nChapter 56

"Do you now get it? Maisy

" Evelynn asked her calmly .

n

"Yes .

" Maisy was embarrassed for her misunderstanding .

n

"Prince Davis, do you have another black robe?

" Evelynn asked .

n

"I do have, but for what?

"

nShe didn't answer him but spoke to Maisy .

n

"Maisy wear that black robe and wander around our Cauldon Emporium for some time . Here, wear this too .

"

nEvelynn removed her amulet and gave it to Maisy . It had the power to conceal one's aura . Davis also took an unused black robe and gave it to her now that he had understood her plan . It was to act as him for a while .

nMaisy wore it and went out from the room . She now knew that they were meeting secretly .

n

"Now Prince Davis, as you requested, we are all alone .

" Evelynn smiled .

n

"Alone, seems like it…

" Davis probed around with his Soul Sense so he knew .

n

"But there was no need to send her out too? No?

"

n

"Maisy is talkative, so she will definitely interfere with our conversation which might possibly anger you, Prince .

"

n

"Then you have my thanks .

" Davis said .

n

"It's my pleasure, please sit down .

"

nShe then sat at a table . Davis also took his seat .

n

"Now that we are alone, are you not afraid that I will do anything to you?

" Davis grinned as he asked . Since she seemed like a playful type, he teased her .

n

"Hmm? What can the Prince possibly do to harm me? Maybe you have your guards outside the Cauldon Emporium? No?

"

n'Oh, this woman thinks that I got here with an entourage . Well, I'm not going to correct her either . '

n

"Haha, Miss Evelynn sure is perceptive .

"

n

"This is only normal .

" Evelynn said as she poured a cup of tea for Davis .

nDavis took the tea and probed it . Seeing that there were nothing harmful in it, he drank . It doesn't hurt him to be cautious after all .

n

"Why?

" She asked suddenly .

n*spat* Davis spat out the tea at the side . He thought that she found out his probing of the tea .

n

"Why did you say that?

" Evelynn had a complex face when she asked that . She didn't mind that action of his .

nNow Davis knew what she had asked .

n*cough*

n

"Miss Evelynn, I started liking you, so I am a little serious about this marriage .

" Davis replied truthfully .

n

"Leaving aside why, I'll ask when . . . When did you start liking me?

" Evelynn had her eyes narrowed, her gaze sharp .

n

"From the moment I met you .

" He said calmly .

n

"You lie .

" She sighed .

n

"No, that is the truth!

" He strongly replied .

n'Why does this feel like an interrogation?' Davis had a vague doubt .

n

"Then why did you ask me to consider our marriage when we first met?

" She made a sound of dissatisfaction as she asked .

nDavis then said seriously .

n

"At that time, I felt that you were clearly against this marriage, so I spoke up .

"

n

"And now?

" She questioned again .

n

"Now I realised that I like you very much . So will you accept this proposal?

" Davis asked with a glint in his eyes .

n

"Isn't that selfish?

" Evelynn laughed sarcastically .

n

"Yes, it is . I want you for myself

" Davis replied shamelessly .

n

"You! What if I refuse?

" She narrowed her eyes again .

n

"Then I can only work hard to change your mind . I am sure that I will somehow make you like me

" He grinned as he said .

nAfter a few moments of tension and silence . Evelynn unknowingly, visibly relaxed .

n'This woman! She's acting tough! Is she treating me as an adult? No, she is treating me as her future! Makes sense that she is this serious about it . ' Davis was watching her every expression to find out what she was thinking and he could only rely on his perception to do so .

n

n

n'If only Clara were here, it would be way easy to hold an advantage in a conversation . ' Davis sighed .

n'But in this case, I can see her ruining this marriage hundred percent…' He laughed to himself .

n

"*cough* So, what is your answer? Miss Evelynn .

"

n

"There's no way I can give it so soon, not without knowing much about you .

" Evelynn glared at his shamelessness, but somehow she liked it .

n'Maybe because he is cute?' She thought .

n

"You have a point, I wish to know more about you as well . If we have the opportunity, then we'll tour around the Royal Capital one day .

"

n

"Hmm .

" She never expected him to invite her to take her out, so it was kind of a surprise for her as she fell silent .

nThe room again got silent and awkward .

n

"Haha, I wonder what cultivation level has Miss Evelynn reached?

" Davis randomly asked a question .

n

"Nothing that can catch your eye .

" Suddenly, her voice changed to a icy tone .

n'Oye, it's not like I asked your weight!' Davis's eye twitched .

nSeeing that he chanced upon a bad topic, he tried to say something . He quickly then glanced around to search for a topic and said to her .

n

"I guess I disturbed Miss Evelynn's Cultivation session, it's no wonder that you are angry with me for asking about your cultivation .

" Davis said with an all knowing tone . But he then later panicked as he realised that this was also a topic concerning to her cultivation .

n'What perception!' Evelynn thought, her eyes wide .

nBut he already knew that she was cultivating when he probed around with his soul sense when he first came here .

nBut hearing his tone, something in Evelynn finally snapped .

n

"You just want to know my cultivation don't you? In fact, you already know it right? You want to make fun of me as well? Alright, I have only reached Peak Level Copper Stage, Peak Level Energy Condensation Stage! Miserable, right? At my age, with my status, I should've at least reached the third stage in both by now! Go ahead and laugh! Laugh all you want!

"

nShe had tears in her eyes . She waved her hands as she said .

n

"What Young Mistress of the Cauldon Family? What I am blessed to be married to the Prince? Does my opinion even matter in my family? I am just outright being sold off to you!

" Tears dropped like a fountain from her eyes as she looked at him in grievance .

nDavis was extremely dumbfounded .

nOne moment she acted mischievous, another moment she acted tough, and another moment she cried . He couldn't say if it was act or not but seeing her cry, he felt sad for some reason .

nHe didn't have a deep relationship with her . He felt that any consolation at this point would just feel like formality .

nDavis looked at her with a complex expression and said comfortingly .

n

"You've worked hard .

"

nEvelynn froze

nHe just left her with that sentence as remaining here shamelessly would make her even more embarrassed .

nAll those years, she tried so hard to cultivate, even though her talent was subpar at best . She would cultivate day and night, sometimes even without resting for a month .

nCompared to many geniuses, her talent was trash . If she wasn't' the Family Head's daughter, then she would not even be a respected member of her family . With her looks, at best she would've been sold off to someone in the name of marriage .

nNo one! No one had acknowledged her hard work other than Maisy . Almost everyone looked at her like an object, an object to increase the status of their family .

nAt that moment, she truly felt content and acknowledged as she cried out her grievances .
