Night finally arrived.
For the first time, Davis felt that he had never waited so much in his life.
He left the Royal Castle and made his way to the Cauldon Emporium.
The Cauldon Emporium was still open.
Cultivator shops are normally open during the night as well as they don’t require much sleep but are keen on their profits.
Davis wore a black robe as he activated his Dark Concealing Shroud Art to conceal his aura, but not his presence.
He then entered the Cauldon Emporium casually. The staff saw him come inside but they didn’t go disturb him since he was dressed in a black robe.
Black-robed people usually conceal their identity and don’t want to be disturbed unless they require some help, so they didn’t opt to go near him.
He then made his way to the Cauldon Pill Store straight away without taking any detour.
Just when he entered the Cauldon Pill Store, he was greeted by the same young lady he met last time.
"Dear customer, how may I help you?"
Davis had a headache. He didn’t want to reveal his voice or his disguised voice either.
He just pointed at the pills kept in a shelf randomly.
"Oh, what kind of pill do you like, senior?"
He ignored her went to grab the catalogue that was placed on the desk near the entrance.
The young lady got mad and started to ignore him as well as she went minding her own business. She only approached Davis to get acquainted and earn a sum from the commission if he bought something.
Meanwhile, he used his soul to probe around the Cauldon Pill Store. He was confident that with his Soul Cultivation, no one could detect his probing here unless they had an Adult Soul Stage expert hidden here.
He got sight of Evelynn’s location, so he broke the jade crystal silently when no one was looking.
...
Evelynn who was cultivating with all her mind in a room was just about to swallow the pill which Davis gave, in her mouth.
"Hmm?" She felt something break in her space ring.
She got it out and it was the pieces of the jade crystal.
’He’s here!’ Evelynn’s eyes went wide.
’He really came! But how? With all those guards assigned to him, he managed to sneak out? Or did he come with some other people?’
Evelynn had her doubts but she quickly got up and headed to the hall of the Cauldon Pill Store, but she suddenly stopped right at the door of her room
’No, If I go receive him personally, then people will suspect us...’ She thought.
"Miss, where are you going?" Maisy asked.
"Maisy, go invite a certain person who is in the hall of our Cauldon Pill Store to my room."
"But Miss... Who exactly should I invite?" Maisy asked in confusion.
Evelynn contemplated for a moment before answering.
"You just stand there in the main hall, that certain person will probably come to you."
"This... Okay..." Maisy replied in confusion before heading out herself.
....
Davis who was waiting there was browsing the catalogue as if he won’t accept anyone’s help, and he finally saw a young girl coming from a certain direction.
He recognized her as Evelynn’s servant. He then saw her being fidgety and looking around for some reason.
’Is she possibly searching for me?’ Davis thought.
He closed the catalogue and then approached her.
It didn’t take long for him to stand in front of her.
Maisy who saw the black-robed person asked nervously.
"Are you...."
Davis just nodded his head.
He thought she was going to ask if she was Prince Davis, so he quickly nodded his head. He didn’t know that she was just going to ask if he was the person her Young Miss wanted to invite.
Maisy then nodded and said, "My Young Miss invited you to her room, please follow me."
She then left in a certain direction.
Davis then followed her. He knew where she was going but he couldn’t just go alone.
After a few minutes, they arrived in front of a door.
She opened it while he went in. She then followed him inside.
Suddenly, Davis and Evelynn who saw each other started chuckling together for no reason.
’Eh? Eh!??’ Maisy who saw this couldn’t understand. She could tell from the laughing voice that the other party was a male.
Davis who saw Evelynn smiling did not waste time and got to the point as he didn’t know how long he could stay here.
"Miss Evelynn, I’ve come to propose to you officially."
Evelynn was startled. It was just as she thought, he liked her for some reason now.
"No!! Young Miss is already engaged, you can’t propose to her!" Maisy defended as she stood in front of Evelynn.
They then both were startled. Davis looked at Evelynn only to see her laugh gently.
"You finally came, my love!" Evelynn said teasingly and winked at Davis.
He got the underlying meaning in her wink.
’This woman really has guts and can keep her calm. She even dares to make misunderstandings, and is a little playful?’ Davis thought but decided to not threw sand on her efforts.
"Oh my Evelynn, how long has it been till I last saw you." He extended his hand, playing along.
"It has been too long, my love." She took his hand betting on the fact that he won’t do anything to her.
"Miss! You are having an affair? No way!" Maisy who saw this got confused that she started pulling at her hair.
They both then laughed together, seeing that she was tricked.
Maisy got even more confused, so Davis finally stopped his act and removed his hood.
"You!... You are that br...Prince Davis." Maisy almost blurted out but she quickly held her tongue.
’Did this girl just call me a brat?’ Davis’s eyes twitched.
Evelynn just smiled at the sight.
Davis who also saw that was thankful to Maisy for creating a good atmosphere.
He didn’t know how to create an atmosphere for her to comfortably talk with him, after all, he wasn’t well versed in approaching women.
