Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Chapter 124: Arrival - Ashton Empire's Royal Capital

No reply was heard, but it continued to talk, "The next time I meet that scumbag, his life will end right there."

The green meadows swayed as the wind gently brushed passed the while silhouette, making it obscure.

"If it weren't for you who pleaded for him, I would've killed him regardless if he's being protected or not."

"You!" The white silhouette's voice trembled, it then flicked its sleeves as it destroyed the surrounding meadows.

"What do you find so special in him!?" Its voice sounded irritated.

"That trash has forgotten about you the moment he is with another woman." It sneered as it argued back.

Harrumphing in a cold voice, it questioned, "What do you know about men? I have lived for over 50,000 years and I didn't find not one of them reliable and trustable!"

As if it heard something delusional, it sighed, "You're hopeless! But I do agree that thanks to him, what is supposed to be difficult than ascending the heavens had been made much easier."

It looked around the area and uttered, "I don't want to stay here anymore. The only way to increase our power is to gain that immortal inheritance which he mentioned before to you."

Nodding its head in agreement, it answered in a cold voice, "Alright, I promise that I won't touch him… But that depends on him. If I see him again then he will be dead without doubt."

…

Davis and Evelynn's journey continued for about three weeks.

During this time, they dropped by many towns, and kingdoms.

They were welcomed and treated extravagantly by all the people.

They faced no hindrance as they were dressed luxuriously, symbolising that they were from the Royal Family. Their journey was smooth without any trouble.

Their relationship grew as they talked to each other, shared many of their past experiences, discussed about the world.

Not only that, but there were many awkward and slightly amorous moments in their journey which made Evelynn's heart flutter as she experienced being a maiden in love.

But to Davis, it was outright hell.

He wanted to kiss her, but couldn't. He wanted to make her feel good, but couldn't.

Halfway through the journey, he gave up as he cursed himself and the heavens for still having an adult-like mentality with the body of a child even though he looked like a teenager. It was like a limiter that disallowed him from taking the next step in their relationship.

"I want to die…" Just when Davis muttered listlessly, Evelynn suddenly shouted, "Look!"

David got up and looked at the horizon ahead of him. His long hair swayed gracefully as the wind brushed past him.

The Golden-Horned Wyvern roared as it suddenly sped up.

"Looks like we have arrived…" Davis said with a smile on his face. He looked at the distant red walls which had numerous blazing flame emblems on it.

On top of the walls were several silhouettes, they stood as if they were waiting for something or someone.

"Who are they?" Evelynn tried to focus her gaze but her vision couldn't get that far.

"Yo, the Ashton Emperor is personally here to welcome us. Looks like he hasn't still given up yet." Davis cleared his thoughts and said in a comical tone.

Evelynn giggled at his comment and nodded her head.

During the time she spent with him, he had talked to her about how he felt on having two engagements. He even explained how his and Shirley's engagement got cancelled from his point of view.

She took all those with a pinch of salt, half believing, half disbelieving.

Before she left, her father had warned her about many things, and one thing he mentioned was that men lie or exaggerate about some matters concerning their women.

Evelynn decided to follow her father's advice and be cautious whenever their topic dwelled to another woman.

She held his hands and looked straight with disordered breaths as she felt somewhat uneasy.

Davis kept looking towards the walls. He was able to identify the appearances of the silhouettes that were in the distance.

'Hmm? Shirley is standing there too? Haha, she must have been forced by her father to come over to personally welcome me as well. Holy moly! It feels good to be a person who is respected and revered by others!' Davis thought as he was finally able to realise one of his long-forgotten fantasies from his previous life.

The Golden-Horned Wyvern neared the walls as it roared again. It did a backflip as it plummeted down beside the walls.

Davis cursed it in his mind, but he picked up Evelynn and jumped off from the saddle, making a perfect entrance by landing on the walls while holding her in a princess carry.

He then let her down as he searched for that golden-horny wyvern.

From the direction of the outskirts, it floated up slowly as it flapped its wings and landed on a guard tower.

The guards were horrified but didn't attack it as they knew who this mount belonged to.

Davis swore that one day he would make it suffer, but thinking about how it carried them for almost a month, he couldn't help but smile at its playfulness.

He turned his head and clasped his hands, "Davis Loret from the Loret Empire, greets Emperor Ashton!"

Evelynn who got nervous from the fall hurriedly clasped her hands and bowed slightly, "Evelynn Cauldon, Fiancee of the Crown Prince of Loret Empire, greets Emperor Ashton!"

Davis widened his eyes slightly and let out a grin as he felt fortunate from her introduction.

"Hahaha! Good! Good! What an intimate couple! That landing was almost perfect except the part for her clumsiness!" Emperor Ashton laughed loudly.

Davis smiled wryly as he knew that this man was always straightforward with his comments.

But in this situation, it was like he made a jab at Evelynn's self-confidence.

And as he expected, Evelynn blushed slightly from shame, but surprisingly stood her ground as she held his hands while putting up an elegant facade.
