"How?" Viktor asked as he regained his bearings after being lifted up by his woman. His mind was a mess but he still wanted to know how it had happened, how the extermination of the Loret Family actually took place.
He didn’t want to believe it and even felt it to be surreal, however, his brother calmly spoke with a solemn expression on his face which made him understand otherwise.
Logan started to explain the events that took place during the rebellion. He didn’t leave any details but precisely explained the happenings and how he managed to gather support and wage war against the traitors for 3 years before emerging as the victor during the rebellion with his wife, Claire.
"And finally, I slew the heads of the four heads of the Noble Families and managed to kill the other two later even though they plotted to kidnap my first son."
Logan was at the last part of his explanation but he suddenly paused when he noticed Claire walking towards him with an object in her hands.
She stood before him and donned the object over his shoulders; the royal clothes which the Emperor wore.
Logan tidied himself and flicked his sleeves, "That year, I married Claire and officially became the Emperor of the Loret Empire. If you don’t believe me, you can ask anyone here, even the citizens probably know of the story."
After the explanation ended, Jonas and Viktor had a listless expression on their faces as if they weren’t really listening to the explanation. But one could see the deep scar in their eyes, an emotional scar which couldn’t be gotten rid off easily.
Logan inwardly sighed. When his parents died, he had the same reaction but Claire was there for him to be consoled as he was encompassed in her warmth, which resulted in giving birth to Davis at that time.
Jonas depressingly muttered as he plopped to the ground, "Mother..."
Meng Ying held Viktor as she caressed him. She could understand bits and pieces of the universal language of this cultivation world since Viktor had taught her in her free time for their future.
He actually wanted to introduce her to his parents, but they were no more.
She had thought that she would receive blessings or even curses from his parents, but it looked like they weren’t even here to do that.
Meng Ying understood his pain and silently comforted him while she also felt depressed.
Logan shook his head once again as he saw them. He had shared this pain once too, so he obviously knew how deep it could reflect on one’s life.
It made him unable to achieve breakthroughs for a long period of time, not until he had something known as family to rely on.
The Throne Hall was silent as it could get; pin-drop silence. The long silence didn’t bother Logan and Claire, but the officials were fidgeting from the unnerving silence.
Exactly five minutes later, Jonas stood up as he wiped his tears away. He silently left the Throne Hall, not bothering to look back.
Another ten minutes later, Viktor also regained his bearings as he continuously nodded his head as if he was accepting the facts laid before him,
Before long, he uttered, "Prepare a room for us... Fifth... No, Emperor." He shook his head as he wryly smiled.
Logan wanted them to not use honorifics, but he nodded his head. He personally led those two out of the Throne Hall and made their way to an unused room.
While on his way, he saw many gathered outside, including his own children which he fathered from other women.
Even Clara, Diana, and Edward were there, curious to see the ongoing commotion because everyone had more or less noticed the powerful undulations befalling the Royal Castle twenty minutes ago.
He didn’t see Davis and automatically assumed that he was monitoring through Soul Sense.
======
Davis returned to his room after monitoring what had happened in the Throne Hall, whereupon he saw Evelynn sitting in his bed, at if she was waiting for him.
"You didn’t go watch the commotion? Davis asked as he suddenly materialized in the room, no, not materialized but shut off his Dark Concealing Shroud Art, making him visible to the eyes of the others.
Evelynn was not at all startled as she answered, "I didn’t want to cause any trouble to you, besides, it isn’t my turn to fight against invaders..."
She had become accustomed to his scare tactics whereupon he would continue to pounce on her after seeing her antics.
Davis was amused at her answer. It looks like he had given her too much comfort and status that she truly began to act like a princess. Although not the expected behavior during an invasion, he was content nonetheless.
Otherwise, should he expect her to meet the enemy in his stead when the others who can resolve the trouble are currently present? That would be truly disgusting of him.
Taking a step back, even if there was no one to meet the enemy in a situation except Evelynn, he still wouldn’t want her to engage as he was extremely protective of her, not wanting her to get hurt in the least.
Davis then proceeded to explain what he had heard in the Throne Hall to Evelynn. Inwardly, he swore that the person he most talked to in his entire life changed from Ellia to Evelynn.
Evelynn nodded her head in understanding, a pitiable expression appeared on her face, "I see, it is truly a tragic experienced for them. I wish that they could recover sooner..."
"Hmm... They would, but it might take longer or even sooner. Who knows? It depends upon how much they treasured their family and their home but the answer is obvious when I saw their brokenhearted expressions from the shadows."
Evelynn pouted slightly, "You need to stop spying on people, it’s a bad habit, especially when I’m in the bath!"
Davis turned embarrassed as he shamelessly laughed, "Can’t help it... Whether it is you or the others, it is better if they don’t notice me when I spy..."
’Hmm... Wait! The way I worded it, sounds obviously wrong! As if I peeped on other women!’ Davis inwardly sweated but seeing that Evelynn only shrugged to his reply, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it didn’t turn into a misunderstood battlefield caused by the slight of his tongue.
