章 86: Is There A Problem?

Evelynn sighed, "Anyway, I won't stop you from pursuing him, but if he doesn't want your company, then obediently back off. That is my bottom line." She then stood up and left the tent.

Zara felt a hostile intent in her voice, 'What bottom line? No matter how I see it, you don't want me to go near him, hmph!' She then frowned as her intuition told her that she should stop while she can.

'What she said also has a point... In the event that I get to marry him, but didn't manage to receive his attention, then my life will be basically ruined. The results don't match the risk.' She contemplated for a moment before making a decision.

....

In the far west end of the Firzen Island, a Black Viper swam out of the ocean as it hissed. It was 8m long, but it looked a tad bit harmless. It then looked above as it spotted a bird flying above a certain spot of the Island and slithered to its direction.

In the Main Arena.

'Jeje, let's see how you stop this one', Emperor Tritor laughed as he thought.

....

When Evelynn walked out of the tent, Davis arrived a few minutes later with Ellia.

"Gather around," Evelynn commanded as she looked at those two.

The Cauldon family youths gathered behind her and greeted Davis, but ignored Ellia.

"Alright, let's move out," Davis said calmly and no one ignored his command as they all moved out. They headed in the direction of the ship they arrived in.

The competition was almost going to end, and they were as good as selected for the final round, so they had no calms about their ranks being surpassed at this point by a rank or two.

As they moved in the direction of the ship, they engaged in idle chatter.

Suddenly Kent proudly revealed his ranking in front of everyone.

"I'm in the 15th position, what about you people?"

"As expected of the next heir of the Cauldon family." Davis calmly nodded his head.

"Thank you, Prince. May I know what rank you have achieved?" Kent asked. He was really curious as he couldn't classify Davis's cultivation.

"Haha, that's a secret."

"I understand, that's a little disappointing." Kent made a sad face. The others also looked a little disappointed.

"Eh? Aren't you going to hunt? Prince Davis?" Ellia asked incredulously.

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Evelynn looked at Ellia as she asked.

Davis grinned as he said, "I already finished hunting and that's more than enough for me."

"It can't be. The time your highness hunted for was too short. Only a few hours had passed." Ellia said as she shook her head in worry.

From Ellia's point of view, Davis was helping her hunt the whole time by guiding her and he had just taken off to hunt magical beasts for a few hours.

"We still have some time, we can hunt for a few hours," Kent said as he narrowed his eyes.

'Ohh Ellia... Just when I wanted to impress Evelynn, why do you do this?' Davis cried as the thought.

"No need, by the way, I have already hunted five magical beasts and am currently in the Top 1000," Davis said as he sighed.

"It's all my fault, if the prince didn't guide me in hunting magical beasts, he would have surely gotten the first place," Ellia said sadly as her eyes turned moist.

'What? He helped guide her in hunting magical beasts?'

They ignored the part where he would get the first place and instead focused on the part where he guided Ellia.

"You dared to waste the Prince's valuable time?" A youth shouted as he looked at Ellia.

"You should have just quit if you don't have the skill to hunt the magical beasts by yourself?" Another youth berated her as he used this opportunity to get in the good side of the prince.

Ellia dropped her head down as she was feeling ashamed. She felt sad as all that time has been wasted on her.

Just when Kent was going to comment on it...

"You two! Shut the hell up!" A solemn voice startled the two youths.

"You two combined wouldn't be able to defeat her. So stop your nonsense, no one asked you two to reprimand Ellia." Faint killing intent emanated in Davis's eyes as he gave his warning which made the two youths hold their breaths.

"Ellia, tell them what your rank is!" Davis commanded in a proud tone.

Rather than using a proud tone, Ellia said sadly, "5th Rank."

"What!?" Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.

It was one thing if a child of a Sky Rank Empire managed to achieve this feat. But what they witnessed was a lowly maid of a Sky Rank Empire achieving this feat, which utterly dumbfounded them!

Evelynn looked at Ellia and felt a sudden flux of inferiority. She clenched her fists and gazed intently at her. Her gaze was that of no longer of how one views an ordinary girl. Instead, it changed to how one sees a rival!

Davis made a smug face, viewing their expressions with satisfaction as he thought, 'That's right, she isn't a mere maid! She's my friend!'

"This... how?" Kent incredulously asked as he couldn't fathom what amount of resources the royal family would have used on her.

"You want to know how? Because she is my friend and I used some resources to train her. What? You have a problem?" Davis didn't hide anything as this was a fact to him and something to be proud of even though it looked unfair for some others.

"I don't dare! I didn't know she was the prince's friend!" Kent shook his head. He felt good to have not stepped on a landmine before.

"Then... Why is she your maid?" Then Evelynn asked the question everyone was wondering.

Davis narrowed his eyes, "She was originally recruited as my maid. Later, I made friends with her. Is there a problem?"

"..No... No problem!" Kent said as he smiled wryly and thought.

'Problem my ass! This is a matter of public execution for the maid!'
