Chapter 1258: Explain Yourself...! (2/2)

Davis shook his head, ”I'm just warning your father. It is him who would decide what I would do him after we leave this place.”

”Don't say that...” Niera shook her head as tears fell, ”I wish we would not fight anymore.”

Davis's heart softened, but he didn't say anything to her and instead looked at Nero Alstreim.

”You heard your daughter. I don't wish for struggle as the issue back in the family was already settled. I just hope that you won't start it again when I take you and your people back.”

Nero Alstreim lowered his head as he began to think and contemplate in all seriousness. The amount of information he had to swallow was small, but the content was significant that he couldn't carelessly believe the words that came from Davis's mouth.

After a while of silence, he couldn't help but stay.

”Still, she was only repenting for a careless mistake and her grandparents who took care of her like father and mother. You all went too far...”

”Too far?”

Davis's eyes narrowed with dislike.

”Nero, she almost killed my mother with her ignorance while Weiss Alstreim ruined Edgar Alstreim's life with the spoiled help from Grand Elder Elise Alstreim. Your daughter and Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim carelessly let in two Yantra Family spies who were plotting the collapse of the Alstreim Family. Don't you think that this bit of remorse and repentance is in order?”

Nero Alstreim became stunned.

Her daughter's mistake had almost caused his mother to die? His lips quivered.

”But-”

”My mother was extremely merciful...!” Davis's sapphire eyes turned sharp as a strand of soul force almost shot out, ”Don't test our patience as we're already doing our best to maintain peace instead of massacring like we initially planned to...”

Nero Alstreim's heart trembled as he felt a chill up his spine!

What was this feeling of reverence he felt just now as if it was something that came from his soul? It felt weird, but it only lasted a moment. Still, everything he had heard was too much to process that he stayed mute.

Davis promptly calmed down, realizing that he had become too emotional at that moment.

”I wanted you to know all of this so you won't lose your mind but be prepared when you return to the Alstreim Family.” He let out a breath and before reaching out his hand towards Niera, who looked at him with complex emotions while shedding tears. He wiped her tears away and held her cheek.

”I apologize for scaring you, but I have made things clear now...”

Davis returned his gaze towards Nero Alstreim, ”I can bring you out, along with your wife, but as for your grandpa and all others, they would have to wait.”

”What? Why?”

Nero Alstreim was ecstatic inside as he felt some kind of hope after seeing the magical beast and believed that Davis's words had some truth to it but now, why wasn't the others allowed, especially his grandfather Ezekiel Alstreim was not allowed?

”You already heard it when you were listening to our conversation...”

”You...! I just got there and wasn't sure of what you were talking about! I was more worried about how you were taking advantage of my daughter!” Nero Alstreim's face flushed red in shame, but his expression quickly became solemn.

”Tell me, or I can't be assured...”

Davis inwardly sighed, wondering why he had to explain more, but when he looked at Niera's hopeful expression, he opened his mouth.

”That's because your grandpa's wife is in prison for the wrongs that she had committed by ignorantly helping that scum Weiss. Do you think he's going to stand by and watch? No, because from the way you all acted when you're going to sacrifice each other, I already know the answer. It would be obvious that Ezekiel Alstreim would seek revenge. But if it is after a month, Grand Elder Elise Alstreim's sentence would've ended, and he would not be able to hold a grudge against my family.”

Davis waved his hand, ”It is simple as that...”

”I see...” Nero Alstreim nodded, understanding but not really believing in it as he turned to look at Niera.

”Niera, do you really love him?”

Niera, who seemed to have calmed down, gently nodded her head, ”I want him, father. I can no longer imagine a world without him.”

Nero Alstreim became mortified. Such words wouldn't be normally said without reason, and he believed that his daughter wouldn't simply say such a thing without conviction, so the most likely reason he could think was that they had already done the deed with each other.

If that was the case, he felt like that there was nothing he could do to save her in case if Davis was really deceiving her. He couldn't help but wryly ask.

”What makes you believe him so much that you would declare your love for him like this...?” His tone was additionally tinged with helplessness and worry, realizing that it was time that he should let go of her.

Niera Alstreim blinked, wondering why she spouted such words herself. She lowered her head and contemplated and suddenly remembered that time. Taking a deep breath, she raised her head and spoke.