"And the way you explained... You slightly seemed interested in the woman who wore something you called as eyeglasses..."
Davis narrowed his eyes as he inwardly mused, ’Why is she so keen whenever I mention other women?’
However, he answered as he nodded, "I am interested in that woman but not in a romantic way."
Evelynn turned confused.
"It relates to one of my secrets..."
Evelynn made an understanding expression on her face as she nodded. She asked no more and wasn’t invasive but one could see the curiosity in her eyes.
Davis inwardly chuckled but didn’t explain as that would take a long time and a lot of misunderstandings to be cleared.
It could actually backfire on him for all he knew.
Imagine him telling that he was not Davis but Tian Long in the dead Davis’s Body. She would totally misunderstand in many ways and he can say goodbye to his married life.
Although he knew that she would trust him to an enormous degree, that trust would depend if he was he, not someone else.
Davis had an idea on how to clear this mess but it still wasn’t the right time to tell her about this. At least, he wouldn’t tell her unless he was absolutely sure of convincing her that he was the one who loved her, not the dead Davis.
He smiled and ran his fingers through her silky green hair, his face gentle.
"I guess that I would be soon leaving in a month or two..."
Evelynn was suddenly startled, she gasped his caressing hand and asked, "Why? You told..."
Davis cut her off, "Not to the First Layer, but the place where that woman came from..."
Evelynn suddenly understood that it was once again something related to his secrets.
She answered as she bit her lips, "Alright..."
Davis ran his fingers again through her hair and caressed her cheeks, "Don’t worry, I would return soon after leaving..."
Evelynn closed her eyes as she felt his warm hands.
"... I guess." He then added, feeling bad to lie to her, after all, he might stay there for a few months to discover the secrets of Fallen Heaven. He guessed that there might be actually a clue left in the place where Fallen Heaven had been sealed.
’I wouldn’t know without actually heading there...’ Davis mused as his hands caressed her rosy cheeks.
He slightly moved his hands to her earlobe and pinched it as he massaged, feeling the softness.
Evelynn turned confused as she felt him message her earlobes but as time passed by, her expression slowly changed into one of languid satisfaction.
Davis smiled as he moved his other hand to her other earlobe and simultaneously massaged both of them.
Feeling the increase in Evelynn’s warmth from her cheeks on his palm, he knew that she was thoroughly enjoying his massage.
’Sadly, what I’m trying to do is no massage...’ Davis inwardly mused as lips curved up into a grin. He removed one of his hands from her earlobes, causing Evelynn to open her eyes in dissatisfaction.
She pouted and turned her head, feeling the warmth of his palms in her lips.
Feeling the soft yet wet squishiness on his palm, he slightly moved his hand away from her lips and touched her other cheek with the back of his palm.
Caressing her once more, he felt her hot breath blowing on the back of his wrist.
Taking the hand away from her cheeks, he ran his fingers through her hair once more as if he did it for the first time.
"Mnn~" Evelynn gave a sound of dissatisfaction as she pouted.
"Haha..." Davis slightly laughed seeing that his tease had worked her up.
He pressed her pouted cheek and caressed again while her expression became slowly addicted as she narrowed her eyes lazily to enjoy the feeling.
After caressing and pinching her earlobe for a while, he slightly moved his hand down and grasped her chin, lifting it up.
Just when Evelynn opened her narrowed eyes, she saw his deep yet desiring blue eyes deeply gazing at hers. Her face automatically ripened into a red tomato.
Davis was in a trance as her blushing face came into his view. He did all that to see this face after all.
He leaned in took her lips, savoring her soft yet sweet tongue as he pried it open with his tongue.
Evelynn’s closed her eyes again as her body went automatically limp from all the blood that had rushed to her head.
Davis pushed her on the bed slowly and didn’t even let her retaliate as he forcefully pushed his tongue inside her mouth.
Evelynn felt her mouth being dominated and caressed by his tongue but didn’t resist as she let him do whatever he pleased. She could only shut her eyes in pleasure as she received his love.
Davis moved his tongue back and used his lips to savor her lush lips, tasting her sweetness. He leaned towards the side of her neck and rained down kisses as he imprinted her fragrance into his mind.
"Mnnn~" Evelynn gasped with a moan as she wrapped her arms around his neck from the irresistible pleasure.
She could feel him suckling on her neck as his hot breath tickled her sexual nerves.
"Aahn~ Mmm~"
Seeing her actively respond to his love, Davis felt the intense need to conquer her again.
He quickly removed her white-green robes as her two bountiful yet perky bosoms came into his view. He feasted his eyes on it before proceeding to strip her naked as he did the same to himself.
Grasping his rock hard shaft, he guided it to her hole. With a swift thrust, he buried himself deep into her wet walls and felt it clamp down on him heavily.
Taking a deep breath, he clasped her waists with both his hands and thrust deep and hard at her inner walls.
