Divine Emperor of Death

[Next day]

"Mom?"

"Davis!" Claire had her face full of love. She thought she wouldn't be able to see him for a while.

Davis got permission from his father to go meet his mother. Although things are fine now, it is still difficult for his father to accept immediately. As for when he will wholeheartedly, only time will tell.

"Mom! How are you?" Seeing that Claire was happy seeing him, he knew it was fine for him to be a kid again.

"Davis, you don't know how I missed you! Come here let me give you a kiss." Claire beckoned.

Davis came closer to Claire and he got a peck on his forehead.

After that, Davis talked to Claire about what happened with Dad.

"It's good that you and father had a talk, Davis, Mom will only be accompanying you for a few months. Let me give you an amulet."

"What's this?" The amulet was purple in colour.

"It's an Artifact that is capable of hiding your cultivation, have it worn on you always." Claire said with a serious expression.

Davis was extremely touched and a moment later he realised that he was duped by his mother yesterday. He decided to play a little joke on her.

"Hehe, Mom, am I getting a little monster?"

"Little monster? Eh?" Claire was momentarily confused.

"You! You dare to say that your little sibling is a monster?" Claire made a face full of fake anger while smiling.

Davis immediately started floating. "Whoa! What? Mom?!" He struggled in the air.

"Now that I remember that I haven't given you any punishments since you always seem to complete assignments way before time, hehe, this is a good opportunity for me to teach you a lesson." Claire said teasingly.

Davis made a cute face which immediately made Claire reluctant to give any punishments.

Claire made Davis come closer as she opened her arms to hug him. Davis immediately thought that it worked.

When Davis came closer, Claire made him bend around.

"Eh? Mom?"

*Slap*

"Argh!" Davis cried out in pain.

"You think you can get out of this just by playing innocent." Claire sneered.

*Slap* *Slap* *Slap*

Davis got his butt slapped so hard that it turned red.

"Arghhh" Those slaps were truly painful.

'Damn, I stepped on a land mine!' Davis thought, now he knew how much she truly loved her kids.

"Mom! I'm sorry!" Davis cried out.

"Good, you should have said this earlier." Claire smiled.

"Looks like I have to teach you manners as well, you naughty child." Claire laughed.

"I hear and obey, your majesty" Davis said while making a cute face.

"You only know how to joke." Claire tried to hit Davis again.

"You can't catch me!" Davis immediately ran away from her.

"Come back!"

…..

[3 months passed]

Every day was filled with joy for Claire and Davis. She taught him more about this world. They played together as well as studied together for 3 whole months.

Then various Tutors were assigned to Davis, who taught him. Claire was ordered to rest for the whole remaining 6 months. Of course, whenever he had time, he went to visit his mother almost every day.

Davis had to act like a child in front of everyone except his mother and father. His father and mother gave him permission to do that. In fact, they laughed behind him. They had to admit that his acting skills were very good.

…..

[6 months passed]

Logan was walking to and fro with a stiff face. Although nothing will happen to Claire, he was not sure anymore after a monster like Davis was born. He started thinking about all possible worst case scenarios.

"Dad!" Davis who was beside him shouted.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to Mom." Davis was quite composed compared to his father.

"Hmm." Logan nodded his head but he still couldn't get his nervousness out of his head.

"Nnnhhhh! Ahh! Ah!" A shout of agony with heavy breathings, followed by loud crying of a baby was heard.

"Claire!" Logan hurriedly went inside the Empress's room. Davis also followed him. No one dared to follow after them.

Inside the room, Claire was holding a new born baby while smiling resplendently. She looked like an angel, her smile lit the whole room with brightness. Logan was stunned while Davis had his attention on the newcomer.

Logan went beside her and shifted his attention to the little baby.

"It's a girl" Claire said. Claire knew that she will get a girl baby but she kept it a secret.

"Davis, you're a big brother now"

"My…my sister?" Davis was dumbfounded at the prospect of his sister's birth even though he knew this would happen eventually.

Logan took hold of the baby from Claire. He stared at her full of love.

"Claire, she looks just like you, an angel."

"Didn't we decide if the baby was a girl that I'd get to name her" Claire asked, she giggled.

"Yes, even though I wanted to, damn." Logan had a face full of dissatisfaction.

"Our little princess will be named, Clara Loret."

"Clara Loret, a good name." Logan was happy with this name as it sounds similar to Claire.

While Davis kept mumbling the name in his mind.

…...

[Another year passed]

Davis started learn about cultivation during this time. He was waiting for another year to pass so that he could start cultivating. Children start cultivating from the time when they were 5 years old.

"Davis." Claire called out to him.

"Hmm? Mother!" Davis was in the Castle Library reading books about cultivation.

"Davis, I don't have to say it myself but you yourself, a genius, should know that no one has got Soul Cultivation before they reach the Revolving Core Stage."

"Yes, you mentioned about it to me before mother."

"You are quite lucky because we are the only Royal Family in this continent who specialize in Soul Cultivation."

"Really?"

"Other sects, clans, various families also have Soul Cultivation techniques but they don't compare to us."

"That's really cool" Davis had a happy expression on his face.

"Then that means that I can advance in Soul Cultivation faster and earlier than anyone else my age in this world."

"Don't celebrate too soon, out of the three Cultivation Systems, Soul Cultivation is the hardest. You have achieved Nascent Soul Stage before reaching Revolving Core Stage. The Soul Cultivation Techniques in our continent can only be cultivated after reaching Revolving Core Stage, because at that stage, you can sense the changes in Heaven and Earth which is required for Soul Cultivation."

"If you can't cultivate your soul after a year with our Soul Cultivation Techniques, then you will have to reach Revolving Core Stage before training in it again which makes your speed the same as any Royal Family children." Claire decided to put down his ego first.

'What the fuck?' Davis looked speechless. There goes his genius history down the drain.
