Divine Emperor of Death

"Mira! You do not know what you're talking about…! Come back here!"

After Isabella and the others come out of their reveries, Isabella commanded with a heavy voice.

"No!~"

Mira appeared stubborn as she hunched against Isabella, "Mistress, I know you're dejected that you could no longer keep up with your first sister and fifth sister but isn't this exactly the opportunity that you require to soar!?"

Her words caused Evelynn and Shirley to subconsciously lower their heads. Originally, Isabella had been way stronger than them, but now, they had left her in the dust. Evelynn had an Emperor-Tier Inheritance, while Shirley came to possess two inheritances that allowed her to use Icefire Laws.

Although it wasn't their fault, they felt that it was unfair to Isabella, who prided herself in her strength. They were not surprised to hear that Isabella's emotions were dejected over this matter but still felt guilty a bit.

"Mira…" Isabella's expression became one of pleading, "How can I become strong in your suffering? I understand your emotions of wanting to help me, but you're not thinking right. Strength can be obtained later-"

"Mistress, who said that I can't endure suffering? I'm a proud Earth Dragon who would endure the weight of thousands of mountains! I will not surrender even if death arrives before me!"

"You-!"

Isabella appeared speechless and angered while Davis watched them go back and forth.

Isabella was like a mother deeply worried about her child. He could see that their relationship was just not something of a pet and a master. They were more like sisters in his perspective.

Moreover, he recalled how Mira had protected him before when he was incapacitated, unable to wake up. On top of Nadia, Mira had been protecting the palace at that time with Isabella, her big stature as an Earth Dragon striking fear into the hearts of many.

That's why many people called Isabella the Earth Dragon Queen, coming to know about her, while even the Vast Sky Emperor went after her. If he could subdue Isabella, then the Earth Dragon would also belong to him. Perhaps, he had the same plan, to extract blood essences and become strong himself.

"Mira, I understand that you have given your consent."

Davis abruptly spoke up, causing them to turn their attention toward him.

"However, Isabella is your Mistress. Without her consent, I will not do anything to you, and it is clear that she doesn't want to harm you, so obediently listen to your mistress. The mental anguish we would receive through enacting this method is not worth it, and I do not wish to become a villain in Isabella's eyes."

"My Emperor~" Isabella's eyes churned with tears, "How can I ever look at you in that kind of light? I know you're doing this for us as the Earth Dragon Blood is simply no use for you, but I can't simply stand harming someone close to us. It's my stubbornness that-"

"I know." Davis couldn't help but smile, "There's a reason I fell in love with you after Evelynn, Isabella."

Isabella was always the protective one. Even in the derailed fate where their relationship had gone awry due to Clara's tragic death, she couldn't kill him despite being capable of it.

This woman simply wasn't capable of harming her loved ones; she would rather hurt herself.

Hearing Davis's words, Isabella became stunned before she lightly blushed, heartened that Davis trusted her. However, feeling that his words were somewhat controversial amongst his harem, Davis explained further.

"The third woman I fell in love with was Natalya. She seduced me into loving her, and I craved it. If it weren't for her, I probably wouldn't have gone after you or anyone else boldly."

Isabella slightly nodded as she remembered that she was reserved and didn't deign to snatch a married man as it went against her values, but he shattered that veil and claimed her.

"So I'm the fourth…?" Shirley pouted, causing Davis to chuckle.

"Well, I don't know when I started loving you amidst introspecting my mistake of blaming you and loving Fiora, Sophie and Niera. It was only clear after I met you again in the Burning Phoenix Ridge. However, you could be said to be my second woman as you were my second kiss if that helps..."

"Smooth talker~" Shirley giggled.

"What a charmer you are..." Isabella also giggled as an alluring expression appeared on her face, "I'm grateful that you're still the Davis I loved."

"Even if I got many women, my core wouldn't change." Davis shrugged, "Alright, about those Earth Dragon Eggs-"

"No!"

Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice and saw that it was Mira. She had her hands folded, appearing obstinate, although her bosoms perked up, causing Davis to raise his brows.

"I belong to my mistress, but master, I also belong to you as mistress has married you. Mistress even said that I can't go against master's advances if master made a move on me, so by going that logic-."

"Mira!-" Isabella's expression turned red.

"- if master wishes for me to give my blood essences to others, then I will abide by it..."

"What did you say?" Davis blinked.

"Master has just as much as control over me as mistress does. This is according to mistress's own words~ I'm not lying~"

"No, what did you say before that...?"

Mira blinked before she blinked, her cheeks producing a blush as she looked away, suddenly realizing that she had told something she was supposed to have kept silent about. However, she clenched her teeth and tried to look at Davis, only to see his feet.

"We dragons worship the strong and… I don't mind being embraced by master."

"…" Davis was at a loss for words.

On the other hand, Evelynn and Shirley looked at each other with some amusement in their eyes, while Nadia simply stared at Mira with her purplish-golden eyes, her lips slightly curving with the same amusement as she didn't find this matter surprising at all.

Receiving the stares, Mira became increasingly nervous, wondering if she had said something wrong that she tried to explain herself as her hands shook in the air.

"In fact, I even slightly yearned when master held mistress a few months ago. Master also said that magical beasts weren't safe from you, which means that I wasn't safe from you, no? Wasn't that implicitly stating that I belong to you?"

Davis's lips twitched. He was kidding about that line. Did she take it seriously?

However, looking at her bosoms sway as she tried to explain herself, Davis pointed at her and raised one of his brows.

"Mira, are you seducing me right now?"

"…!"
