Divine Emperor of Death

"Just like when your Uncle Viktor brought back Meng Ying, the rumors about you bringing a mortal woman to the Royal Castle spread like wildfire in the past hour, so you tell me what exactly is going on in this place..." Claire smiled as she shook her head.

Davis felt a headache. He was not bothered about explaining this to his parents but how should he explain this to Evelynn? He imagined that there was already a slight amount of distrust starting to form in her when he revealed his secrets to her but now, on top of that, there was another problem that he would have to explain.

He suddenly felt like tearing apart Mo Mingzhi to pieces but he hastily calmed himself down.

He had expected something like this would happen but didn't think it would be so soon, not even an hour had passed but Mo Mingzhi had caused trouble for him.

He sent Logan and Claire a Soul Transmission, "That woman was just a kid when I took care of her in my previous life but now, I don't know how, but it seems like she became obsessed with me during the course of the passing years..."

Logan and Claire suddenly understood but the latter's eyes flashed, "So, she is someone you took care of in your previous life... No wonder you had a soft spot for her, bringing her to this place for her to cultivate, am I correct?"

Davis paused but then smiled, "Mother's assessment is quite accurate. Clara can prove my words to be true as she was with me the whole time."

"Oh, you finally revealed your past life to her?"

"Yes." Davis deeply smiled, his gaze slightly profound. The lie he had told them would turn out to be true if his conjectures were right.

Clara then verified his words to be true in a short while. Of course, they used Soul Transmission for conversation, so the Throne Hall was relatively silent.

When Claire understood everything, she spoke, "Then she is spreading false information which affects my son in an immoral manner." 

With a slight pause, she added, "This calls for a trial..."

Davis shook his head, "Don't, just leave her be... She'll eventually learn cultivation and leave this place when she recognizes that I pay no attention to her."

"Are you sure? Even though she is a mortal, she dared to say that she is your woman even though it is not the truth. Regardless of what motives she may have, it still remains that she chose to sacrifice her virtue to you on the surface, so she must have some determination to see through her schemes until the end."

Davis replied, "Maybe... But still, leave her alone for a few years and we'll see what happens then..."

Claire nodded her head in agreement, "If that's what you want then mother will no longer pay heed to this matter."

But rather than truly agreeing with his opinion, she felt that as if her son was rather protective of that woman.

'Maybe even a little overprotective...' Her eyes flashed when she recalled why Davis had killed that mortal called General Wang Ke from Clara just a while ago.

"In any case, you better explain this to Evelynn. You wouldn't want a repeat of our mistake, right?" Claire giggled as she placed her finger over her upper lips

Davis wryly shook his head and left, his steps couldn't be heard as he floated away.

======

Half an hour had passed from the time Davis exposed his secret to Evelynn. He walked back and returned to his room, but didn't find his wife in the room.

He instantly panicked and sent out his Soul Sense, making him relaxed.

'So, she's there...' 

Davis made his way above to the top floor and entered the artificial park that he had created with the help of numerous artisans.

On the same bench he sat frequently, he saw Evelynn sitting there, watching the blue skies and clouds with a calm and serene gaze.

He wasn't sure if he should approach her now but felt that he should act natural lest that it accidentally brings even more suspicious of his real identity.

Just when he wanted to infer her situation by seeing the Karma Threads connecting them, she turned to look at him.

With a sigh, he abandoned his thought and walked towards the bench as he sat by her side.

Evelynn moved her hand towards him, intertwining her fingers with his fingers.

Davis felt surprised but his eyes were calm.

Evelynn bit her lips, her expression radiating a complex feeling that would melt one's heart, wanting to protect this frail soul.

"I'm sorry, I just needed to time to think about your words..." 

Davis nodded in a serene manner, "What did you think?"

A short while passed but then, Evelynn wryly chuckled, "I thought you weren't my Davis anymore..."

Davis held her hands tight as he gazed at her.

"I thought you were someone else..." Evelynn bit her lips as moved her eyes, "But I realized that I was thinking too much into this matter."

"What made you think that I am still Davis then..." He asked, a little apprehensive and doubtful.

She held his hand, and this was a good sign which meant that she had recognized him as her husband, Davis.

But how did she arrive at that conclusion? Did she realize something or did she stop thinking altogether?

"Is there even any need to?" Evelynn asked him back with a smile.

Davis didn't reply but was inwardly depressed since it seemed like she stopped thinking about his true identity and gave up.

"Why do I have to think when I can just ask our mother of your story. As for the veracity of your words, I can simply ask Clara to verify if it is the truth!"

Davis widened his eyes. So she didn't stop thinking but faced it with a smarter approach to this matter.

Davis inwardly laughed at himself. So he was the one who you emotional over this matter, even forgetting that it could be solved this way.

'Truly, I'm an idiot... I should've just called them over and discussed with all three of them but that would leak all secrets of mine which is more dangerous.'

Maybe his mind subconsciously excluded them from his calculations?

He lifted up his hand that was connected with hers and looked at her confusingly.

Then if she was waiting for them to confirm the facts for her, why did she grab his hands?

"I personally wanted to believe in you, no matter the cost."

Davis's heart shook, "What if I did not turn out to be Davis..."

With a smile on her face, she replied, "I said I wanted to believe in you no matter the cost. If I turned out to be wrong, then I will simply kill myself..."

Davis leaned in and embraced her in a hug, "Evelynn..." 

Evelynn felt her eyes cloud from the tears that were threatening to spill out from her eyes. Illusory beams of light permeated her vision, reflecting the skies.

"Do you know how miserable I felt when I couldn't say that you were undoubtedly my Davis." 

Tears fell from her eyes and stained his shoulders.

"My heart felt so heavy..."

Davis caressed the back of her head, however, she sniffed as she suddenly moved back.

*Pahh!~*

With a wronged expression on her face, Evelynn gave Davis a light slap before hugging him again.

Davis was flabbergasted as he opened his mouth wide in astonishment.

"Never make me doubt you again!" 

Tightly holding his neck, she felt like she would strangle him to death, never letting him go again.

She tightly held his neck as if she would strangle him to death.

"Hmm..." After a silent pause, Davis just hummed with her in agreement.
