Capítulo 114: Unease
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!"
