Almost all the people present in the Grand Welcoming Hall salivated as they got their portion of meat placed on their small table. The Elders and Grand Elders weren't also an exception. It wasn't at all times they get to eat Eighth Stage Magical Beast Meat! They almost drowned the hall with their drooling, especially Nadia.

As a magical beast, Nadia possessed a tremendous appetite. Other than her own species, she didn't have any hesitation in devouring humans and other magical beasts.

She was peculiarly given a large portion, and she dived and barred her maws right at the moment she saw someone actually place their hands on the meat.

"Conferred Queen, it seems like your grand magical beast likes the feast that we took pride in perfecting and serving. Why don't we all take part in it as well?" Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim took a cup of wine before he moved it towards them.

"For the Conferred Queen..."

Reluctantly, Princess Isabella also took a cup of wine and gave a long-distance toast before drinking it up.

The others also followed suit and gulped the wine up. Below the platform, there were hundreds of Elders and other fairly important members. Although they spoke nothing, they followed suit in celebrating and partaking in the feast.

Soon, the sounds of munching and drinking filled the hall, making the atmosphere much better than before.

It was quiet for a moment in terms of discussions spinning around.

"Hoho... I heard Conferred Queen acquired these talents in the Nine Eastern Territories. Does the Conferred Queen mind revealing their origins?" Grand Elder Krax Alstreim suddenly asked.

He looked at the other people behind the Conferred Queen in interest. The only one he actually knew about is Natalya, and he lamented for a while that they didn't find such a sapling in the beginning.

Unfortunately, she seemed to be already taken by Alchemist Davis.

"Perhaps... If your family's young experts can defeat my subordinates..." Princess Isabella unabashedly laughed. It was a pity that the wine was unable to do anything to her. Otherwise, she would've looked immensely alluring with her cherry lips puckering as she moved her mouth.

The Grand Elders laughed. However, her statement was offensive to the young experts who have gathered here. They personally felt provoked and wanted to take them on, but recalling the battle exchange between the Conferred Queen's side, and the Towering Cloud Hall and Falling Snow Sect, they held back their urge.

But it couldn't be said to be the same about people who held immense confidence in themselves.

A female figure stood up and swiftly delivered, "Conferred Queen Isabella's cultivation and prowess is truly amazing! Perhaps in my life, I would never achieve such a feat at such a young age, but I couldn't let that statement slide just like that."

"Subordinates? Didn't one of them lose to the Falling Snow Sect's youngest top disciple, Tanya Frostblight?"

Hearing someone mention her, Natalya became stunned. She inwardly sighed, feeling that she had put dirt the Conferred Queen's undefeated name. However, she didn't let it get to her.

She was aware of the fact that she was still growing!

"Lost? My subordinate lost? When did that happen? I don't seem to recall it..." Princess Isabella became amused as she looked at the young woman who expressed her thoughts boldly to her.

She looked peerless in terms of beauty with her purple eyes and waist-length blonde hair that fell slightly over her shoulders, but she fell a little short of Princess Isabella's beauty, at least in Davis's eyes.

The young woman didn't seem to lose her calm, but she just smiled as if she already won the battle of the words....

Princess Isabella turned her head to Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim, "Who is this woman? She is completely rude, speaking out of turn without even giving her name."

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim inwardly celebrated that his gem was able to stand up to a character such as the Conferred Queen, but he awkwardly chuckled and looked as if he were going to stop a fight, "Conferred Queen, please forgive her rudeness. She is none other than the current Young Mistress of the Alstreim Family, and my granddaughter, Nora Alstreim."

"So it's your granddaughter... No wonder she's unbridled... Wait!" Princess Isabella suddenly looked as if she became confused.

"Your granddaughter? As in your child's child? The same generation as the Patriarch?" Princess Isabella looked at Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim in disbelief as he had mentioned his age.

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim laughed as he shook his head, "No, no... Patriarch Eldric Alstreim and I are grandson and grandfather. On the other hand, Nora and I are separated by six generations."

"I see... So you two are close like a grandparent and grandchild should be..." Princess Isabella looked envious as she pursed her lips.

It was as if she created a yearning for her great-grandfather, who didn't seem to pay her any heed to her. It created an atmosphere that garnered sympathy and compassion for the Conferred Queen.

'So the Conferred Queen is also a woman...' They couldn't help but sigh.

They only knew that she raised her fists for everything like a brute, but they didn't know that in she hid in a strong and unbreakable shell. They all started romanticizing her in their minds.

Davis had to clap his hand in admiration inwardly.

Heck! Who were they kidding!? They already knew everything from Claire's account, but Princess Isabella acted like she knew all this for the first time.

Her acting had also created some credibility for her non-existent background. It was as if she had her own hidden story that made people think of what kind of life she lived to become this strong.

Perhaps, she would be only accepted into the family after becoming a Ninth Stage Powerhouse? Like that or a similar story? They couldn't help but think.

Nora Alstreim glanced at the men looking at Princess Isabella with a tinge of kindness. She became speechless before she turned to look at Weiss Alstreim, the Young Master of the Alstreim Family, who seemed to be equally looking at Princess Isabella with a gaze of kindness.

Nora Alstreim clenched her teeth as he looked at Princess Isabella. Others might feel pity, but as a woman, she felt that the Conferred Queen was also subconsciously bewitching everyone with her forlorn visage! It wasn't Charm Arts but her own innate charm that was influencing the people here from what she could tell.

To snap them out of it, she raised her voice, "Conferred Queen still hasn't answered my question yet!"

The hall suddenly even more silent before Princess Isabella turned her head to look Nora Alstreim, "You seem to be misunderstanding something. The one who lost isn't my subordinate but my subordinate's wife. Even though she lost, the Falling Snow Sect still wanted her to become a top disciple who will be heavily nurtured by them."

Nora Alstreim became stunned. Not only was she stunned, but even the Grand Elders and the Elders seem to have become stunned. They all stared at a person, wanting to know whether if it were the truth or not.

It was none other than Elder Havle Alstreim.

Elder Havle Alstreim munched on with his mouth as he looked away, eating a thigh piece with vigor. He seemed to pay no heed to the number of hostile looks that he was receiving.

'Hehe... That's what you get for antagonizing me!'

He was the one who provided false information. No, it would be apt to say that he didn't mention that Evelynn and Natalya were Alchemist Davis's wives, so they have seemed to have taken that these two exceptional women were also Conferred Queen's subordinates.
