Chapter 1025 I Won“t Resist...
Now that Nora Alstreim had healed and calmed down from the unexpected humiliation she received, she looked at Claire with a complicated expression on her face, but then she suddenly noticed something she didn’t have the leisure to notice before.
She blinked as she found it incredulous, just like how she found Claire being still alive incredulous. Pursing her lips, she refrained from asking about these two’s close relationship these two had because she could finally a semblance between their faces.
But since she had only one chance and knew what’s important for her, she took a deep breath and opened her mouth.
"Claire... I understand that you have come back for revenge, but my grandpa and grandma aren’t bad people. Please give them a chance to prove themselves..."
"Prove? Prove what?" Claire possessed an amused expression on her face.
How were they not bad people when they were the underlying reason for the death of her mother?
Nora Alstreim could see that it was difficult to convince, perhaps hopeless just by looking at the other party’s expression, but she didn’t give up, "Weiss Alstreim had been just manipulating grandma all this time, giving him an unfair advantage over every people he had enmity with, including your father but fortunately, with the Aqua Flood Dragon’s incident, we four managed to find out his true colors and ousted him."
"Therefore, I have no qualms about you killing him but-"
Davis suddenly smiled, "The Ancestor already spoke to us about that. Our first target was Weiss Alstreim, but you just had to walk into our place... You wouldn’t have experienced this humiliation if you did not approach us the first place as we would’ve shortly known about Immeth Alstreim’s true colors."
Nora Alstreim merely blinked at his provocative statement.
"No, it’s fine this way as I still have a chance to convince Claire..."
Davis frowned, ’What a strong-willed woman...’
She thought it was fine to face all this humiliation just to save her family?
He was rather astonished that she hadn’t helplessly fallen into a quagmire of hatred yet from the reveal of the recent betrayal. Perhaps, it was because her close ones were in danger that she could keep herself calm?
"You? A slave?" Claire’s expression slowly changed from shock to one of anger, "When did you become so weak that you have even dared to sell yourself!?"
"What about your grand ambition to become an Immortal!? When have you fallen so low!?"
"You!" Nora Alstreim trembled from shame before her lips yelled, "Isn’t it all because of you!? If only you hadn’t returned alive, I wouldn’t have a need to do this instead of fighting to the death!"
Claire raised her hand in anger, about to slap again, but she stopped as her expression changed, "What did you say?"
"Claire..." Nora Alstreim bit her lips as it quivered, "Were we just rivals... from opposing families?"
Claire’s expression trembled before she dropped her raised hand and stood up before turning back.
Surprisingly enough, Davis could sense complicated emotions, swirling that they had their own history with each other. He felt that it was safe to say that their friendly emotions towards each other were mutual before they got trapped in Immeth Alstreim’s scheme.
No wonder Claire felt so betrayed that she came to possess a personal vendetta against Nora Alstreim, one that didn’t let them live under the same sky but now that it was clear that Nora Alstreim was innocent, their previous emotions for each other became apparent.
"Sorry... I can’t return to the past, nor do I have the forgiving heart to do anything about it..."
"They... will have to PAY!" Claire clenched her teeth and uttered before she strode forwards towards the door.
"No! Please wait! Claire!" Nora Alstreim tried to stand up, but the shackles wouldn’t let her go no matter how she struggled, "I’ll do anything! I’ll become your slave till I die!"
"Don’t do this to me!~"
Claire suddenly stopped as she heard her cries, but she didn’t turn back, "I’ll have to apologize again because until I get my revenge, I will not let you out. Davis, I’m sorry to burden you but seal this place as you see fit..."
Without even waiting for a reply, she hurriedly strode forwards and exited the room.
"No!~ Don’t go!~~~" Nora Alstreim screamed while her tone almost became one of begging.
She fell to her knees again and lowered her head as her arms were hung by the shackles. Amidst her disheveled hair that blocked her entire expression, tears trickled down her face as it hit the ground, making her figure seem more desolate than ever.
