Chapter 1862: Don't Clash...



Chapter 1862: Don’t Clash…

Isabella and Shirley were taken aback over Davis’s declaration. Then, they quickly wondered how he must’ve loved her back then to be still caring about her.

“After all, Ellia was the first friend I made in this world…”

“…”

Friend?

Isabella and Shirley’s expressions fell as they heard Davis’s utterance.

Was this womanizer for real?

“You… you do not love her?”

Shirley asked because when Ellia spoke to her, it certainly seemed like she liked him a lot that it could be translated to love.

“What… no…?”

On the other hand, Davis looked amused before his expression faded, even replaced with confusion.

“Now that I think about it… Ellia’s certainly a top-tier beauty. I didn’t think she would actually grow this beautiful.”

“What do you mean?” Shirley narrowed her eyes, “I acknowledged her as a beauty when we met in the Gathering Of The Elites Competition even though I looked down on her because she possessed the status of a slave. Do you mean to say that you refused to acknowledge her as extremely beautiful because you can’t stay friends with her otherwise?”

“You know… you might be right.” Davis pointed at Shirley as he nodded, “I knew she would grow to be an extreme beauty but certainly placed a spell on myself to not see her that way because, as you two know, I was a grown man in a child’s body while she was a beauty even as a child. Her beauty was the whole reason I got her as a personal slave from my mother, so I forced the definition of a friend upon her to maintain my sanity-“

“Wait… that little girl… it couldn’t be that she…”

“… most likely loves you…”

Shirley responded with a nod, causing Davis to freeze before he sighed exasperatedly at himself.

These were things he didn’t bother to think about because, at that time, he wasn’t even a womanizer in his thoughts. He was wholeheartedly pursuing Evelynn at that time that he didn’t have time to think about Ellia even though there may have been awkward conversations between them that openly screamed she loved him.

Thinking back, it wasn’t that he couldn’t see but subconsciously chose to ignore them.

Isabella and Shirley looked at him but didn’t blame him. Instead, they were shocked at the fact that he didn’t lose his innocence to someone like Ellia despite having her as a personal slave.

After all, it defeats the whole point of bringing her into the imperial family as a personal slave.

As imperial princesses, they knew that even their own half-brothers lost their virginity at the age of eight or perhaps a bit higher.

Davis’s expression became solemn as he looked at Shirley, the one who had most contact with Ellia in the past few years.

“Do you think that Ellia still loves me?”

“I can’t say with confidence, but I can say that her voice was tinged with longing whenever she talked about you.”

Davis narrowed her eyes as he raised his hand, “Say no more.”

He was already going to get her back regardless, but if this was the case, the urge to get her back only grew stronger.

He stood up with a hint of coldness gleaming in his eyes.

“Ah…!”

Shirley suddenly realized that she should’ve kept her mouth shut. She hurriedly stood up and clasped his hand.

“No, you are not to clash with her at this moment.”

“Jeez, calm down…”

Davis’s voice became low as he grabbed her shoulder and made her sit back. He didn’t want her becoming agitated for no reason.

“As I said, I’m not going back to fight with her.” Davis lowered his head, aligning his gaze with her misty crimson-ruby eyes as he smiled at her.

“That old hag Myria maybe be your friend, and I promise I’ll try my best to hold back, but as I said before, it all depends on her actions and words.”

Shirley bit her lips, “She helped me a lot.”

“I know.”

“Saved me a lot…”

“I know.”

“Became my star that shined my path to you.”

“I…”

Davis was truly flabbergasted this time while Shirley brought his hands to her face and shed tears.

“Without her, I wouldn’t be alive nor have been able to save you, so please don’t clash and try to kill each other. I don’t want to see that, but I’ll accept whatever you decide to do.”

Davis released a breath as his smile returned.

The women he loved were passionate and loyal to a fault that he couldn’t really find that as a fault. Shirley wanting to save Myria from his wrath was what also made him feel endearing towards her, towards them, because they were all genuine in what they wanted to do.

“Why are you smiling…?” Shirley felt embarrassed.

