After things settled down a bit, Nadia was a.s.signed a room, but she didn"t stay in it and instead roamed around the estate in her Magical Beast form. It was obvious that Nadia wanted to explore the human world.

Davis, Evelynn, and Natalya didn"t leave her alone but mounted on her back, especially the two women, as they wanted to try riding on her. When they felt her majestic dark fur coat and realized that they were riding on a King-Tier Lord Beast Stage Magical Beast, they became ecstatic.

Their reactions were nothing but screaming and yelling as they squealed and even went as far as to enact "mountain bandits riding on a wolf". The three of them sat on Nadia, parading around as they took a short trip around the estate.

Davis had also gotten some chance to introduce Nadia to his parents, grand uncle, and even the two guests. Their expressions of shock when they learned Nadia is a King-Tier Magical Beast was a sight to behold!

It certainly made him proud, but Nadia was the one who was most proud of strutting off her queenly status.

Once Nadia had enough of showing off, she flung her dark twin-tails by the side and returned to their residence. She just wanted to see and familiarize herself with who were all in this estate, so she doesn"t accidentally kill a person familiar to her master, but who would"ve thought that her master and mistresses would hitch a ride on her like infant wolfs?

Nadia just shook her head, but she was proud of being about to do the duties of a magical beast mount. She felt burdened by the number of times her master had helped and saved her, so serving him like this also brought her satisfaction and a sense of happiness in her heart.

After entering the residence, Davis was just about to relax and preferably jump into the embrace of his two wives to feel their love when he suddenly felt three mighty and impressive undulations gather in front of the estate"s entrance.

He frowned, wondering who could they be when he abruptly noticed that two people neared the entrance from inside his estate. He recognized their undulations as his eyes blinked in response, "Alexi Ethren and Arianna Woller?"

"Could it be that they recognize those three undulations outside the estate?"

He told his wives and Nadia to stay inside while he went out. Princess Isabella didn"t come out, but he knew that she had completely secluded herself in cultivation after helping his mother absorb the High-Level King Grade Fire Essence.

Perhaps, the reason she didn"t come out, lay within the fact that she knew that he held the estate, their estate, and that probably let her mind cultivate in peace.

The others didn"t stick out their heads as they were all aware that they would be making things worse when faced with an Eighth Stage Expert, much less when there"s three of them outside.

Besides, they more or less knew that there were four Eighth Stage slaves to protect the residence. At this point, being visited by Eighth Stage Experts became so common that they lost interest in adversely reacting towards it.

Davis, along with the avatar that secluded itself in another room, made itself concealed as they exited the residence and flew towards the entrance.

Davis"s main body wasn"t concealed, and when he neared the entrance, the huge gate was already opened from the inside, and what appeared in his sight was some people he vaguely recognized.

"It"s them..."

The four Imperial Protectors who came to the Sunset Tear Mountain yesterday only to be scared away by him; when he disguised himself as the Conferred Queen"s Protector to be exact.

However, only three out of the four Imperial Protectors were present here.

Just when he wondered why they were here, the three Imperial Protectors all kneeled on the ground before they pleaded with sorrowful expressions on their faces, making Davis blink in confusion and surprise.

"Third Prince, we appeal for your glorious return!"

"We know that we have all wronged you, but there is no other Prince who possesses the cultivation or the talent to become the Emperor!"

"We implore you with all our sincerity, your highness! Please return and become the new Emperor of our Ethren Empire!"

Alexi Ethren looked at all these old farts uttering nonsense to him. He couldn"t help but sneer, "What? Is my first brother ruining relations.h.i.+ps with the other Empires? Or did he do something even stupid like offending the Alstreim Family?"

The three Imperial Protectors all shook their heads in lament before their faces all became either sorrowful or ugly.

Alexi Ethren narrowed his eyes at their reaction and felt somewhat doubtful. The new Emperor, Hadre Ethren, was just coronated. What was the need for him to re-enter the imperial scene, even going as far as to become the new Emperor of the Ethren Empire?

"What would the reasons be..." He descended into speculation.

Arianna Woller stood silently behind him with a black veil covering her face, only revealing her lush black eyes and reddish-brown hair. She was also clothed in black robes, but it was not plain but patterned with white flames. She didn"t say anything but just listened as her son, and the Imperial Protectors conversed.

Davis arrived at this point and walked past Arianna Woller as their gazes met before he arrived beside Alexi Ethren.

"What"s wrong? If this is a family dispute, have it somewhere else. You"re all causing a disturbance in the Conferred Queen"s estate..." Davis spoke in an annoyed tone.

However, when he realized that the big shots of the Ethren Empire were kneeling in front of his residence that he bought from them in their own turf, he knew that he had come a long way! This was part of the reason why people strived for cultivation, and Davis could finally realize that in a deeper way.

Alexi Ethren instantly became embarra.s.sed. It was precisely because of this that he arrived quickly to intercept these people since he had recognized their familiar undulations. He knew that they had overstayed in this estate, but he didn"t know any other safe place, and besides, he was still considering if he should subordinate himself to the Conferred Queen.

As for becoming the Protector"s Disciple, there was no need to think about that as he knew that he wouldn"t be accepted.

He awkwardly laughed, "Haha, Alchemist Davis, this isn"t a family dispute. These people all tried to capture and execute me in the past. They are no family. Just expel them in the name of the Conferr-"

"Your Highness, we seek your return! We implore you to forgive our wrongs!"

"Yes! We can kowtow to prove our sincerity!"

The one who had spoken first and the other who hadn"t spoken yet looked at the one who uttered that sentence in shock!

Even Alexi Ethren looked at the person who uttered that in disbelief!

This old fart just agreed to kowtow to him? What was happening in this world?

The one who hadn"t spoken yet clenched his teeth in shame before he got out with it!

"Your Highness! The Emperor is dead! The Alstreim Family has executed the Emperor!"

"You!!"

"Merkel!!"

"What!?"

While the two Imperial Protectors pointed at Merkel Ethren for leaking the information, Alexi Ethren looked at Merkel Ethren in disbelief. Even Davis and Arianna Woller became taken aback at this explosive information.
