Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1011 I“ll Give You A Chance

"I have none."

Nora Alstreim said with a stoic expression, trying hard not to blush in embarrassment. She knew that she had nothing to convince the other party.

Thinking back, she couldn’t help but think what would’ve taken place if she handed over the Water-Attributed Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Source as a tribute...

Would she perhaps be taken as a favored subordinate and heavily nurtured?

No... the chances are that she would be killed, and this mysterious power would invade them to get the Water-Attributed Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Source.

"Mhm..." Princess Isabella sounded hesitant, "Honesty is something I prefer, but it wouldn’t earn you the seat of subordination."

Nora Alstreim panicked a bit as she understood that there was no such as free lunch in the world. She considered her connections and saw if she could somehow make the Dragon Queen satisfied. Thinking for a few seconds, she opened her mouth.

"I have nothing but my grandfather, who supports me, and he has a Mid-Level Emperor Grade Armament with him. I am sure-"

"Hahaha!" Davis suddenly laughed before he turned to look back, "Really? Relying on your grandfather to work your way through anything? As everyone says,... you are amusing..."

"Alchemist Davis!" Nora Alstreim clenched her teeth with both an irritated and aggrieved expression, "You misunderstand everything!"

"Yes, I have misunderstood." Davis nodded his head and shrugged before he turned back.

Nora Alstreim became taken aback, wondering why he became understanding all of a sudden.

"Mhm? A Mid-Level Emperor Grade Armament?" Princess Isabella chuckled as she cast a look back, "Pushing aside whether or not your grandfather would give such a treasure to you to hand it over to me, you have personally disappointed me, Nora Alstreim."

"I am looking for talents with a promising character, not for talents who bribe their way through."

She turned her head back towards the front as she kept walking without voicing out her opinion anymore.

Nora Alstreim’s expression became dull. She became depressed as she instantly knew that she had ruined her own chances! She felt that she should have never brought up her grandfather in this situation and should’ve thought of something else!

However, no matter how she thought, she failed to think of something convincing!

Soon, they reached the hall as they walked out of the corridor.

Princess Isabella arrived at the center of the hall and gracefully turned to look at the desolate Nora Alstreim.

"Nevertheless, I would still like to give you a chance as your talent is not bad in this backward Territory. You just lack the high-grade resources I obtain in mine."

Nora Alstreim’s blank expression changed. It looked as if she saw a bright light of hope in the dark tunnel she was walking in without any kind of help to rely on, making it so that an unsuspecting smile hung on her lips.

"What do I have to do!?" She quickly asked with a bit of excitement, flourishing in her voice.

It was unthinkable for her that she still had a chance as she felt that she had just lost it a while ago,

"It’s simple, really..." Princess Isabella smiled, "All you have to do is prove yourself to me that you are a promising character, a talent who is worthy of becoming my subordinate before I leave the Alstreim Family."

’That’s all?’ Nora Alstreim became flabbergasted.

She had the confidence to prove that her talent wasn’t just what she displayed in the beginning when she battled Logan. She had put off her Body Tempering Cultivation to a slight degree and slacked off in her Soul Forging Cultivation due to her duties as the Young Mistress, so she mused that she could display that she is also a talent who could achieve tri-cultivation in a mere few years with hard work!

Nevertheless, she noticed a time limit and asked, "Dragon Queen, when are you going to leave?"

"Who knows? Perhaps, two, three months or a year. I’ll leave when I get bored." Princess Isabella nonchalantly answered.

’So the minimum time limit is two months... That’s extremely challenging...’ Nora Alstreim mused, but she also became a bit envious of the leisure and the indifferent attitude the Dragon Queen had towards her.

Who was she!? She is the Young Mistress of the Grand Alstreim Family! A hegemon of a Territory!

She had this kind of unapproachable attitude with her most of the time in the past towards most people, and that might explain why people didn’t like her and actively spread rumors as soon as her standing and influence decreased because of the Aqua Flood Dragon’s calamity.

Regardless, she nodded her head and clasped her hands as she bowed ninety degrees with immense respect.

"I thank the Dragon Queen for giving me this opportunity. I’ll do my best to prove myself within this time!"

"Not so fast..."

Nora Alstreim’s expression changed as she raised her head in confusion, ’There’s still more?’

"Since you’ll obviously be staying here to prove myself, I don’t want anyone disturbing me using you as a reason. Inform your family members that you are in the Purple Guest Palace to prove yourself to me and can’t come out until the Dragon Queen leaves the Alstreim Family."

Nora Alstreim inwardly heaved a sigh, ’So that was it...’

She nodded with a smile, thinking that the Dragon Queen was truly thoughtful and gentle when she was not hostile.

Usually, masters wouldn’t even allow subordinates to inform in the beginning but make them suffer initially to make them learn of their rightful place!

The Dragon Queen didn’t do such a thing to her but allowed her to inform her family so that they would not be worried about her.

Perhaps, this decision to join the Dragon Queen’s power was going to be fruitful after all?

Nora Alstreim couldn’t help but think in an excited manner. She was actually looking forward to what would happen in these upcoming months.

Perhaps, she would even get to see Logan...?

Nora Alstreim instantly shook her head as she came out of her reverie, but she instantly froze, looking at the Dragon Queen possess an unamused expression on her face.

"Do it now!"

"Yes!"

Nora Alstreim walked to a corner and took out a messaging talisman before she activated it.

"Grandpa?"

"Nora! I heard! How are you doing!? Are you fine!?"

Hearing the number of questions blasted at her, Nora Alstreim felt warm at heart. Her rosy lips couldn’t help but widen into a smile as she could tell that her grandpa was going to console her from the failure in the Alchemy Exchange.

"I’m fine..."

"I see, but even if you’re depressed, don’t be. There is no way to win against a prodigy like Alchemist Davis. Elise said that she is fine without that breakthrough pill, so make sure that you don’t offend them."

"Even if she badly needs it, you shouldn’t offend them. They are our benefactors."

" I know..." Nora Alstreim blushed in embarrassment.

Although she moved to a corner, she knew that they still could hear what they were talking about.

"Grandpa, just listen..." Nora Alstreim then explained.

"What!? You’re in the Purple Guest Palace, trying to become one of the Dragon Queen’s subordinate!?" A shocked voice came from the other end of the messaging talisman!
