Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Chapter 148: Royal Family's Situation

After quite some time, an enraged shout rang out from an elder as he gritted his teeth, "You can't do this!"

Davis felt his mind snapping again, 'They just won't give up without seeing more deaths!' He let her go and conjured up a translucent spear again.

As if they were prepared for it, the elders united and stood together, creating a defence formation.

"Stop!" Evan Cauldon stood in front of Davis and uttered, "Prince Davis! Please take my daughter away, she no longer has any business in our Cauldon Family." A faint smile appeared in his eyes.

He was really happy that his daughter has finally managed to find her love. He couldn't wish her for any more happiness, so he thought of sending her away from these people who were no better than strangers.

"Even if you don't say anything, I'm just going to do that!" Uttering in a dissatisfied tone, Davis continued, "And also, I'll be burning down the agreement after I return to the Royal Castle!"

Before the elders could even utter any annoying words, Davis completely used the Soul Suppression Art to make the elders faint quickly as they plopped to the ground like puppets that had their strings cut. When they woke up, they probably would have a severe headache that stemmed from their souls.

"Let's go to the Royal Castle!" Davis held her hands and smiled at her. He looked at her gently and had the urge to protect her eternally.

Evelynn wiped away her tears and nodded embarrassedly. At this moment, she felt like she could follow him to the end of her life, and this kind of feeling made her heart experience incomparable bliss.

Looking at the direction of the Royal Castle, Davis thought, 'If the entire Loret Family were to be alive, would I also be an asset for them to enrich their lives as well?' A chilling light flashed through his eyes, 'First Prince was it? I'll see what schemes you have in store for us.'

…

The Royal Castle.

Things were the same as any day in this huge Royal Castle. The guards were patrolling orderly, the servants did their work, the officials roamed around doing their jobs, it was as peaceful as any other day.

But inside the Inner Castle, the atmosphere was tense for around a week.

It all started when a 17-year-old boy, entered the Royal Castle a week ago, declaring that he was of the Royal Family.

This kind of matter was quite common, as the royal family members would sometime roam around and leave behind their illegitimate heirs by having an affair that if found out, would turn scandalous.

The Emperor had a joyous look on his face when he heard about the news. He could care less about the scandal when the Loret Family was already in decline in terms of blood. He quickly took the boy and conducted the bloodline test, and to his joy, the results were positive.

It was officially proved that the 17-year-old boy was a Loret Family member, but his expression turned ugly when the 17-year-old boy called him royal father.

To his wrath, when he tried to discipline that 17-year-old boy, the boy uttered a woman's name, causing him to freeze.

At that time, a whole lot of officials and even the Empress was present, everyone noticed the change in his expression and started forming their own assumptions.

The Empress naturally angered, left the Throne Hall without uttering a single word.

The Emperor naturally tried to stop the Empress, but it was of no use. The Emperor then sat down on his seat, listening to the boy who called him royal father.

On that same day, the atmosphere continued to remain tense after a new woman was brought to the Royal Castle.

This was the ongoing current state of the Royal Family.

…

The Golden-Horned Wyvern landed on a platform above the Royal Castle. Davis and Evelynn got down from it and entered inside the Royal Castle.

For some reason, Evelynn clad herself in black robes, covering her figure.

It looked like she didn't want anyone here to see her crippled state. Davis advised otherwise, but she remained adamant, so he could only sigh.

He still had to take care of the new problem that has cropped up in the Royal Castle.

Entering inside from the top platform, the first destination they headed to was the Empress's quarters, to his mother's room.

On the way, walking by the corridor, Davis and Evelynn froze, looking at the figure who vaguely resembled Davis, but was a little taller and had a short black hair.

The figure was leaning beside a door, on the walls of the corridor, glancing in their direction with an astonished face.

Both of them continued to walk past him while looking at each other.

Davis sighed as he was now sure that he had an elder brother from another mother. He mentally face-palmed himself, bracing for a headache that is soon going to descend upon him.

"Was he waiting for us?" Evelynn whispered as she asked Davis.

"Doesn't seem like it. It is likely he is standing on guard for the person behind that door." He replied as he shook his head.

While they left towards the Empress's room, the figure who resembled Davis muttered, "Such an incredible pressure, he's definitely my genius little brother…"

The next moment, a worried expression filled over his face when he turned to look at the door beside him, "I'm sorry for not listening to your words mother, but don't worry! Your rightful place is here!"

Davis hastened his steps, he felt that his mother might've been heartbroken.

Finally arriving before the destination, Davis knocked on the door and shouted, "Mother, open the door, it's me, Davis!"

The door quickly opened only to see little Diana peeking out from the door joyfully, but when she saw a big elder sister clad in black robes beside him, she hurriedly ran inside while shouting, "Mother! Brother is with a scary woman!!"

Hearing her shout, Evelynn turned embarrassed as she knew it was because she draped herself with a black robe. Davis chuckled and looked inside, feeling relaxed.

Diana returned to play with Edward while Claire sat on top of the bed with an indifferent expression.

Davis approached his mother, and just when he thought of asking a question, he turned his head and asked, "Diana, what was mother doing right before I arrived?"

"Mother was playing with us!" Came an instant reply from Diana as she kept playing with her little brother.

Claire froze, but before she could turn embarrassed, she caught sight of her saviour, "Hmm? Evelynn! Come inside! There's no need to stand on ceremony…"

Davis turned speechless, was she not angry or just stopped caring about it? He couldn't guess the reason.
