Chapter 927 Where Is He?
"It’s not the monitoring formation." Davis thought for a moment before he shook his head and answered, "Nora Alstreim is aware of the Conferred Queen Protector’s powerful soul sense and is in the right to think that I would keep it active at all times to safeguard the Conferred Queen."
"Hence, it is possible that she doesn’t know about the handover of the master token, but only said her words as she knew that I would be monitoring the place with my soul sense. I’m ninety percent sure that this should be the case unless it is, as you said. I’ll keep your warning in my mind."
Princess Isabella suddenly felt stupid. She concentrated on the invisible for a few seconds that she forgot about the visible in her thought process.
"A careless mistake... My bad for asking a foolish question..." Princess Isabella laughingly apologized. She had no evidence against Grand Elder Krax Alstreim to back her statement, so even she felt that Davis’s reasoning should be true.
"Everyone has their moment of folly, no need to apologize." Davis nodded his head as if he was superior.
Princess Isabella smiled as she struck him with her palm over his back, "You scoundrel! You were supposed to say that it wasn’t my fault!"
Davis jumped to the front as he felt a burning sensation over his back from the abrupt smack. Even though the Solitary Soul Avatar was a soul body, it was still able to feel pain. However, her attack did not anger him.
He knew that some people could only show their love through their fists, and a clear sign of that would be their fists wouldn’t even cause much harm, and they would have an intimate, faked anger or teasing expression on their face, intent on provoking the other party to beat them back, which would lead to an intimate situation or a domestic fight in the end.
Davis couldn’t afford to get into an intimate situation again, afraid that he would be unable to hold himself back, so he patted his back to ease the pain before he chuckled and waved his hand, retracting the formation.
Princess Isabella looked at the projection disappear and had to admit that since Nora Alstreim and Logan weren’t able to sense that they were monitored, she felt that this project should be a result of a sophisticated and hidden monitoring formation.
Thankfully, Davis possessed the master token, so he was the only one who was able to view these things. However, she became alarmed as she thought of another possibility.
"Don’t tell me that this monitoring formation can see what is happening in these private rooms!?"
Davis laughed, "Of course not! It only covers the corridors, halls, and other public spaces. If powerful guests arrived and if they found that private rooms are being monitored, the Alstreim Family would be in deep trouble and would probably have to pay a steep price for that kind of blunder."
"Besides, their name would be tarnished in the other mid-sized Territories, making it so that no would bother to visit them, and perhaps, there might even be calls to destroy this ’evil’ power. The Alstreim Family wouldn’t be able to afford such a mistake."
"However, brother. I already saw this woman before in Ethren City. At that time, I didn’t know who the Conferred Queen was, but since I now know, I have something to talk to them about."
Daniuis Alstreim shrugged before he gestured a go-ahead.
Edgar Alstreim stood up and removed the sound barrier. He faced the woman and started to walk towards her in style.
"Hey woman, I’ve wanted to t- H-, Hey! Wait! Why are you running?" Edgar Alstreim was flabbergasted as he watched the woman run away like a mortal over the corridor.
Heck, she even stumbled while running and didn’t even bother to fly away.
Was he that scary to look at?
He just sighed as he shook his head before he returned to his seat.
"How is it? Isn’t mother cute?" Davis laughed as he asked.
"Right now, she’s just a child who is aching to reunite with her father but is unable to do so due to the circumstances even though her father is right in front of her..." Princess Isabella gently replied as she remembered her own imperial father.
Davis frowned, "Now that you put it this way, I don’t like this situation one bit. Mother shouldn’t really hold back when it comes to these matters."
"She... Mother-in-law considers and puts our safety foremost in her mind. Otherwise, even if it cost her life, she would’ve at least reunited with her father by now." Princess Isabella added with a frown.
Davis frowned even more on hearing Princess Isabella’s words.
What was Ancestor Dian Alstreim doing instead of meeting them already? It was already a week and a half.
There were not many restrictions as to who can enter this Purple Guest Palace, even letting Edgar Alstreim entry, which should be disadvantageous to Ancestor Dian Alstreim since he was the one who wanted to make them reunite with his own two hands.
Could it be that Ancestor Dian Alstreim wanted him to seek him out by himself instead?
He would’ve done that already if it weren’t for his real body on the verge of a breakthrough!
