Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 327 The Reason For Her Worries

Royal Castle, Davis’s room.

The world just welcomed dawn with light shining the skies.

Davis woke up and his slight movement woke Evelynn up as well.

Their eyes met and they both slightly smiled at each other, especially Evelynn, her eyes smitten with love.

"Good morning... Evelynn..." Davis kissed her forehead and sat up.

Evelynn smiled gently and made a strange sound as if she was purring.

Davis was flabbergasted as he looked back but seeing that she went back to sleep, he shook his head while being amused.

He didn’t know how he slept beside a delicacy without doing nothing at all. Maybe it had to do with him comforting her or himself to be exact.

All these years, during the time he spent in the First Layer, he doubted himself since he seemed to hold lust towards her whenever he thought of her.

Did he possess no affection for her in the first place? But yesterday’s event proved him wrong. It made him realize that he did indeed possess affection and love towards her.

As he sat there on the bed pondering, he started to think about what to do next.

’So far, the Empire seems to be in peace but I need to check the situation in other empires before I can relax completely.’

Princess Isabella Ruth came back from the FIrst Layer, stronger than ever. Would that cause the ambitions of the Ruth Empire to grow to dangerous levels?

He wasn’t sure, nor did he think that Princess Isabella was one such person who would turn out to be evil.

There was still Mark Ruth, who was the emperor of the Ruth Empire, Isabella’s father, and also his acquaintance. He wasn’t worried much that they would start a war with Loret Empire for no reason.

’Then, there’s the thing about Immortal Inheritances, should I participate in the trial as well?’

There was the Ice Phoenix Immortal Trial, Fire Phoenix Immortal Trial, and the Earth Dragon Immortal Trial.

There were three of them present but he was hesitant if he should go participate in the trial for a single reason.

’Other than these, there’s Ellia’s appearance that I have to investigate, and also meet with the new additions to the... family?’

Ellia’s appearance in the Royal Castle after she had been possessed was totally unexpected for him.

When he was the unknown intruder who shook the Royal Castle, his mother actually asked him whether if he was Ellia through Soul Transmission.

That was enough to give him a clue that she actually came here after he left for the First Layer.

He didn’t know for what reason she came here but he decided that he will later ask the specifics from his mother.

As for meeting his step-siblings...

Davis shook his head, ’I guess I don’t need to...’

Suddenly, he felt her hands wrapping him into a hug from his back. He smiled, ’Before all these, I need to marry her... hehe.’

Truly, he might’ve been able to contain his lust yesterday but it remained unknown that if he will be able to hold it back until marriage.

An evil smiled crept up his face as he pulled her into his front making her lie on his lap.

"Say, when should we tie the knot?"

Evelynn pondered as she looked at him, "I don’t know, you decide..."

"Me? I didn’t attend any marriages before so I don’t know the specifics..." He wryly smiled and asked, "Why don’t we just leave it to my mother?"

"Hmm, anything you say..." Evelynn nodded.

He suddenly thought, ’Leaving it up to me? Is this a test?’

He had seen women testing their men in the shows he watched when he was on Planet Earth. Could it be like that?

’If so, did I pass or fail?’

He chuckled and brushed her long, lush green hair with his fingers, interlocking it in his grasp.

"So... Why did you cry yesterday? It can’t be just you were moved to tears that I came back, no?" Davis smilingly asked that was in his mind.

Although she acted like it was over, and he acted like it was probably nothing, he felt uneasy not knowing the reason.

It could be literally anything, and anything could have happened in these years.

At the same time, Evelynn froze.

She then avoided his gaze and said, "I was just afraid that you had forgotten about me..."

"Eh? Why would I? Didn’t I promise to marry you? Are my promises worth nothing?" Davis asked with an angry expression on his face.

Were his words worth fart? He believed himself to be a man of his words, especially when it came to promises.

Evelynn stammered as she saw his expression, "It... It’s not like that... I was just alone and... and..."

"And what?"

"She... I was worried that she..." Evelynn closed her mouth with her hands.

"She? She who?" Davis asked as he widened his brows in confusion.

Davis had noticed her avoiding his gaze, so he pretended to be angry again, and with this, he pretty much confirmed she was hiding something.

As for whether it was good or bad, he didn’t know, so he continued to probe.

But now, he was slightly angry that she was hiding things from him.

Although he was hiding secrets from her, he eventually planned to tell her when the time was right.

With a disappointed expression on his face, he said, "Evelynn, I thought we don’t hide things from each other..."

Evelynn saw his expression and felt a slight pang of pain in her heart.

She heaved a sigh as she gave up, "It’s Shirley..."

Hearing her say the word he least... no, never expected to hear, he turned angry, "What? Did she do something to you!?"

Evelynn hurriedly shook her head, "No, she did nothing to me!"

"Eh?" Davis turned confused. Then why was she worried?

He squeezed his brows and said, "Alright, I won’t interrupt... Just say what had happened..."

Evelynn nodded her head in anxiety, then she started to explain about Shirley’s actions and achievements. Davis slowly had a complicated expression appearing on his face.
