Uninvited Guest

Days passed by as Davis and Evelynn stayed at that unnamed Royal Palace for a week, recuperating.

The scars on her body disappeared, while her left arm closed up, and her right arm still in the midst of healing.

Davis had almost gone mad when he heard that there were no apothecaries present in the capital during this time. Apparently, a competition was held for the seniors and juniors of the apothecary world in another city.

He had no choice but to wait and take care of her till an expert apothecary arrived.

On the last day, a female apothecary arrived, checked up on Evelynn's body and told Davis that there were no internal or fatal injuries to her body.

This made Davis relax his nerves. Even though he had already determined her condition, he wasn't an authentic apothecary in the first place. His eyesight and senses could go wrong sometimes, and he didn't want anything to happen to her. He needed the opinion of an authentic apothecary before he calmed his nerves.

The female apothecary left after Davis paid her handsomely.

Evelynn smiled as she gazed at Davis's relaxed figure.

During this entire week, her love for him grew deeply, looking at him care for her all while long.

She felt love to the point that even if she had died now, she would've felt content in this life.

Looking at her smile, Davis smiled back warmly.

He suddenly remembered something now that he was eased, "I'm going out."

"Where are you going?" She asked in confusion. if possible she would like to have him stay for some more time.

"Wait here, I'll bring the woman who harmed you!" Davis coldly replied.

The Ashton Family arrested Hana Ross for plotting to kill a crown prince's wife. They held her in a prison where ruthless criminals were imprisoned.

The Ross Family feigned ignorance and didn't dare to talk about this matter while the Claymore Family tactfully disowned the two daughters who were dead.

People thought that they didn't want to bicker over the two corpses, but the truth was that even if they had fought, they would've been one-sidedly decimated.

Both sides knew this, so the matter came to an end with Emperor Ashton intervening indirectly to smoothen the situation.

Even though the matter had been concluded, Davis made sure to be cautious and learned every important name of the Ross Family and the Claymore Family.

If he felt anything amiss, he swore that he will quickly exterminate their upper echelon in an instant.

"No, no need!" Evelynn quickly replied in a calm tone.

Davis narrowed his eyes, "Why? Are you going to let her go?" He asked her back with a confused expression on her face.

Evelynn nodded her head, "She didn't join them to try and kill me. There is no need to punish her anymore. In fact, without her indirect help, I would've died already."

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Widening his eyes, he felt that she was lying for a moment, just to save Hana.

Evelynn calmed down before she took a huge breath, "First, she shouted for her comrades to stop, but they didn't. Secondly, when that woman called Vanis tried to stealthily kill me, she shouted out, indirectly warning me. Lastly, she didn't join them to kill me! If she did, then you would have only gotten my severed head, while my body would be somewhere lying on the floor!"

"Stop! I understand! No need to go that far! I'll just tell them to release her! Okay!?" He exaggeratedly shook his hands and shouted in a comical manner.

What kind of bullshit was this? She went that far to defend someone who just hadn't participated to kill her. Davis shook his head, feeling that she was way too kind.

Evelynn giggled a little and nodded with her lovely face.

Looking at her lovely face, he couldn't help but sigh. Thinking that he can kill that Hana in an instant, he put the matter on the back of his head.

While some might worry about retaliation, it certainly didn't apply to him. Almost every upper echelon member knew that he had five more 'talismans' which are capable of killing them in an instant.

On top of that, they knew he was protected by an expert, who was widely called, 'Senior'.

Only a fool would try to pick a fight with him in this world unless of course, if he ruthlessly provoked someone in the first place.

Sighing gently, he uttered, "We'll leave tomorrow morning..."

"Hmm..." She nodded her head again and beckoned him to come over closer with her finger.

Davis smiled and headed closer to her, planting a kiss on her lips as he held her cheeks.

"Rest well." Gently smiling, he separated. Just when he thought of cultivating now that his mind has been set free of worry, he sensed a presence approaching outside the palace.

To protect her from any malicious soul attacks, he kept his soul sense extended 200m for seven days straight, even now.

He was exhausted but just took it as a form of training.

Evelynn nodded her head and just when she was about to lie down, she heard Davis say, "Looks like we have a guest."

Davis waved his hand, and the doors automatically opened up.

He and Evelynn kept waiting for some time before a red-robed figure appeared in front of their view.

Davis looked at Shirley coldly. If it weren't for his stupid decision to stay and cure her poison, he felt that he could have saved Evelynn.

Even though it was an unintentional delaying on her part, he couldn't help but slightly blame her for that brief amount of precious time he lost.

Evelynn was truly surprised as she didn't expect her newly made friend to visit at this time.

"Keeping tabs on the events that are going on here? I think that it isn't good..." Davis coldly uttered to Shirley as he moved his gaze away.

Shirley froze, but smile wryly as she replied, "I couldn't help it. My father said to not meet you two during this time because he said that you looked as if you're gonna kill someone. Only after the apothecary left did I learn that you have calmed down..."
