Chapter 1247: I Got Rejected (2/2)

”I may not know anything, but I can at least say that you aren't an enemy to us because if you can kill those Infernal Lightning Palace people, then you can kill us too! If you haven't done it, then that means that you have a good reason to do all this, and since you didn't take advantage of me, I will believe that your words and actions are done for the family's sake!”

”What...?”

”Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! I hate you for making me feel confused like this!!!”

Niera Alstreim flew away as she wiped her tears with her sleeves, making Davis watch her leave with a dumbfounded expression on his face. He didn't follow her but still followed her with his soul sense, making sure that she doesn't do something stupid yet right such as telling them about this mess.

'Wait, I guess that it's fine because the trial doesn't matter anymore as I've come to know their decisions...'

If they hadn't taken decisions like that, a little woman like Niera Alstreim wouldn't have come to make a hasty decision like coming to his place and offering herself on a platter to him without much-solidified feelings. As she said, she probably just wanted to experience one of the joys of being born a human before she died, and she simply chose him because he was perhaps the one who stirred tender feelings inside her for who knows what reason.

Davis thought but still followed her with his soul sense, wondering what she would do.

Niera Alstreim flew back to the tiny town that they had built in this week. She quickly made it as soon as possible but had already wiped away the traces of tears on her face. However, as soon as she arrived, she was spotted by her father, who came to her side.

”Niera, why are your eyes red? You look as if you just cried...” Nero Alstreim narrowed his eyes before he recalled that she had been visiting Davis Alstreim every day now. His expression suddenly changed.

”Could it be, that brat-”

”I got rejected...” Niera Alstreim suddenly uttered as she kept her head lowered, ”I confessed and got rejected...”

”What!? How dare that bastard Davis be this rude towards you!?” Nero Alstreim's expression turned into one of anger that he couldn't help but inwardly curse.

'Don't you know how to properly turn down a woman's favor!? Damn you, Davis. Now, my daughter's heart was broken for the first time in her life...' He couldn't help but feel pain in her stead.

He knew that this would eventually happen, but thinking that Davis protected the promise to protect Niera instead of taking advantage of her innocent feelings, he inwardly nodded in appreciation but still kept his face as if he was angered.

Davis, who was listening to them, became shocked that she didn't reveal the truth, ”Damn it, what's going on in her mind? Don't tell me she's going to ruin my plan again even though I haven't planned anything ahead than this...?”

He inwardly sweated, wondering what she had in store for him. But just because of this, he started feeling that she wasn't bad. The aphrodisiac she used was definitely one of those used for intimate nightly affairs and not the deadly ones that would make them crazed for lust, making them have no control over their body other than wanting to seek pleasure.

It meant that she was aware that he might push her away as well because a Law Manifestation Stage Expert can still control themselves in front of the aphrodisiac she used.

If she had used the deadly ones, which he doubted if she could obtain, but if she did have and use it against him, he might've really taken her on the spot.

At this moment, he didn't have the confidence to defend against a deadly aphrodisiac. It had been more than seven months since he dual cultivated that he felt that he was beginning to near his limit. His dragon blood was boiling in anticipation that Nadia's silhouette couldn't help but pop up in his mind.

”...”

Davis felt a chill up his spine as he quickly shook his head and suppressed these thoughts.

'What the fuck!? Why did I think of Nadia right now!?' Davis felt his heart pound a bit erratically.

By all right, it should've been Evelynn, Natalya, or Isabella he should be fantasizing about! Was it because that Nadia was the only woman by his side in this sealed space that he could help but feel strange thoughts about her?

He blamed the aphrodisiac's aftereffects for making him feel like this as he listened to their conversation.

Keira Alstreim and Ezekiel Alstreim also appeared at this moment as if sensing something was wrong with Niera Alstreim.
