Capítulo 116: Unknown Explosion

Laughing gently, Claire replied, "Haha, you don't have to apologize for it. I knew my son decided to trust you and tell you about it. I also knew what kind of a person you are. After all, I've been keeping tabs on you all this time."

"I'm being monitored?" Evelynn's smile froze when she heard that.

Claire lightly giggled as she patted her shoulders, "Hahaha, you believed that? I was kidding... Anyway, you don't have to look down on yourself anymore as I feel like I can trust you. Raise your self-esteem and become a worthy bride for my son that even I would look up to. Understand?"

"I-I'll try my best!" Evelynn nodded and felt awkward at the sudden change of events.

First, she was accused of seducing the Prince. Second, she was told that she was being tested. Third, they told her that she had passed and should work towards being a genuine bride.

The whole change of events was too fast for her to process, and she had no choice but to continue with the flow of events.

That said, she was delighted with the results as she had managed to get her in-laws' acknowledgment.

Claire smiled at her reply and was suddenly reminded of a certain thing, "As an apology for my actions before, I'll tell you about something that even my son hasn't realized yet."

Evelynn's eyes flickered, showing interest at the mention of him, "Is it about me?"

Claire giggled at her curious face and replied, "It's not about you, but it's certainly related to your future."

Evelynn's face was one of confusion, "Related to my future?"

"Well, it might just be my imagination, but you should be wary of that girl who is always with my son."

A silhouette appeared in her mind, who always looked at her with an unexplainable gaze, "Ellia..."

Boom!!

Suddenly an explosion resounded as it shook the whole Royal Castle.

Logan and Claire's expressions turned heavy, and their pupils dilated as they shuddered when they felt the wave of soul energy that brushed past them.

Evelynn fainted as she felt the burst of soul energy brush past her, but she was supported by Claire before she could collapse.

"What was that!?" Logan asked as he looked in a direction.

"Part of the Royal Castle has collapsed!" Claire's eyes widened as Logan flew over in that direction.

Logan hurriedly extended his soul sense to find out the powerful intruder while Claire rushed off at an incredible speed to her chambers, wanting to protect her children.

A few seconds passed before they arrived at their separate destinations.

Claire felt relieved to see Edward being safe but fainted. She quickly carried him and located Clara and Diana with her soul sense as she promptly headed in their direction without wasting a single second.

Logan half kneeled in front of the collapsed part of the Royal Castle, his eyes were narrowed, and the soul pressure he was facing made him unable to stand up on his two feet.

He raised his face to look at the scene, which he was unable to process with his knowledge.

A little girl strangled Davis with a single hand as he was lifted up into the air.

"Who are you!?" His son shouted hoarsely as his neck was strangled.

"Me? You don't need to know that, you little swine. All you need to know is that your fate ends here!"

Davis's eyes trembled as his face contorted in pain. He suddenly grinned with difficulty, "I want to see you dare kill me in the presence of my master!"

...

A few minutes earlier, before Logan arrived at the scene.

"Honestly, I don't know how to speak with Ellia anymore. She couldn't make it any clear that she loves me. But if I accepted her, then..."

Davis thought as a complex expression appeared on his face as he thought of Evelynn, but he shook his head.

"Besides, how dare she run away while we talk and leave me hanging there like a fool? Her courage has grown greatly since the time of the Grand Sea Continent Meet!"

Davis kept complaining incessantly about her actions, but at the same time, he had a faint smile on his face that said he still couldn't help but care about her.

She was just the girl he taught her to be, proud and able to stand up for herself in this dog-eat-dog world.

He kept walking towards her assigned residence as he reminisced about their time together in these three years.

[

"So…Sorry, Master. I am called Ellia."

"Mi.. miss Ellia? Your lowly servant doesn't require that much of an honorific, my Prince."

"Anything but that! I'll accept any punishment. Please punish this lowly one."

]

"Sigh, that timid little girl grew up to be a tigress. When I first met her, she wasn't even able to form a proper sentence when she spoke in front of me. And now, I'm the one who is getting berated by her?" Chuckling wryly, he continued to contemplate.

'This is certainly a quick growth which is quite impossible for a child. But the foundation for a person's personality mostly gets established in their childhood. I guess it isn't a stretch to say that her change in personality is possible for her age group. Wait... Could it be that she had reached puberty and had her first period that it drove her mad?'

Countless possibilities raced through his mind as he thought of the reason for her weird actions.

He finally reached in front of her residence and stood in front of the door.

"Sigh, let's just ask her by myself and be done with this mess." He muttered to himself as he knocked on the door, then shouted, "Ellia, I apologize if I have been insensitive to you. Just open the door so we can discuss and come to an understanding!"

A few seconds passed before he tried to open the door after seeing that she didn't reply.

"It opened? She didn't lock the door?" He pushed the door and looked inside, "She's cultivating!?"

Confusion was visible on his face as he quickly went up to her.

Ellia sat in a lotus position as she cultivated. Her face was still stained with two lines of tears.

"...?"

He was stunned, not knowing how she felt to be crying like this, before he quickly tried to wake her out of her sorrowful reverie. Cultivating like this wasn't good.

"Ellia! Ellllia...? Ellliaaaa!"

He tried calling her, but she still didn't stop cultivating, "What the... Did she seal up her five senses? Is she that mad at me?"

Davis's lips pursed before he muttered wryly.

"Sigh, didn't I tell her to wait a little more until I can find some resources which will enable us to develop a first-level core? Is this her way of getting revenge on me?"
