Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 918 Stuck

'What now?' Davis couldn't understand.

Why was she looking at him like that? Was Princess Isabella angry for Princess Shirley? He didn't know she had thought of something else entirely during this time.

"Hug me..." Princess Isabella muttered with her pursed lips, her face turning into a pout.

Davis became stunned as he heard her. She wasn't going to punch him in the stomach, right?

Princess Isabella narrowed her eyes as she started to look aggrieved, "Hug me!"

Davis tightened his stomach for a violent impact and embraced her with both of his arms, but no matter how he waited, a punch to the gut didn't arrive, but he felt that Princess Isabella just embraced him back.

Princess Isabella's hands wrapped around and grabbed his shoulders. She raised her head from his chest and closed her eyes while having her mouth slightly agape.

Davis's mind churned.

Since he was the wrongdoer, he really wasn't in a position to tease or irritate her, but now that she had willingly displayed her intent to him, how could he not make use of the situation?

He leaned towards her and pressed his lips over her rosy lips, feeling the soft and supple flesh that tasted like a bit like cherry, and herself. He inclined his head kept gobbling up her lower lip into his mouth, making muffled smooching sounds that caused both of them to fall into a trance.

Princess Isabella stayed still in the beginning, but she passionately started to respond back, extending her tongue out to welcome his as they fought over supremacy, but in the end, she obediently moved her tongue inside her mouth, only to make him fall into a trap as she bit his tongue.

"Ah! What are you doin-" Davis's yell was cut short by a sudden hot and deep kiss.

The sound of their lips smacking could be heard before she moved away, only to kiss him back and forth, like a hen pecking on its food repeatedly. She did it multiple times as she held his cheeks before she looked at his sapphire eyes in a trance, wanting to have him to herself forever.

"I love you!"

She leaped in and gave a full, hot, and deep kiss that lasted for over ten seconds. Their faces were already hot when they separated, expressing sexual tension over their short lovemaking while only using their mouths.

Davis was about to lose his mind in her warmth as that was quite intense in its own way, but he heard her say.

"I love you... And I want you to stay with me for who I am..."

"Never leave me, okay?"

"I'd like to ask you the same..." Davis smiled as he pulled her and made her sit on his lap.

Princess Isabella wrapped her arms around his neck. She nodded her head while she bit her lower lip, "I want to know more about you..."

"Sure!"

Davis raised his brows as he tried to calm his raging boner down.

Right now, he could see that Princess Isabella's love was not sexual at this time, but she wanted to be intimate with him. He felt that he could use this chance to become closer to her like he is with Evelynn and Natalya.

Honestly, Davis felt the need to keep her to himself, just like how Princess Isabella thought of keeping him to herself. They both did not want to lose each other by making a silly mistake. Hence, in the next few hours, Davis and Princess Isabella passed the time in leisure, putting effort into knowing more about themselves.

Time passed, half a day went by, and it became night.

Including Daniuis Alstreim, everyone gathered at one of the halls on the seventeenth floor, which turned out to be a Dining Hall. Davis sealed the environment with the master token in his possession. He further activated all the defenses in the top three floors and swept with his soul sense over the entire palace to confirm that there weren't any people or devices to confirm that no one was spying on them.

All of them gathered an hour before, and Davis finished explaining what had happened earlier with Ancestor Dian Alstreim to all of them.

Claire's face ran down with sweat, and Logan and the others were solemn, to say the least. Each of their faces was stricken with fear, anxiety, and nervousness. They had gone pale and even aghast the moment they heard about Ancestor Dian Alstreim knowing about them, but they still listened to his speech without losing their minds to a nervous breakdown.

Davis placed his hand on the rectangular table, which was empty without any food, and ended his speech, "In conclusion, there aren't any changes other than the fact Ancestor Dian Alstreim knows all about us except Princess Isabella. He still thinks that she is from a large Territory."

"I know all of you won't speak a word about it, but I must still specifically ask granduncle Daniuis to be as secretive as possible since your presence is at suspicion."

Daniuis Alstreim sternly nodded his head as he heard about his matter from Davis, "I won't even leak a word of it. Besides, I am well aware that your origin is way more worth than my small life."

Davis nodded his head back and looked at Claire.

"Mother, as I said before, in the near future, the Ancestor would try to approach you to reunite you with your father and pull you in back to the Alstreim Family."

"You must make a decision at that time, whether to go through the Ancestor or reunite with your father by yourself, although the latter would mean that you're intent on causing havoc in Alstreim Family while the former would mean that you're going to seek for justice within the rules of the family."

Claire stared at the table as she listened to Davis. Her son's reasoning was apt and placed two decisions in front of her in a simple manner.

She raised her head and instead asked, "Why didn't you become the Young Master at the Ancestor's request?"

"What I would do in this place rests entirely on your decision." Davis didn't hesitate to answer.

"Besides, I don't want to be constricted to power as I like the freedom I have."

Claire nodded as she knew how her son was... She then descended into silence and started to contemplate again.

First, she was relieved that the Ancestor didn't try to kill or imprison them so that he could obtain the way to the Forsaken Phoenix Realm. Second, they weren't coerced either and instead was given this entire palace as their temporary home with her son possessing the master token.

Third, although she couldn't still believe it, it seems that the Ancestor bowed to Davis, probably with sincerity and the good of the Alstreim Family in his mind.

Although she felt complicated, her feelings didn't change, and her killing intent hadn't faded. She was bent on getting revenge for her father and mother. However, with the Ancestor showing favor to her and her son, she was unable to make a sound decision.

In short, she was stuck in a rock and a hard place.
