Elder Brother Ernest

"I do, it's with me..." Claire said as she smiled and thought, 'This child, does he love her so much?'

She was incredibly glad that her son could find someone he loved. Cultivation was an arduous task and doing it alone would cause one to develop mental instabilities.

As a mother, she hoped that someone would accompany him through his cultivation path or someone who would at least support him as he traverses through the cultivation path.

"Can you show it to me?" With a smiling face, Davis eagerly asked.

Claire looked at the both of them with a sneaky glance and giggled, "Here..." Saying so, she handed over a scroll that appeared in her hand.

Davis grasped the scroll and looked at it. Verifying that it was indeed their marriage agreement, he looked at Evelynn.

Evelynn gently nodded and smiled. She could tell what he was going to do next and allowed it because she had full trust in him.

Sizzle!

Numerous sparks of lightning spread over the scroll, burning it down to ashes.

"What are you doing!?????" Claire widened her eyes and shouted in incredulity and almost misunderstood the situation.

"I did what I had to do!" Davis replied coldly.

Claire had a confused expression on her face, prompting him to explain the events before he came to the Royal Castle.

"Those leechers! Can't they just die and rid of their existences from this world?" Claire coldly harrumphed in displeasure after hearing how her daughter-in-law suffered. She had faint killing intent emitting from her eyes which described her fury.

Davis raised his eyebrows, but he knew why her expression changed. It seemed as if it reminded her of some ugly memories of her Alstreim Family's elders.

A few moments passed in silence before Claire opened her mouth, "That said, it's best if you teach some manners to the new prince... Oh, my bad, the first prince to show respect to his elders." Claire slightly giggled. Her meaning was clear, she clearly told him to beat him up, and show him his place in the Royal Castle.

"Mom, are you sure that you are not holding a grudge against him? Besides, what do you mean elder? I'm younger than him!" Davis chuckled a little, causing Evelynn on the side to secretly laugh.

"You! Here I am trying to establish your might in the Royal Castle and you're teasing me?" Claire asked with an aggrieved expression in her face. Clicking her tongue in displeasure, she continued, "You know, after you go away, what if he places his hands on your..."

Before she could finish her words, Davis bowed and clasped his hands, "I'll immediately teach him a lesson according to the Empress's wishes!"

"Good!" Claire smiled with a haughty expression on her face, making her dazzle like a noble figure.

Davis lifted up his eyebrows and cried mentally, 'How scary! Mothers like her always know how to get their job done! Is she still my mother? Where is my mother? Give me back my kind mother!'

But his eyes then turned cold when he thought of her words and his previous mistake, 'But she has a point, it's better to warn others before they do some stupid stuff that will make me go seriously mad enough to massacre!'

Originally, he thought that he could ignore this elder brother of his and relax, but once he thought of the possible consequences, his mind changed quickly to 'Remove all potential risks!' mode.

He then bid farewell to his mother, left Evelynn in his study, and headed to Clara's room.

He knocked for her to open the door. A cute but cold voice echoed out at the same time, "Who?"

"Your brother!" He shouted back.

Hurried footsteps sounded out before the room opened, showing an exceptional cute face that turned into a dazzling smile after seeing the figure that stood in front.

Davis patted her head, "Dear sister, you will eventually collapse if you cultivate this hard!"

He knew that this naughty little 7-year-old sister of his was a handful. Either purely cultivating or increasing her knowledge in her free time.

"Hehe..." Clara smiled foolishly as she hugged his patting hands. She replied, "I must catch up to brother!"

"You haven't still given upon that? Sigh, you can try to catch up to me, but there's no need to push yourself, okay?" Davis knocked her head slightly.

"I know! I won't make the same mistake again!" She rubbed her head as if she felt her head hurt, but he knew it was just a cute act.

He then smiled warmly at her because he knew that she was acting adorable for him. As far as he knew, her personality had turned slightly quiet and cold after being cultivating alone all this while. Was this a natural character of the possessor of the Transcendent Truth Eyes? He didn't know but felt that it must've been the case.

"Come, I have a job for you, it's about your big brother Ernest..." He smiled and said.

Clara's expression turned complicated, "Big brother Ernest hmm... I've already met him."

"You've already met him?" An astonished expression on his face appeared on his face.

Clara nodded her head, "Yes, from father's request. He asked me to verify if Big Brother Ernest is his son or not."

"The way you're addressing him looks like he is really our big brother..." Davis had his vague doubts, but now it cleared away.

Clara continued, "Not only that but father asked me to verify if Big Brother Ernest has any scheme in store for us!"

"Woah! Surprisingly, he is cautious! Good!" Davis had a satisfied expression on his face. He then asked, "What was the result?"

"Father did the questioning, and I verified that he isn't plotting anything serious! He had only one plot, and that was to save his mother by forcing his way through our Royal Castle openly."

"How fortunate, if he had come with a plot to do something stupid, he would've died before I could even hear about him." He rolled his eyes as he sighed. There goes his unfounded suspicions down in the drain. He was truly glad he consulted Clara before going to meet him.

"Good girl! Your brother is leaving to enter that realm tomorrow. You should be a caring sister, treat your little sister Diana and little brother Edward well."

"Yes!" Came a bright reply, causing him to break out into a smile again.

He looked at her cute face and wondered that by the next time he saw her, she would've grown into a fine woman.

"Also, take care of your sister-in-law as well!"

Clara widened her eyes and harrumphed in displeasure, but nodded all the same.

"Hahaha. Alright then, brother has disturbed you, take care." Laughing wholeheartedly, he gave her a kiss on the cheek before leaving.

Clara watched his back as he left while her smiling face gradually turned cold before she uttered, "One day, I'll follow brother to that realm..." Her eyes emitted a faint discerning pressure that could cause one to break out in cold sweat.
