Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1010 Unknowingly Walking Into The Lion“s Den

”Does young miss fancy Alchemist Davis?” Yahu straightforwardly asked.

Dalila Leehanʼs expression froze as she recalled the imaginary situation she has created in her mind. She tried to chuckle it off with a normal demeanor.

”It isnʼt as if I donʼt completely fancy him... I have to admit that there were a few moments where my heartstrings were disrupted, but there were also times that I found him hateful.”

”I see... It is a pity then...” Yahu suspiciously eyed his young miss, ”I felt that if young miss seduces and further manages to recruit Alchemist Davis into the Thousand Pill Palace, then it is of little doubt that young missʼs status would skyrocket, and your influence would tremendously increase. Moreover, even if you fail to recruit, it is of little doubt that your father would wholeheartedly and instantly agree to-”

”Yahu! Enough!”

”I have said too much. Forgive this lowly Protector, young miss.” Yahu bowed as if he was sorry.

Dalila Leehan possessed a face full of anger but hidden behind it was shade full of embarrassment. The more Yahu indirectly advised her to follow in Nora Alstreimʼs footsteps, the more she found it agreeable in her mind!

ʼSince a person of a significant status like hers is doing it, then why not me?ʼ

However, she found such thoughts abhorrent and shameless!

Nevertheless, she wasnʼt truly angered at Yahu as she knew that he was just looking after her and her future, just like her mother would do but in his own way.

Which ambitious woman wouldnʼt want a capable man as her husband? Except, the other party was overly capable and already had wives that she found herself stumped to take the initiative.

”Weʼre leaving!”

Dalila Leehan shook these thoughts out of her head and took into the skies before a flying boat appeared. Soon, both of them left the Pill Arena and headed towards one of the many exits of the Alstreim Family.

======

A woman dressed in white robes traversed and flashed through the air in the skies of the Grand Alstreim City.

ʼPlease let me make it on time before they close up like they always do...ʼ

She inwardly prayed to the heavens as she zoomed in at faster speeds, her feet clad in crimson flames. Each step she took made the air around her reverberate as flames sprang under her. She gathered some attention from the surroundings, but it quickly died down as it was common to see people practicing their movement techniques all the time.

Soon, she arrived at a certain location and saw that the two people she had chased all the way had just stepped into the Purple Guest Palace.

Her expression brightened before she flew faster one last time before she landed on the top floor, the eighteenth floor. She stood up as she heaved in a deep breath and noticed the two of them turn to look at her with curious expressions on their faces.

”Young Mistress of the Alstreim Family, for what reason have you followed us all the way till here?”

Davis asked as he possessed a curious expression on his face, but he was also inwardly annoyed since he was in the mood to tease Isabella till she pleaded for mercy. He mused that he needed to display who he is once in a while or would be truly taken for a subordinate.

ʼYes, I need to discipline her later...ʼ He lewdly thought before he concentrated on the unexpected guest.

After all, this woman never visited again after her heart was broken just at the floor below.

Nora Alstreim became panic-stricken as she felt her face burn up, but she controlled herself and took a deep breath once again. She took a step forward and echoed with all her might.

”I want to become your subordinate, Dragon Queen!”

Davis and Princess Isabella became stunned! However, neither possessed much of a difference in their expressions other than slightly widening their eyes as if they were surprised a bit.

Davis was truly taken aback.

Maybe Nora Alstreim thought she could become strong by subordinating herself to the Dragon Queen?

Perhaps his performance had changed her mind from initially being antagonistic to finally accepting the fact that she is inferior to the Dragon Queen?

After all, everyone subordinated so far to the Dragon Queen seemed to be or become exceptional!

Princess Isabella suddenly laughed, ”Do you know what youʼre saying? Becoming my subordinate means leaving the Alstreim Family. It can be considered an act of betrayal.”

She possessed an amused expression on her face.

Nora Alstreim clenched her fists, her expression becoming a bit sorrowful, ”I am aware. I tried... and tried, but no one seems to like me being here, so Iʼm sure that the Alstreim Family would more than welcome sending me off somewhere.”

”So, you decided that somewhere to be me?”

Nora Alstreim gave a heavy nod of her head.

Princess Isabella blinked as she suddenly received a soul transmission. There was a slight pause before she moved her rosy lips, ”Follow me.”

She turned back and headed inside while Davis also followed her, his lips slowly turning into an imperceptible curve.

Nora Alstreim became a bit taken aback, wondering if she was accepted or not before taking a step forward and following them.

She pursued them into the pathway while she still possessed a few ounces of hesitation within her. She didnʼt know if her decision was right, but decided that this should be for the best if she ever wanted to realize even a bit of her ambition!

In any case, once she increased her cultivation and entered the peak of the Seventh Stage, she needed to get experience in the mid-sized Territories, and if she was a bit daring, could even enter the large-sized Territories to gain experience. Many Young Masters and Young Mistresses had died while tempering themselves outside, so she mused that it might be to her massive advantage if she possessed a strong backing from the start.

Of course, she was also aware that siding with a grand character like the Dragon Queen would have its own consequences as she could be used as a meat shield or a human cauldron anytime to fulfill the Dragon Queenʼs purpose.

At that time, she would have no choice but to resolve herself to fate, but although she was reluctant, she already had two plans in mind. Although one of the plans was a bit naive, she mused that the Dragon Queen would take care of her well if she swore absolute loyalty through a law-heart oath.

After all, the fact that the Dragon Queen treats her subordinates well remained true so far, as far as she could see!

Princess Isabella walked, her footsteps instilling an overbearing effect on Nora Alstreim. She had her face looking towards the front as she opened her mouth.

”You do realize that you do not meet my standards, donʼt you?”

Nora Alstreimʼs expression scrunched up into one of reluctance, but she still nodded her head as she looked at the Dragon Queenʼs noble walk.

”I am aware.”

”If you understand, what makes you think that I will take you in as my subordinate?”

Nora Alstreim pursed her lips before she weighed her wealth or status, but nothing seemed to be of help in front of the elusive and mighty Dragon Queen.

After a few seconds, she muttered in a low voice...
