Divine Emperor of Death
-
chapter-672
The extremely powerful undulations told everyone here that the Third Prince has entered the Law Sea Stage!
The Low-Level Law Sea Stage to be exact!
"Your Highness!" Alchemist Yen instantly stood up as he felt the pressure cast on him disappear. He knew that his highness has deflected off the pressure by standing in front of them.
But even more than that, he turned incredibly ecstatic that his highness finally broke through to the Eighth Stage.
Agis Stirlander also had a similar expression of happiness but when he recalled that he had unknowingly betrayed, his expression deflated.While this happened, Davis had secretly switched places with his avatar by using Dark Concealing Shroud Art. Now, as the Solitary Soul Avatar that only had a soul type body, he would appear more enigmatic than ever.
Even the Havle Alstreim, who was clearly strong wasn't able to see through his avatar. Besides, as he hid in the shadows, he was ready to instantly kill the Third Prince, Alexi Ethren as long as the other party displayed hostility.
After all, the Third Prince's name was rather known to all and he had almost no hesitation in sacrificing his Soul Essence to kill!
Princess Isabella became his woman.
If something happened to her, a mere thought surfaced in his mind that he should massacre the entire Ethren Family, even if he had to experience tremendous pain stemming from his soul in the process!
However, he also became shocked by a certain matter as he looked at the pendant he wore, glow.
"Agis Stirlander..." Davis suddenly echoed his voice deeply; making his voice match his current persona as the Conferred Queen's protector."Yes!" Agis Stirlander turned stiff as he almost stood at attention.
"I have heard what happened between you and Young Mistress's subordinate Alchemist Davis. Since you confessed and took our side upon learning that the Third Prince might be an impostor, you are exempt from any punishments."
Agis Stirlander became stunned. He was almost sure that he would possibly die after this event but the verdict came out as he was forgiven by the Conferred Queen?
Princess Isabella imperceptibly nodded her head, 'So he waited for the Third Prince to show up... This way, the Third Prince wouldn't deign to punish Natalya's grandfather either.'
Agis Stirlander thought the same, that only because of his granddaughter did he escape with his life.
The Third Prince who was ignored from the start didn't look angered. Instead, he calmly listened to Davis's speech as if he were trying to understand the situation.
Then after seeing that the atmosphere got tense, he clasped his hand and slightly bowed, "Forgive me for my ignorance as I was in seclusion most of the time."
"May I know who you two are?"
Davis and Princess Isabella did not converse. Instead, they became silent as if they were scrutinizing the Third Prince.
Davis knew that the other party was in seclusion and his healthy body that was not injured by Princess Isabella's attacks that she cast before had basically confirmed their suspicions that he was the genuine Third Prince.
Agis Stirlander understood that situation with further worsen if none of them spoke, so he gritted his teeth and gathered his courage as he stepped in to explain.
"Your Highness, these two people are none other than the Conferred Queen, and her protector."
He proceeded to explain their background and what he exactly did to arrive at this situation.
"An impostor!?" Alexi Ethren blinked as he exclaimed.
He turned to look at Alchemist Yen for further information and saw the other party nodding his head. He had heard the gist of it from Alchemist Yen but didn't think that it would be this burdensome.
"It is just as little Agis said." Alchemist Yen nodded his head and recognizing that the Conferred Queen didn't really do anything to the investigator Agis Stirlander, he continued.
"The illusion and the disguise that person used is so powerful that even I couldn't see through it or detect anything amiss."
"Although I'm not sure of the entire scenario, if I hadn't seen this play out personally, then even I wouldn't dare to attest to little Agis claims!"
Alexi Ethren's eyes widened in shock as he turned to look at the Conferred Queen.
"Your highness, we've been almost thoroughly framed!" Alchemist Yen angrily exclaimed as his face flushed with a crimson hue.
"This..." Alexi Ethren had no idea what to say.
No matter what he said right now, it would come off as an excuse. He was in seclusion just a while ago, rudely disturbed from cultivating. Fortunately, he had just finished a full circulation in the meridian pathway and didn't sustain any injuries.
However, his subordinate's wrong was also his wrong in a sense and he felt the same way as well. Hence, a sense of guilt stemming from his sense of responsibility, made him feel bad.
Nevertheless, he didn't feel betrayed as he understood the gist of the situation.
Agis Stirlander was fooled because he had been in seclusion for a long time! When he closely thought about it, this scenario became a reality because of his carelessness!
Alexi Ethren's expression became a bit ugly.
"Do you understand your wrongs, Alexi Ethren?" Davis suddenly asked with a deep voice.
Alexi Ethren became taken aback before he wryly laughed, "What I just did was seclude myself in cultivation but who would've thought this might've become a cause for disaster..."
"Your Highness, you mustn't!" Alchemist Yen exclaimed.
"This is indeed my fault!" Alexi Ethren spoke boldly.
Alchemist Yen's expression became pale. His highness, the Third Prince was too honest and sympathetic for his own good. However, if it weren't for this trait, they wouldn't have become loyal at heart either.
Alexi Ethren smiled and shook his head, "However, that doesn't mean that I can be charged with a crime. I have done nothing, hence, it is within Conferred Queen's power to grant me one last chance to prove myself!"
He clasped his hands and once again deeply bowed.
"What if I want you dead right now?" Princess Isabella narrowed her eyes.
Alchemist Yen and Agis Stirlander became aghast as they heard her cold time. They knew that even the Alstreim Family was behind their backs, so it was possible that their highness could really not handle the consequences.
Agis Stirlander couldn't help but remind Alexi Ethren that the Alstreim Family is backing the Conferred Queen.
Alexi Ethren momentarily widened his eyes before his lips curved into a wry smile once again, "Then I can only retaliate by trying to escape with my life."
"Oh? You won't attack me instead?" Princess Isabella's eyes flashed.
Alexi Ethren chuckled and spoke in a helpless tone, "If I even remove a single strand of your hair, then I will become the sinner of the Ethren Empire by inviting a disaster. I'd rather not want to become that if possible..."
Princess Isabella let out a haughty harrumph and cast her gaze away, "Protector, deal with this issue for me..."
"As you command, Young Mistress!"
Davis deeply echoed and looked at Alexi Ethren while Princess Isabella almost curved her lips upon hearing his statement.
'Young Mistress...' Somehow, she liked the sound of it, especially when it is called by him.
"Alexi Ethren, there is one way you can prove yourself innocent and completely dissolve yourself of attracting trouble from the Alstreim Family."
Alexi Ethren narrowed his eyes, wondering if this person was going to make him the Conferred Queen's subordinate. Considering how haughty the Conferred Queen appeared to be, it might actually be possible.
His eyes twitched upon realizing this fact.
"What is it?" He asked, feeling restless.
If there was a way to get himself out of this mess, he felt that he could rather take the risk!
