Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 34 - A Day Out



Chapter 34: A Day Out

The next day.

Davis finally got approval from his parents Claire and Logan, to roam the Royal Capital, but they agreed only on one condition. That is, he must be accompanied by the Imperial Guards at all times, at least close by. His maid was accompanying him as well.

Renard Nolan and two imperial guards who were at the Third Stage were assigned to him. The two other guards were basically at the Iron Stage and Revolving Core Stage in Body Tempering Cultivation and Essence Gathering Cultivation, respectively.

Only Renard Nolan was at the Peak-Level Iron Stage, Low-Level Body Transformation Stage, and Mid-Level Nascent Soul Stage.

Iron Stage is the Third Stage in Body Tempering Cultivation, while the Body Transformation Stage is the Fourth Stage in the Essence Gathering Cultivation System.

Davis became excited to have the chance to roam around the imperial capital. He felt like a child who was going to experience a field trip. Of course, he didn't know what that feeling was since he didn't get to experience one in his previous life in the first place.

Davis, Ellia, and the Royal Guards had just exited the Royal Castle. He was still wearing the royal outfit while Ellia was in her royal maid outfit, and the imperial guards wore shiny red armor.

They went inside a carriage that reeked of the word 'royalty'. It had royal blue patterned insignia all over its body, indicating that it was from the Imperial Loret Family.

After being seated, the carriage took off. Then without much surprise, they were all silent.

Davis felt like he had to say something since he felt the atmosphere was rather stern.

"I've waited for this so long, Renard."

"Yes, your highness. I've heard that your highness been cooped up all year in the Imperial Castle."

"Hmm, that was pretty sad," Davis replied sadly, and suddenly he remembered.

"Oh yeah, I've never got to thank you for rescuing me from that place. Thank you, Mister Renard."

"No need to thank me, your highness. It was my duty, after all." Renard responded with an indifferent expression on his face.

"Hehe... Don't be so stiff. I want to make friends too." Davis smiled a bit.

"Friends? But my status doesn't al…"

"If I say I wanna make friends, then I want to make friends! You got something to say about it?" Davis shot a glare, using his identity as a child to throw a tantrum.

"…" Ellia and the others blinked. 

Ellia couldn't fathom what was going on in this prince's mind. He was drastically different than what she imagined.

"Your Highness, you can't be like this. You have your position and status as a Crown Prince. Please don't make it difficult for us." Renard wryly smiled.

If word gets out that he made friends with the Crown Prince, then he would be suspected of taking advantage of the prince's kindness.

To him, it was no different than being framed.

"... Alright." Davis then realized that his kindness could also be fatal to others sometimes. Since the other party lacked the courage, he no longer cared about and looked outside the carriage.

The scenery was beautiful, with large buildings built in many different styles. On one side, he could see an old Japanese-style residence, and on the other side, he could see an old Chinese style manor.

Seeing that, Davis remained shocked.

"What is this? Why are the buildings a mixture of so many cultures?"

"Cultures? Oh! Does the prince mean the architecture of the building? There are many types of architectures available from the Ancient Era. This is the New Age Era, so we don't differentiate between cultures anymore. We just take them as a type of architecture." Renard Nolan explained.

'New Age Era! I've read about it. It looks like the Ancient Era had many people from Earth visiting this world. It looks like I'm not the only one...' Davis mused

"Legend had it that the Sky Word Emperor sacrificed his life to bring the end of the Ancient Era. It was rumored that he was a man with great ambition. He managed to use his powers to grant a new language to all the living beings in the universe. It is said that led to people and magical beasts communicating much better with each other and the creation of a New Era, the New Age Era, but no one knows the authenticity of it."

"Oh, now I know why it is being called the Sky Word Language or the Language of the World," Ellia commented in response but quickly placed her hands on her mouth, feeling that she had interrupted out of place.

But contrary to her thoughts, no one came to bully or place her down.

Davis kept looking at the window. He could see people walking to and fro, sometimes staring at the carriage with awe.

He could see the capital city guards in every street they drove to, and he could see that they were at least at the Second Stage in either the Body Cultivation System or the Essence Gathering System.

