Chapter 114

Ellia clenched her teeth and replied,

"The nightmare I experienced . . . is kinda hazy . It's like I am being chased down by numerous people . They creepily laugh at me and hunt me down as if I were nothing but a prey for them .

"

Davis lifted up his brows, 'That's a gruesome experience . . . '

He then nodded,

"I see, from when have you been experiencing this?

"

"I've been experiencing these dreams for about a month .

" She put her head down as she answered sadly .

Hearing that, he narrowed his eyes as he doubted himself, 'Am I that unreliable that she won't even come to find me to talk about it?'

Still, without being disappointed, he continued asking questions,

"Do you get these nightmares when you're sleeping?

"

"Yes, but not only at that time,

" Passing for a moment, she resumed,

"I get these nightmares while I cultivate as well .

"

He nodded again and thought, 'Weird, during cultivation? So far, her soul is normal from what I've seen . Could it be a heart demon? No, she's too pure for that . Then what else could it be?' He kept pondering about the reason for a while before he decided to think later, 'For now, let's just comfort her . '

Davis patted her head as he said,

"There's no need to worry, it's just a dream . I am here for you . If people in this continent dare t . . .

"

*Pah!*

Davis widened his eyes in sheer incredulity as he froze . He couldn't believe his eyes or the feeling of being rejected .

Ellia slapped his hands away from her and clenched her fists slowly as she pointed at him .

"You were not there!!

" She shouted in a suppressed voice .

"No matter how I called for your help, you were not there! They lynched me! Cut me into pieces while I shouted your name! You were still not there!

" Grievance welled up in her eyes, her voice cracked as she sobbed .

"And here, you distance yourself away from me while I try to not let you go!

"

"Ellia!

" He came out of his reverie and once again reached out for her with his hands .

She took a step back as she wiped those years away,

"You two can act intimately all you want and I don't care .

" She turned back and ran away .

He stood there stunned as if he had just experienced a catastrophe .

A few moments passed before his dumbfounded face became normal and turned bewildered .

'Is that Ellia?' He asked himself in a confused manner .

To him, she was always a quiet girl who cares for him when he doesn't even say anything . He just maintained a certain distance from her because he could see her growing up to be a fine woman .

'Her personality took a 180° turn . . . ' He thought as he smiled wryly .

He then sighed as he muttered,

"It's all my fault again . . . but judging by the fact that she said, this has been happening for over a month .

"

Suddenly a creepy laugh echoed in his mind,

"Hehe . . . Truly interesting .

"

"Oye! You know something don't you!?

" Davis's eyes widened, not so surprised .

"Not really, besides I don't have to answer for every unexplainable matter that happens to you . . .

"

"You! What did you do to her!?

" Seeing that the death note didn't answer his question, he doubted it as his anger flared up . Nightmares were seemingly its fault for Davis .

"Nothing, I was in your soul the whole time . How can I possibly do anything without you noticing?

" It casually replied .

Davis gritted his teeth and closed his eyes before he opened,

"I hope that is the case .

"

It sneered as it challenged,

"Or else what?

"

Davis just stayed silent as his eyes and expression grew cold .

"If you care about her so much, then why don't you just make her your women? She doesn't need to practice cultivation and can live with you till she dies peacefully . . .

"

"That's not up for you to decide .

" A cold reply came out from his mouth .

"Hehehe

" The voice creepily laughed as it slowly became inaudible .

Davis clenched his fists as he felt worried for her . At the same time, he felt that something was clearly wrong with Ellia, especially after what the death note expressed .

"I must get to the bottom of this matter!

" He swore as he found the resolve to find out the abnormality even if it meant that he could somehow possibly offend her in some way .

. . .

In the throne hall, there were only three people . As a matter of fact, all the others who were supposed to be here have had been dismissed temporarily .

"Evelynn greets the Emperor and the Empress!

" Evelynn bowed down as she clasped her hands . Her expression was one of determination while her thought was of to leave a favourable first impression on them .

"Good!

" Logan said as he looked at her and glanced at Claire . In truth, he didn't know what to say in this situation, so he glanced at Claire for help .

Evelynn felt good at receiving a compliment from the Emperor . She now felt that she could somehow gain their acknowledgement .

Claire rolled her eyes . She didn't even know why he spoke in the first place as she was the one who called Evelynn to the throne hall .

Claire flicked her sleeves and spoke,

"Evelynn Cauldon was it? Do you know that you are in no way deserving of my child!

" Her frosty expression made her look cold and vicious .

Evelynn trembled as she heard it . Her previous thought disappeared as soon as it came . She slightly put her head down and replied,

"You are absolutely right, my Empress .

"

"If it weren't for the promise we made to your father, the Cauldon Family's Head, you would have no chance to even be here, much less marry my first son!

" Claire ended her sentence with an irritated tone .

"I've known it since ages ago .

" Evelynn lifted up her head and answered back, she knew long ago that status wise or talent wise, she couldn't match up to him .

Claire harrumphed as if she as displeased,

"Girl, do you know your wrongs!?

"

The moment Evelynn heard that she widened her eyes in confusion,

"Wrongs? My Empress, I truly don't know what you're talking about!

"
