Chapter 1862: Dont Clash...
Isabella and Shirley were taken aback over Daviss declaration. Then, they quickly wondered how he mustve loved her back then to be still caring about her.
After all, Ellia was the first friend I made in this world...
...
Friend?
Isabella and Shirleys expressions fell as they heard Daviss utterance.
Was this womanizer for real?
You... you do not love her?
Shirley asked because when Ellia spoke to her, it certainly seemed like she liked him a lot that it could be translated to love.
What... no...?
On the other hand, Davis looked amused before his expression faded, even replaced with confusion.
Now that I think about it... Ellias certainly a top-tier beauty. I didnt think she would actually grow this beautiful.
What do you mean? Shirley narrowed her eyes, I acknowledged her as a beauty when we met in the Gathering Of The Elites Competition even though I looked down on her because she possessed the status of a slave. Do you mean to say that you refused to acknowledge her as extremely beautiful because you cant stay friends with her otherwise?
You know... you might be right. Davis pointed at Shirley as he nodded, I knew she would grow to be an extreme beauty but certainly placed a spell on myself to not see her that way because, as you two know, I was a grown man in a childs body while she was a beauty even as a child. Her beauty was the whole reason I got her as a personal slave from my mother, so I forced the definition of a friend upon her to maintain my sanity-
Wait... that little girl... it couldnt be that she...
... most likely loves you...
Shirley responded with a nod, causing Davis to freeze before he sighed exasperatedly at himself.
These were things he didnt bother to think about because, at that time, he wasnt even a womanizer in his thoughts. He was wholeheartedly pursuing Evelynn at that time that he didnt have time to think about Ellia even though there may have been awkward conversations between them that openly screamed she loved him.
Thinking back, it wasnt that he couldnt see but subconsciously chose to ignore them.
Isabella and Shirley looked at him but didnt blame him. Instead, they were shocked at the fact that he didnt lose his innocence to someone like Ellia despite having her as a personal slave.
After all, it defeats the whole point of bringing her into the imperial family as a personal slave.
As imperial princesses, they knew that even their own half-brothers lost their virginity at the age of eight or perhaps a bit higher.
Daviss expression became solemn as he looked at Shirley, the one who had most contact with Ellia in the past few years.
Do you think that Ellia still loves me?
I cant say with confidence, but I can say that her voice was tinged with longing whenever she talked about you.
Davis narrowed her eyes as he raised his hand, Say no more.
He was already going to get her back regardless, but if this was the case, the urge to get her back only grew stronger.
He stood up with a hint of coldness gleaming in his eyes.
Ah...!
Shirley suddenly realized that she shouldve kept her mouth shut. She hurriedly stood up and clasped his hand.
No, you are not to clash with her at this moment.
Jeez, calm down...
Daviss voice became low as he grabbed her shoulder and made her sit back. He didnt want her becoming agitated for no reason.
As I said, Im not going back to fight with her. Davis lowered his head, aligning his gaze with her misty crimson-ruby eyes as he smiled at her.
That old hag Myria maybe be your friend, and I promise Ill try my best to hold back, but as I said before, it all depends on her actions and words.
Shirley bit her lips, She helped me a lot.
I know.
Saved me a lot...
I know.
Became my star that shined my path to you.
I...
Davis was truly flabbergasted this time while Shirley brought his hands to her face and shed tears.
Without her, I wouldnt be alive nor have been able to save you, so please dont clash and try to kill each other. I dont want to see that, but Ill accept whatever you decide to do.
Davis released a breath as his smile returned.
The women he loved were passionate and loyal to a fault that he couldnt really find that as a fault. Shirley wanting to save Myria from his wrath was what also made him feel endearing towards her, towards them, because they were all genuine in what they wanted to do.
Why are you smiling...? Shirley felt embarrassed.
However, a soft feeling instantly covered her lips, causing her to freeze before that feeling left. Only his smile remained in her gaze.
Because I cant get enough of your preciousness and kind heart that even saved a dying man from unleashing his utter wrath over millions of people...
Davis chuckled before he disappeared, the door clattering before it got closed, leaving behind a dumbfounded Shirley and a smirking Isabella who was ready to tease her.
As Davis came out, he saw that the scenario had already changed in the battle stage as four youths appeared to be staring at each other with intensity.
Oh, the second round already seems to have started...
Yes, but its just two Supreme Domain Law Dominion Stage Cultivators we dont have to pay any attention to...
Evelynn appeared beside him as she smiled, leaning over him to place a kiss on his cheek.
At the same time, she sent him a soul transmission, filling him with the details of the first round.
Instantly, his eyes narrowed as he looked towards the Ascending Path Sect before he turned to look at the person in question before he headed towards them. When he arrived at the destination, he stood in front of his dazzlingly beautiful younger sister.
Clara, youve become the first in the hearts of many, I heard?
Yes, brother.
Claras voice sounded pleased that he asked her about her accomplishments. By this time, the people stopped yapping about why she wasnt the first to battle in the second round as they all wanted to see her battle again.
Davis nodded with a satisfied smile.
I also hear that this Jambei is a powerful opponent, but you easily defeated him?
No, it was not easy. Clara shook her head before she sent him a soul transmission, I was using my full defensive power, although I didnt use my Transcendent Truth Eyes. On the other hand, he didnt come at me with the intent to kill. His wind is strong, but feelings towards me were blocking his might from having the upper hand over me, not to mention that he was worried about offending you.
Daviss heart shook.
Evelynn said that Jambei tried to court Clara but failed, but if Clara had this kind of opinion about him, saying he was strong, then...
Oh, what do you think about him? Davis raised his brows, Do you li-
Brother, I said before that I have no intentions to marry.
Claras eyes instantly narrowed as she understood what he had to say even before he could finish.
The path of a ruler is one bound to be alone. Even men with Transcendent Truth Eyes dont bother with their women and merely see them as tools to extend their legacy. Its written in the records of the Heaven Mandate Temple as well. Therefore, Im convinced that I truly dont care about romance that Ive read in books placed in our familys literature and cultural section of the imperial library.
Daviss heart fell on hearing her words.
Clara was convinced that she wouldnt have romantic feelings as the records said so? Isnt that even more of a curse than a blessing as she was born a human, a being with emotions to exude and love?
Nevertheless, he didnt look saddened but instead patted her shoulder.
Dont worry. Your brother will accompany you in whatever destiny you decide to walk. Your physique mightve decided one thing for you, but it is entirely up to you in how you want to live your life.
After all, I found that Im quite a fate-changer myself...
Davis turned to look at the battle stage below as he watched the battle with an amused light in his eyes. But on the other hand, Clara appeared taken aback before she lowered her head and mumbled incoherent words ever so lightly that even a person listening to her wouldnt be able to discover what she spoke, but, if roughly translated to, would sound like.
As I said before, I will always be with you, brother.
Except, this time, she wasnt able to voice it out like she had always been able to for some reason as it confused her.
Uh, did you say something?
Davis turned to look at her with confusion as he felt like he heard something that was incomprehensible, but Clara nodded her head as she decided to try again.
Me too. I will also accompany brother in whatever path of destiny you decide to walk on. My power will be of utmost use to you, brother.
Daviss eyes were wide with delight as he heard Claras gentle voice.
If a ruler can feel familial love, then being able to love romantically should also be possible! However, his excitement died down as quickly as it came because he realized that he would have to end up giving his innocent little sister away in marriage.
Well, I guess I could just pretend that this conversation didnt happen selectively...
He cast his gaze back to the battle stage, mindlessly watching their battle.
