Chapter 2271: Nadia's lnvestigation

A veil-less Everlight stood before him.

She wore a pure-white robe, and her head was adorned by scintillating white hair, flowing behind her back. Her shapely nose along with her curved eyes caused her to look alluring while her crimson lips slightly parted before she retreated, making way for him as she bowed slightly.

“Please~”

Davis walked into the unit before he closed the door with a wave of his hand. He didn’t go sit but stood before her, looking at her lifting her head and matching gazes with him.

He was almost about to nod his head in approval when a dark ray of light emerged from his forehead and transformed into a purple-haired beauty with starkly different features than the white-haired beauty in front of him.

“Empress Nadia~”

Everlight instantly knelt as her gaze fell on the floor, not daring to match Nadia’s gaze.

“…”

To this, Davis couldn’t really say anything as Nadia was actively releasing her aura against Everlight, her legs moving as she walked around Everlight while her purplish-golden eyes stuck to Everlight’s kneeling figure.

“Everlight.”

“Yes, your highness?”

Everlight instantly responded to Nadia’s melodious yet commanding tone.

“You have explained your reasons but I’m still not convinced yet. What makes you think you can seduce my mate?”

“…”

It was Davis who turned to look at Nadia in shock although his expression stayed the same. On the other hand, Everlight seemed to quiver ever so lightly while there was no retaliation seen in her eyes as though this was normal.

Nadia folded her hands with an indifferent expression. She took a step to the side and started to walk around Everlight, her sharp eyes still staring at Everlight through the corner of her eyes.

“What gives you the qualifications to stand beside him?”

“I-“

‘Oh no.’ Davis’s gaze alternated between the two of them, ‘The pride Nadia kept suppressed is bursting out in front of a fellow wolf…’

“Moreover, you’re not a pure-blooded wolf, are you?”

Everlight was already trembling but this question made her freeze. A moment later, she took a deep breath and answered.

“I’m a mixed-blood wolf, indeed.”

“Mhmm~~~”

Nadia sounded unimpressed, causing Everlight’s trembling that had stopped to resume.

Davis glanced at the two of them one last time before he inwardly sighed.

The act of walking around Everlight was purely a domineering one that he couldn’t help but imagine a wolf cornering a rabbit even though they were both wolves.

“Nadia, that’s enough.”

Davis gestured, causing Nadia to finally stop in her tracks as she turned to look at Davis with an unbending gaze.

“I just want to make sure that she’s submissive and breedable to you, master.”

“B-Be-Breedable?”

Davis didn’t expect such words to escape from Nadia’s mouth but his lips couldn’t help but twitch in expectation. He slightly glanced at Everlight as he saw her tremble as she blushed but since she kept her head lowered, it formed a charm of its own.

However, Davis shook his head, coughing lightly.

“Nadia, remember your humble beginnings.”

Nadia’s eyes widened, recalling some memories before she turned to look at Everlight, blinking twice before she returned her gaze.

“I’ve overstepped my bounds, master. Please punish me.”

She slightly bowed when Davis came to stand before her, capturing her chin as she made her look up.

“Nadia, I think you have remembered your days of leading a wolf clan in the presence of another wolf. You are no longer that Nadia who was on her paws all the time, looking out for dangers and having to maintain order through stringent punishment. Isn’t that right?”

Nadia’s eyelids trembled before she smiled with a heartened expression on her face.

“Yes~”

Davis nodded with a satisfied expression, “Good.”

“That said…” Davis let go of Nadia and turned to look at Everlight, “If you are really here with some kind of ulterior motive, then you will be dealt with appropriately.”

“Emperor of Death, I swear.” Everlight turned her head to him as she anxiously opened her mouth, “I truly don’t have any ulterior motives.”

“Oh?” Davis found something strange, that she was lying.

However, looking at her anxious expression, he felt that she most likely telling the truth, which meant that the only ulterior motive he could derive from her emotions was: hiding her affection for him.

‘You want to pretend like you only made this choice because of the deal?’

“I swear. I’d rather die than harm your eminence!”

Just as Davis wryly thought and was about to ask, Everlight waved her hand as she narrowed her eyes but then realizing that she had overstepped her bounds, she lowered her head again.

“My apologies. I didn’t mean to raise my voice.”

Davis stared at Everlight for a few seconds before he eyed Nadia, causing her to retract her imperial aura and shoot an amused smile.

“Stand up, Everlight.”

Everlight nodded, finally feeling relaxed as the overwhelming aura retreated. She really couldn’t breathe under that kind of heavy pressure, finding it extremely difficult to voice out her thoughts.

“Now then, Everlight. I believe you’re a kind-hearted wolf, so tell me why you accepted the deal.”

Everlight’s face brightened over his compliment. However, she first took a deep breath before she moved her lips.

“First and foremost, having Empress Nadia with your eminence is the sign any female magical beast from the wolf species needs for them to see your eminence as a highly potential mate. I won’t shamelessly deny this fact, neither will I deny the allegations of seduction as I am practically trying to use myself to gain an apex existence for the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan in the First Haven World, including Empress Nadia.”

