Chapter 1721 - Tempting Offers
"Oh my, a mere slave dares to drop precious Aqua Flood Dragon Meat?"
Quara grinned at Zestria Domitian, "Looks like it won't be long before you are punished and traded away for your uselessness."
As Quara sneered, Zestria Domitian retreated two steps back with fear visible in her eyes. Her face that was already pale was turning aghast from realizing the consequences of being traded off to this tyrannical female magical beast.
"No... I..."
Zestria Domitian shook her head when a bold and domineering voice echoed.
"Insolent!"
The heads of everyone swiveled towards Zestria Domitian's side, where they saw Bylai Zlatan wave her hand and look at Quara with narrowed eyes.
"Do you know who you're talking to? Zestria Domitian isn't just any ordinary slave but also the Emperor of Death's woman. If you think you can take her away just because of a heavenly treasure, you're extremely wrong!"
She folded her arms and looked overbearingly at Quara, causing the latter to shudder.
Had she made a mistake?
On the other hand, everyone else looked towards Davis in shock as they heard Bylai Zlatan's words while Claire and Logan blinked.
Had he really done it? Conquering the body of his slaves through force?
But before they could all make a judgment, Davis slightly chuckled.
"Looks like there's a misunderstanding..."
Bylai Zlatan widened her eyes at Davis.
What was he saying? She groomed Zestria Domitian half a day ago, so how could she not know that Davis robbed Zestria of her innocence today?
Zestria didn't talk to her today, so what else could it mean other than-
Suddenly, she felt a tug on her sleeves as she turned to look back at Zestria Domitian, who trembled while holding her as if though she was her only ally.
"Bylai, his eminence didn't visit me..."
"What!?"
Bylai Zlatan's body went stiff as she looked at Zestria Domitian lower her head.
This whole time, she had thought that the Emperor of Death had taken her innocence away, causing her to be silent this while, but now, it didn't seem to be the case.
While the others smiled in approval or heaved a sigh of relief, a joyful scream echoed out.
"Since Zestria Domitian doesn't actively want to be my emperor's woman, I guess the only way to benefit from her is to sell her to the Scarlet Tyrant Hawk Abode."
"You have a point."
Isabella spoke with an exasperated expression on her face while Davis nodded, causing Zestria Domitian to finally move.
"No...!"
*Whoosh!~*
Everyone thought she was going to run, but they opened their eyes wide as they saw her arrive in front of Davis, not before him but underneath him and the table he sat in front of.
"Please...! Don't sell me off! I swear...! I swear to be your obedient slave. I... I'll willingly become your woman, so please don't sell me to the Scarlet Tyrant Hawk Abode!"
"...!"
Almost everyone's mouth became as they saw this scene before looking at Davis.
Davis's brows twitched as he looked at Zestria Domitian, who literally held onto his legs as she kneeled and bent her waist under the low height table. Her face was above his leg, and her tearful and pleading eyes appeared to be able to garner the sympathy of almost any man.
Davis's fingers also twitched as he almost flinched and destroyed her into a blood shower if it weren't for his soul sense that was already locked on to her.
He could understand her plight and sympathize with her. However...
'This position... it's too erotic...'
If she moved towards him a bit, she would be above his intimate zone, which made him think if this was an intentional desperate attempt to seduce him. Nevertheless, looking at the tears that were pouring down her eyes to his robe, he sighed before his lips moved.
"Why didn't you latch onto the legs of your Grand Elders when they decided to sell you off to me?"
Zestria Domitian became dumbfounded as her mouth slightly went agape amidst her chaotic emotions. She suddenly realized what she had done in a moment of desperation.
It was not easy to throw away her pride in front of her family, but it was easy to do that in front of the man who kept her enslaved.
'No... I don't even have a slave seal in my soul...'
Zestria Domitian understood that she completely let go of the last bit of pride she possessed at this moment, but what could she possibly do other than beg?
Even if she was miserable, she knew that it wouldn't be miserable than being taken away to the Scarlet Tyrant Hawk Abode to be chopped into pieces and fed to their members.
The Domitian Family and the Scarlet Tyrant Hawk Abode possessed a hostile relationship in the past. Both hunted down and tortured each other if a chance presented itself, and it was especially worse when their women were captured.
But in the past half a millennium or so, no such thing happened even though their relationship didn't change much nor improve.
However, Zestria Domitian had heard stories of how her Domitian Family men would nail a Scarlet Tyrant Hawk to a torturing device and pluck their feathers one by one, making them scream and feel humiliated before proceeding to do awful things, although it could be said the same about the Scarlet Tyrant Hawks doing to their Domitian Family's women.
Nevertheless, such cruelty and hatred were brought to an end half a millennium ago by the peace treaty exchanged by her deceased father and the current Abode Master of the Scarlet Tyrant Hawk Abode, although it wasn't known when and where it would be broken, and it looks like it was about to be broken now!
Perhaps, after her, the Scarlet Tyrant Hawks might go after her Domitian Family that had weakened next!
