"Well, I feel that it’s a pity... But if she is in love with another man, then I don’t see why I should have a problem..." Alexi Ethren muttered with a wry smile on his face.
’Of course, you would feel pity! Natalya is a true gem!’ Davis inwardly scoffed.
’It seems like the Third Prince had his eye on Natalya but didn’t make a move... Is it due to other reasons?’ He vaguely thought before he imperceptibly shook his head.
Princess Isabella suddenly flew away in a direction, heading towards the southeast direction, back to their residence.
"I see... Then we bid you farewell." Davis clasped his hand and looked towards Agis, "It is proper for you to leave her safely in the Conferred Queen’s residence rather than me taking her away..."
Abruptly, he disappeared right in front of their eyes, showcasing his ability as a hidden protector.
Alexi Ethren narrowed his eyes, ’This protector is enormously powerful... I couldn’t even sense his Essence Gathering Cultivation, meaning that he is at least at the High-Level of Law Sea Stage...’
Agis Stirlander blinked before he deeply bowed at his new benefactors. Without them, he felt that he would have enormously sinned, let down the Third Prince, and even implicated his family.
Fortunately, nothing of the sort happened.
"Agis..."
A voice suddenly echoed.
"Yes, your highness?" Agis Stirlander quickly responded as he moved his clasped hands towards the Third Prince.
Even now, he was still willing to be punished.
"What if I said that I was interested in your first granddaughter?"
Agis Stirlander’s expression became difficult. He swallowed his expression and changed it into a solemn one, "I’ll have to listen to my granddaughter’s wishes then..."
"Ahh... It’s a pity... I should have made known my intentions to you the moment I noticed her dazzling self..." Alexi Ethren shook his head as he felt that he lost his chance.
"Explain what happened here to the local authorities, Agis..."
He looked into the distance, towards the central direction as he took a deep breath. He then flew away from the residence.
"How?" He hoarsely asked in pain.
"It’s probably the Conferred Queen’s protector! His Soul Sense is really strong for even me to elude, so he must’ve been able to see through your disguise and the illusion I placed on you...."
Keith Ethren became aghast as he gritted his teeth in distress. His mouth almost urged him to spit another lump of blood that gathered in your throat.
His lips quivered as he could no longer maintain his arrogance or his optimistic view for the future, "What should I do now!?"
The shadowy figure quickly took out a pill and handed it over, "Quick! Swallow this pill! Right now, they have no evidence that you are the one who appeared! As for your undulations that spread in that residence, I made sure to confuse them with my illusion, so they will not be able to match your undulations with their senses."
Seeing that Keith Ethren remained stunned, the shadowy figure urged, "Quick! If you are still in good shape, the Conferred Queen will not be able to attest that it was you, the Second Prince since your highness will not have any injuries after you consume this pill!!"
Keith Ethren’s expression changed as he grabbed the pill with force and threw it into his mouth. The pill entered his throat and at the same time, its essences started to dissolve in his system and flooded his broken ribs.
As he circulated the pill essence around his ribs, it started to heal with visible results, depicting its prowess! However, he discovered that a bit of essence started to break away from his control and head towards his dantian which was near.
The essence instantly reached his dantian before he could even react!
"You! What pill is this?" Keith Ethren asked with a pale expression as he widened his eyes.
"What do you mean!? It’s an authentic medicinal pill of Low-Level Emperor Grade! Do you think I will give it to your highness if you weren’t useful to us!?"
"You think I’m blind!? There’s a conditional poison hidden in this medicinal pill you bastard!"
*Pui!~*
Keith Ethren spat out a mouthful of blood the next moment but it was not from the poison but his injuries, "You will pay for this!"
"Hahaha!" The shadow figure laughed jeeringly, "Go ahead! Since you understand that this is a conditional poison, why don’t you try being rebellious against me, against us? The Flowing Mist Sect?"
Keith Ethren gritted his teeth in extreme anger, however, he ignored the person in from of him and continued to heal as soon as he could. The fact that he had become a near-slave existence to the Flowing Mist Sect didn’t constitute for his reason to turn chaotic.
Instead, he had many ideas swirling in his head as he was prepared for this scenario!
He had bought plenty of Poison Attributed Cultivation Manuals for scenarios like this in the past and read numerous books on different types of poison!
