Divine Emperor of Death

Davis walked inside and at the same time, the avatar which was laying on the ground shot towards his glabella before entering his soul sea. Davis became slightly comfortable for a short moment before the feeling entirely disappeared.

"You're back!" 

As if she would never get tired of this, Evelynn happily exclaimed.

But this time, instead of making him feel happy, it just made him feel as if he had done something extremely wrong.

Davis blinked and berated himself, 'Why are you feeling like this? Hadn't Evelynn already given her consent? You're just making it worse for yourself by acting guilty...'

Evelynn stood as flew towards him as felt like she had missed him for an entire week. He was there with her for four months alone in the mountainous regions, and she found herself falling for him even more by being together with him.

Once she stood in front of him, her smile abruptly froze. Her nose wrinkled as she smelled both a familiar and an unfamiliar fragrance. She couldn't help but take two more sniffs to confirm it again.

Then her eyes widened as she took a step back in astonishment, "..."

Davis avoided her gaze for a moment but then his gaze abruptly shot towards her, "You've got a sister..."

Evelynn had her palms on her mouth as her eyes abruptly became moist.

Davis felt hurt at seeing her expression. He subconsciously extended his hand wanting to console but Evelynn raised her palm at him, stopping him.

"D-Don't..." Evelynn sniffed and rubbed her eyes. She then spoke as if she were mumbling to herself, "I knew this would happen one day, so don't worry... I am prepared..."

"It's just that... It's just that..." She clutched her left bosom, "Even though I was prepared, my heart hurts... knowing that you're no longer solely mine anymore..."

"Evelynn..." Davis truly felt bad.

There was suddenly a voice echoing in him that he should've pushed Natalya away.

Davis narrowed his eyes as he recognized this feeling before, 'Heart demon?'

There was already a heart demon forming because he felt that he had done Evelynn an enormous wrong.

His eyes shot wide open! 

What one needed in the cultivation world to rise in ranks is ultimately determination! The will to not lose one's will!

His Dark Concealing Shroud Art concealed the smell on him again, just like the time when he spoke with Agis Stirlander in the morning. He pulled Evelynn towards him and made her head lean on his chest.

"Cry... Don't keep your sadness with yourself. Share it with me and tell how wrong I am..."

It was as if a dam had been crushed open.

"Ahhh~"

Evelynn heart-wrenchingly cried as she let out tears while embracing him. Her tears wet his clothes as he accepted her sorrow.

So what if she gave her consent? The matters of the heart are always unpredictable. He had wronged her. There was no use denying that as her tears were the ultimate proof.

Evelynn continued to cry as she held him, however, she no longer let out those heart-wrenchingly cries which had already put numerous holes in Davis's small heart as he felt uncomfortable.

Even his eyes were moist but he refused to let out a tear. It was not his stubbornness but he accepted that this was his fault. If he cried, that would be too hypocritical.

He made the mistake and cries for it as if it wasn't his fault? That was too hypocritical...

"What's wrong? Tell me how wrong I am..." Davis urged her again.

He really wanted her to take her anger out on him so that he could feel better instead of being given the silent treatment.

Evelynn shook her head, staining her tears all over his chest.

"I... I already g-gave you my c-consent... You can never be w-wrong..." Evelynn sniffled. Her voice echoed in his ears with a pitiful tone.

"It's just that I d-don't feel too g-good for the time being..."

Evelynn tightened her hold on him, "I... I want to s-stay like this for a few m-minutes..."

"As long as you like..." Davis whispered.

At that moment, he felt like even if she told her for him to stay like this for a year, he would agree to do it.

Evelynn imperceptibly nodded her head and stuck close to his chest, feeling his heartbeat. It felt warm and provided her a strange sense of comfort as she slowly became consoled.

As Evelynn settled her emotions which were chaotic for a while before, she started to think.

'Who is she?'

Since Princess Isabella was here in seclusion and Davis spent the night in Agis Stirlander's Residence, she obviously could realize that it was another woman.

But wasn't Agis Stirlander trying to be hostile by trying to trace their origins?

'Could it be that my husband was forced with an aphrodisiac? Honey trap? Was the aphrodisiac that potent!?'

She felt confident that her husband wouldn't just touch a woman just because she was beautiful. From what she knew, he had always said that developing feelings for each other was something he prioritized.

Many thoughts ran amok in her mind.

However, throwing it all away, she decided to ask as she knew that he would be honest with her.

"If it isn't Princess Isabella, then who is it?" Evelynn inclined her head and looked straight into his eyes.

Davis blinked and answered, "It's Agis Stirlander's first granddaughter..."

Evelynn's eyes shot wide, "You... You decided to display dominance by violating his granddaughter!?"

It didn't make sense to her since she thought that he wouldn't touch a woman whom he had no connection with...

'Could it be that Agis Stirlander's granddaughter is a heavenly beauty!? Or is it that wretched aphrodisiac!?' She couldn't help but think.

Davis suddenly became not amused. He couldn't help but ask, "Is that your image of me?"

"No!!" Evelynn confidently bellowed.

'Otherwise, instead of coming back to save me once you noticed the anomaly, you would've taken the opportunity and spent a night with the spiked Princess Shirley at that time...' She inwardly mused, thinking back to the event that happened during their stay in the Ashton Empire.

However, she ultimately didn't voice out her thoughts.

Davis nodded with a heartened expression but then his face expressed ounces of astonishment, "You wouldn't believe it if I said who it was..."

"Who?" Evelynn became curious, forgetting that this unknown woman just hurt her deeply a while ago by taking her husband.

Davis pursed his lips, "It's Natalya..."

There was a moment of silence because Evelynn became blank.

All memories of the name connected with Natalya belatedly sprung up in her mind.

"You mean that woman whom you spent a year under a single residence in the Royal Xuan City for more than a year!?" Evelynn exclaimed.

"Yes..." Davis wryly nodded his head.

"S-She is Agis Stirlander's granddaughter?? There is such a coincidence? Wasn't she in Pavlos City! Also, didn't you say that her family name was Astoria!?" Evelynn rapid-fired her questions.

It wasn't she was suspicious of Davis's honesty but the information didn't make sense to her.

"It's her mother's family name..." Davis explained.

From the part where Agis Stirlander came to pick them Natalya's Family in Pavlos City by reading the letter placed in his residence at the Royal Xuan City to settling down in the Ethren City with the help of the Third Prince.

"This..." Evelynn couldn't help but dumbfoundedly look at Davis, "This feels like fate arranged your meeting again... The moment you met again, the feelings hidden within you two exploded?"

Looking at her quote romance cliches from books written in this world, Davis pursed his lips as he felt it twitch but brought her towards the bed as he made her sit.
