Divine Emperor of Death

Meanwhile, at the time when Davis and the others headed towards the Throne Hall, a girl silently sneaked away from the Banquet Hall and proceeded to go in a certain direction.

She took careful steps and had her face down, not daring to make any big strides afraid that she would be caught by the castle maids.

As she arrived at a certain point in one of the hallways, she spotted a young boy who was near her age and her expression automatically blossomed into a smile.

Just before the young boy could turn into the corridor, she dashed and slightly hit him on his shoulders.

The young boy who seemed a little absentminded was stunned as he turned to look back. His expression instantly turned jubilant as he saw the young girl but he instantly froze as a person blocked his view.

He realized that the person standing in front of him blocking the young girl from his vision was his father.

"Is something the matter, Princess Diana?" The middle-aged man spoke with an amiable expression on his face, "My name is Ray Nolan. It is my pleasure to make your acquaintance."

Diana's expression froze as she recognized the man in front of her. She gave an awkward laugh and scrammed away as a feeling of wanting to escape enveloped her soul.

Wayn extended his hand wanting to stop her, talk to her but his hand was suddenly caught in someone's grasp.

He turned to look at his father and an aggrieved expression emerged on his face.

Ray Nolan gently sighed, "Wayn, be mindful of our status. The Loret Family is bound to rise so don't do anything that it would immensely offend them."

Wayn clenched his fists. Ever since he found that the mischievous girl he came to like was a princess, he couldn't get her off his mind.

It was the case especially when he saw her look so pretty today, glancing at him from time to time as she blushed.

However, he knew... He knew that she was so far out of his reach that it became so painfully true when he learned the difference between his and the Loret Family's overall prowess.

'But... but she came to see me...' A feeling of affection welled up within his heart and her cheerful yet mischievous smile flashed in his heart.

He took a deep breath but then suddenly, calmed himself down, "Yes, father, I will not harm the interests of our family by my own hands."

Ray nodded, "Good!"

Wayn's eyes flashed as an urge to get stronger welled up within him inwardly, completely swallowing his previous thoughts of wanting to refute his father to the back of his mind.

In the Royal Castle, Throne Hall.

A few minutes later after Isabella explained the specifics of the Immortal Inheritance.

"Haha! Once again, Princess Isabella! I thank you on behalf of the Loret Empire for showing us your favor!" Logan jovially laughed as he spoke.

On the way, they had heard from Isabella that the Ruth Family had decreed long ago that only the members of the Ruth Empire Royalty were allowed to participate in the trials of the Immortal Grade Inheritance.

The Ruth Family of that time had no idea that the Inheritance was an Immortal Inheritance until to the present, where Isabella managed to complete the King Grade Trial.

So, Logan and the others believed that this was clearly an exception and this exception was granted only because of the vague matter between Davis and Isabella that they didn't know about.

As for that apology, who would believe that? Certainly not them but Clara did as she could see through lies.

"You're too polite..." Isabella graciously replied and then stated, "The requirements for participating in the trial is that one should be below 32 years old of bone age, and their Body Tempering Cultivation should not have reached the Gold Stage!"

Logan froze! In reality, most of the ones present froze when they heard the age limit.

It was like they had been given the treat to share, but it turned out that the treat could no longer be used by them.

But, the eyes of the three young ones were quite the opposite.

They had their eyes glowing with fervor; Davis, Clara and Evelynn, all three looked at each other and smiling shook their heads.

"I've already got an Inheritance, big brother, you should take this opportunity..." Clara said, her cold face lit up with a smile.

Davis blinked and nodded his head, feeling the warmth, "Thank you, Clara..."

This inheritance was likely about Body Tempering rather than Essence Gathering, so he knew that it would still be advantageous to Clara if she were to participate in it.

Clara's smile turned resplendent even more, her smile even stunning Isabella into a trance.

Davis gazed at his parents, "Father and Mother, originally I thought one of you should go, but now since there is an age limit as well as a cultivation limit, the candidates are no longer you two..."

Logan and Claire nodded their heads, a little disappointed.

Logan sighed exasperatedly, "Ah... It is fated that you should be the one who will soar into the heavens, my son!"

Claire smiled, albeit a little sad that the opportunity of getting revenge was taken away from her like this by a mere age limit.

She said, "Davis, didn't you say that your master only teaches you Soul Forging Cultivation? You should use this opportunity well!"

Isabella who was beside them, batted her eyelids when she heard that, 'No wonder his Soul Forging Cultivation is unfathomable in spite of his age...'

Davis shook his head and smiled as he pointed in a direction, "Father, Mother, I'm not going to be the one who is participating, instead it is her!"

"Me?!" Evelynn instantly shouted in disbelief. She hurriedly shook both her head and hands in rejection.

Davis smiled, "Yes, it's you... Evelynn, didn't you want to become stronger by using your own strength?" 

Isabella's eyes flashed in inexplicable admiration, 'He's giving up this opportunity to his fiancee?'

Evelynn froze! 

Yes, didn't she want to become stronger by using her own strength?

She did! 

All these years, she had been feeling quite remorseful for using the resources as if it belonged to her when in truth it belonged to Davis.

She could easily twist the facts, thinking that these resources belonged to her husband, hence belonged to her but they weren't even married yet.

Evelynn felt bad, even worse for using a little more than normal the number of resources compared to an average cultivator.

She clenched her fists and a faint determination glowed in her eyes, "Yes!"

"Good! Then you will participate, right?"

"Yes!" 

"Haha! Good!" Davis clapped his hands once and looked at the others and asked straightforwardly, "There you have it, does anyone object?" 

Surprisingly, he only received a smile from the others causing him to chuckle lightly.

Davis nodded his head in gratification. All of them understood his intentions and didn't deny giving this opportunity to his soon to be wife.

"Alright, it's decided then! Princess Isabella, Evelynn will be participating in your Earth Dragon Immortal Inheritance!"

Isabella nodded as she smiled wholeheartedly, her vague admiration turned into more of a genuine one.
