Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1447 - Loret Empress Sheds Tears

Claire lovingly held her daughter, trembling with love and affection.

Logan also walked forwards and wrapped his arms around his wife and daughter, holding them dearly. No matter what, this child was his first daughter who made him feel like a father because Davis was already a grown-up whom he couldnʼt teach anything even if he wanted to, although they had their fair share of bonding moments.

However, whether Clara listened to him or her brother was entirely a different story.

Davis, who was in the middle of the group, looked at his little sister as he smiled widely like an idiot. He was heartened to see that his little sister hadnʼt become colder than ice as he feared.

Looking at Clara shed tears in her parentsʼ embrace, it seemed that her emotional quotient had improved a lot from the time they left her?

No, she was already emotional, but she displayed it to only a select few, with him mostly, but after her father and mother left, it seemed like she truly missed them from the bottom of her heart.

Separation makes people understand the true value of the ones who left.

Clara suddenly separated from them and walked off with her head lowered. She suddenly pounced towards Davis and embraced, simply holding him as she trembled.

Davis was taken aback, but he smiled and embraced her back as he rubbed her head, running his fingers through her silky blonde hair as he consoled her.

”Although it took us some time, we are back, Clara.”

”Mhm~”

Clara hummed as she buried her face on her brotherʼs c.h.e.s.t. She actually felt embarrassed to have cried in front of everybody.

What age was she? She was just four years younger than Davis, around twenty-one, not to mention that she is the current reigning Empress.

She didnʼt expect to break down crying upon seeing them lined up with smiles on their faces. For her, their presence was totally unexpected that they caught her off-guard, making her uncontrollably shed tears, which she felt wasnʼt possible until now.

Logan and Claire still had wide smiles on their faces while they looked like they had teared up themselves. Looking at Clara, who was safe and seemed to be doing well, they felt glad couldnʼt wait to see their two other children.

It was half a minute before Clara regained herself. She had already wiped her tears on her brotherʼs robes before she raised her head, looking at him from a close angle as she removed her white veil.

”I apologize, brother. I didnʼt mean to-”

”Ah, donʼt worry.”

Davisʼs eyes lit up as he saw her otherworldly beauty as well as her moist purple eyes. She was just as fine as Isabella and Shirley, perhaps more, but maybe it might be his perspective, his bias siding with his Clara because she was his little sister.

Only then did he suddenly recall that he was embracing a grown woman, even though she may be his sister. Abruptly, the feeling of her bosoms hitting against him became eerily noticeable at this moment that he couldnʼt help but inwardly scream.

His little sister was no longer little or a teenager!!!

He slightly moved her a bit away from him and laughed.

”Ahaha! Clara, look at you! You have grown into a fine woman while we were away...!”

Claraʼs expression became filled with a blush as she bit her pink lips. There was also a rare smile on her face, which made Hendrickson feel like he had seen a ghost.

Their Empress could actually smile?

Many people had already told Clara how beautiful she was, and that was the point of her wearing a veil as she already found it annoying, not to mention to protect herself from strange looks. Nevertheless, receiving the same praise from her brother, she felt like it was the best, making her feel heartened like never before!

”Indeed,” Claireʼs voice resounded, ”She is my daughter, after all.”

”No, itʼs because of me. Iʼm handsome mysel- geh-”

Logan narcissistically chuckled before he got punched in the stomach by Claire, who smiled widely in fun.

Everyone couldnʼt help but laugh at their antics while Logan pursed his lips, l.e.w.dly thinking that he will collect this debt in the bed. At this point, it was basically a routine for them, which made their life joyous than one might think.

Claire noticed his eyes and couldnʼt help but turn shy as she looked away.

”Clara~”

At this moment, Evelynnʼs voice resounded as she extended her arms.

Claraʼs gaze fell on the big-bosomed woman before she left Davis and flew into her embrace.

Evelynn became abnormally happy that this cold little sister would entertain her wishes that she couldnʼt help but tightly embrace her before she let her go. Clara was just so cute to her eyes, even if she had grown up.

Clara then looked around, looking at the people who were unfamiliar to her. Nadia and Eldia had gotten back into Davisʼs body, so they werenʼt present. However, Clara could instantly spot a person who looked familiar that her lips couldnʼt help but turn into a smile.

”Grandfather Edgar, Iʼm glad to see that youʼre well, and... your cultivation is no longer crippled...?”

Clara blinked, feeling ridiculous as her voice turned questionable in the end.

Didnʼt her mother say that her fatherʼs cultivation was crippled? How could he have his Essence Gathering Cultivation undulations then?

Edgar Alstreim couldnʼt help but feel moved that she would recognize him.

”Your brother is one of a kind where it wouldnʼt be an exaggeration to call him a miracle healer.”

