Chapter 36: Become My Friend!

Name:Divine Emperor of Death Author:
Davis could see that she didn't immediately answer and was currently hesitating on her decision. Else, she would have openly said that she didn't like this engagement or that she would willingly marry him.

'Looks like she is forced too. Oh, but I'm not opposed to this anymore either. So it's not 'too' anymore' Davis sighed.

"There is no need to decide so soon, Miss Evelynn. I can see some hesitation in your eyes. But the sooner you make your decision, the better it is for your reputation." Davis calmly said.

Evelynn couldn't believe her ears. This little boy didn't take a liking to her and decided to let the engagement go just like that? Or did he consider her feelings and said that? She couldn't guess which one was it.

"Then I bid you farewell, Miss Evelynn." Davis had no choice but to leave after creating this awkward atmosphere. He wanted to escape from further embarrassment as soon as possible.

Ellia watched followed him closely while she watched him in admiration. She didn't forget the 'experience' she had with him yesterday. It turned her view of the world upside down. She could even get into a grave trouble by playing a game with him?

'What else has the Prince has in store for me?' She very much looked forward to it.

She wasn't the one to give up easily. But if this was her fate, to live as a maid till she dies, then she will her life to the fullest as a maid rather than try to break free from it, only to die early by betraying the Royal Family.

After the Prince left. Evelynn had a complex feeling in her heart.

"Interesting" She muttered with a wide smile on her lips. If Davis had saw that then he would've probably kidnapped her to make her his first wife.

"Young Mistress, the Prince is just a little kid for now. So what he says will have no effect on the marriage. Please give up any thoughts of backing out." George said warily. He had to report this to the Cauldon Family Head as quickly as possible.

"Miss! Wasn't that your chance?" Maisy muttered over Evelynn's ears. Evelynn stayed silent.

Evelynn felt mildly confused, she felt like she couldn't make a decision anymore. She didn't have any lovers or such people in her life. Since she was engaged to the Prince, no one dared to woo her openly either. So she didn't have much experience interacting with the opposite sex.

Davis was deep in thought after getting into the carriage.

'Still, what is this feeling? I feel like I just gave her amnesty, pardoned her from her fate with a single sentence of mine. Is this how people at the top of the power hierarchy feel? No wonder they are so hungry for more power and authority. Even I feel like I can get drunk on it.' He shook his head sighed.

He thought that he had enough of his first day out in the Royal Capital. The moment he met Evelynn, he was satisfied for the day. So he ordered the carriage driver to return to the Royal Castle.

He talked with Renard for some time till they arrived at the Royal Castle. After that, he straight away went into the Study.

After making himself comfortable, he thought that he should continue to develop Eliia's personality as well. After yesterday she was a little open to him. Now is a perfect moment to break her shell since the effects of yesterday were still there.

"So Ellia, what do you think about Miss Evelynn?" Davis asked.

"Me? I think she is very beautiful and is perfectly matches with the Prince. Truly a match made in heaven." Ellia shook her head and sighed in admiration.

He glared at her. "Tell your true thoughts."

"Erm.. She is too much of an independent and proud women, I don't think that she will agree to be your concubine." Ellia puffed and replied.

"That's what I thought too."

Suddenly, Davis stood in front of her face. Ellia froze realizing that their heads were too close.

Davis looked into her eyes deeply.

'What? What is this? Is he going to do it now?'

*Badump* *Badump*

Ellia's heart beat like a young maiden. She could feel his deep gaze, and it felt like her heart was going to explode. She couldn't bear his gaze, so she closed her eyes and waited for it to end.

She waited and waited for what it felt like a long time but nothing happened. She slowly opened her eyes only to see Davis seated on his bed, looking a little disappointed.

'Why is the Prince disappointed, was it because I didn't k… kiss him?' Ellia thought.

"Ellia." Davis's voice was tranquil.

"Y..Yes?" Ellia was truly nervous.

"Why didn't you push me back?" Davis asked a stupid question.

"Push? How can I? There's no way I can do that, I am your maid, Master! In other words, your slave!" She let out her angry emotions. What did he even expect from his servant?

There was a moment of silence

"Did I buy you?" Davis asked calmly.

"..No" She thought and answered.

"Did I ever say that you were my slave?" He stood up.

"No." He never did call her that.

"Did I ever say that you were my maid?" Davis walked towards her.

"..No." Thinking of it, he never even treated her like that.

"Then why are you degrading yourself?" He stood in front of Ellia.

"I…" She couldn't think clearly anymore. Her thoughts were jumbled.

Suddenly she felt warm arms envelop her body in an embrace. She didn't know why but she felt warm and secure in that embrace.

"Become my friend!" Davis suddenly asked.

"I..I can't" She had tears in her eyes. Something felt like breaking in her head.

"Call me Davis!"

"No…" Ellia felt like something was stuck in her throat, she tried to get it out.

"Call me Davis." Davis repeated, he was not giving up after coming this far.

"Davis!" She finally had her inferiority complex break.

"Again!" Davis smiled, he happily said.

"Davis!"

"Again!"

"Davis! Davis! Davis!" Tears were running down her eyes while she had a smile on her face.

'Yes, why am I degrading myself when the person I serve, doesn't even look at me like a servant. Am I looking down on myself? Have I truly given up? Have I lost something?"

"You, Ellia, have unofficially become my friend." Davis let go of her and happily said with a grin on his face. He didn' think that he would be able to change her mentality so soon.

'She must be a very strong minded girl.' He thought.

"Hmm.." She bit her lips and nodded her head.

At that moment, a thought sprouted in her head which made her heart flutter.
