain objective and meaning to it. So Keith Ethren felt that he was not reading too much into it.

In the Royal Social Scene, you have to read everything, otherwise, one would see themselves slipping over a narrow slope, only to fall to their deaths!

Havle Alstreim harrumphed and moved out of the Throne Hall, along with his subordinates, followed by the First Prince and a Royal Protector.

Looking at them leave, Keith Ethren had the urge to confess the information he obtained so as to obtain more benefits but when he recollected that his actions were supported by an external power that stands as a rival to the Alstreim Family, he decided against it!

Wouldn’t he be offending that mysterious expert skilled in illusions?

’The Flowing Mist Sect’s mysterious person who supports my claim to the Throne is also obviously interested in the Conferred Queen for the same or different reasons. I want to set up Third Brother but that mysterious person looked like he really wanted to know the background of the Conferred Queen.’

’Tch! Otherwise, I would’ve killed that stupid subordinate of his long-ago for not quickly collecting information!’ Keith Ethren cursed in his mind.
