Chapter 945 Deceived?

The addition of another condition in the Blood Soul Contract, the matter of hiding information from them, would’ve spelled Daniuis Alstreim’s doom.

Fortunately, Princess Isabella’s timely appearance that was orchestrated by Davis through Nadia’s concealment helped in that hall helped save Daniuis Alstreim from being subjected to more conditions on the Blood Soul Contract. He instantly agreed to the contract, and the end result was that the Blood Soul Contract’s binding totally became useless on him while Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky and Ancestor Tirea Snow would have to abide by their promises and bring Daniuis Alstreim’s children back to the Alstreim Family.

Honestly, Davis didn’t think that hiding and waiting would make the situation easier for Daniuis Alstreim. He initially had other plans to help Daniuis Alstreim as he had warned him about their arrival, built up a plan, and hid with Nadia in the hall, but without any other help from himself, Daniuis Alstreim improvised and acted appropriately to every question that was thrown at him.

Truly, Davis felt that Daniuis Alstreim’s skills in acting were subpar but his wits to react quickly were impeccable that he had the luxury to not reveal himself to help. He was able to stay hidden and call the stopper, which is none other than the Conferred Queen, Princess Isabella.

It was completely an utter victory for Daniuis Alstreim.

Davis suddenly creased his brows as he looked at Princess Isabella, "Are you really not affected in a negative way? Or are you just trying to hide the fact that you have incurred a backlash so as to assure and console me?"

"Mhmm!~" Princess Isabella groaned with pursed lips before she sent a soul transmission, "How many times do I have to say? When I emulated the dragon aura, what I burnt was the diluted drop of Earth Dragon Immortal’s blood essence, which is in my body for emergencies like those times when an adversary appears. I possess many of those blood essences to refine, so it doesn’t make me sad, and neither has it injured me."

"I just feel tired of emulating the mighty presence of the Earth-Dragon. That’s all."

"If you say so..." Davis still suspiciously nodded his head.

"Look, it was the Earth Dragon Immortal who warned me that I should emulate its presence to scare away other dragons that are of a lower bloodline if I ever were to meet one that threatened me. The Earth Dragon Immortal assured me that I would not come to harm when using the diluted drop of blood essence, and the only sacrifice that I required are those diluted drops of blood essences."

"That’s why I am not harmed in any way and just feel tired."

Princess Isabella looked visibly taken aback. She lowered her head before she hesitatingly asked.

"You are not angry with me?"

"Of course not!" Davis shook his head as he could finally understand what she was feeling nervous about.

"If you want to help Natalya or the others, then go ahead. If you feel reluctant, or feel that the diluted drop of blood essence would be useful to you, just like that situation where you made the Aqua Flood Dragon retreat in fear a while ago, keep it with yourself."

"But... But I didn’t-"

Davis interrupted, "It isn’t as if I don’t have any ulterior motives when I give Evelynn and Natalya precious resources. I want to make them feel rewarded to be with me and most of all, they’ll feel attached to me."

"That’s... not really an ulterior motive when they already belong to you..."

Princess Isabella’s expression scrunched up into a wry smile, "So when you gave that precious nectar to me, you wanted me to feel the same about you? You were deceiving me to be yours?"

Davis blinked before he nodded his head with a smile and lifted up his hands in surrender, "You can say that..."

"Pfftt!" Princess Isabella started to laugh, "Hahahaha!"

But in her black eyes was a strange light that flickered before it completely disappeared from her mind, perhaps never to reappear again.

Indeed, she did not want Davis to hate her because she initially did not want to share her resources with others. She did want Evelynn and Natalya to catch up to her, but she did not want Evelynn and Natalya to surpass her either and take her place from Davis. Even though these kinds of thoughts was redundant, it really made her feel alarmed because she thought of herself to be a person with a sense of justice and righteousness.

And in her mind, people with a sense of justice and righteousness in their heart do not have these kinds of thoughts, making herself doubt her own integrity; her character, but after hearing Davis say that he too had ulterior motives, she felt relieved and understood, that perhaps, a person’s selfish thoughts don’t necessarily determine their character, but it is their actions that determine their character!
