Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1024 Helplessness

Nora Alstreim's expression fell!

That's right... It just wasn't possible without a Grand Elder's help, especially a Grand Elder who possessed major influence over the internal affairs at that time! Even she felt that it could only be her grandfather, Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim, who could've possibly suppressed the investigation of Claire's death.

But she also quickly recalled!

"It was because he had thought I was the one who did this! They intentionally and ingeniously made it my fault! Didn't Zeno Alstreim say so himself that he convinced Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim that it was my doing?"

"Indeed, but the fact that he suppressed remains, and the wrong still lies with your grandfather. Why is there a need for me to spare him when he is also the one who suppressed my father's rise to glory while being the Young Master and also a reason for the death of my mother?"

Nora Alstreim went increasingly pale, "... It was Weiss..."

"Are you going to deny that Grand Elder Elise Alstreim and Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim didn't have any part in it!?" Claire became angered!

Nora Alstreim trembled as her eyes became moist.

Her hatred against Weiss Alstreim, that trash... soared by a million times, but she was helpless to do anything about it in the past. At that time, when Weiss Alstreim used Grand Elder Elise Alstreim's authority to move unabated, she was nothing but a baby like Claire.

What could she have done at the point in time? She wasn't even acquainted with Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim at that time as she was just one out of many, many descendants.

Davis inwardly sighed. This was also why he initially considered killing Nora Alstreim. Even if she wasn't at fault and was innocent, they would still have to kill her because a seed of hatred would be left out unchecked after they killed the Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim and the others.

These people closely cared about each other, and if any one of them were killed, it was justified and obvious that they would come seeking revenge.

Nora Alstreim looked as if she was on the brink of death, hanging on the precipice of a cliff. Her expression trembled as she daringly raised her head, "You already humiliated me a thousandfold by doing this to me, but you can't listen to one of my requests, Claire?"

Although her expression said otherwise, her tone was one of pleading.

Claire stared at Nora Alstreim as she frowned. To be truthful, she felt distressed and remorseful of what she did to Nora Alstreim. Slapping her twice till she bled, invading her soul sea while cruelly suppressing her from being able to retaliate and further wrecking her face till it became of what even an ugly man wouldn't spare a glance... Claire truly felt conscience-stricken.

However, after coming this far, she was initially prepared to shed blood, whether it be hers or people unrelated to her quest for revenge, but because of her son and his ingenious schemes to use the Alstreim Family's lack of information about large Territories to their advantage, making Princess Isabella a Young Mistress from a mysterious powerhouse, everything went almost smoothly that even she felt that it was a dream, making her stay true to her character.

The reason she made it this far was due to her son, and so couldn't help but look at her son for further instructions as she was lost about what to do with Nora Alstreim. If he was intent on killing her for the third time, then... she decided that she would do it herself!

Davis kept staring at his mother's purple eyes and sighed before a pill appeared in his hand. He gave it to his mother, "It's a Low-Level King Grade Healing Pill..."

Claire became taken aback, thinking that he misunderstood her intent. However, she didn't reject it as Davis's intent became more clear to her.

Nora Alstreim's miserable and battered face that brought her joy and satisfaction now made her feel guilty of herself, so she didn't deny and grasped the tiny pill with a grateful nod of her head and arrived before Nora Alstreim.

She sunk to her level and extended her hand towards her but didn't say anything.

Nora Alstreim hesitated only for a single second before she took that pill with a swipe of her hand and swallowed it while the sounds of the chains hitting against each other rattled their ears. As the Young Mistress, she had two of these pills in her own spatial ring, but it was taken away by Claire.

But Claire couldn't use the spatial ring without severing the blood connection she possessed with the spatial ring, and she mused that Claire didn't so because she knew that it would further harm her, which begs the intent of Claire into question.

Besides, she didn't ask back for the spatial ring and spatial belt because she knew that it wouldn't be given back in this situation. She only had one chance for a request, and all she knew was that she couldn't waste it.

Soon, there were visible changes on her face as she quickly began to heal. Her eyes that were swollen returned to normal, her nose that had become slightly crooked and broken returned back to her initial sharp nose while her lips completely healed back, becoming rosy again. Even the teeth that she lost quickly started growing back as if it were never missing before.

The internal damage that she received also began to heal at a rapid rate.

Davis stared at her face quickly become beautiful again as if she was a creepy caterpillar that became a butterfly, but only her pure white robes were left bloodied, making her look as if she just helplessly ran out from a bloody murder but got caught in the end.

He never thought there would be a quick use for the pill he won in the Alchemy Exchange. The reason why he gave that pill was that he didn't want his mother to feel guilt over Nora Alstreim's disfigured face. Besides, even he felt bad after knowing that she was innocent in his mother's quest for revenge.

Of course, if it was really required, he wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice this innocent, but he didn't for the time being as she was powerless, so he didn't see a problem in treating this battered woman with a relatively expensive advanced-tier healing pill.

In any case, he felt that this could be treated as returning what he swindled from the Alstreim Family. All that he gained from the Alchemy Exchange was glory and validation, which would probably spread in the upcoming days, making the Dragon Queen's name have more reach and retention.

This would further enhance the credibility of him creating a pill that was normally out of his league, and the voices that doubted him would also lessen when they learned that he is a female monster's subordinate.

Only an abnormally talented master could possess an abnormally talented subordinate! However, judging by their ages, they would feel that both parties are equal in status as they might think that Alchemist Davis was just staying for obtaining the beauty's favor!

Thinking like this, perhaps even the Thousand Pill Palace would soon come searching for him and try to recruit him by giving undeniable offers, no?
