Davis knew that his father became extremely moved but he didn't comment on it.

He turned to his mother and said, "Take all these Spirit Stones, mother. The undulations will start to spread if you don't do so..."

"Silly..."

Claire mumbled and proceeded to store the Fire Attributed Spirit Stones into her spatial ring as she shook her head. She returned her look back to her son, still not knowing what to say as she remained speechless.

Davis rubbed his chin as his thoughts were not on gifting his parents anymore. Instead, he thought of the future.

In his perspective, there were at least three Princes... No, the top three Princes of the Ethren Empire all were keen on uncovering the Conferred Queen, Isabella's background.

And Agis Stirlander came so close to it that he allowed him to do so by making him treating Lucas...

'Lucas... I've already asked him with my avatar and by his testimony, he says that Agis Stirlander did indeed ask him about their background but he refused to say anything...'

'However, an apothecary who knows of the human body may have methods to make Lucas subconsciously answer his questions, like making Lucas similar to being in a state of anesthesia being injected...'

'Although the chances are less... It might've been certainly possible but it's already four months since Agis Stirlander treated Lucas and the one behind Agis Stirlander, the Third Prince, is yet to make a move on us assuming that he already knows that we came from the Tripartite Alliance Territory...'

'In any case, I might be thinking into this too much... Or it is also possible that...'

"What's wrong Davis?" Claire saw that her son was deep in thought, so she called out, interrupting his thoughts in the process.

Davis blinked and responded with a shake of his head, "I was just thinking our true background might have been compromised..."

"What!?" Claire and Logan both exclaimed.

"Not the one that we are from the Grand Sea Continent but the Tripartite Alliance Territory..." Davis cleared up the misunderstanding and proceeded to explain.

That Eighth Stage Expert became a Seventh Stage Expert in the explanation and he told Evelynn that was the fact before. At that time, bright Evelynn nodded her head, knowing that he wanted to conceal the fact that he could kill Eighth Stage Experts!

"So that Agis Stirlander is a spy for the Third Prince of the Ethren Empire? We've been had!" Logan clenched his teeth while also displaying his hatred for backstabbers but then continued.

"Davis, this is not your fault. The fact that Agis Stirlander could be a spy is too coincidental... You might want to recheck that fact, and the fact that the mastermind behind him, the Third Prince hadn't made a move yet also could be a sign of false alarm..."

"That's what I thought too..." Davis nodded his head.

He turned rather impressed with his father since they seemed to have the same thought.

Meanwhile, Claire who seemed to be in a deep thought suddenly opened her mouth, "Didn't you say that you're going to Agis Stirlander's residence?

"Yes, I intend to and Agis Stirlander already told me his address... Maybe the reason why they hadn't made a move is that they too have the need to further check the facts..." Davis shook his head, "Or maybe they had set a trap for me, still waiting for me to show up and fall into the trap...."

"In any case, I will know once I head there..."

Claire narrowed her eyes, "Are you confident?"

Davis nodded his head, "If something happens, I'll relay it through my avatar. At that time, be ready to escape..."

Claire and Logan turned to look at each other before they seriously nodded at their son, "Alright..."

They didn't even think of saying otherwise to his decision as he was the one who solely carried them to this place.

======...

The next day, evening.

A middle-aged man drank tea as he watched the sun nearing to the horizon to set. He had dark black hair that reached till his shoulders, sharp brows adorned his clear black eyes and a trimmed beard that accentuated his rough lips.

He seemed to be in a trance as he looked out of the window.

Suddenly, he couldn't help but sigh.

'It's been four months and Davis Loret, no... Alchemist Scythe has still yet to visit my residence.'

'The investigations I arranged in the Tripartite Alliance Territory to investigate Alchemist Scythe's whereabouts and actions should be coming with the conclusion soon.'

"Should I visit him again instead? No, the Conferred Queen is still there and rumors state that she is in seclusion, so if I go and somehow disturb her, I might get killed!'

"Damn it!" Agis Stirlander crushed the cup on the table and looked speechless at the mess he made before he sighed.

'The Third Prince came to visit me almost a month ago but I failed to provide anything of value. I failed to gain anything out of Davis Loret other than his goodwill. As for that young lad who had his privates injured and healed with my help, he refused to reveal it as well.'

'If I had more time, perhaps, I could've made him enter a semi-conscious state to mindlessly respond to questions... but that person's will seemed to be tempered by torture... I doubt I would manage to gain anything out from him.'

'Then the only thing left to confirm is to bring Davis Loret to my residence and have him meet w...' Agis Stirlander abruptly blinked as if he was interrupted.

Then he instantly stood up while his eyes lit up! He exited the room through the window and quickly approached the outer courtyard!

======

In front of Agis Stirlander's residence, Davis stood, draped in his Peak-Level Sky Grade Alchemist Robes. To whoever that might be watching him, he sent a message to them that he is coming.

Its underlying meaning was that "I am here, so ready your traps and be quick, otherwise you may lose the opportunity to trap me!"

Davis imperceptibly smiled.

No matter what the enemy might throw at him, he at least possesses 90% confidence that he could counter-attack while that 9% is left for being instakilled and 1% for other unknown causes.

He shook his head, feeling that he was rather playing with his life.

However, he wasn't as careless as one would think of him if they saw him being like this...

There were indeed people following him from the Conferred Queen's residence but that was just that... He had already surveyed them with his soul sense and they were all underlings probably spent to spy by numerous powers.

'That one Princess with a mysterious background is a tremendous enticement for these people, isn't that right?' Davis mused with a chuckle and saw the huge gate open.

'Well, she is mine!'

"Hahaha!" Agis Stirlander laughed as he clasped his hand and walked, "Welcome! Welcome to my humble abode, Davis Loret!"

Davis smiled mockingly and clasped his hand but the other party seemed to not notice.

Agis Stirlander invited Davis inside and the latter followed him into his residence.

"Look, I'm sure you can recognize those herbs. Yes, almost all of them are used for treatment. I am an apothecary, so it is a must that I know the herbs I use!"

Agis Stirlander laughed and explained what he was doing in these days with his herbs. Their conversation went on for some time until they entered the inner courtyard.

From the conversation, it seemed that Agis Stirlander possessed the aspirations to become a King Grade Apothecary in the future. Davis took all this with a pinch of salt as he walked in looking around at all those servants who tended to the herbs.