“Secondly, your eminence has saved us Magical Beast Sanctuary from the Grand Viridian Beast Mountain Range as well as allowed us to thrive to a point where I even received praises from my ancestor. Such a thing is not possible without your help. Moreover, I’m deeply grateful to Fairy Myria and your eminence for protecting the Magical Beast Sanctuary from those terrifying beasts that descended from the Calamity Light.”

“No amount of words could possibly relay my gratitude to you.”

Everlight bit her lips while Davis watched with interest before he couldn’t help but blink.

‘She was watching our battle from a distance at that time…?’

There were so many Vacuous Beasts and it must’ve been dangerous but she had remained and witnessed the battle, at least until the Immortal King Vacuous Beast showed up.

“Lastly, I know I am lacking but I swear I’ll cultivate and grow to the best of my ability while following the alpha’s rule without missing a beat. Please allow me to wait upon you and fulfill the expectations placed upon me, my liege.”

“…”

Davis became taken aback at the way she addressed him. Instead of husband or fiancee, she addressed him as liege, which meant that he owned her life from now on. At least, that was what he thought she meant, causing him to narrow his brows as he raised his hand.

“Say, if I’m going to plot against the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan, will you side with me?”

Everlight’s gaze shook before she answered a few seconds later.

“I have no emotional attachment to the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan but my ancestor is in it, receiving its graces. I can’t be… shameless, your eminence. My apologies but I can’t… side with you over that problem.”

“Alright, I see you have made your choice.”

*Bzzz!~*

“…!”

A lance made from heavenly lightning appeared in Davis’s grasp, causing Everlight’s eyes to widen in shock as she felt extreme prowess in it, one that would twist space outside. Her eyes trembled ever so lightly before she bit her lips, smiling with a sorrowful expression as she knelt.

“If that is my liege’s answer, I’ll graciously accept it.”

“Very well.”

Davis’s hand struck Everlight as the lance flashed into her body.

*Bang!~*

The floor shattered as the lance was gouged upon it, crackling with a mighty intensity enough to shatter the tile of the Mortal Hex Emperor Purple Palace.

“I don’t want betrayers either.”

Davis smiled at the dumbfounded Everlight whose gaze was on the heavenly lightning lance that didn’t pierce her but zig-zagged from her body and struck the ground behind her. He waited for her to calm down before their gazes matched.

“Then let me ask you one last time: What if the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan wants to harm me and my family? Whose side would you-“

“I will kill them without hesitation, my liege!”

Everlight’s expression instantly turned hostile, causing Davis’s smile to widen in satisfaction. He snapped his finger, causing the heavenly lightning lance to disappear before he grabbed Everlight’s hand, pulling her up.

“Till now, you’re affiliated with the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan but from this moment forth, you’re mine in heart and soul.”

“…”

Everlight was tongue-tied, still looking into his eyes while Davis shook his head.

“I won’t ask for your body. However, if you’re going to be with me, then you must prove your usefulness. Are you prepared to die for me?”

Everlight came out of her reverie before she solemnly answered.

“Ever since I volunteered to remain behind and seek your eminence’s acceptance, I am prepared to die.”

“Good. Let’s form a pact together.”

“Yes…”

Everlight’s gaze became passionate, unwittingly revealing her feelings towards him.

Davis looked away slightly before he returned his gaze, starting to form a Transitory Beast Taming Pact with her, causing her to be able to live in his soul sea while they felt intrinsically connected.

With Everlight feeling overjoyed at gaining what she wanted and was expected of, Davis also had things to gain.

He felt that Isabella’s Earth Dragon Clan and Shirley’s Fire and Ice Phoenix Clans couldn’t be that reliable. After all, he was already wary of the overbearing dragon families and as for the phoenix families, other than Ancestor Cornelia and Lea Weiss, every other family line like Rein and even Weiss was a letdown.

But on the other hand, his experience with wolves although not the best was far different.

Nadia, although on edge, knew how to make the correct decisions back then when she was a Clan Leader and was even somewhat kind amidst the wildness, able to sympathize greatly. As for Everlight, she was the most charismatic magical beast leader that he had ever seen although she tends to become meek in front of gratitude, which is not really a weakness but a loyal character trait in his books that he expected.

As for kneeling in front of Nadia, he was aware that all wolves below or the same species rank would have the urge to kneel even if kings and emperors weren’t showing off their aura. He even saw the Light Sky Wolf Immortal lightly tremble in Nadia’s presence so what needs to be said about the other normal wolves?

Davis really couldn’t see what disadvantage having Everlight with him had while he also needed some kind of backer to use as an anchor or barrier to establishing himself.

From how the Light Sky Wolf Immortal touted her power, he felt that there must be at least one Immortal King in that power.

But most importantly, Everlight embodied Light while Nadia embodied Darkness.

If Nadia mutated, was there any reason Everlight couldn’t?

After all, Fallen Heaven just didn’t have death energy but also life energy. He refused to believe a mutation wouldn’t happen after Everlight consumes enough life energy through the Transitory Beast Taming Pact!
