Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 80: Ellia's Resolve

When Ellia had realised that she had started treating Davis like a friend, she started feeling happy and almost at the same time, she felt fear as well.

She felt happy that she was able to live a good life but felt fear because she was afraid of being abandoned. Adding to the thought that she had about Davis, this was almost like heaven for her. But one wrong move and she felt that she could end up in hell.

To her, even though she also treated Davis like a friend, it just didn't feel natural. With the binding of a slave servant on her fate, she always had a subconscious limiter in her memory that kept her reminding about her status and position, which made it truly difficult to make friends with Davis.

"You are so kind…" Ellia muttered as tears involuntarily dripped down her face.

"Eh!?", Davis's face changed to an awkward expression as he thought that his method of teaching went too far.

Ellia then started wiping away her tears with her wrists while her face went red again from the embarrassment. She felt that she had made herself a laughing stock.

"Haha, hey… st… haha… hahaha", Suddenly, Ellia was shocked as she felt ticklish on her waist which made her suddenly laugh like an idiot.

Ten fingers were simultaneously stimulating her waist, giving her a ticklish and pleasurable feeling which made her want to die as she laughed like an idiot.

"Haahhahha… sto… Dav… haha… enoug…hnngg!" Ellia lost her footing as she fell back when…

Davis stopped and held her by the waist by twisting his arms around her back for support.

Ellia's breath was heavy as she gasped for air. She had a smile on her face with a heavy blush on her cheeks.

"That's right, you only need to have a smile on your face. Please don't make such a sad face in front of me…", It was Davis who was embarrassed this time as he turned his face sideways as he continued, "Actually, don't be sad even when not in front of me, I will always protect you no matter what kind of a person you are…"

Tears erupted again from her eyes like a flood which she had no way to stop, but this time, she was smiling as she was crying. She was shedding tears of contentedness.

Davis smiled wryly. He only wanted to comfort her and make her stop crying.

During the time he spent with her in the preliminaries, he felt that she had changed a little bit as her character and her actions were a little off. He only felt that a little bit and couldn't put his hand on it, which in turn, led him to believe that she was facing some kind of internal conflict which he didn't know.

All he felt like was like sh*t, not knowing what was going on in her mind. Without knowing it, he could only offer some comfortable words with his non-existent social capabilities.

Davis sighed, "It was all my fault, it was too soon for you to experience all these things…mm"

A delicate finger was placed on his lip which made him unable to open his mouth.

"As you said before, this is the only way for me to increase my standing and status." She paused for a moment as she thought before continuing, 'And if I could be with you', "I wouldn't stop halfway! Besides, what do you mean that it was too soon for me to experience these things? Aren't you the same age as me? Prince Davis!"

Her tone was more of a mocking one rather than a berating one.

Davis had a wry smile on his face and didn't answer this question of hers. There was no way he would tell about his origin or their relationship wouldn't be the same anymore.

"And when exactly are you going to release me?" There was a faint shy tone to her voice, which made her sound like a cute fairy.

Laughing slightly, he made her regain her balance as he removed his arms from her waist.

An awkward moment of silence emanated in the surroundings.

Suddenly, Ellia spoke, "Let's go hunt, and this time I won't be afraid or fall back."

Her face was calm, but her eyes were clear as if she had resolved her inner conflict.

Davis looked at her and smiled, "Good!" But suddenly thought of something and continued, "You will have to hunt by yourself, don't forget that!"

Ellia looked taken back but quickly formed a smile on her face as she remembered the rule, 'That's right, I can't keep depending on him…'

"Guide me then…", Ellia uttered as she started walking in a direction.

"Sure, no problem," Davis spoke as they walked together.

The direction they were heading to was the inner zone of the volcanic mountain.

…

Four days had passed since the start of the second round.

In the Gote Island, Main Arena.

People were bustling with activity as conversations of the second round of the competition were being discussed on.

People remained here as they talked about the various happenings as they never seem to run out of topic. contemporary romance

The main reason that they were able to be free of boredom was that because of the profound formation which projected the situation and the events of the Firzen Island through the bugs which were monitoring the whole island.

"Oh, look at that blue robed youngster take down a Crimson Ape with pure strength! He must've purely trained in the Body Cultivation System and reached at least Low-Level Iron Stage!"

"I know this person! Isn't he the Young Master of the Nolan family from the Loret Empire?"

"Young Master of the Nolan family? I think he was called Kevin Nolan…"

They then checked the scoreboard, which had his name in the 13th position, with a score of 14500 points.

Not only the Cauldon family but all famous and noble families from all the empires had also participated in the Grand Sea Continent Meet. After all, It is an opportunity for them to increase their strength and fame.

Various conversations of the famous youths like him could be heard throughout the arena.

Even the emperors and the royal family geniuses watched them with some interest in their eyes.

But no matter what, all their eyes were concentrated on a certain someone.

Emperor Tritor had a smiling expression on his face the whole time. He then suddenly commented with a mocking tone, "It's been four days since the start of the second round but your son seems to only have killed a Peak-Level Earth Stage Beast which gained him 500 points. Even his maid had killed a lot of beasts. He mainly seems to be following and instructing her. At this rate, wouldn't he be a failure to the position of a royal heir?"
