Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1025 I Won“t Resist...

Now that Nora Alstreim had healed and calmed down from the unexpected humiliation she received, she looked at Claire with a complicated expression on her face, but then she suddenly noticed something she didn’t have the leisure to notice before.

She blinked as she found it incredulous, just like how she found Claire being still alive incredulous. Pursing her lips, she refrained from asking about these two’s close relationship these two had because she could finally a semblance between their faces.

But since she had only one chance and knew what’s important for her, she took a deep breath and opened her mouth.

"Claire... I understand that you have come back for revenge, but my grandpa and grandma aren’t bad people. Please give them a chance to prove themselves..."

"Prove? Prove what?" Claire possessed an amused expression on her face.

How were they not bad people when they were the underlying reason for the death of her mother?

Nora Alstreim could see that it was difficult to convince, perhaps hopeless just by looking at the other party’s expression, but she didn’t give up, "Weiss Alstreim had been just manipulating grandma all this time, giving him an unfair advantage over every people he had enmity with, including your father but fortunately, with the Aqua Flood Dragon’s incident, we four managed to find out his true colors and ousted him."

"Therefore, I have no qualms about you killing him but-"

Davis suddenly smiled, "The Ancestor already spoke to us about that. Our first target was Weiss Alstreim, but you just had to walk into our place... You wouldn’t have experienced this humiliation if you did not approach us the first place as we would’ve shortly known about Immeth Alstreim’s true colors."

Nora Alstreim merely blinked at his provocative statement.

"No, it’s fine this way as I still have a chance to convince Claire..."

Davis frowned, ’What a strong-willed woman...’

She thought it was fine to face all this humiliation just to save her family?

He was rather astonished that she hadn’t helplessly fallen into a quagmire of hatred yet from the reveal of the recent betrayal. Perhaps, it was because her close ones were in danger that she could keep herself calm?

But also because of that, wouldn’t she turn into a vengeful person if they killed Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim and Grand Elder Elise Alstreim?

Davis’s fingers twitched as a bit of tiny killing intent flashed past his eyes.

Even though it was a bit dangerous to keep her alive, the only reason he didn’t still make a move was that she could not do anything against them even with her current cultivation base.

She was helpless as a cornered beast in front of them, but that was precisely his worry because a cornered beast would counterattack in an unexpected way.

Nora Alstreim didn’t think much and continued, "As I was saying, I have no qualms about that bastard Weiss dying, but I have plenty of misgivings about you trying to kill Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim and Grand Elder Elise Alstreim for revenge."

"I admit that they have done many things that have caused people to die, but don’t we all do it at one point to ensure the survival of our family? Those being done in by us had something done to us, and we merely retaliated. The only blunder that they committed is aiding Weiss Alstreim to become the Young Master of the Family."

"I already told you, Nora." Claire didn’t seem to be moved whatsoever, "Without their help, Weiss Alstreim couldn’t have-"

"I understand, Claire..." Nora Alstreim interrupted, "That is why I’m trying to say that I’ll atone for their wrongs."

Claire became taken aback. She stared at Nora Alstreim’s solemn expression before narrowed her eyes, "How?"

"You have the advantage over my soul sea even now as I am still suppressed..." Nora Alstreim’s lips started to quiver, "... If you try to place a slave seal on me, I w-won’t resist..."

Claire’s eyes inevitably widened into two saucers! Her pupils reflected Nora Alstreim’s trembling body and her expression that seemed humiliated and helpless.

"I... I’ll b-become your soul s-slave for a hun- no! Th-thousand years...!"

Davis and Claire, both of them became shocked that they slightly reacted to her statement!

There were no threats? There were no echoes of arrogance... that they were the stronger party and had no need to listen to their words?

Nora Alstreim straightaway surrendered? It shouldn’t be... unless she arrived at the conclusion that they had already been cornered!

Indeed, Nora Alstreim already figured out that they were completely cornered! With the Ancestor on Claire’s side, there was no need for her to consider whether if they would be saved or not! Due to her prejudice against the Ancestor, she knew for a fact that she and her family would not be saved!

Even though it should be mainly for the transgressions they have committed over the happenings of internal affairs, she knew that it had accumulated to a point where it became a deeply punishable offense! Therefore, instead of relying on someone else, she chose to use herself!

"You? A slave?" Claire’s expression slowly changed from shock to one of anger, "When did you become so weak that you have even dared to sell yourself!?"

"What about your grand ambition to become an Immortal!? When have you fallen so low!?"

"You!" Nora Alstreim trembled from shame before her lips yelled, "Isn’t it all because of you!? If only you hadn’t returned alive, I wouldn’t have a need to do this instead of fighting to the death!"

Claire raised her hand in anger, about to slap again, but she stopped as her expression changed, "What did you say?"

"Claire..." Nora Alstreim bit her lips as it quivered, "Were we just rivals... from opposing families?"

Claire’s expression trembled before she dropped her raised hand and stood up before turning back.

Surprisingly enough, Davis could sense complicated emotions, swirling that they had their own history with each other. He felt that it was safe to say that their friendly emotions towards each other were mutual before they got trapped in Immeth Alstreim’s scheme.

No wonder Claire felt so betrayed that she came to possess a personal vendetta against Nora Alstreim, one that didn’t let them live under the same sky but now that it was clear that Nora Alstreim was innocent, their previous emotions for each other became apparent.

"Sorry... I can’t return to the past, nor do I have the forgiving heart to do anything about it..."

"They... will have to PAY!" Claire clenched her teeth and uttered before she strode forwards towards the door.

"No! Please wait! Claire!" Nora Alstreim tried to stand up, but the shackles wouldn’t let her go no matter how she struggled, "I’ll do anything! I’ll become your slave till I die!"

"Don’t do this to me!~"

Claire suddenly stopped as she heard her cries, but she didn’t turn back, "I’ll have to apologize again because until I get my revenge, I will not let you out. Davis, I’m sorry to burden you but seal this place as you see fit..."

Without even waiting for a reply, she hurriedly strode forwards and exited the room.

"No!~ Don’t go!~~~" Nora Alstreim screamed while her tone almost became one of begging.

She fell to her knees again and lowered her head as her arms were hung by the shackles. Amidst her disheveled hair that blocked her entire expression, tears trickled down her face as it hit the ground, making her figure seem more desolate than ever.