However, a soft feeling instantly covered her lips, causing her to freeze before that feeling left. Only his smile remained in her gaze.

“Because I can’t get enough of your preciousness and kind heart that even saved a dying man from unleashing his utter wrath over millions of people…”

Davis chuckled before he disappeared, the door clattering before it got closed, leaving behind a dumbfounded Shirley and a smirking Isabella who was ready to tease her.

As Davis came out, he saw that the scenario had already changed in the battle stage as four youths appeared to be staring at each other with intensity.

“Oh, the second round already seems to have started…”

“Yes, but it’s just two Supreme Domain Law Dominion Stage Cultivators we don’t have to pay any attention to…”

Evelynn appeared beside him as she smiled, leaning over him to place a kiss on his cheek.

At the same time, she sent him a soul transmission, filling him with the details of the first round.

Instantly, his eyes narrowed as he looked towards the Ascending Path Sect before he turned to look at the person in question before he headed towards them. When he arrived at the destination, he stood in front of his dazzlingly beautiful younger sister.

“Clara, you’ve become the first in the hearts of many, I heard?”

“Yes, brother.”

Clara’s voice sounded pleased that he asked her about her accomplishments. By this time, the people stopped yapping about why she wasn’t the first to battle in the second round as they all wanted to see her battle again.

Davis nodded with a satisfied smile.

“I also hear that this Jambei is a powerful opponent, but you easily defeated him?”

“No, it was not easy.” Clara shook her head before she sent him a soul transmission, “I was using my full defensive power, although I didn’t use my Transcendent Truth Eyes. On the other hand, he didn’t come at me with the intent to kill. His wind is strong, but feelings towards me were blocking his might from having the upper hand over me, not to mention that he was worried about offending you.”

Davis’s heart shook.

Evelynn said that Jambei tried to court Clara but failed, but if Clara had this kind of opinion about him, saying he was strong, then…

“Oh, what do you think about him?” Davis raised his brows, “Do you li-“

“Brother, I said before that I have no intentions to marry.”

Clara’s eyes instantly narrowed as she understood what he had to say even before he could finish.

“The path of a ruler is one bound to be alone. Even men with Transcendent Truth Eyes don’t bother with their women and merely see them as tools to extend their legacy. It’s written in the records of the Heaven Mandate Temple as well. Therefore, I’m convinced that I truly don’t care about romance that I’ve read in books placed in our family’s literature and cultural section of the imperial library.”

Davis’s heart fell on hearing her words.

Clara was convinced that she wouldn’t have romantic feelings as the records said so? Isn’t that even more of a curse than a blessing as she was born a human, a being with emotions to exude and love?

Nevertheless, he didn’t look saddened but instead patted her shoulder.

“Don’t worry. Your brother will accompany you in whatever destiny you decide to walk. Your physique might’ve decided one thing for you, but it is entirely up to you in how you want to live your life.”

‘After all, I found that I’m quite a fate-changer myself…’

Davis turned to look at the battle stage below as he watched the battle with an amused light in his eyes. But on the other hand, Clara appeared taken aback before she lowered her head and mumbled incoherent words ever so lightly that even a person listening to her wouldn’t be able to discover what she spoke, but, if roughly translated to, would sound like.

“As I said before, I will always be with you, brother.”

Except, this time, she wasn’t able to voice it out like she had always been able to for some reason as it confused her.

“Uh, did you say something?”

Davis turned to look at her with confusion as he felt like he heard something that was incomprehensible, but Clara nodded her head as she decided to try again.

“Me too. I will also accompany brother in whatever path of destiny you decide to walk on. My power will be of utmost use to you, brother.”

Davis’s eyes were wide with delight as he heard Clara’s gentle voice.

If a ruler can feel familial love, then being able to love romantically should also be possible! However, his excitement died down as quickly as it came because he realized that he would have to end up giving his innocent little sister away in marriage.

‘Well, I guess I could just pretend that this conversation didn’t happen selectively…’

He cast his gaze back to the battle stage, mindlessly watching their battle.
