Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Davis then sensed six hidden experts watching over Clara and Evelynn from the shadows.

3 of them were in the east and the other 3 of them were in the west. All of them were around the peak of the Third Stage, more or less.

He could sense that all of them were... female by sensing their figures, which were covered by their tight black robes while their curves were outlined.

’Must’ve been the work of mother...’ Davis had this thought and felt that it should be the case.

Before he left, he was absolutely sure that there weren’t any female experts in the Royal Castle.

’Looks like Mom took my advice and implemented it differently...’ He inwardly chuckled.

He had advised his mother to establish an intelligence department. He knew the uses of an intelligence department since he was a person from the earth.

To the modern people of the earth, information was power and wealth. If used properly, someone with evil intentions could even make countries war against each other through information manipulation.

’But seeing Evelynn and Clara be together, I guess that I didn’t have to worry so much...’

He instantly felt at ease, and even that sense of unease he felt before turned out to be just his imagination.

However, he felt that Evelynn would be lonely in the Royal Castle, and Clara, being the truth finder she is, he felt that she would be left alone too.

That’s why, he was glad that both of them were together, even going out to a restaurant to enjoy some delicacies.

Once he thought of it like this, he could naturally reason that his parents and the others were also safe in some room or someplace.

His senses then focused on Evelynn.

Looking at her mature figure, he suddenly had the urge to embrace her but held back since the location was public.

He saw her figure and looked at her expression which seemed deep in thought but as well as worried.

Chuckling lightly, he thought of giving Evelynn a scare but decided not to since he didn’t want to embarrass her in public.

’Ahh, I’ll wait for them at the entrance...’

Thinking like that, he arrived at the entrance of the Royal Castle and knocked out all of the guards, including the hidden experts watching over the entrance.

He just hurled them some of his soul force into their soul sea and changed it into pressuring their soul, making them faint.

At his level, doing this was easier than lifting his hand to hide his yawn. He had made sure to hold back, otherwise, without restraints, he could’ve accidentally killed them.

As for the formation placed there, it was the same as being nonexistent to him.

Meanwhile, he took back his soul sense and waited patiently as those two slowly approached.

Evelynn walked beside Clara, reveling in her own thoughts.

What Clara said was enough to make her unsettled to a great degree. She had her own thoughts about this and felt quite conflicted.

While the two crossed the streets, and slowly made their way, Evelynn couldn’t help but ask again, albeit in a low voice, "What you said just a while ago, is it true?"

Clara casually voiced out her opinion, "Of course, after I completed the trial, I was able to see her undergoing the trial through the Ice Phoenix Mistress’s help."

Evelynn suddenly understood how Clara was able to accidentally hear it from the mouth of Shirley, but then she was confused, "You can see her but what made her say that she will only marry him in this lifetime?"

"That was when she shouted out her thoughts and managed to clear the trial. Likely, she was going through some kind of heart demon trial..."

"I can guess this because I also encountered a heart demon trial! And I easily cleared it without even breaking a sweat!" Clara added with a proud glint in her eyes.

Evelynn absentmindedly nodded her head as she pondered over her words. She knew that Clara wouldn’t lie because what the other party hated the most were lies.

’She still hasn’t given up huh... Not only hasn’t she given up, but her desire has also grown after clearing the trial. This spells trouble...’

Evelynn couldn’t understand why Shirley held such intense feelings to her future husband.

Even Shirley had confessed to her that she only had been kissed, not violated, so she couldn’t understand why she would hold feelings for the other party,

’Well, her obsession was clear even before she cleared the trial. Giving out spatial rings, taking care of Clara, even clearing the King Grade Trial while declaring that she will only marry him in this lifetime... Sigh’

Were her feelings towards Davis even intense than Shirley’s? She couldn’t help but doubt her own love now.

’On the other hand, I did nothing other than shamelessly take resources as if it belonged to me...’

Evelynn felt a strong sense of inferiority. She felt that even if Davis chose Shirley over her, she really didn’t have anything concise to retort and question him.

Not one achievement to her name!

As for reaching the Body Transformation Stage? She learned that even some of the experts in the Royal Guards had broken through to that stage.

She suddenly felt a hint of danger and uneasiness and didn’t like this feeling one bit.

As Evelynn was absorbed in her own thoughts, she suddenly came out of her reverie as she felt someone’s hand on her.

In front of her, Clara put a hand on her to stop.

She looked around and noticed they arrived at the Royal Castle entrance but instantly, she felt goosebumps all over the body.

Bodies littered all over the entrance.

"What happened?" Evelynn dumbfoundedly asked.

"Who are you!?" Clara voiced out with hostility.

Evelynn’s gaze then caught hold of a black-robed figure sitting on the flight of stairs as if this scenario had nothing to do with it.
