Divine Emperor of Death

A few minutes before Lucia had chosen to enter the Royal Palace along with Glyn while Nina followed Young Master Baris's entourage.

In the air, stood two masked figures as they floated above the inn. A black transparent gaseous matter covered their bodies, making them invisible to the eyes and senses of the weak.

"Why are we not initiating contact with the ones you want to help?" One of the masked figures spoke with a feminine voice. Her tone was exasperated as if she was waiting for a long time.

It was none other than Princess Isabella. 

She wore a golden raven shaped mask and the one who was beside her wore the same mask on their face.

"Because that would invite complications in whatever they're planning. I would rather stay away from them and only help if the situation needs me to step in..." Davis spoke in a lazy tone.

If possible, Davis didn't want to make contact with them as it would only hold down his group.

However, a favor was a favor. He felt that he must return it back.

Princess Isabella heaved a sigh and her expression which was calm looked exasperated.

After negotiating with Princess Isabella, Davis informed the others and left Theo Inn after an hour. However, they too stuck close by and the entire group chose to stick together with him, including Hadian, Mulia, and her Uncle, Erik. 

Davis did travel for some time and managed to discover Lucia's group with his Soul Sense, and ever since that, he had been tailing them along with the others. He felt bad for making them follow behind him but his parents supported his actions which made him relaxed.

Finally, they had followed them into the capital of the Loseris Kingdom. Davis told the others to stay hidden in some inconspicuous place and they did as told to. Then...

With Princess Isabella, he proceeded to follow Lucia's group to this Inn.

Truthfully, it had been incredibly boring for them.

This was the reason why Princess Isabella had been exasperated and wanted to end this farce by making contact. However, the help she promised to give was negotiated into a business transaction, so she felt she had no say in this matter.

Hence, she was stuck with Davis while following them.

"If you're not willing, then forget it." Davis simply spoke.

"I had already received more than half of the payment so why would I go back on my words?" Princess Isabella shook her head.

Being exasperated was one thing, and, fulfilling the end of the deal was another. She felt that one must not involve emotions when doing something for gaining wealth.

Davis inwardly laughed as he got the reaction he wanted from her with his provocation.

This woman was simply prideful, self-confident, assertive, decisive, and self-aware. However, he didn't know if she had integrity; to back her words. It was just a test, yet she told if she said that she would do something, then she would do it.

This obviously told him that she was a woman of integrity; a woman of her words. 

And this fact was also revealed when she chose to not fly away but defeat the Seventh Stage Cultivators with him, even going far as to kill them in the battle.

The impression he held on her couldn't help but increase a bit from that time, after all, she had slighted him once and as a result, he still held a grudge for that before forgiving her. 

Knowing about this didn't do him any good, however, he could certainly use it to his advantage.

"There, they're leaving..." Davis suddenly spoke as he pointed at two black-robed figures.

"Only two of them? What about the other one?" 

Davis heard Princess Isabella's confused tone and answered, "They told her to stay since she's carrying a child in her."

Princess Isabella's distinct eyes widened in astonishment but she just nodded her head in reply.

Davis replied of the situation to her because he knew that she couldn't use her Peak-Level Infant Soul Stage to spy as there were plenty of chances that her low-level soul sense could be discovered by some people in an unforeseen circumstance which would further complicate their situation.

Even some random cultivators would feel offended if they knew that someone was spying on them, and much less needed to be said about if they were to be discovered by the people of Tripartite Alliance.

Even Davis himself was low-key and only chose to maintain his Soul Sense over the three of them with his Low-Level Mature Soul Stage Soul Forging Cultivation even when it could compare to High-Level Mature Soul Stage Cultivation.

In this region, he felt that there should be no Mature Soul Stage Cultivators!

Only in the Royal Xuan Capital City did he see Mature Soul Stage Cultivators which were none other than the elders of the Thousand Pill Association. However, these elders should be people from the Thousand Pill Palace Territory, so he wasn't perturbed by their Soul Forging Cultivation much.

Princess Isabella inwardly sighed at her Soul Forging Cultivation for the nth time after being with Davis. She couldn't help but feel inferior in a sense.

Yes, this was why she choose to adventure and stick together with Davis for the time being even though she was strong enough to traverse the Tripartite Alliance Territory by herself. 

She needed his knowledge in Soul Forging Cultivation to improve her own Soul Forging Cultivation.

Seventh Stage in Body Tempering Cultivation but Second Stage in Soul Forging Cultivation? If someone knew, they would undoubtedly laugh at her because of the wide gap between the two cultivation systems.

"Alright, let's follow them." Princess Isabella calmly spoke.

Davis nodded his head and shifted his Soul Sense over to the two of them who were moving towards the Royal Palace of the Loseris Capital.

Princess Isabella gave one last look towards the Inn before Davis and she began to follow them.

A few minutes passed as they tailed them.

Near the Royal Palace of the Loseris Kingdom.

Davis and Princess Isabella looked at the two of them were sneaking at the boundary walls of the Royal Castle.

Just when Davis thought of extending his Soul Sense over the whole Royal Palace a voice suddenly interrupted.

"Is she fine?"

Davis blinked as he turned confused, "Who?"

"The one they left behind..." 

Davis blinked rapidly but stopped, "How would I know, I'm not watching her with my soul sense anymore."

Princess Isabella blinked once before giving a nod.

'Could it be that she's worried about Nina? Because she has a baby?' Davis inwardly reflected and sighed.

He extended his Soul Sense and backtracked to the Inn Nina stayed but he froze as his eyes shot wide!

Nina wasn't there! Where did she go?

Princess Isabella looked at his peculiar reaction, so she asked out of curiosity, "What?"

"She's not there..." Davis slowly uttered.

"Who?" She asked.

"Nina, the one who you were worried about..."

Princess Isabella's eyes shot wide, "You said you weren't paying attention to her!?"

"I wasn't. I just checked now, and I cannot sense her presence anywhere in the Inn."

Princess Isabella narrowed her eyes while Davis hurriedly extended his Soul Sense from the Inn in all directions.

It stretched to a hundred kilometers and after a few seconds of sensing for familiar presences, he finally managed to find Nina.

"Found her... She's walking on the streets like she's touring the capital? No, she's following a group..."
