Chapter 1019 Faked
Elder Zeno Alstreim’s expression suddenly beca odd, "I assu you still have the Imagery Stone with you, or have you ended up disposing of it long ago?"
"I still have it with ..." Imth Alstreim tapped her waist and spread open her palm wide.
An Imagery Stone appeared on her palm from the spatial belt she had hidden under her robe over her waist. She had kept this Imagery Stone so that she could use this to later fra Nora Alstreim, but so far, she hadn’t seen such an opportunity arrive in front of her sight.
Looking at Elder Zeno Alstreim stare at her dubiously, she promptly activated the Imagery Stone to show that she still had it with her.
A projection appeared and ford the image of a room, along with a majestic chair that looked like a throne of a ruler, and seated over it was a beauty that could cause the fall of a kingdom, her expression proud while her lips were widened into a curve, a smirk hanging on it.
It was none other than Nora Alstreim!
She gracefully put her leg over the other and spoke.
"Claire... The fact that you are watching this recording ans that you received my parting gift."
"Do you feel hopeless? Despairing? Anguished? Perhaps, deep pain in your soul?"
There was a slight pause, along with a clear sneer from Nora Alstreim’s lips.
"Don’t resent , okay? Ti and ti again, I treated you with respect, but since you don’t seem to know your place, I had no choice but to do this to you."
"If you feel reluctant, why don’t you try to get back to the Alstreim Family again and take this matter to the Disciplinary Hall? However, without even a single piece of evidence, what can you do to ? What can you do against my family? As for revenge?"
Nora Alstreim’s lips curved into a mocking smile, "Are you even worthy?"
"Let’s not talk about that because first, you have to survive from those barbarians. Truth be told, I’m rather excited to see if you’re going to be killed or violated by one of them-"
"Very good! I knew there would be uses in keeping this with us!" Elder Zeno Alstreim exclaid in excitent.
’I have to admit that I’m rather skilled in imitating won when using illusions!’
He was convinced by his own illusory performance. He mused that if he had no mory of this, even he would start to suspect Nora Alstreim’s integrity!
Nora Alstreim nodded her head and kept the half-finished Imagery Stone back inside her spatial belt.
"Nevertheless, I just heard this news from Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim. That idiot was extrely happy that Nora Alstreim managed to obtain the favor of the Dragon Queen, earning the qualifications to beco her subordinate."
"What!?" Imth Alstreim practically scread in reluctance and as well as rage as her brows narrowed. If this truly occurred, then wouldn’t her plan to seduce Alchemist Davis and have him take revenge against Nora Alstreim as well as others who used her fail!?
Elder Zeno Alstreim chuckled, "She had just earned the qualifications, not the instant right to beco a subordinate. Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim said that it would take so months for her to return, so that would an that she is being tested right now."
"Before Nora Alstreim could beco a true subordinate, your job is to make contact with Alchemist Davis and ’expose’ Nora Alstreim’s wrongdoings. This way, even the Dragon Queen would feel disgusted that she might instantly vilify her, or perhaps even slay her!"
’Then we’ll watch as both Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim, and the Dragon Queen tear apart each other!’ Both Imth Alstreim and Elder Zeno Alstreim thought in glee, but both had different intent behind their actions.
"Rember, the other Elders and Grand Elders are already starting to get fidgety, trying to get their talented daughters or granddaughters to acquire the favor of Alchemist Davis. So if you let this chance slip by..." Elder Zeno Alstreim’s flashed with a cold warning again, but Imth Alstreim didn’t seem to be shaken at all but was smiling with a burst of confidence.
Looking at Imth Alstreim’s expression, Elder Zeno Alstreim snorted in relief, "I assu you know what to do hereafter, so only contact
if you have anything important to say. Us being in contact is dangerous as it would raise many questions, but..."
"People would obliviously think we have an affair rather than a father-daughter relationship! Hahaha!" Elder Zeno Alstreim laughed as he turned back and left the room.
Imth Alstreim also seed to be laughing, but the mont Elder Zeno Alstreim left, her laughter died down as ca to possess a cold impression.
’Laugh, laugh all you can while using , father, because I’ll be leaking that it was all your fault to Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim after I have obtained Alchemist Davis’s favor. I’ll be heading towards a bright future with him while two Grand Elders would target you, and you absolutely wouldn’t expect this move of mine because you think that you still have control over ...’
"Hehe... Hehehe... Hahahaha!!!"
Imth Alstreim started to giggle slowly before her laughter turned into a full-blown crazy one!

In the Purple Guest Palace, the eighteenth floor.
Davis heaved a heavy sigh as he clenched his fists in reluctance as soon as he heard, ’The matter that was orchestrated by us!’.
The conversation further that didn’t even have a regard for his mother basically proved his vague initial doubts over the matter!
He was fooled... They were all fooled!
It beca apparent that it was not Nora Alstreim and her family who backstabbed Claire Alstreim, but it was Imth Alstreim and her father, Elder Zeno Alstreim!
Just a while ago, he did think if half-believing in Nora Alstreim’s words ant distrusting his mother, but he failed to think what if his mother’s own story might be flawed in the sense that his mother might’ve been be fooled into believing Nora Alstreim was the one who sched against her in the past!
An event seen from one point of view gives one impression. When seen from another point of view, it gives quite a different impression. But it’s only when you see the whole picture; you can fully understand what’s going on!
He was able to consider a scenario like this at the ti of saving Natalya and Agis Stirlander because he had seen it from an outside perspective! But he was unable to do so when it ca to his mother’s revenge because he had overly believed his mother and deeply trusted her that she wouldn’t lie to him.
It was true that she didn’t lie to him, but what could he do if she herself was fooled in the beginning?
There was no use thinking about this now...
Even if Princess Isabella hasn’t stopped him from entering that room, he would have no valid reason to stop his mother from torturing Nora Alstreim until he knew it was all Imth Alstreim’s and Zeno Alstreim’s doing!
It was all too late!
Although Ancestor Dian Alstreim advised that Nora Alstreim should be in good health, would Claire have the leisure or the mind to care about Ancestor Dian Alstreim’s words? Right now, he could imagine that a river of blood should be flowing in that makeshift torture room!
Even then, Davis held on to that faint glimr of hope that mother shouldn’t have started by now but just kept interrogating Nora Alstreim for answers.
He quickly moved from the hall and opened up the door to the room!
