"Evelynn... Isabella... You're here..."
Davis smiled with a bit of awkwardness as he looked at the two beauties have their brows raised at him. On the other hand, Zestria Domitian felt afraid of these two and got closer to Davis as if seeking protection.
"A mere slave dares to be so close with my Davis?"
"Zestria, do you think the person who lost her pride and dignity deserves to be with the Emperor of Death!?"
As soon as these words left the mouths of Isabella and Evelynn, Davis knew they were about to test her. He was about to raise his hands to stop them when the woman beside him strode forward.
"I... I want to be with his eminence...!" Zestria Domitian cried out as her eyes glistened, "I'll live up to my previous name, no, go even further...!"
"That's why, please don't take me away from him~"
She pleaded and was about to fall on her knees to ask their forgiveness when a voice echoed.
"Zestria!"
Zestria Domitian froze when she heard the voice, slowly turning to look back at Davis, whose lips moved.
"As my woman, you're not going to kneel to plead, not anymore, not even to me."
His voice resounded in a commanding tone which made her feel dumbfounded. Simultaneously, Isabella walked past her, arriving before Davis.
"Seems like she seduced you completely..."
Isabella placed a hand on his shoulder as she narrowed her eyes but then sent a soul transmission that was contrary to what she said.
"You can continue to make love with Zestria, but we'll further keep an eye on her. As I was the one who recommended them to you, I can't allow her to betray you in any way. Otherwise, I won't know how to face you. Now, put me in my place."
Davis's eyes narrowed.
This woman... she wanted to scare Zestria by suppressing herself? To show that he could control the Earth Dragon Queen if he wanted?
'Ridiculous...'
Davis couldn't help but inwardly swear.
"Isabella, your place is not below me but beside me along with your sisters. So don't be so cruel to Zestria, for I am convinced that her emotions towards me are genuine."
He sent back a soul transmission, causing Isabella to tremble ever so lightly before she took her hand back from his shoulder and replied.
"I would've never tried to send them to you if I wanted to hate them. However, I won't easily accept Zestria as one of my precious sisters either."
"Fine with me."
Davis replied before he opened his mouth.
"Zestria, apologize to your third sister Isabella for the problems your family caused."
"...?"
Zestria Domitian still looked dumbfounded, but there was visible confusion in her eyes.
"What's wrong? I only told you not to kneel. I never said you shouldn't apologize."
"Ahh~"
Zestria Domitian quickly understood and hurriedly arrived in front of Isabella and bowed.
"I deeply apologize for the transgressions my family caused. I know my apology isn't enough, but please forgive me."
"Forgive you? What about your family?"
Isabella raised her brows, causing Zestria Domitian to tremble while she clenched her fists.
"I have no concern for a family that abandoned me..."
"Oh~"
Isabella's eyes became more approving. It was just as she heard from the various sources and Shirley. Zestria Domitian didn't know how to lie as she was apparently a hot-blooded woman who strode forward at her own pace. However, after her pride was destroyed, Isabella felt that trait might've changed, but it seems like only her pride was affected but not her honest character.
"Try to win her over."
On the other hand, Zestria Domitian heard Davis's voice in her mind, which swiftly had her thinking, but she couldn't think of a good way to win Isabella over. She began to panic and almost trembled, but a hand reached out to her and held her shoulders, lifting her up when she saw that it was none other than the Hex Demoness.
Abruptly, she felt the Sealing Hex on her fade.
"Do you promise to be together with him, with us?"
Zestria Domitian felt invigorated with her cultivation coming back to her. Her meridian pathways ran with the sealed energies and became more active, suddenly making her crimson eyes blaze with fire as if they shone with intense determination.
"I promise!~"
Evelynn shot an approving smile before she turned to look at Isabella.
"Third sis, I want you to forgive her."
Isabella blinked before she couldn't help but giggle.
"If it's my big sister's wish, then I can't say no, can I?"
She appeared amused as she smiled at the shocked woman.
"Zestria, I forgive you, but I won't forgive your Domitian Family."
Zestria Domitian's shocked expression slowly became filled with a smile as she raised her hand, flames blazing out of her palm.
"Fine by me. I don't care about them anymore. In fact, Earth Dragon Queen can kill them all if you want, and I won't say a word about it, even if you command me to do it!"
Isabella's brows widened.
On the other hand, Davis also appeared astonished.
'This is... intense love turning to intense hate...? I'll probably face the same intense hate if I abandon her...'
He couldn't help but smile as he felt that she was to his liking as she shared his extremity.
Evelynn also smiled. This hatred that was sensitive to her darkness soul was what caught her eye. She secretly took out a stone and crushed it. A second later, Zestria froze as she felt something in her soul crumble before she finally felt as if her wings of freedom were released.
"The slave seal... it's been removed..."
Zestria Domitian dumbfoundedly uttered while Evelynn smiled.
"That's fourth sister Shirley's doing... Perhaps, you should thank her later?"
"..."
'I swear... sister Shirley is like my own blood sister...!'
Zestria Domitian's eyes became full of tears that she had to lower her head and hold herself back from crying, but it was a wrong move as tears spilled out, splashing on the floor.
After all the time spent in this Purple Guest Palace as a slave before being freed at this moment, she figured out that these people weren't malicious but nice and caring people. Shirley was especially kind to her, giving her a chance to change her fate, not to mention that this took place on Shirley's marriage night with him.
How many women would be able to leave their nuptial chamber from their husbands even if they were already pregnant with their husband's child? That's why she felt immensely moved by Shirley. At the same time, she felt the Dragon Families deserved their reckoning even more.
Suddenly, two warm arms wrapped her in an embrace.
"Zestria, you're one of us now."
"I want to see mas- sister Shirley."
Zestria Domitian raised her head and spoke with tearful eyes, causing Davis to nod as he too wanted to see her intensely.
"Let's go."
