Chapter 944: Signed? (2/2)

”Let me personally show you two the way out.”

They both nodded their heads.

But before they could fly away, Ancestor Dian Alstreim looked at Daniuis Alstreim, ”You have overstayed in this place, and could be said to have enjoyed a bit of luxury. You can return to your little brother's mansion, or should I allocate a plot of land for you?”

Daniuis Alstreim shook his head, ”No need. I'll return to my little brother's mansion.”

His forehead was covered with sweat, but no one found it suspicious. In fact, they felt it was normal.

”You should thank the Conferred Queen for letting you stay here.”

Daniuis Alstreim took a deep breath and did as he was told. He moved his body towards Princess Isabella and bowed his head as he clasped his hands, ”I thank the Conferred Queen for her magnanimous attitude.”

Ancestor Dian Alstreim nodded his head with a smile, and then they all flew away as they left the Purple Guest Palace.

Davis and Princess Isabella looked at them leave before both of them looked towards the center of the hall, from where Nadia emerged from the shadows in her human form, and there was a person who was holding her fair white hand.

It was none other than Davis.

They walked hand-in-hand before Davis let her go and stretched his body.

”Phew...That was too close for comfort...”

”Granduncle Daniuis was almost screwed over by both of them.”

”Hehe...” Princess Isabella giggled, ”Don't talk as if you didn't have the situation in control, you sly fox.”

Davis wryly shook his head, ”I didn't think that they would pull out a Blood Soul Contract. Fortunately, I correctly timed your entrance. Otherwise, it would have been really difficult for us to send them away satisfied. They aren't easy to fool, you know?”

”If we had confronted them in a straightforward manner, it would've become a mess as we would have offended them. It was only with Daniuis Alstreim's quick wits and decision making was I able to cue you to arrive at a particular point.”

”What about the oath and the Blood Soul Contract? Will your granduncle really be fine?” Princess Isabella turned her head in confusion.

Didn't Daniuis Alstreim lie? The oath should've broken already, and the Blood Soul Contract would've acted in accordance with its rules and punished Daniuis Alstreim. However, why didn't it happen yet?

”Haven't I told you already?” Davis smiled before he proceeded to explain.

Of course, when Daniuis Alstreim made the oath about what he confessed a while ago in front of the three Ancestors, he really meant it. However, Daniuis Alstreim wasn't afraid of the repercussions since what he said wasn't a lie.

It was not a lie because the confession he targeted about, saying 'a while ago', is the matter he confessed to his little brother Edgar Alstreim, that he was in the wrong for not helping him at that time. He poured out his feelings, and it cleared the misunderstanding between them, giving them a semblance of being brothers again, even though it was still a bit awkward.

So, Daniuis Alstreim swore an oath, but it was about the heartwarming talk with his little brother in reality, rather than about the information he provided to those two Ancestors. His oath wouldn't break because what he said was the truth, and the Blood Soul Contract would only act on him negatively if the oath breaks.

Daniuis Alstreim had literally pulled the wool over those two Ancestors' eyes, managing to achieve what he wanted with a negligible sacrifice!
