Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 673: Seems Like A Plan

"It's quite simple..."Davis echoed as his words trailed off."You just have to tell the Alstreim Family's Envoy that it was your second brother who had impersonated you...""What!?" Alexi Ethren momentarily became stunned.Hearing the other party's voice which seemed to be solemn and not jesting, he became stunned again before he connected the dots!"Is the impostor Second Prince!?" Alexi Ethren asked as his eyes widened.Davis nodded his head, "They must be thinking that I haven't managed to identify the impostor's face but it's too bad that they underestimated my skills in investigating through soul sense.""The one who tried to frame you is none other than your own second brother, Keith Ethren."Alexi Ethren's expression became ugly as he clenched his teeth in anger. Somehow, he didn't doubt this point as he too felt that his second brother always looked as if he was always scheming something.In fact, he knew that his first brother and second brother didn't look eye to eye at each other since they were aiming for the throne, having the same conflicting interests. He didn't doubt that they might even go far as to kill each other for the throne.However, he, Alexi Ethren hadn't even taken part in the race to the throne! He and his subordinates did nothing yet they were all almost framed!They hadn't even contested for the throne but they were schemed against regardless of their intentions! This was basically forcing them to fight for the throne or die!The was also another way out but that was to become servile! Follow current on novelenglish.net

"Law Sea Stage undulations have erupted in this northeast region, hence, the lord of this region, one of the Royal Protectors will arrive in a few minutes to check if the matter has been resolved..." Alexi Ethren muttered and turned to look back."Yen, check if entry is allowed into the Second Prince's Royal Palace. If they're giving an excuse and refuse to let you in, then instantly report it to me.""Yes!" Alchemist Yen exclaimed with fervor.Finally! The Third Prince could oversee their dire straits.Alexi Ethren turned to look at his another subordinate and moved his mouth, "Agis...""Yes!?" Agis Stirlander became nervous and guilty upon hearing his highness's voice. He couldn't even see eye to eye as he lowered his head.Alexi Ethren wanted to berate Agis Stirlander for his lack of awareness against disguises and illusions, even going as far as to be gullible enough to invite a disaster for him.But in the end, he understood that it was so his fault for secluding himself in an important time such as the Conferred King Tournament and coronation of the new Emperor in two months.He did come out once when his Royal Father called him for having a 'friendly' chat about enriching diplomatic relations with the Alstreim Family along with his two brothers.At that time, he came as soon as left, so he had just returned again to seclude himself in cultivation, all for the sake of accomplishing his goal.However, his actions were precisely for this reason! He had to seclude himself, even going as far as to not talk with his subordinates for the sake of achieving his goal! Even his master's revenge was laying on his shoulders!Alexi Ethren couldn't help but sigh, "You saw through the impostor's facade and cooperated with the Conferred Queen. You have done well as a result since you didn't push me off the cliff in the end.""Just rest for a few days and take care of your granddaughters. I will take care of the problem..."

Agis Stirlander's eyes couldn't help but moisten up as he felt guilt tug his heart. He muttered, "Your Highness..."Alexi Ethren then turned to look at the Conferred Queen before moving his gaze to her protector as he felt her be incredibly dazzling. Inwardly, he felt stunned but also knew that it was no time to be admiring a beauty. It was especially the case when the beauty was the one who was in the position of convicting him."What about the identity of the black shadow person?"Davis shook his head, "He is too powerful. If he is probably with Keith Ethren in the Royal Palace, then your subordinate might die..."He even gave a word of warning, feeling that the Third Prince was rather a good person. With all these people praising and placing the Third Prince on a pedestal, he felt that it should be the case unless there was something ominous or mysterious about him.Alexi Ethren widened his eyes. He initially considered it but felt that nothing would happen in one of the Royal Palaces. After all, the Royal Palaces was a place heavily guarded, overseen by the Royal Protectors.He instructed, "Yen, don't force yourself inside. Just ask for an audience and wait for me. I'll bring with me the Alstreim Family for an investigation..."'Seems like a plan...' Davis inwardly commented.He watched them discuss for a while before thinking of leaving. However, feeling that Natalya could be implicated in this mess, he considered for second before he suddenly spoke."Agis Stirlander... I have heard that my Young Mistress's subordinate Alchemist Davis and your first granddaughter are fond of each other and vowed to marry?"Before Agis Stirlander could even reply, Alexi Ethren looked inwardly shaken before he turned to look at Agis."What!? Is that true!?" Agis Stirlander became stunned for a second. He glanced at the Conferred Queen's Protector before looking at Alexi Ethren, "Your Highness, it is indeed true...""My granddaughter has fallen for that man... Alchemist Davis Loret, who initially seemed to be Alchemist Scythe who had helped her survive in the Tripartite Alliance Territory." Follow current on storynovel.net

Alexi Ethren's eyes brightened before he laughed, "So that's what it is... So they have a past..."Agis Stirlander couldn't help but smile wryly, 'Indeed, if it weren't for their history, I would have doubted their intentions as well...'After all, Alchemist Davis could have made a move on Natalya after knowing that she is skilled in Yin Laws but judging by how they acted, it didn't seem to be the case as Natalya looked as if she were head over heels for Alchemist Davis.Seeing how Alchemist Davis had helped him in this endeavor, aiding him in uncovering the impostor's identity, he rather felt felicitous and heartened of his grandson-in-law."Since you don't have the ability to protect yourself, especially your granddaughter from these assailants, I suggest sending your granddaughter to the Conferred Queen's residence for the time being."Agis Stirlander's expression changed, "This...""If you are worried about the propriety or her safety, then I'll give you my word that I'll safeguard her until their...""Mighty Expert, with these words, I can rest assured..." Agis Stirlander sighed as he stated. He felt reluctant but as the other party said, he really didn't have the ability to protect his granddaughter.This entire matter of being framed began with his fallacy of believing an impostor to be the Third Prince. Hence, he felt that sending Natalya to them might be appropriate and safe.Davis inwardly smiled as he gained what he wanted. With this, he could bring her to his residence and engage in marriage distancing, where the groom and the bride shouldn't have any contact for the few days before marriage.Davis imperceptibly blinked. 'Yeah, distancing...'As if he's going to follow his own words said through a fake persona... 'That's likely not gonna happen...' Davis inwardly lampooned.However..."Does the Third Prince have a problem?" Davis asked in a deep voice as he noticed the change in his expression when he mentioned him and Natalya.
