With his judgnt cast on the four people from the Eternal Twilight Imperial Family, Davis no longer bothered with them. As for the servants, Davis didn't care.
Whether they fulfilled their conditions or snitched on him mattered little to him as he had the power to strike back. The only issue was that he had to abandon the First Void Dust Sanctuary, as the number of people assuming that he was sowhere in the Eternal Twilight Lower Realm was already high.
Furthermore, the realm could be found easily since Shirley had appeared around three towns away from the Great Desolate Plains.
They would only have to trace Clara's path back to Highnode Town and from there to the Great Desolate Plains, and voila, the First Void Dust Sanctuary would be present there as long as they could search deep.
Stella was strong, but surely, her mini realm wouldn't be able to escape a Peak Empyrean's senses.
Davis thought about why Empyrean Miller Skyrend didn't appear or sent others to that place to check. After all, he had stayed in the Revera Town and Highnode Town for a while. The only answer he chanced upon was that they knew but were letting him swim for the ti being.
He couldn't understand for what reason.
'It couldn't be that Empyrean Miller Skyrend was too afraid and bedridden that he failed to report, right?'
Davis narrowed his eyes.
He liked to think he had intimidated Empyrean Miller Skyrend to death, but that kind of thing wouldn't last long for soone with a strong Will. He didn't perceive Empyrean Miller Skyrend to be such a character, so he wondered if the Celestial Transcendent actually told the Heaven's Warriors not to engage with him unless he or soone like Autarch Elluro Coldwing was present.
It was pretty obvious that they understood that the Divine Emperor of Death could no longer be easily dealt with, so Davis thought only the big shots would try to take him down from now on. Perhaps they didn't think he could teleport from one place to another so quickly as they lacked information on Stella and didn't bother to check the Great Desolate Plains imdiately.
After all, he couldn't have quickly crossed too many realms if he lacked spatial talismans of high value.
Either way, Davis knew it was only a matter of ti before he t with the Heaven's Warriors again.
His gaze fell on Flarose and Frostrose as he walked towards them.
For so reason, they were acting all distant, avoiding gazes with him.
Davis blinked before he realized.
"It's been a while, inheritance masters. I hope you all are safe and sound despite the fact that I'm late." He cupped his hands, starting the conversation with a light smile.
"Divine Emperor of Death-"
"Davis is fine."
Flarose opened her mouth but was interrupted, causing her to hesitate before she nodded.
"Davis, we are grateful for being saved again. We twins have wanted to talk to you ever since we regained ourselves, but we couldn't because we got caught up in the Candidacy. However, we finally got the opportunity."
She spoke in a firm voice before her voice turned hesitant.
"Why did you revive us?"
"To use your prowess to protect ourselves from the advent of the Immortal King Vacuous Beast, sothing that was nearly impossible for us to defeat."
Davis smiled and continued, "Of course, if you two could co back alive, Shirley would love it. Therefore, you two have free will to do anything you want. You are not bound by anything."
Flarose and Frostrose looked at each other. Could it be really just that simple?
However, they knew Davis from their ti as Zahara and Yeyin. They knew he really didn't have any intentions for them. That was kind of hard to believe because, from the mont they were born, all they were were tools to be used. The Aurafla Clan really didn't consider Frostrose one of them because she was born as an Ice Phoenix instead of a Fire Phoenix.
It was a mutation that was looked down upon.
Even if they could take advantage of their strength together to create sothing as terrifying as icefire, Frostrose was never praised. She was only hurled with insults.
No, it was better said they feared their potential and decided to sacrifice them to the Candidacy. Otherwise, they could've even beco powerful Grand Elders with their icefire or even Matriarchs. In so powers, there was provision for twins to beco rulers together if there was harmony between them and their powers.
After all, power was one of the deciding factors that let people sit in a position of status and influence. Having two harmonious heads to decide the fate of a power was also better than just one.
Rembering those days, Flarose and Frostrose looked at Davis more favorably. He treated them with respect.
"We have nowhere to go." Flarose stepped forward, "We wish for you to take us in."
"Of course, we're willing to work for you." She added passionately, "Let us join the Reaper Soul Legion and beco glorious guardians if it needs to be."
"Seniors," Davis raised his hands and shook, "I respect and care about you too much to assign such roles. Although our ti was short, I know you as close friends and, even more than that, our great benefactors. I am obliged to help you whenever I can. Only— we were waiting for your mories to return, so we're now glad to have you back."
"…"
Flarose and Frostrose looked at each other again.
They felt appreciated by his words. Suddenly, they heard Davis continue with a solemn tone.
"I don't know if I'm right since I heard it from the supre geniuses of the Aurafla Clan. It seems like your father and mother left the Aurafla Clan shortly after you two were sacrificed. Perhaps they grieved for you two."
"…"
The twins narrowed their eyes. Their gazes didn't look good.
Their father was ashad of them and was gone as though he exiled himself, never returning or seeing them a single ti. Their mother didn't know what to do and didn't pay much attention to them, especially Frostrose.
Flarose and Frostrose were left alone to fend for themselves other than having a few caretakers because their parents had been rich.
The two of them clenched their fists as though they thought about their parents.
They only realize their worth after they are sacrificed?
"Heh~"
Flarose scoffed as she looked away.
"Flamie…"
Frostrose raised her hand and placed it on Flarose's shoulder, consoling her.
"We don't care about the two of them." Flarose harrumphed, "They can regret all they want or think of us as good riddance. We don't care anymore. We will look forward and walk along with you."
She waved her hand and declared.
"…"
Davis raised his brows. Was that really the case? When they were Zahara and Yeyin, they seed to crave their parent's affection slightly. But here, they were just the opposite?
Regardless, he nodded.
"I don't an to pry, but I'm interested in knowing how the two of you were born, one as an Ice Phoenix and another as a Fire Phoenix in the womb of a Fire Phoenix mother. After all, it is said that an Ice Phoenix is a mix between a Blue Luan and a Fire Phoenix."
"…"
Once Davis said it, the others turned silent, their expressions blank or awkward.
After all, he was asking if their father got cucked by a Blue Luan while their mother was still pregnant with Flarose. Magical beasts rarely gave birth to twins, even as they give birth to many progenies at the sa ti, so it was possible their mother was violated by a man or handled by two n at the sa ti. It was possible for two babies to be conceptualized from two different fathers at the sa ti.
It even happened in humans if they were to have strange physiques or deformities created by the environnt. After all, this was not the First Haven World where human genes have been perfected and kept to a standard by a mysterious entity.
It was horrible, in their opinion, but they could see it happening as the immortal world was cruel. Failed births, like death upon birth, were also a thing.
Still, it was quite an insensitive thing to ask.
