Hearing Ellia’s words, Davis frowned.
He couldn’t decide whether to call Ellia here or not, because thinking positively, it might be a good experience for her, but as a result, she might experience getting bullied.
From the seats below, a little girl stood up and walked above.
"Oh?" Davis turned his head and was astonished to see the sight.
Ellia headed to the place where the emperors sat, by herself, without anyone’s encouragement.
She held her head straight as she kept staring at Shirley while walking with bold steps.
Once she reached that place, she trembled a moment before those powerful emperors before calming down herself as she took a deep breath.
She then clasped her hands and greeted the emperors as she bowed slightly, "Ellia greets all the emperors!"
"Hmph!" Emperor Tritor harrumphed while many others frowned.
According to ethics and hierarchy, a servant should bow down on all fours. What Ellia did was showing them little respect, it could be even said that she no respect.
"Little girl, aren’t you overstepping your bounds?" Emperor Ruth asked.
Ellia just shook her head with a calm facade. Since she decided to come here, she decided that she will give her best till the end so that she can prove herself to be worthy to be his friend.
"Oh...?" Emperor Ruth rubbed his chin as he smiled, he wondered what confidence this girl had to be this impertinent in front of them.
"You, a servant, regardless of your age, tried to seduce the prince! Do you know what kind of offence is that and what kind of punishment it leads to!?" Shirley was almost sure that this little girl used her innocent facade to seduce Davis. After all, in her eyes, all she saw was that this little girl could even stand in front of the emperors while still disrespecting them.
Hearing that, Ellia sighed. ’As expected, it always comes to that...’
"As of today, I’m no longer a servant of Prince Davis," Ellia said solemnly, each word echoed in Davis’s ears as he smiled.
Logan was puzzled, ’When did this happen?’
"Emperor Loret, is that true?" Emperor Ashton asked as he had to support his daughter.
Logan didn’t reply but looked at Davis. Seeing that Davis didn’t have any problem with her response, he understood that it was true.
Logan nodded his head, "It certainly is..."
"I knew it! The Sky Grade Cultivation Techniques she uses are from your Loret Empire." Emperor Aston shouted.
Just before Davis opened his mouth to explain that,
"I am now an independent common cultivator and also a friend of Prince Davis. As of now, I’m a free person. Furthermore, I promise to work under Prince Davis as a subordinate to repay the favour he had shown me my whole life." Ellia said as she tightened her fists’
"Heh, is that any different from being a servant?" Shirley sneered.
Ellia replied, her headstrong will pushed her forward, "It is, my life is no longer in the hands of others."
"You’re wrong, that is your delusion. Your fate is still decided by the strong cultivators, like me. All I need is a single hit to end your puny life." Shirley extended her hands as she pointed towards Ellia’s forehead. She had a half inch long nail on her fingers.
Suddenly, a voice erupted from her side, as if continuing her sentence.
"And try to make a single scratch on her, let me see if you’re still alive the next second!"
"You!" Shirley pointed her finger at Davis as she trembled in anger.
A moment later, she believed what he said was untrue, but his cold eyes seemed to say otherwise. She obviously didn’t expect him to go this far.
"Jejejeje! This kind of hilarious spectacle is the first I’ve ever seen from the Prince of an Empire. Emperor Loret, can’t you see that your son is disgracing himself for the sake of a lowly slave. I guess it wasn’t a mistake to believe that the Loret Empire has fallen with the fall of your late father, jeje!" Emperor Tritor, who was silent this whole time finally saw an opportunity to annul this marriage alliance between the Loret Empire and the Ashton Empire.
Logan stood up as his aura flared up, he couldn’t stand it when someone disrespected his father.
Davis narrowed his eyes. He finally had enough of this person who always seemed to piss him off.
"And you! Why the hell are you spouting nonsense!? Weren’t you the one who sent this overgrown Inverted Harmless Viper to hunt me down? Emperor Tri-shit!" Davis snapped as he took out the corpse from his space ring.
"What!? Is it true!? Logan and Emperor Ashton simultaneously shouted, seeing the Inverted Harmless Viper corpse.
"Insolence! You dare to frame me! Do you know the punishment for a false charge against an Emperor as well as disrespecting an Emperor!?" Emperor Tritor’s heart skipped a beat, but he still feigned an angry facade as he shouted. His facial expression denoted that he was falsely accused.
"Hmph! Everyone would know whether if I’m framing you or not!" Davis grinned before continuing, "Everyone, do you know the time when a certain part of the Firzen Island’s projection went down?"
"Yes, how do you know that?" Emperor Ruth questioned, quite inquisitive.
"I know that because I saw some strange bird hunt down the monitoring bugs around us at that time. In the next moment, the Inverted Harmless Viper attacked us the moment these monitoring bugs were devoured."
"If I remember correctly, wasn’t the tamed beast of Emperor Tritor, a bird?"
"Yes, it’s the Vicious Eye Hawk." Emperor Ashton nodded his head.
"No matter how I see it, it doesn’t seem like a coincidence!" Davis said calmly, but there was a faint killing intent in his eyes.
"Jeje, so what? I was the one who sent it to kill you, what are you going to do about it?"Emperor Tritor sneered. He didn’t bother hiding anymore as he got caught red-handed. Because if he struggled pathetically, it would totally ruin his name and it would only be a matter of time before they investigate and find out which will ruin his reputation.
"Emperor Tritor, you’ve gone overboard this time!"Logan stepped up with a solemn expression. This time he was really pissed off as Emperor Tritor played with something he shouldn’t have played with.
