Divine Emperor of Death

”Isabella, it seems that my parents donʼt want your gifts and doesnʼt accept us... Letʼs return...” Davis grasped her hand and walked towards the exit of the room.

Princess Isabella blinked in confusion, wondering that there was no need to act like this in front of his parents.

Claire and Logan realized that they had gone too far.

They instantly realized that Princess Isabella had rather come for their acceptance regarding the marriage, but they acted rather insensitive to her, only caring about their son.

Claireʼs expression changed.

She had thought that her son and Princess Isabella had a strained relationship but to think that they had already moved to the point where they held hands and called each otherʼs name without feeling uncomfortable.

She abruptly realized that she had failed as a mother-in-law to be this slow.

”Wait! Wait! Iʼll accept her gifts! Weʼll accept her gifts!” Claire then looked at Logan as she urged.

”Of course, it goes without saying!” Logan exclaimed.

Davis stopped and turned to look at his motherʼs cheeky and awkward expression. Of course, he wasnʼt here to ask for their permission. Even if they rejected Princess Isabella, he would still marry her.

But Princess Isabella actually told him that she wanted to face them as their daughter-in-law when he asked for her help to aid his mother in cultivation.

He knew that his mother also wanted to make Princess Isabella his woman as she was the one who had said so, but that was in the past. His mother didnʼt have much hope after his marriage with Evelynn as she felt Princess Isabella be too proud...

Proud enough to not be a second wife.

However, contrary to his motherʼs assumptions, Princess Isabella had actually agreed to become his third wife by agreeing to the marriage.

This came off as an enormous shock to Claire and even to him in the past. That was why he was ecstatic and even had the urge to howl to the heavens.

What Princess Isabella did was something extremely foolish in the eyes of the public as her worth remained enormous; if they knew. To become someoneʼs third wife, even if he were a Young Master of a powerful family from the large Territories, she would still be looked down upon and become pitiful.

Despite that, she still agreed to become his third wife. This was nothing but a sacrifice on her part.

Davis didnʼt know where she got the determination to accept his marriage proposal, but he knew that she would feel anxious in the future, and in recognition of that, he was prepared to face it.

As for his parents being insensitive, he didnʼt blame them as they were in the dark about their current relationship. Currently, what was truly important for him to scheming them into liking Princess Isabella. For that, she has to give them the gifts that would aid them in cultivation.

He moved his hand and gently swung Princess Isabella to the front, giving her a start.

”Go on, give them the gifts you prepared...” Davis encouraged, but inwardly, he laughed.

These three were perhaps the most dazzling geniuses of the Grand Sea Continent, of course, exempting Claire because she was not part of the Grand Sea Continent at that time.

Now, these two were in-laws, and even he found it funny, even extremely hilarious!

Princess Isabella looked back at him with a grievance in her eyes, her gaze seeming to say that she will get back at him for this situation. She gritted her teeth and summoned a spatial ring in her hand.

She then walked forwards and looked at Claire with a gaze that looked hostile, but in reality, she was just embarrassed. She then bowed her head and extended her hand.

”Please accept my gift, mother-in-law...”

In her palm was the spatial ring she had summoned.

While Princess Isabella felt ridiculous at calling a woman extremely near to her age ʼmother-in-law,ʼ Claireʼs eyes flashed as she proudly took the spatial ring from Princess Isabellaʼs grasp.

”I accept, daughter-in-law...”

She uttered in a rather extremely satisfying way.

Princess Isabella could hear the proudness in Claireʼs tone, but since it was reality, she felt that she had to face it. This was also why she requested Davis to let her meet with his parents.

As long as she became his woman, this scenario was unavoidable unless she was intent on not showing her face.

Once the spatial ring was taken away from her, Princess Isabella straightened her back and looked at Logan with killing intent, except she wasnʼt as it was just her glare.

Logan took a step back from nervousness, afraid that he would be sent flying by this abdicated Empress, and looking at her close the distance quickly, he almost experienced a heart attack.

Fortunately, looking at her bow her head and present a spatial ring to him, he became relaxed.

Princess Isabella clenched her teeth and moved her lips, ”Please accept this gift, f-father-in-law...”

Logan didnʼt dare near her and used his soul force to pick up the spatial ring. After that, like Claire, he uttered, ”I accept this gift, dau-”

”Mnm!?”

”!!!”

Logan instantly backed away! He didnʼt want to get pulverized for no reason!

Only after gaining distance did he open his mouth, ”... daughter-in-law...”

Princess Isabella possessed a hint of charm as her lips curved.

This person, Davisʼs father, was supposed to be her rival if she had remained in the Grand Sea Continent. However, that was only if she cleared the lower Sky Grade Trial instead of the King Grade Trial.

She really couldnʼt help but think fate really works in different ways.

To think she would take the decision to marry his son... Ten years ago, she didnʼt even care about the person known as Davis Loret. After all, the last time she saw him was when he was a small brat who was around five years old.

She couldnʼt help but feel nostalgic and surreal at the same time.

ʼHmm... Five years old?ʼ Princess Isabella noticed a point out of the blue when a startled voice echoed.

”What!!?”

Claire abruptly exclaimed.

Everyoneʼs attention moved to her while Logan exclaimed, ”What happened?”

He shot a glance at Princess Isabella in a hostile light, thinking if something happened to Claire...

*Whoosh!~*

He instantly neared Claire and threw the spatial ring away from her grasp as he saw Claire stand frozen like a statue.

Davisʼs figure blinked before he reappeared before its trail and caught the spatial ring.

ʼOops, I couldnʼt have the spatial ring shattering since it is a High-Level Sky Grade Spatial Ring,...ʼ He wryly thought.

Otherwise, the spatial ringʼs contents would empty out into the other space, probably lost forever.

Due to his motherʼs abrupt shout, even he thought something had happened for a moment. If he werenʼt the one who placed the contents in the spatial ring and gave it to Princess Isabella, he really wouldʼve thought that something insidious might have been planted in the spatial ring.

”Quick, sever the connection with the spatial ring!” Logan exclaimed.

However, Claire came out of her reverie and saw herself being held by her husband. She couldnʼt help but feel both heartened and embarrassed.

She extended her hand the next second, and the spatial ring that was in Davisʼs grasp flew back to her as he let it go, feeling that it was being recalled.

Logan became stunned at her actions while Claire giggled like a naughty child.

”Thereʼs nothing harmful in it...” Claire couldnʼt help but smile sheepishly.

”Instead, itʼs literally an intense and heartwarming gift...”

Logan became taken aback.

He looked at her with a confused expression on his face before checking the spatial ring he had been given. He hesitated for a second before binding it with his soul, only to become shocked himself when he checked its contents.

His gift was just... literally shocking!

He speechlessly looked at Davis before he moved his gaze to Princess Isabella, feeling incredibly apologetic. He knew that he shouldnʼt have suspected her, but he honestly didnʼt think about anything other than Claireʼs safety at the heat of the moment.

Princess Isabella blinked. She had sensed an enormous amount of killing intent at the moment when Claire exclaimed, but looking at Loganʼs apologetic gaze, she didnʼt take it to heart as she felt that it was a natural reaction of a man to protect his woman.

She subconsciously glanced at Davis before returning her gaze.

”How are her gifts, father and mother?” Davis asked with a grin on his face.

”Davis, how did you two get these Spirit Attribute Sources from the Alstreim Family?” Claire felt disbelief.
