Alexi Ethren reacted as his expression became ecstatic, however, it was not for the inheritance, "Are grandfather and grandmother still alive!?"

Arianna Woller's expression fell before she shook her head.

"The scum I once loved killed them..."

Alexi Ethren's expression became ugly as he gritted his teeth. He didn't feel much for a distant being such as his ancestor but his maternal grandfather and grandmother whom he always wanted to meet, turned out to meet such a cruel fate. He couldn't help but clench his fists in anger!

Arianna Woller released a sigh, "Initially, that scum blackmailed me with their lives but since I resisted once, he secretly killed them. He used them to hand me over to your father, Kaiser Ethren but in the end, my resistance was in vain as I was just played like a sexual slave unaware that my parents have been already killed at that time..."

"!!!"

"Which bastard is that!? I want to exterminate his entire family!!"

To her son's burst of anger, Arianna Woller just wryly smiled as if it wasn't much to feel about currently.

"I already destroyed that scum's entire kingdom... What else needs to be said about that scum's family?"

Alexi Ethren became taken aback before he visibly relaxed. However, he still didn't feel good as he lamented the suffering of his mother. He couldn't help but think why he wasn't there for his mother when she needed him the most even though he knew that he was being harsh on himself.

Meanwhile, Davis who was listening to them by the side finally and completely related Arianna Woller with Empress Arianna.

Empress Arianna's name was infamous in the Tripartite Alliance Territory, is known for her loose values, sleeping with many officials, and brought the fall of a kingdom.

But it seemed like no one knew of her true past and why she did these things despite being extremely aversed to... It was all for her revenge.

Realizing all this, Davis couldn't help but sigh.

Tragic fates weren't something he liked when it befell on innocents, however, he was not aversed to tragic fates when it fell on complete and unremorseful evildoers.

Even now, he still felt a little bad that he inadvertently killed the innocents along with Algos Yantra and Keith Ethren when he made the latter self-destruct. If given the chance again with intact memories of the future, he felt that he could have handled it better.

However, if he were just given the chance to redo it and not the memories, he felt that he wouldn't hesitate to do it again!

"Alexi Ethren..." Davis called out, garnering his attention.

He stayed a little bit silent while taking Alexi Ethren's confused stare before he spoke.

"Your mother probably wants to die..."

Alexi Ethren became stunned before he turned to look back to see his mother, only to see her wryly smile back at him.

His lips couldn't help but quiver, "Is that true?"

Now that his mother was back and rejuvenated from the medicinal pill and the vengeance, he felt that she would no longer be suicidal but looking at her eyes...

Arianna Woller maintained eye contact for a few moments before she averted her gaze, "I don't have anything left to live..."

Right now, she was nothing but a soulless husk...

Alexi Ethren's expression changed before he rushed towards her and tightly grasped her shoulders, causing her to display a startled expression with widened eyes.

"You have me! Your son!"

"Live for me!"

Alexi Ethren screamed as he poured out his feelings for his mother.

Arianna Woller became stunned as she couldn't help but look at her son in disbelief.

All these years; for more than two centuries, with only revenge fueling her will to live, she struggled through all those disgusting experiences she had to face to increase her strength. She forgot what it was like to live for another person.

But looking at her son's needful and pleading expression, tears inadvertently fell out her eyes and before long, she found herself bawling her eyes out as she sobbed like a child in her son's embrace.

Before things could get all personal and mushy, Davis chose to exit the building, leaving them to their devices for a short period of time as he did not want to leave an Eighth Stage Expert in his residence unattended.

He even got two of his Low-Level Law Sea Stage slaves to stand guard nearby for any emergencies.

======

While Davis was waiting outside with his soul body, he was with Princess Isabella in her room.

He had just finished explaining all that happened of concern to her. The events that happened due to the dead Second Prince investigating her and the reveal of the mastermind behind it.

The events that happened two days ago.

In these two days, he had been spending more time with her due to leaving her alone for over two months from the time he secluded himself with Evelynn and Natalya.

"... And just a while ago, it seems that these two people, mother, and son just reconciled as they came to terms about their past and chose to move forward together..."

"At least, that's how it seemed..."

Princess Isabella who heard him finish the story heaved a sigh of relief. Only then did she become aware that she was listening to the story with bated breaths.

"The world is perhaps more cruel to women..." She couldn't help but sigh once again, "... As it is equally to men sometimes..."

Davis who was about to retort her first statement became silent once he heard her second statement.

In these two days, they had argued over their views on many controversial topics and came to understand each other more through communicating, however, that didn't stop them from displaying their intimacy once in a while.

In these two days, Davis had only managed to kiss her once, not on her lips but on the back of her palm and her cheeks. He didn't want to be hasty and scare her away, and besides, dealing with three women at the same time while being sincere came off as being insincere instead.

It held him back from being sexually aggressive with her all the more, being cautious with every move he made, making him look like an awkward human being or worse.

Right now, they were sitting on the floor with crossed legs at opposite ends of a small table, the same place where he first confessed to her. On the table, there were some high-quality leaves and spirit water, used to brew hot spirit tea but it was already empty.

Princess Isabella noticed the empty spirit tea, and feeling that Davis's throat should be dry from explaining all that to her patiently, she wanted to refill it for him. She remembered that she had stacked some leaves in the kitchen when she took it out of the spatial ring for arranging and counting the leaves.

"Let me get some tea leaves..."

Princess Isabella spoke and stood up but she suddenly came to a stop as her small hand was captured by Davis. She smiled in satisfaction and moved her lips, "Your throat should be feeling dry after taking the time to inform all this to me... I'd feel bad if I don't quench your thirst..."

Davis blinked and revealed the inner thoughts he suppressed, "I'd rather have my thirst be quenched by your lips..."

Princess Isabella's expression froze before a crimson hue highlighted her cheeks.

Judging by his actions, she knew that he didn't want to leave her for a second but to be brazen like this... somehow, she didn't dislike it. She averted her gaze for a moment as she felt her heart pound faster than before.

Her inner thoughts screamed for her to give in to his wishes!

Abruptly, she found herself closing her eyes and slightly opening her mouth. Her expression was as if she was ready to be kissed.

Davis noticed her reaction to his words and became excited. He stood up and used his soul force to move the small table to the side without making a sound.

Once the small table was moved away, he stepped forwards as he extended his hands towards her face. His palm touched her delicate cheeks as he cupped her face and at the same time, saw her eyelids flutter that almost made him fall in a trance while staring at her beauty.

Looking at her still be scared of being intimate but not willing to reject, Davis felt that he had to step up.
