Chapter 1019: Faked (1/2)
Elder Zeno Alstreim's expression suddenly became odd, ”I assume you still have the Imagery Stone with you, or have you ended up disposing of it long ago?”
”I still have it with me...” Immeth Alstreim tapped her waist and spread open her palm wide.
An Imagery Stone appeared on her palm from the spatial belt she had hidden under her robe over her waist. She had kept this Imagery Stone so that she could use this to later frame Nora Alstreim, but so far, she hadn't seen such an opportunity arrive in front of her sight.
Looking at Elder Zeno Alstreim stare at her dubiously, she promptly activated the Imagery Stone to show that she still had it with her.
A projection appeared and formed the image of a room, along with a majestic chair that looked like a throne of a ruler, and seated over it was a beauty that could cause the fall of a kingdom, her expression proud while her lips were widened into a curve, a smirk hanging on it.
It was none other than Nora Alstreim!
She gracefully put her leg over the other and spoke.
”Claire... The fact that you are watching this recording means that you received my parting gift.”
”Do you feel hopeless? Despairing? Anguished? Perhaps, deep pain in your soul?”
There was a slight pause, along with a clear sneer from Nora Alstreim's lips.
”Don't resent me, okay? Time and time again, I treated you with respect, but since you don't seem to know your place, I had no choice but to do this to you.”
”If you feel reluctant, why don't you try to get back to the Alstreim Family again and take this matter to the Disciplinary Hall? However, without even a single piece of evidence, what can you do to me? What can you do against my family? As for revenge?”
Nora Alstreim's lips curved into a mocking smile, ”Are you even worthy?”
”Let's not talk about that because first, you have to survive from those barbarians. Truth be told, I'm rather excited to see if you're going to be killed or violated by one of them-”
”Very good! I knew there would be uses in keeping this with us!” Elder Zeno Alstreim exclaimed in excitement.
'I have to admit that I'm rather skilled in imitating women when using illusions!'
He was convinced by his own illusory performance. He mused that if he had no memory of this, even he would start to suspect Nora Alstreim's integrity!
Nora Alstreim nodded her head and kept the half-finished Imagery Stone back inside her spatial belt.
”Nevertheless, I just heard this news from Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim. That idiot was extremely happy that Nora Alstreim managed to obtain the favor of the Dragon Queen, earning the qualifications to become her subordinate.”
”What!?” Immeth Alstreim practically screamed in reluctance and as well as rage as her brows narrowed. If this truly occurred, then wouldn't her plan to seduce Alchemist Davis and have him take revenge against Nora Alstreim as well as others who used her fail!?
Elder Zeno Alstreim chuckled, ”She had just earned the qualifications, not the instant right to become a subordinate. Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim said that it would take some months for her to return, so that would mean that she is being tested right now.”
”Before Nora Alstreim could become a true subordinate, your job is to make contact with Alchemist Davis and 'expose' Nora Alstreim's wrongdoings. This way, even the Dragon Queen would feel disgusted that she might instantly vilify her, or perhaps even slay her!”
'Then we'll watch as both Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim, and the Dragon Queen tear apart each other!' Both Immeth Alstreim and Elder Zeno Alstreim thought in glee, but both had different intent behind their actions.
