Chapter 100

"Wait! I almost forgot!" Davis suddenly shouted .

Ellia was startled, "Hmm? Forgot? Forgot what?"

"The gift! I told you that I"ll give you a gift . " Davis said as he took out a s.p.a.ce ring from his own s.p.a.ce ring .

"This! No way! That is not something I deserve! This kind of gift!? Even if I sell myself, I won"t be able to obtain it!" Ellia panicked .

"Then sell yourself, I shall buy you!" Davis chuckled and inclined his head .

Ellia extended out her tongue, "Peh! I just now got out of servitude and you want me now to get into it again!? No can"t do!"

"Alright, enough bulls.h.i.+t . Here!" Davis shoved the s.p.a.ce ring into her hands .

"If you don"t want it, just throw it out! " He said as he walked away .

"You!" Ellia was stunned . She held the s.p.a.ce ring in her hands tightly as she thought, "You! If you keep doing this, when will I be able to clear my debts away!?"

With her sane reasoning, she wouldn"t throw it away no matter the case as she knew how valuable this s.p.a.ce ring could be in this Grand Sea Continent .

"Wait! Take it back!!!"

. . .

In the same s.h.i.+p, in a particular cabin .

A lonely figure rested on a bed as it looked outside the ocean through the window, as though it was thinking about someone .

*Knock*

Suddenly, knocking sounds could be heard through the door .

"You came after all . . . " That figure had a faint smile on its face as it approached the door and opened it .

"Evelynn, I"ve come to visit you! Why don"t you invite your husband inside?" Davis grinned .

*Bang*

The door was closed with a frightful force so much that it startled him .

"What!?" Davis was stunned as he thought, "Doesn"t she like me?"

He looked back to hear Ellia"s opinion, only to see her shrug as if it wasn"t her business .

Inside the cabin .

Evelynn had her pretty face contorted in happiness as well as helplessness .

"He says that he came to visit me!? Who in their right mind would come to meet their fiancee with another girl!?" She thought wryly .

"Wait! Why am I jealous of her!? Isn"t she just a little girl? If I think normally then she should possess no threat to me . . . Hmm . . . Makes sense . " She convinced herself as she patted her chest, making it bounce slightly .

She then opened the door as she smiled, "Please enter, Prince Davis . "

Davis laughed wryly, "Alright, I won"t tease you anymore . . . "

Evelynn was astonished before turning back to head to a table . She giggled as she took a seat .

Davis totally thought that the reason for her to close the door on him was because he called himself "husband" in front of her .

He followed her into the room and took a seat at the table . He then suddenly turned back and saw Ellia standing outside the door .

"Ellia, what are you waiting for? Come inside"

Ellia had a wry smile on her face, "Its fine, I"ll stay outside . " She said as she closed the door .

Davis blinked and murmured to himself, "Alright . . . "

He turned back his head to see a smile that was not a smile, plastered on Evelynn"s face .

"What is my Prince here for?" Evelynn asked with a slight smile on her face .

"To hear your voice . " David involuntarily said as heard her melodious voice .

"Ah, no . . . " But he quickly denied it only to realise that he made a mistake .

There was an awkward moment of silence, but that awkwardness was only for Davis as Evelynn only kept glaring at him as she lightly smiled .

Davis laughed wryly, "It isn"t like that, what I wanted to say was that I came here for another reason . Of course, I"m also here to see you, otherwise, I would"ve just sent someone to tell you . "

"Another reason? What is it?" Evelynn quickly turned curious .

"The matter of cultivating to the Revolving Core Stage," Davis said, his face solemn .

Evelynn narrowed her eyes as her expression turned serious .

"Thanks for trusting me with this matter! I am indebted to you, my Prince . " She said in a sincere tone .

"Don"t be so fast! It"s just that I don"t know when I"ll be able to finish researching about that, so I want you to understand that it might take more than a year . "

"A year, I understand . . . " She calmly replied .

"Wait, that"s just the case when I"m confident about this . In truth, it could be worse, and might take more than 10 years . "

"More than 10 years!??" Her eyes shot wide open as she stared at Davis with an incredulous expression .

He continued, "I"m not deceiving you! It"s just that I truly . . . " Evelynn raised her hand, cutting him short from speaking any more words .

"No need to say anymore, I"ve already waited a year for this, a few more years isn"t going to make any difference . Besides, with my talent, there"s a limit to what I"ll achieve in the future without your help . Furthermore, I am depending on you when we aren"t even married, and you are taking a huge leap in even trusting me in the first place . . . " She then took a deep breath, "It"s not even a stretch to say that you are already treating me as your wife . " Her cheeks turned red as she said that while her expression turned complicated .

Davis was stunned, his eyes were wide open as he tried to comprehend the words she said .

" . . . . O-Okay~!" He replied, quite flabbergasted and overwhelmed .

"This . . . you believe me?" Davis asked with a startled expression on his face .

"I want to and have no choice but to . . . " Evelynn smiled wryly .

"Haha, right . . . " Davis wryly smiled .

Still, he felt trusted all the same, "I like your honesty in telling me the truth . "

"Relations.h.i.+ps are built on trust, am I wrong?" She smirked, her face lit up with a beautiful smile .

He shook his hands, "No, I have the same thoughts as well . "

She laughed, "Haha, you"re quite mature for your age . Did your revered master teach you about moral values?"

"Haha, you could say that . "

"f.u.c.k! Just when she said that relations.h.i.+ps are built on trust, I am already lying to her!?" Davis thought as he cried inside .

"I"ll send word as soon as possible to you when I complete the research . Until then, goodbye . " Davis stood up, he felt guilty all of a sudden . Besides, Ellia was waiting for him outside, so he decided to leave sooner .

"Oh? You won"t come to visit me until the time comes?" Her voice turned cold as she smiled .

"I"ll meet, I"ll meet!" Davis quickly shook his hands .

Evelynn raised her head proudly . She felt good to get one over him .

Davis walked to the door sadly . He opened the door and was going to exit when suddenly, he smirked back and said, "Don"t blame me if you lose your innocence when I come to visit you!" He shut the door as he went outside without hearing her reply .

"You!" Evelynn fumed while her she thought about his words . Various images popped into her mind which made her blush hard .

"Trying to tease me? Heh!" Standing outside the door, a joyful smile was on his face, totally forgetting the fact that he was still a kid .