'So they can be all commanded by me...' Davis felt a sense of surrealism.

Being cooped up in the imperial castle all day long, everyone listened to him, but they didn't nod to all his demands as there were many restrictions on him, with the main being that he was not allowed to go out.

Hence, he never felt that he was a 'prince' in a sense. But now, it wasn't the case anymore.

He could tell them to die, and they would die. If not, the opportunistic others would force them to die!

Just as the carriage was passing by, he saw a building that was four stories tall. There was a big banner-like board in front of the building that displayed [Cauldon Emporium].

"Stop the carriage." Davis suddenly uttered.

"What is it, your highness?" Renard asked with a doubtful gaze.

"I want to visit that Emporium, stand guard here..." Davis pointed with his finger.

"As you command, your highness. If there are any emergencies, immediately contact me." Renard Nolan handed him a crystal.

"I understand." Davis took the crystal and placed it in his spatial ring.

Yesterday, he got an Earth Grade Spatial Ring as his birthday present from his father. Needless to say, he can use it to store objects as long as it doesn't have any life in it. He had played with it for some time before he got bored with it.

At that time, Ellia was looking at him strangely, wondering what he was doing, but he didn't mind it and played to his heart's content. After all, it was a damn spatial ring that could store objects!

Davis and Ellia got out of the carriage. They walked and arrived in front of the Cauldon Emporium while the imperial guards stood near the carriage with their backs straight, and their sharp spears pointed to the skies.

A person immediately arrived from the Cauldon Emporium at a hurried pace. He was dressed wealthily, his body decorated with all kinds of jewelry like gemstones. He had short green hair. He appeared a little fat and ran with dragged steps.

"This... please forgive me for arriving late to pick you up, your highness!"

"It's fine, and I never said that I was going to visit this place beforehand."

Davis wasn't surprised that this person knew his appearance because Cauldon Family was one of the two surviving Noble Family, and this person was obviously someone from the Cauldon Family.

"I thank your highness for your understanding. My name is George Cauldon, and I'm currently the manager of this Emporium. Let's go inside, shall we, your highness?" Despite Davis being a small child, the manager didn't dare to not give enough respect.

After all, the next heir to the throne was none other than Davis since there didn't seem to be Second Prince being born yet. In fact, this matter presented a headache to Logan in the Imperial Court as they would sometimes advise him the Emperor to 'work' hard.

But they didn't dare to ask him to take another woman as a concubine because Logan had already made an example out of someone who tried to set him up.

Davis nodded his head to the manager's statement, looking cool and calm. They then started walking inside the Cauldon Emporium.

As he walked, he could see a lot of sellers with boards beside them in their respective stalls, and some even possessed a legit and luxurious shop that looked colorful.

"So, what is this place for exactly?" Davis asked with a slight amount of curiosity etched in his face.

"Your Highness, this place is our Cauldon Family's Emporium. We sell various kinds of treasures here, and it also acts as a marketplace. A lot of vagabonds and merchants also come here to set up their shops here since we also provide high security for their merchandise."

"Oh? You mean that I can also set up a shop here?"

"Hoho, your highness sure can joke!"

"No, I'm serious." Davis lifted his brows.

George Cauldon only hesitated for a moment, "This... your highness can also set up a shop, but no one would dare to compete with you leading to less income for us."

"Haha," Davis slightly laughed, "You are straightforward. I like it."

"I'm relieved..." George Cauldon smiled back. His lips were a bit greasy, perhaps from eating magical beast meat.

They chatted for a few minutes as they walked. Just when they passed by the Cauldon Pill Store, Davis paused and looked at it. He was curious about pills.

"Oh, that is our Pill Store, we sell various pills of renowned quality in there," George Cauldon explained briefly with a casual glance.

He unhurriedly walked into the store while looking around, taking a glance at the wares. A young lady came forward and greeted them gracefully.

"Hurry, the young prince is here. Get the Young Mistress here to greet the young prince!" George hurriedly sent a Soul Transmission to her.

'What!?' The young lady was utterly dumbfounded as she shot a look at the little boy. Then she hurriedly nodded her head at the manager and returned inside, not daring to delay.