Claraʼs eyes lit up as she found no lies in that statement. She looked at her brother, wondering why he hadnʼt mentioned such a thing to her in the letter that Isabella carried before she saw him raise his brows with a smug look on his face.

She instantly understood that he wanted to surprise her.

”Miracle healer? That makes me want to hear more, but...”

Clara took her gaze from her brother and saw the two women beside her grandfather.

”So you two are my grandmother and aunt...”

Lia Alstreim smilingly nodded her head while Tia Alstreim looked awed by this niece. Clara cried, making it seem like she was a sweet girl, but the tone of her voice and her bearing instantly changed their perspectives that Tia couldnʼt help but want to ask so as not to offend.

”Should I call you niece or big sister like I call Davis my big brother?”

Claraʼs eyes lit up before she lightly smiled, ”You can call me big sister if you like.”

Tia Alstreimʼs eyes lit up as she smiled, ”Alright, big sister...”

She felt that her life here is going to be fun.

Davis saw that Clara was highly receptive to them. He inwardly nodded to her behavior, but when he saw her gaze fall on his two other women, his expression froze.

ʼPlease accept them! Please accept them...!ʼ

He inwardly chanted.

So far, she hadnʼt said anything to him about his behavior, but she might have a beef with them!

”You two...” Clara narrowed her eyes as her voice became cold, ”Whoʼs Natalya?”

Fioraʼs heart couldnʼt help but clench from the pressure, while Natalya couldnʼt help but blink. This little sisterʼs voice was so imposing like that of a ruler that she couldnʼt believe that this was Davisʼs little sister. Nevertheless, she spoke up.

”I am Natalya, sister-in-law...”

”So it is you who seduced my brother...” Claraʼs eyes narrowed even more.

”Tell me your true intent in wanting to be with my brother...”

An invisible law escaped from Claraʼs moving lips as it embodied within the air before it entered Natalya, making her subconsciously move her lips.

”Because I love him more than anything in this world and want to give birth to our ch-”

Natalyaʼs expression went red as she shut her mouth with her palm, realizing that something made her forcefully talk as her eyes went wide. She couldnʼt understand, but even while she was about to reply, it was as if something implied or strongly weighed on her to do so.

Claraʼs cold expression faded, replaced with a heartened smile.

”Seems like brotherʼs eyes have not lost their sharpness...”

However, a sudden bonk arrived on her head, making her turn to look at the source.

”How rude, Clara. You canʼt use your Mandate Laws on your sister-in-law like that.”

Claire appeared reproachful as she berated Clara, who then blinked as the knock over her head really didnʼt hurt.

”Mandate Laws?” She instead became focused on that strange term she heard.

”Asking questions is fine, but you cannot do as you please with your powers like that, understand?” Claire did not answer and still berated.

Clara nodded, feeling good to be reprimanded. She missed her motherʼs voice that made her feel like she was at home.

”Mandate Laws, the power of a ruler, the power of words...”

Davisʼs voice echoed at this moment, making everyoneʼs attention swivel towards him while Logan and Claire were not particularly bothered.

Indeed, he was the one who told his parents about Claraʼs Transcendent Truth Eyes. They were extremely heartened to hear, but seeing her using it on Natalya to get the truth out, it seemed that they were a bit disappointed. Although they could see that she cared about her big brother, it was not her place to investigate as the little sister, at least, not on the first meeting.

”Clara, in the First Layer, thereʼs a peak power called the Heaven Mandate Temple, and apparently, they use the same Mandate Laws, which you are able to easily comprehend with your unique constitution.”

”When you speak using this invisible law, your words turn into something substantial will that compels people to do your bidding. You can control people as you see fit, like a ruler ushering a mandate to the masses. Thatʼs why it is called Mandate Laws, depicting itself as similar to a heavenly will, hence also the name for that peak power, Heaven Mandate Temple.”

Claraʼs eyes lit up as she felt that this day was full of surprises. She finally learned the name for her power, making her feel like she had made progress in working on her powers. It always felt elusive to her, but with her brother naming it and explaining it to her, she combined all her knowledge of it under the name of Mandate Laws.

”Bzzz!~*

At this moment, Claraʼs eyes shone before she closed her eyes as the heaven and earth energy surrounding her began to tremble as if resonating. The air around her suddenly became filled with transparent incomprehensible runes that looked like they belonged to the Sky Word Language yet not!

Many blinked as they were stunned.

Wasnʼt this the sign of resonance from the heaven and earth energy when one broke through in comprehending an intent of a law?

Abruptly, the incomprehensible runes that were near-transparent shot towards Clara and entered her before the resonation faded.

Clara opened her eyes, a slight smile hanging on her lips.

”I think Iʼm just a little away from breaking into the Law Dominion Stage and congealing two Perfect Domains, brother...”

”Perfect!”

Davis gave her a thumbs-up as he praised while everyone else became...

”...”

... dumbfounded by these two monsters.
