Chapter 113: Ellia's Sickness
Claire lectured Davis till she made sure that he knew whatever she knew about cultivating to the Revolving Core Stage.
anwhile, Davis was shocked to hear that his father will soon cripple his own Energy Gathering Cultivation until it drops to the peak of the ridian Refinent Stage.
Davis couldn't help but admire his dad for taking such a decision.
On the other hand, about the safety and security of the Loret Empire, Emperor Ashton and Emperor Ruth had promised to protect the Loret Empire during this ti in exchange for the information of the land of immortal inheritance.
Claire and Logan both decided to reveal this information as Claire revealed that once the entrance to the inheritance has been opened, it will send a symbol of light to the sky indicating that the inheritance is open to all.
From Claire's explanation, they got that this was the inheritance's way of being fair, aning that regardless of who found it first, the worthy and the talented will have the final laugh.
Davis was fine with it as he had faith in his own abilities. If he couldn't the get the inheritance, then he could only bla himself for his lack of talent.
The very sa day, he invited Evelynn to the Royal Castle in the na of official matters.
…
The next day.
Royal Guards stood in front of the Royal Castle in a diligent manner. Each of their faces was covered by helts, which made it unable to see their emotions but gave an imposing presence.
Davis stood at the front, waiting for an important guest, while Ellia stood beside him calmly as if nothing had happened yesterday.
A carriage arrived in front of the Royal Castle, putting a smile on his face.
The carriage promptly stopped and Evelynn got down from it as she smiled back at him.
"Welco to the Royal Castle, Miss Evelynn."
"To be invited by my Prince personally, I feel honoured." Evelynn clasped her hands as she bowed slightly.
After that, they exchanged quite a few formal words as they headed inside the Royal Castle.
"Haha, that was quite the facade you've shown." Evelynn closed her mouth as she giggled.
"Don't we do that all the ti? Sothing that is known as maintaining our face in front of the crowd." Davis replied indifferently as if it were a matter of fact but suddenly continued, "Right, my parents said that they wanted to et you."
"The Emperor and the Empress called for ?" Evelynn got nervous. She made a slightly frightened face as she asked him.
"The Emperor aside, the Empress wants to see you it seems." Davis shrugged.
Wearing a worried expression on her face, she asked, "Is she going to test ?"
"Probably, have you prepared for it?" He replied and questioned in a serious tone. In fact, he was just teasing her.
"Even if I did, I don't think I'll get her to accept ." Replying in a sad tone, she put her head down.
Looking at her hanging head, he thought as he sighed, 'We got a serious inferiority complex issue here!'
"Haha, it will be fine. My Mom, the Empress has already decided on you. Just make sure you don't make her angry for so reason."
"Hmm, I'll do as you say." Evelynn nodded her head and smiled lightly.
Davis also nodded his head and headed to the throne hall.
Halfway through the corridor, he felt sothing was amiss, 'Eh? Why are we exchanging words as if we are already married and are on our way to see my parents for acceptance? Sothing is clearly weird!'
At that mont, there gazes t for an instant before they separated simultaneously.
'What the hell was that about?' Davis' eyes narrowed as he contemplated. Suddenly he looked at her as yesterday's event flashed passed his eyes, 'She? Has she already accepted to be my won!?' He asked himself in an incredulous manner as if he were questioning his own rationality. A mont later, he shook his head and continued to walk.
A few minutes later, they finally reached in front of the throne hall.
"Well, go inside…"
"Ah? You're not coming?"
Davis suddenly stopped walking beside her. Evelynn realised that he was not walking with her anymore, and got a little more nervous at the prospect of eting her in-laws alone.
Davis shook his head indicating that he won't accompany her anymore. A mont later, he lifted his hands and gave a thumbs up.
Evelynn pouted with her hands placed on her waists. She then nodded her head and went inside the throne room.
Davis wryly laughed and turned back to head to the study as he had no reason to continue staying here. Just as he turned his head, he froze.
Ellia stared at him with her eyes narrowed. He suddenly felt as if he had been caught doing sothing unscrupulous.
She continued to stare at him before he could take it no more.
"What are you staring at
for?"
"… Nothing. It's just that I thought the relationship between you two had suddenly beco way more inti… amiable."
"Of course, I and Evelynn are going to marry soon. This is totally normal and sothing to be expected. Besides, what's with you nowadays? You are acting totally weird, Ellia." He replied it as a matter of fact and lastly used a worried tone to ask her.
Ellia had a complicated face as she tried to say sothing.
"Do you feel sick?" Davis randomly asked as he checked her pulse.
He knew a one or two things about sickness since he studied Alchemy.
Cultivators can also get sick as there are many unexplainable things that can affect them without them being able to notice.
"… No. It's just…" Her complicated face turned sad.
He raised his brows and questioned in a solemn tone, "What is it? Say it! Don't hide anything from !"
"… I have so weird dreams."
He narrowed his eyes, "Dreams?"
"They're like nightmares…" Her body trembled slightly.
Davis contemplated and hurriedly checked her soul for any anomaly. He then continued to question, "What is that nightmare about? If you're afraid to recall, then you don't need to tell
about it."
