Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 656 Agis Stirlander’s Confusion

Agis Stirlander blinked at Alchemist Yen’s doubt, wondering if the latter truly didn’t know or was just testing him.

"Of course, if you’re not willing to say, then forget it." Alchemist Yen lifted his index finger and warned, "However, without knowing the source of the trouble, we will never be able to completely help you."

Agis Stirlander instantly shook his head, afraid the other party would misunderstand.

"Alchemist Yen, it isn’t like that! The investigation conducted by me is requested by the Third Prince, and I report the results of my investigations to his highness over a monthly basis."

Alchemist Yen’s expression became solemn as he narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean?"

"Ah... His Highness told me to personally inform him of the results from the investigation conducted on the origin of the Conferred Queen."

"Personally? Investigations on the origins of Conferred Queen Isabella?" Alchemist Yen shook his head with a stern expression, "Young Agis, I have never seen you enter the Third Prince’s Royal Palace..."

Agis Stirlander corrected, "The Third Prince visited me in my residence secretly to learn about the investigation."

Alchemist Yen looked taken aback. He furrowed his brows and looked at the floor as if he were contemplating Agis Stirlander’s words.

Agis Stirlander did not feel good as he felt that his words were under scrutiny. It became obvious that Alchemist Yen had a hard time believing him. However, the Alchemist Yen’s expression told him that something could be amiss.

Feeling odd, he asked, "Is something wrong?"

Alchemist Yen waved his hand, "It’s just that... I’ve never seen this highness exit the Ethren Royal Palace and neither do I think he exited his seclusion other than a single time but I could be wrong..."

"His Highness exited seclusion only once?" Agis Stirlander widened his eyes, feeling doubtful.

Raising his hand, Alchemist Yen caressed his short beard.

"In the first place, his highness should’ve never heard about the Conferred Queen since he didn’t leave the Ethren Royal Palaces. We haven’t informed it off it either as his highness doesn’t show much interest in marriage..."

Alchemist Yen’s abruptly became silent for a few seconds before his narrowed eyes abruptly widened, "Could it be!?"

Agis Stirlander gulped, wanting to know what Alchemist Yen had presumed.

"His Highness had once been called out for a brief period of time to the Throne Hall, and that might’ve where his highness must’ve heard of the Conferred Queen."

"Perhaps from the palace maids’ whispers..."

"I didn’t think that his highness would finally take an interest in a woman... Specifically the Conferred Queen? Is his highness shy... No!"

Alchemist Yen vehemently shook his head as he waved his hand in confidence.

"His highness is being cautious! That’s right! The Conferred Queen is a person with a mysterious origin, not to mention her current powerful cultivation."

"To achieve the Seventh Stage in Body Tempering Cultivation is something not even the prided youths of the Ethren Empire is capable of... But the Conferred Queen had precisely achieved that when she is nothing but a youthful soul below two hundred years old."

"Such a character has the potential to reach above the Eighth Stage!! Not to mention the way she carries herself with immense confidence!"

"I’ve personally seen it in the Alchemy Convention!" He couldn’t help but nod his head before exclaiming.

"It is like she does not even place the Emperor of the Ethren Empire or the Grand Elder of the Thousand Pill Palace in her eyes!"

"If his highness, the Third Prince has fallen for such a person, I could understand why his highness would be this cautious..."

Agis Stirlander blinked in response as he had already considered this beforehand and felt it to be apparent but he then frowned, feeling that something didn’t make sense.

His Highness, the Third Prince apparently didn’t seem to have left the region of the Ethren Royal Palaces. This could be made sense when his highness acting cautiously because of the Conferred Queen’s background.

However, his Highness’s most trusted aide, Alchemist Yen wasn’t well informed of the situation.

This made him feel something was amiss, perhaps extremely amiss.

"Sigh, is this a fortune or misfortune?" While Alchemist Yen couldn’t help but sigh for his master’s future, Agis Stirlander asked.

"Should we ask his highness?"

Alchemist Yen descended into contemplation before he shook his head, "If his highness wanted to tell me, he would’ve told me so but since he didn’t, then, it is best not to interfere in this matter. After all, a man would start showing changes because he has fallen for a woman, hahaha!"

He heartily laughed but abruptly felt a little bit jealous and curious.

"But why did his highness approach you?"

Agis Stirlander replied with all honesty, "It’s because I managed to get acquainted with a subordinate of the Conferred Queen before I knew that learned that he was such a person."

"Oh! Makes sense!" Alchemist Yen rubbed his short beard, no longer feeling jealous. He felt that this was an opportunity for young Agis to display his faithfulness to his highness.

He extended his hand and patted Agis Stirlander’s shoulder, "Do well!"

"... Yes," Agis Stirlander let out a smile.

Alchemist Yen left as only Agis Stirlander remained behind, his gaze falling over to the herbs. His face became complex, feeling that something was amiss but he couldn’t place his finger on it.

When he turned back, there was suddenly a person standing in front of him!

Agis Stirlander jumped back in shock and fear!

"Alchemist D-Davis!"

He then took a battle posture but then realized that Davis was just standing there, absorbed in his own thoughts with his fingers on his chin.

"You... You, what are you doing here?"

Agis Stirlander’s lower lips quivered while his mind spun.

There was a bunch of Seventh Stage Cultivators outside! How is it possible for Alchemist Davis to elude all their senses and even stand behind him as if he didn’t even exist!?

Furthermore, there’s a High-Level King Grade Detection Formation set up! It is simply impossible for Alchemist Davis with his low cultivation to enter the residence without alarming a single soul!

He instantly became pale at that thought! The Conferred Queen’s subordinate did indeed possess mysterious methods!

"Mnm~" Davis suddenly hummed in contemplation.

"The Third Prince, Alexi Ethren is in seclusion and never exited the Ethren Royal Palace according to that close aide. Meanwhile, you’ve been meeting with a person who seems to be the Third Prince..."

"Mnm~~~~" Davis looked towards his side, "Does this make any sense to you?"

Abruptly, Natalya appeared in their view! But she still worriedly shook her head as she cast a side-glance towards her grandfather.

Agis Stirlander’s expression became aghast! He looked at Alchemist Davis, thinking that he took his precious granddaughter as a hostage.

He gritted his teeth in anger as his whole body trembled.

Davis smiled couldn’t coldly, "Well, if you want nothing to happen to your granddaughter, come meet me in her room without making a fuss."

*Bzz~*

Davis and Natalya suddenly disappeared from his view, causing him to widen his eyes as he felt that he had lost all senses of them! However, in the next few seconds, Natalya’s energy fluctuated in the direction of her room.

He clenched his fists but suppressed his undulations which almost made him cough out blood from restricting his own energy from bursting out. It might alarm the experts so he didn’t dare to do anything that might consequently harm his granddaughter.
