Divine Emperor of Death
Chapter 1451 Two Wrongs?
While his wives looked moved with each other's acknowledgment, Davis got to know their wishes, looking dumbfounded by their love towards him. They all had similar reasons of wanting to be happy and wanting to make him happy, but one thing that stood out was that they wanted to have his child. It was not for status, nor for power, but the basic proof of love that a woman needed in this world.
Davis denying their right to give birth was equivalent to them saying that he could not let his virility inside them. It was unfair of him.
However, it wasn't like he didn't wish for children. They had already come to a consensus that it should be better if they reach the Immortal Stage before having babies, although he would admit that he was the one that influenced them to have that kind of thought in the first place.
Nevertheless, it seemed like they didn't bother disturbing him with their wishes as they patiently waited.
'I'll give them children as many as they want when we've become powerful enough...'
He inwardly swore at this moment and smiled.
"Hearing what you all said makes me feel incredibly fortunate to have you all. Evelynn, Natalya, and Fiora. I love you all and wouldn't want to separate for life. I mean it when I say it."
"Darling~"
Evelynn and Natalya echoed, feeling heartened while Fiora lowered her head both in shyness and confusion.
Does this mean that she was also loved at this point?
She did hear him calling her his wife, but this silly woman just didn't understand that Davis had begun loving her the moment he made love with her because that was just how he was, unable to not hold feelings for a woman he was intimate with. Some would say that he was easy, but Davis felt that he had a tight lock on himself as he didn't just go sleep with any woman.
Getting past his defenses was not easy in the first place, but Fiora just managed to do that with her lovable character as well with the support of her elder sister. It was like nepotism as she was recommended, but she was still worthy as he had approved of her way before he approved Natalya during the time when he first met her.
All of his women had made him moved one way or another for them to get past his defenses in the first place, so he thought that he wasn't easy, just simple and not complicated.
"Brother, since your women are all willing to share you." Clara suddenly spoke, "If I said that sis- Princess Shirley is the same, would you-"
"Silly little sister..." Davis smiled as she shook his head, "You cut me off what I was about to say back then. Shirley and I already met up in the First Layer and resolved our differences that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that we now love each other."
Clara's eyes lit up as a smile appeared on her face.
"I see... So sister Sh- no, sister-in-law Shirley succeeded."
"Indeed, we both succeeded."
Davis smirked and told her and Evelynn about how he offended the Burning Phoenix Ridge, massacred a few Ninth Stage Powerhouses with his Death Laws amidst Natalya and Fiora's worried gaze since they personally witnessed him suffer the backlash.
Of course, he did not reveal Fallen Heaven and just said that it was a sacrificial technique that used Death Laws as a base while he told them that he healed his soul injuries with Life Laws.
That was the first time they heard about Death Laws and Life Laws, becoming awed while looking at him with reverent eyes, but before they could say anything, he waved his hand as the door opened. Two figures almost fell to the floor before they swiftly managed to balance themselves, looking awkward as they scratched their heads.
They had just arrived, unable to hold back their curiosity, low-key wanting to see their kind big brother be bullied by their tyrant elder sister, but it seems like that it didn't happen as they seemed to be engaged in a conversation while looking at Davis as if though he was an Immortal?
"That's right, brother." Clara abruptly narrowed her purple eyes, "I've wanted to say this, but mother and father were there, so I didn't say anything. Edward stretched his claws towards two maids, taking them as his women."
Davis blinked as he became stunned, while Edward's expression became awkward.
Two women? Already?
Edward was seventeen years old at the moment that he couldn't help but ask when did this happen.
"Two years ago, when Edward turned fifteen. One of them is his personal maid he gained when he was eight years old, so it was rather expected that he has intimacy with her, but it was unexpected that he would really decide to take her as his woman."
"The other was a woman from a wealthy family who managed to get into our Imperial Castle to work as a maid. Still, according to her, she seemed to want to serve the Imperial Family because our father saved her father when our Loret Family was about to go extinct during the rebellion."
Davis nodded amidst Edward's panicked expression.
"And when did you know all this?"
"Just a few months before Princess Isabella came, the time when I arranged Edward's Coming of Age Ceremony when he turned sixteen. The same night after the ceremony, I spotted him taking the second maid and confronted him the next day, learning about all his adventures and put a stop to him before he could do anything crazy again."
"Brother, it's not like that-" Edward raised his hands.
"Be quiet, Edward..."
Clara narrowed her eyes while Edward pursed his lips in nervousness before she continued.
"Well, the only saving grace is that I saw through their true intent and confirmed that they truly do love our little brother. Otherwise, I was against him taking them as his women."
Davis smiled as he patted Clara's head. She truly did look after them in their stead. He kept his gaze at Edward before he raised his brows.
"You were about to say something?"
"Yes, brother..." Edward felt a bit nervous, "It's not like I took them just because I wanted them. I love them, big brother."
"Why?" Davis smiled as he asked a simple question.
Edward looked panicked. Eventually, he sighed and spoke.
"It took me so much time to find them. The castle maids are all beautiful ever since I became conscious of them. However, I always followed brother's words of wanting to make feelings a priority first. You told me lust makes me want all women, but entertaining that is dangerous and that I should follow my heart in what I really want or like in a woman."
Davis nodded his head as it was indeed similar to what he told him.
"At first, I interacted with the castle maids and learned that they were all interested in me, but clearly, their eyes shone differently when I spoke about you, brother. However, my personal maid Jaslyn and Aiz were different. They didn't admire brother but me..."
Davis couldn't help but be dumbfounded as he realized that he left quite a hurdle for Edward to be the strongest and desirable man here.
Indeed, although the castle maids may have tried their chances with Edward, he was clearly unwilling to let someone in his life who thinks more of his brother than him.
Davis didn't find anything wrong with it. Instead, he felt like rejoicing.
"Excellent, Edward!"
He walked towards him and patted his shoulders, "You saw through those two-faced maids. Many of them would be willing to settle for you, but you clearly picked the flower among them who would give up their entire lives for you. Of course, the former can change with time and love, but don't count on it because a woman's intrinsic nature rarely changes."
"Brother..."
Edward felt so moved that he couldn't help but almost tear up. When he confessed at this moment, he knew that he would be laughed at, but he felt that he had to say it, or otherwise, he felt that there was a chance that his two lovely women would be taken from him.
After all, he hadn't them married them yet, and he didn't have the authority of the Crown Prince to act as he pleased. However, contrary to his expectations, he was praised. Not only was his brother talented, strong, kind, and magnanimous, he was also understanding.
The confident character he built up was built by following what he had seen in his elder brother, and at this moment, he felt like all he strived for was rewarded.
"I'm proud of you, Edward. As a man, you will inevitably need a woman or many women one day, and I can understand that you just decided to take them sooner. However, know that a woman has the ability to make a man's life full of happiness or full of misery, that is, only if you let them, which you did, like me. Fortunately, you did not make a mistake from what I heard from Clara. You should thank your elder sis for taking care of you, no?"
Davis hugged his little brother and encouraged him while Edward didn't cry, but he did tremble.
"Thank you, elder sis!"
Edward separated before thanking his tyrant elder sister before he inwardly thanked his elder brother for supporting him.
Clara shook her head as she turned to look at Diana.
Diana's expression froze, her body beginning to tremble.
Davis noticed their eye contact and couldn't help but think if Diana had done something untoward.
"Brother, Diana kissed Wayn Nolan. She is on house arrest for a year already..."
"!!!"
Davis and his wives reacted with their eyes widening while Diana panicked.
"Brother! I-"
