The Day Before Departure

Davis's impression of his elder brother clearly improved a little bit.

"That man who poisoned you, I arrested his entire family and put them in imprisonment," Logan uttered in a cold tone.

Davis sighed. If it was like that, then he wouldn't have to worry about this matter for any reason.

He looked at Logan and said, "Father, just like you said. Take responsibility for Miss Violet and marry her at a later date." Turning to look at Violet, he continued, "Miss Violet, all your worries are unfounded. Talk with my mother about it and get her consent. I'm sure my mother wouldn't be unreasonable about it."

Clasping his hands, he slightly bowed, "I'll leave tomorrow, and I hope for a unified family to be there when I come back home. Then, I'll take my leave."

Logan nodded with a determined face as he knew what his son was implying.

Violet was astonished to see his temperament and the care for his family. She now felt extremely shameful of herself for being jealous of him at that time.

While Davis turned back and left, he sent a soul transmission to his father, "I didn't think you were such a scum... having a physical relationship with a woman and walking out like it was nothing!"

Logan's face changed as his expression turned ugly. He then hurriedly sent a soul transmission, "I really didn't think she would get pregnant!"

"It's not a matter of getting pregnant. You took advantage of her love and did something you should have never done. Not only did you leave her pregnant but instead abandoned her by totally forgetting about her. It is the cruel truth. If I were you, I at least would never forget someone I made love with, not even... once in my life." Davis looked back at him coldly and left right after closing the door.

Logan went silent from his harsh words. He himself knew that he was weak to women, making him a womanizer during his youthful period.

He satisfied his lust as he slept with a lot of women during his youth, but never made it a point to love or enrich his relationship with them.

Not until did he meet Claire did he know the true meaning of love, something which he hadn't experienced before. It made him not look at any woman again, causing him to unconsciously forget about his previous affairs.

"I truly am a scum..." He muttered as he sighed in a low voice. He looked at Violet and suddenly felt guilty, which he hadn't felt all this while.

"He... Emperor, your son is so matured..." Violet found it hard to believe that Davis was only 11-years-old.

"Ahh, he is my pride..." Logan uttered with a sigh. He hated to admit it but felt that his son was way more mature than him but wasn't surprised as he assumed that his son was a reincarnated being.

He suddenly stood up and his majestic voice echoed at her vulnerable heart, "Violet, I know that I've caused you so many difficulties and struggles. Let me take responsibility! Will you marry me?"

Feeling that his tone should show his determination, he rephrased as he narrowed his eyes, "No, please marry me!"

Violet widened her eyes, her heart felt incredibly happy before she smiled at him wryly, "Shouldn't we have your Empress's consent?"

Logan froze, he quickly regained his bearings before responding, "I'll ask for her forgiveness while you ask her for me to take responsibility. Only by doing this will we have a chance to marry, a chance for me to take responsibility."

Violet's face changed, not able to believe that youth who didn't care about anything, now cares about responsibility, "You... you have changed. At that time, you were free, not bound by anything. I understand I'll ask for her consent." Violet said with a slight smile on her face. She felt a little sad because he viewed her as a responsibility, not even as a lover.

She quietly consoled herself by convincing that she could develop love with him over time.

"Alright, rest well then... We'll go meet her tomorrow after sending off Davis..." Logan uttered gently. To this woman who appeared out of nowhere, he had no idea on how to treat her because of his love for Claire.

...

After Davis exited the room, he gave a side glance to his elder brother and slightly moved his mouth before he left.

Ernest narrowed his eyes and repeated the movement of his mouth while he muttered slowly, "Take care of your mother?"

"I don't properly understand... but even if you hadn't said it, I'll still take care of my mother..." Slowly muttering to himself, he somehow had a feeling that he had misunderstood the royal family all this time.

Davis left as he smiled and felt that some misunderstanding might have cleared up for all of them. He sighed thinking, 'Sigh, having a huge family seems like a headache...'

He could now slightly understand why the denizens of this cultivation world would be so cruel towards their own children. He felt that it was because they had too many children that they stopped caring about them and began seeing them as assets to improve their gains.

As he kept thinking about this matter, he finally arrived at his study and opened the door as he went inside to see a woman, waiting for him with an enchanting smile on her face, causing his heart to beat disorderly for a moment.

He looked at her face which resembled the time when he first met her, a vicious and seductive smile which can topple the hearts of men.

A slight sigh could be heard from his mouth as he silently muttered to himself while he face-palmed, "I'm telling you, Davis, keep your sanity, don't lose it! This type of smile is one which invites disaster!"

Even while one of her arms had been severed, it still didn't even remove one bit of her natural mature appearance as she wore a robe.

"Welcome back, husband..." A sultry voice echoed out from her cherry red lips, causing him to shudder slightly.

He took a deep breath before smiling wryly, "Stop teasing me Evelynn, I won't be able to hold back myself..."

A healthy red hue spread across her cheeks as her expression slightly changed to a shy one, which just made her even more desirable.
