Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 44

”Finally, I never thought there will be a day where that idiot will leave the Royal Castle!”

”Who is that Idiot?” Ellia asked doubtfully .

”Hmm… The Emperor of course . ” Davis grinned and laughed .

”You! You know no fear!” Ellia pouted, she couldnʼt imagine how he could spout this nonsense .

These two returned to the Study after sending off the Emperor in the evening .

”Listen, Iʼll sneak out this night . ”

”Mmhh… Donʼt ask me if I get caught . ” Ellia said .

”Alright, at that time, you can just that I sneaked out without you even knowing, or you can even just say that I knocked you out and went somewhere . But if Clara is the one doing the questioning, donʼt answer, just faint . ”

”Eh? Why?”

”Simple, lies donʼt work on her, thatʼs all . ”

”If you say so…” Ellia had her doubts but chose to do as he says .

Meanwhile, he went to visit everyone and played with Claire, Clara, and Diana while Edward Loret, the second prince who was still a toddler, was sleeping peacefully .

This went on till he bid farewell to everyone and returned to the Study in the night .

. . .

In the Study .

He put on a Peak Earth Grade Black Robe which helps him to conceal his aura, but he only wore it as a second layer protection to conceal his true appearance when using the Dark Concealing Shroud Art and Disguise Art together .

”Alright Ellia, Iʼll be going now, remember to take care . ” Davis prepared to sneak out .

”Hmm, take care…” Ellia said worriedly .

Davis nodded and left .

He was silent as possible when he made his way out, though such secrecy wasnʼt required when he was using his Dark Concealing Shroud Art which was way effective in the night .

He remembered the guards patrol routine during these few days, so he was able to avoid people on his way out . He didnʼt jump out of the Royal Castle because he feared that he might possibly trigger an alarm formation .

Davis finally reached the entrance of the castle and exited the Royal Castle smoothly .

”Yes, I made it out!”

He walked on the streets, he didnʼt dare run across on top of the building afraid that he might trigger a formation, though he really wanted to do that since every fantasy character he read did that at least once .

ʼSuch hindrance, I mightʼve been able to do that in a starting village . ʼ Davis thought .

There were a lot of people walking around the streets . Even in the night people were pretty active as cultivators didnʼt require much sleep at all in the first place . Sleep was just a luxury to the cultivators .

ʼShould I visit Evelynn? Itʼs been already a year . No, no, no… Maybe I should visit her secretly . ”

Somehow he felt like he was having an affair in the lonely night .

Davis shook his head and thought .

ʼYes . It is just difficult to talk with her in public . If I donʼt talk to her alone, then it will be quite difficult to get a true answer from her . ʼ Reasoning it like that, he left the streets and made his way towards the Cauldon family manor as he knew that he would not find her in the Cauldon Pill Store at this time .

Even if he made his way to the Cauldon Pill Store, he would get caught as he would trigger a formation or possibly get caught by an expert when he enters the Cauldon Emporium sneakily .

He arrived at the Cauldon family manor and maintained a certain distance from it . It was a Chinese styled manor . He knew that it would be like this since Evelynn wore a Cheongsam .

ʼI did come, but now, how do I possibly let her know that Iʼm here?ʼ

He had no idea so he circled around the manor, hoping to spot her through a window or something .

He circled around and waited for a long time, but still couldnʼt find which room she was in .

Davis sighed and left the place . Just when he left, a beautiful lonely silhouette could be seen glancing out of the window, that glance was towards the towering Royal Castle .

A sigh escaped from that silhouette as it closed the window .

. . .

Davis walked around the streets and entered into an alley .

”Alright, you bastards, care to come out?”

He had a vague feeling that he was being followed right after he left the Royal Castle, but he then took it as just his insecurity during the night acting up . But the feeling just kept getting stronger when he was circling around the Cauldon family manor .

After a moment of silence, an eerie laughter sounded out .

”You sure are perceptive, how did you get out of the Royal Palace without triggering any formations brother? Are you an expert assassin?”

Two silhouette appeared in the alley, both dressed in black robes .

”Maybe… Who are you people?”

Davis used his Death Soul Sense on them, he was shocked .

”Hmm? I didnʼt notice at first but your voice is pretty young now that I hear it again . ”

”Haha, you canʼt be like that, you shouldnʼt probe fellow assassins like us . If we do that then we will not be able to survive in this field . ”

They openly took out their weapons .

”Now brother, we can let this matter go if you promise to give us the method to bypass the Royal Castleʼs formation . What do you say? Good deal, right?”

Davis knew why they would ask this, because they were… .

”Stop bullshitting, Case Farnwen and Cooper Hawkwood . You want to get reported?”

ʼAh, I just wanted to say that . ʼ

The two silhouettes went silent, they were dumbfounded right now . These two were precisely the two family heads who led the rebels and somehow managed to escape .

”Brat, I donʼt know how you managed to discover our identity . Hmph, weʼll take our leave now . ” Case Farnwen backed out as he thought it wasnʼt wise to go against this guy who could see through them even when they wore a disguise .

”And where do you think you shits are going?”

”Donʼt go too far!” They both shouted .

Davis removed his hood while deactivating his Dark Concealing Shroud Art . He grinned while looking down on them condescendingly .

”You! You are the First Prince? How can it be?” Case Farnwen exclaimed .

”I never expected the First Prince to be this powerful at his age!” Cooper Hawkwood had his eye wide .

”Luckily, he was stupid enough to get himself killed this early!”

”Hahaha!” They both then laughed madly .
