Chapter 960: Havle Alstreim's Mansion

Conferred Queen Isabella's reputation kept getting more and more ridiculous with each passing day. No, it was apt to say that Conferred Queen was getting out of his reach. Ever since the Conferred Queen made the Aqua Flood Dragon retreat with her unique dragon bloodline, they all came to understand the difference between them thoroughly.

This was also why no men were present to follow her around even when Weiss Alstreim was not present to hold them back!

So this time, Edgar Alstreim was determined to be the first to make contact with the Conferred Queen's group. Even if they refuse, he was at least intent on making them listen to his words, but he never thought for a single moment that the Conferred Queen would take the initiative to go to his mansion; Elder Havle Alstreim's mansion, to be precise.

He was absolutely determined to not waste this opportunity.

"It is my pleasure, Conferred Queen..." Edgar Alstreim clasped his hands before he gestured.

Princess Isabella nodded before the three of them flew towards the west in the skies. Many people who were high-key acting like shopkeepers, passengers, pedestrians, and others watched them leave before they quickly took out a messaging talisman and reported the information to their own masters.

Princess Isabella cast a glance at Davis, winking one of her brows at him as if making him know how she made it easier for Edgar Alstreim to invite them.

Davis curled his lips and gestured with his eyes in praise. He had indeed told her that he had business with Edgar Alstreim.

In a few minutes, they arrived at the northwest part of the Grand Alstreim City.

There was a huge mansion that spanned for over five kilometers wide and long, and the yard also took spanned the same, making the entire property span a hundred square kilometers. The mansion occupied a space of twenty-five square kilometers and possessed four floors. However, the mansion wasn't short but reached eighty meters tall, with each floor taking the height of twenty meters.

Looking at the purple-white mansion, Davis cast a small glance around the yard as he noticed that it possessed artificial lakes and gardens built with herbs growing on it. There seemed to be many servants and caretakers who tended to the property, taking care of the environment with a slight smile on their faces.

'Perhaps they are treated well?' Davis mused but also felt that it could be forced.

Edgar Alstreim brought them inside the mansion before heading towards the second floor. The inside of the mansion possessed an attractive look to it with flame and lotus flower patterns. It reminded Davis of something else before he remembered that Elder Havle Alstreim was also an avid appreciator of craftsmanship. They passed through some halls which possessed a few big skulls of magical beasts as decoration.

Judging by the skull's density, Davis and Princess Isabella felt that it should be from a King Beast Stage Magical Beast. Perhaps, it was hunted by Elder Havle Alstreim single-handedly. After all, it was hung like a trophy.

They walked through the hall before they reached the stairs and headed towards the second floor. Soon, they reached a particular hall where there were a few people present.

A middle-aged man grasped a sword in his hand in the middle of the hall. With a smile on his face, he was instructing a young girl who also grasped a sword in her hands, but the way she handled and swung the sword was not firm, while her form was also not even closer to the point.

"No... You're holding it wrong. Use your palms to clench the sword like you're one with it... Watch my posture and the way I grasp the sword before-" The middle-aged man frowned as he sensed newcomers with his physical sense.

He was pissed off that someone dared to interrupt the precious time he spent with his granddaughter, teaching her how to grasp and swing a sword without wasteful and grand movements. When he turned his head to look at the blasphemers, his eyes almost popped out from his sockets.

"C-Conferred Queen!?"

"Havle Alstreim... It seems that you're busy teaching your granddaughter sword arts while you have no time to bother about me anymore after inviting me to the Alstreim Family..."

Elder Havle Alstreim raised his hands and shook his head, wanting to clear the misunderstanding, "It's not like that, Conferred Queen."

"Then what is it like?" Princess Isabella smiled with a teasing expression on her face.

Elder Havle Alstreim looked at Davis, and seeing that there are no untrustworthy people here, he sighed, "It's for my family."

Princess Isabella frowned, "Are you being harassed?"

Elder Havle Alstreim shook his head, "Not yet."

"I do not care if I'm going to be harassed by them. However, I do care about my family, so I decided to back out from nearing your magnificent presence. This way, I would be able to avoid them and still receive the rewards for bringing your majestic-self to the Alstreim Family. Besides..."

He wryly chuckled, "Ever since Conferred Queen made the Aqua Flood Dragon retreat, your reputation and status have soared in our hearts. I... We don't even dare to stand close to your majestic-self, the one who is called the Dragon Queen."

"If you're like this, you'll just increase my arrogance to grow..." Princess Isabella melodiously giggled as she turned to look at the two women who were seated before but stood in attention as soon as they heard that she was the Conferred Queen. It was not they didn't stand in the first place while noticing Elder Havel Alstreim's reaction, but it was because they became dumbfounded of her beauty.

"They are?"

"Ah, that's my daughter and Edgar Alstreim's wife, Lia Alstreim." Elder Havle Alstreim pointed to a gorgeous blonde-haired woman before he pointed at a dark blue-haired woman. However, his face deflated, and his finger shook, wondering why he bothered to point at her at this time.

"She... She..." It quickly became awkward for him, not knowing what to designate and introduce her as to the Conferred Queen.

"Dark-blue hair, a face that looks similar to the Ethren's... Could it be that she's the princess who's said to have been given as a gift to you, the Envoy of the Alstreim Family by the Ethren Empire?" Davis, who was silent all this time, suddenly interjected.

Elder Havle Alstreim's expression froze before he blushed in embarrassment and shame.

He screamed that this wasn't supposed to be talked in front of a dignified being such as the Conferred Queen but didn't dare to speak out. He was afraid that the Conferred Queen would really look down on him, but contrary to his expectations...

Princess Isabella raised her purplish brow, "Oh? So it's your mistress..."

Elder Havle Alstreim became slightly taken aback. The Conferred Queen was not displeased with him?

He doubtfully nodded his head.

"Yes... She is Remora Ethren..."

Davis inwardly laughed at Elder Havle Alstreim's words. Of course, he knew this beforehand from Alexi Ethren. It seemed like this princess, Remora Ethren, got pregnant with Elder Havle Alstreim's child. It was actually an unexpected situation on their part as it is not easy to get pregnant in the later stages, especially when Elder Havle Alstreim is at the Sixth Stage in Body Tempering Cultivation.

They mused that it should've taken many times for the princess to get pregnant, but Elder Havle Alstreim only visited her a few times. The Ethrens' mused that it was her luck. Hence, they had completely given her to Elder Havle Alstreim.
