Divine Emperor of Death

The disturbance that inhibited them from seeking answers quickly closed in before its silhouette became visible. Almost all the people were able to identify the newcomer, who was none other than Havle Alstreim, the Envoy of the Alstreim Family!

"Lord Envoy! it's just as you said. Senior has been extremely helpful in completely subduing this person who stirred up trouble with the Conferred Queen!"

"We suspect this soul body enslaved just now by Senior might be the mastermind who pushed the Second Prince into investigating the Conferred Queen and even going as far as to force the Second Prince to self-destruct through some methods..."

The two subordinates yelled respectively as they saw Havle Alstreim quickly near them.

Havle Alstreim finally arrived in a flash with his robes fluttering from the breeze. He stepped on the air as he steadied himself and clasped his hand towards Davis, floating beside them.

"We have failed to protect Conferred Queen Isabella... For this matter, I deeply apologize!"

His gaze looked sincere but Davis did not buy that expression at face value. The envoy certainly knew where to place the words 'Astreim Family' and 'I' in his sentences, taking the blame on himself for this matter but to Davis, it came off as nothing but a farce spoken at face value.

He inwardly shrugged and didn't bother with them anymore as he was only interested in answers. He looked at this new slave of his who dared to plot against him... or more importantly; his future third wife!

"Algos Yantra... What's your background?"

The soul body's lips twitched, "Flowing Mist Sect..."

Abruptly, silence encased the region as everyone suddenly couldn't help but hold their breaths.

The next second...

"Woah!!!"

Clamour instantly erupted within the area before the people forming an audience around them spoke in hushed stones.

Davis narrowed his eyes, 'Isn't the Flowing Mist Sect a hegemon of another Territory just like the Alstreim Family? What are they doing here?"

The faces of the two subordinates changed as they finally recalled a certain matter deep within their memories.

"Algos Yantra... Flowing Mist Sect..."

"Isn't the Yantra Family one of the three prominent families in the Flowing Mist Sect!?"

"Yes..." Havle Alstreim narrowed his eyes in scrutiny.

"What is the Flowing Mist Sect doing in our Territory?" He almost growled.

However, the reply he should've received didn't come from Algos Yantra's soul body.

"Since he's my slave, he wouldn't answer you..."

Havle Alstreim relaxed his expression and answered, "Yes... Can I have the privilege to investigate this interloper?"

The two subordinates who witnessed the previous event were about to interject but they didn't their Lord Envoy would quickly ask. Their expressions instantly waned!

"You might want to ask Kaiser Ethren about that since he requested the same... only to have him wait. In the meantime, you two can decide who will go first after I finish investigating my slave..."

Davis spoke in a deep voice as he pulled in Emperor Kaiser Ethren to be a scapegoat.

Emperor Kaiser Ethren didn't even fight as he smiled, "Of course, I'll ask questions after Lord Envoy finishes his questioning, after all, since the Flowing Mist Sect has entered this Territory, this matter has already been taken out of my jurisdiction."

Havle Alstreim satisfactorily nodded his head and looked back at the soul body in scrutiny. For such a person with a strong Soul Forging Cultivation to have entered, he was sure that this person had a Mid or High-Level Eighth Stage Cultivation.

"..."

Emperor Kaiser Ethren didn't care about the disapproved gazes of the Royal Protectors. He was going to step down as the Emperor in two months so what was he going to do offending the people he shouldn't offend?

He cast a daring glance back at the Royal Protectors buy they just seemed to cast away their gazes back to the mysterious expert.

"Are you the one who ordered the Second Prince to investigate the Conferred Queen?" Davis's deep voice echoed.

"Yes..."

"!!!~"

Amidst the clamor, Davis continued.

"Why exactly?"

"I wanted the Second Prince to investigate the Conferred Queen as I wanted to know about her background at first... I later wanted to use the Second Prince by having him frame the Third Prince to offend Conferred Queen so as to attract her power to lay havoc to the Ethren Empire..."

"With this... The Alstreim Family will have no choice but to be shamed and weakened..."

"!!!~"

Havle Alstreim's expression changed as he looked towards Emperor Kaiser Ethren.

"What is this!?"

"This... I don't know!" Emperor Kaiser Ethren claimed as he widened his eyes.

Even he became angered as he heard the sentence about laying havoc to the Ethren Empire but where should he go display his anger?

On his second son?

Keith Ethren is dead!

The Third Prince, Alexi Ethren just blinked once as he heard that it was his second brother who tried to frame him. He knew that it should be the case but somewhere in his heart, he didn't want it to be the case as his second brother seemed to have self-destructed for the greater good.

But now, with this is irrevocable proof, that little bit of hope was discarded and only hatred was left within him.

'Second brother... You are just like father...' He inwardly sighed but didn't even feel an ounce of pity.

"Oh... You wanted to attract our power? Hmph!" Davis harrumphed.

He made a move of wanting to kill him as soul undulations flared.

Realizing his intent, the others all yelled in haste.

"No!"

"Senior!"

"Don't do it!"

Havle Alstreim also widened his eyes as he shouted!

As if being calmed by all those yells, Davis lowered his hand. His chest heaved as if he were suppressing enormous discontent.

"I understand that senior is exasperated and angered but it is also the same for us. He has targeted both the Conferred Queen and the Alstreim Family."

"I hope to have your understanding in this matter as this could be seemingly larger than what we currently know..."

Havle Alstreim spoke as he sincerely clasped his hand, trying to convey his intent. The others also echoed as they pleaded along these lines, begging him to not be angered.

After all, the soul body's life lay within Davis's hands! They all perfectly understood this point as well.

Davis waved his hand with the demeanor of an expert and spoke, "It is obvious that the Flowing Mist Sect wants to do something in this territory. If not, it should be Algos Yantra's individual scheming spree..."

"As for whatever it is, we'll know soon that if the mastermind is Algos Yantra alone or the Flowing Mist Sect but Havle Alstreim, are you sure that you want all these people to listen? What if someone is a spy or a helper to Algos Yantra?"

Havle Alstreim became taken aback as he looked around. Suddenly, he felt as if someone could be secretly observing their actions, only to relay it to the Flowing Mist Sect later.

He narrowed his eyes and wanted to expel them from this place but expelling the Ethren Royal Family members from their own place, even he felt it to be going overboard.

"Other than two Royal Protectors, Kaiser Ethren and the Alstreim Family, I want all of you out of here..." Davis calmly spoke in a deep voice, even removing the First Prince and the Third Prince out of the equation.

Havle Alstreim's eyes flashed with content as he echoed the same.

Since it was senior's words... who would dare to say otherwise on top of his own words!?

Gazes of discontent shot towards Davis and all stood in silence for a few seconds.

"What are you people still here for? Isn't your representative, the Emperor here for the questioning along with two Royal Protectors!? It isn't as if we are looking at a woman dance!"

It was none other than from Havle Alstreim again. At this point, he felt angered by the lack of reaction from the Ethren Family.
