Chapter 944 Signed?

"As you said before, you should add a condition that states that Daniuis Alstreim didn't hide anything from us." Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky chuckled as he looked at Tirea Snow.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim became increasingly appalled, but he maintained an indifferent external appearance. If they added more conditions, he felt that Daniuis Alstreim would become more screwed than he already is!

Indeed, Daniuis Alstreim became shocked. He had hidden many things! Heck, he had only lied to them! Wouldn't the addition of this condition spell the end of his life?

At this time, footsteps could be heard from the stairs beside the hall.

Ancestor Tirea Snow narrowed her eyes, "Quick, both of you drop a bit of your blood essence on the Blood Soul Contract, and recite with me."

Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky's expression lacked patience as well after hearing the footsteps. He glared at Daniuis Alstreim, blazing with killing intent.

Daniuis Alstreim became aghast, but he knew this was his chance since such a condition wasn't added because of the urgency. He quickly condensed a drop of blood essence from his heart and cut his finger. The drop of blood floated before it landed on the Blood Soul Contract along with another two drops of blood from Ancestor Tirea Snow and Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky.

"I, Tirea Snow, accept the binding imposed on me by the Blood Soul Contract!"

"I, Xanbas Goldsky, accept the binding imposed on me by the Blood Soul Contract!"

"I, Daniuis Alstreim, accept the binding imposed on me by the Blood Soul Contract!"

Their words caused a phenomenon to appear as a flash of light started to resplendently glow from the Blood Soul Contract. It disintegrated and turned into yellowish motes before shooting towards the three people who had agreed to enter the contract.

It entered their soul sea and bound with their soul essence without even causing a tidal wave of disturbance in their soul seas.

At this point, the footsteps became louder, and the Conferred Queen appeared in their view the next second. Just before that, Ancestor Dian Alstreim promptly removed the seamless sound barrier.

This made it so that the Conferred Queen didn't see or hear anything of suspicion, but it should be pretty clear that the hall itself was silent, which should be pretty suspicious in itself.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim quickly made a move, "Haha, Conferred Queen. You were quite late to the scene. Both Ancestors have already finished talking to Daniuis Alstreim and has agreed to return his children in a polite manner."

Princess Isabella stopped descending down the stairs and blinked with an embarra.s.sed smile on her face. The Conferred Queen's Protector descended beside her as his voice echoed.

"Ah, the backlash was tough to quell than Young Mistress initially expected. So, her arrival became a bit late."

"Haha, driving the Aqua Flood Dragon away and even making it cower in fear is no easy feat. Conferred Queen should rest and recover to her complete health." Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky chuckled and added with a worried expression on his face.

"We are taking our leave, so if there isn't anything else, we'll be on our way."

Princess Isabella visibly heaved a sigh, "No matter... If the discussion is over, then there is no meaning in staying here."

"Young Mistress is wise..." Davis simply stated.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim inwardly approved of Davis's actions. He felt that Davis convinced the Conferred Queen to take care of the backlash before coming here, making it so that she would be unaware of the matters of the secret realm.

Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky clasped his hand, and Ancestor Tirea Snow did the same. They turned to have, but Ancestor Dian Alstreim suddenly echoed.

"Let me personally show you two the way out."

They both nodded their heads.

But before they could fly away, Ancestor Dian Alstreim looked at Daniuis Alstreim, "You have overstayed in this place, and could be said to have enjoyed a bit of luxury. You can return to your little brother's mansion, or should I allocate a plot of land for you?"

Daniuis Alstreim shook his head, "No need. I'll return to my little brother's mansion."

His forehead was covered with sweat, but no one found it suspicious. In fact, they felt it was normal.

"You should thank the Conferred Queen for letting you stay here."

Daniuis Alstreim took a deep breath and did as he was told. He moved his body towards Princess Isabella and bowed his head as he clasped his hands, "I thank the Conferred Queen for her magnanimous att.i.tude."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim nodded his head with a smile, and then they all flew away as they left the Purple Guest Palace.

Davis and Princess Isabella looked at them leave before both of them looked towards the center of the hall, from where Nadia emerged from the shadows in her human form, and there was a person who was holding her fair white hand.

It was none other than Davis.

They walked hand-in-hand before Davis let her go and stretched his body.

"Phew...That was too close for comfort..."

"Granduncle Daniuis was almost screwed over by both of them."

"Hehe..." Princess Isabella giggled, "Don't talk as if you didn't have the situation in control, you sly fox."

Davis wryly shook his head, "I didn't think that they would pull out a Blood Soul Contract. Fortunately, I correctly timed your entrance. Otherwise, it would have been really difficult for us to send them away satisfied. They aren't easy to fool, you know?"

"If we had confronted them in a straightforward manner, it would've become a mess as we would have offended them. It was only with Daniuis Alstreim's quick wits and decision making was I able to cue you to arrive at a particular point."

"What about the oath and the Blood Soul Contract? Will your granduncle really be fine?" Princess Isabella turned her head in confusion.

Didn't Daniuis Alstreim lie? The oath should've broken already, and the Blood Soul Contract would've acted in accordance with its rules and punished Daniuis Alstreim. However, why didn't it happen yet?

"Haven't I told you already?" Davis smiled before he proceeded to explain.

Of course, when Daniuis Alstreim made the oath about what he confessed a while ago in front of the three Ancestors, he really meant it. However, Daniuis Alstreim wasn't afraid of the repercussions since what he said wasn't a lie.

It was not a lie because the confession he targeted about, saying 'a while ago', is the matter he confessed to his little brother Edgar Alstreim, that he was in the wrong for not helping him at that time. He poured out his feelings, and it cleared the misunderstanding between them, giving them a semblance of being brothers again, even though it was still a bit awkward.

So, Daniuis Alstreim swore an oath, but it was about the heartwarming talk with his little brother in reality, rather than about the information he provided to those two Ancestors. His oath wouldn't break because what he said was the truth, and the Blood Soul Contract would only act on him negatively if the oath breaks.

Daniuis Alstreim had literally pulled the wool over those two Ancestors' eyes, managing to achieve what he wanted with a negligible sacrifice!
