Divine Emperor of Death

The middle-aged referee saw the situation and nodded his head in satisfaction because he didn't want the Nolan Family to outwit them in any aspects, including the competition.

Without any suspense, Diana took the first place and defeated Wayn instantly.

But what the onlookers, neither the middle-aged referee didn't expect was... 

The masked lady had removed her mask and revealed her identity as the fifth princess of the Loret Empire, invoking an uproar from the bunch of cultivators who were present there.

Meanwhile, Wayn who was knocked out cold on the ground woke up from the commotion caused by the crowd and looked for the source.

He was totally stunned and mesmerized at the same time, not being able to believe his eyes.

The girl he was roaming around with was the fifth princess? The girl he was smitten with was the girl in front of him? The girl he thought who could be defeated with a single swing of his hands was the girl who won against him in the competition?

Such complex feelings left him dazed for a long time while Diana silently left with Edward, who had woken up shortly after he lost.

Davis witnessed their puppy love but then decided to leave with Evelynn to the Royal Castle without saying anything.

As for what to do about it, he felt quite conflicted.

======

Davis and Evelynn returned to their room.

He sat on the bed had his legs stacked upon each other while his head was supported by his two arms.

As he leaned behind, he welcomed the small moment of peace which he could use it to do nothing. He put the matter about Diana aside and chose not to interfere. 

In any case, he had no right to say which partner she should choose for her life.

Beside him was Evelynn, whose expression was listless as she had her face tucked into her thighs.

The shock that she had received today was quite an impactful one, and Davis could understand that.

So he left her to her devices and started to enjoy the rare moment of doing nothing. He gradually closed his eyes and as he forgot all things that weighed on him.

It wasn't known how much time had passed but suddenly, he heard a voice.

"Davis, would you marry another woman?"

Davis opened his eyes and sat up straight in shock.

His rare moment of peace was officially over!

He looked at her and sighed as he thought, 'What did she even think of? I don't understand a woman's thought process...'

But then, from his recently emptied mind, emerged the answer.

She had just witnessed her father be married to another woman, who was previously her maid but now her step-mother.

Other than that, Davis's father was also promiscuous and married six more women which also makes him plenty liable in a sense.

"What's up with you suddenly?" He didn't answer but asked.

"Just answer..." Evelynn said as she avoided his gaze with a worried expression on her face.

He ran his hands over his blonde hair and said, "I don't know, it depends..."

Evelynn's gaze landed on him, her gaze sharp as she questioned, "Depends?"

Davis nodded without fearing for repercussions, "Yeah, your permission..."

Evelynn was startled. Her blank expression said that she didn't expect a reply like this.

She narrowed her brows and asked again, "So you mean to say that you won't marry another woman without my consent?"

"Absolutely, that's what I meant..." David nodded and continued, "Look, it isn't a betrayal if I have another woman by my side with your consent, right?"

Evelynn blinked as she became tongue-tied. She couldn't help but admit that his words were true. If she gave her consent, then it couldn't be considered betrayal in a sense.

Davis looked at her agreeable expression and took this opportunity to elaborate on his thoughts and explained.

A few minutes later...

"... On the other hand, I would never allow you to be with another man even if it means my death!" Davis revealed his possessiveness.

Evelynn bit her lips and pinched his waist, "I'm not stinky like you! I would rather die than be with another man!"

"Oww, oww..." Davis acted as if it hurt.

"Hmph! How can you shamelessly say that you will have another woman while having me!?"

"Didn't I already tell you? It's with your approval! You have the initiative and unless you give it to me, I can't have another woman!" 

He took her hand from his waist and placed it over his cheeks, "I'm in your control..."

Evelynn quieted down and slowly but surely, a smile blossomed on her face as she said, "Remember your words... This is a promise."

Davis nodded his head in agreement.

She took her hands away and smiled slyly as she giggled, "Now, I don't have to worry about you having another woman..."

Davis was startled as he thought, 'That's all it took to convince her of my greedy thoughts?'

He had his doubts so he asked, "What do you mean?"

Evelynn looked at him with a victorious expression on her face, "Say, not only are you a prince but a powerful cultivator! If anyone said a person like you won't have a harem, I definitely won't believe that person!"

"But now, I have the initiative..." Evelynn clenched her fist in delight.

She calmed down her emotions and said, "I don't know if you will have more wives in the future, but what I am sure of is that you won't go against your words! Meaning, from now on without my consent, you can't have another woman!"

She then stretched her arms and legs as if all her worries were gone as she lay on the bed.

Davis looked at her satisfied expression and thought to himself, 'Did I make myself a loss just now?'

'Whatever...' He shook his head and said, "As long as you're happy..."

In any case, without having deep feelings for another woman, he ever doubted that he would allow himself to fall into a mess.

As long as he guarded his heart from being emotionally moved, everything would be fine.

"Wifey, I'll leave it to you then... It's your job to not let me go astray... and you can never leave me in this lifetime because I will never let you leave me until I die." Stating that while leaning back, he returned to doing nothing while keeping his mind empty. 

This was the best method to not give in to temptations, and he was quite proficient in it. After all, there was literally a seasoned delicacy beside him, ripe for the taking.

Evelynn looked at him with a smile, a hearty feeling of happiness enveloped her soul, 'Idiot, I had already sold my heart and soul to you...'
