Chapter 1025: I Wont Resist... (2/2)

Claire's eyes inevitably widened into two saucers! Her pupils reflected Nora Alstreim's trembling body and her expression that seemed humiliated and helpless.

”I... I'll b-become your soul s-slave for a hun- no! Th-thousand years...!”

Davis and Claire, both of them became shocked that they slightly reacted to her statement!

There were no threats? There were no echoes of arrogance... that they were the stronger party and had no need to listen to their words?

Nora Alstreim straightaway surrendered? It shouldn't be... unless she arrived at the conclusion that they had already been cornered!

Indeed, Nora Alstreim already figured out that they were completely cornered! With the Ancestor on Claire's side, there was no need for her to consider whether if they would be saved or not! Due to her prejudice against the Ancestor, she knew for a fact that she and her family would not be saved!

Even though it should be mainly for the transgressions they have committed over the happenings of internal affairs, she knew that it had accumulated to a point where it became a deeply punishable offense! Therefore, instead of relying on someone else, she chose to use herself!

”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.
