A Fool's Request

After Davis exited the Inn, he headed straight to the Bright Star Royal Palace which was located somewhere near the Emperor's Royal Palace.

Davis knew the location of the Emperor's Royal Palace, so he didn't have a hard time locating the Bright Star Royal Palace.

Once he arrived before it, he noticed that it had strong security and formations.

He pondered over it if he should sneakily go inside or openly go inside.

'Hmm... Shirley sent me a letter secretly... that means that I have to come in secretly? Wait! What if she is plotting something? Then that means that I would have to go openly? Ahh! Screw it! Even if I am framed, I still have her letter, besides, they can't kill me even if they tried. What's there to fear if I get caught? Nothing!'

Deciding to head in sneakily, he bypassed the formations with his amateur knowledge of formations and stealth technique.

By the time he saw Shirley, she was talking to with a lovely figure, who wore tight-fitting red robes.

Davis looked at her and thought, 'Maybe I should wait for some time before she goes out. After all, Shirley wanted to speak secre...' His thought trailed off as he just noticed a ghastly silhouette hiding beside the bed.

'Holy Shit! I knew it! She was plotting something malicious!' He mentally exclaimed and looked at Shirley with a disappointed expression.

'Let's leave...'

Just when he thought of leaving with a dejected feeling in his heart, he heard the unknown woman shout angrily.

'Hmm?' Looking at the transpiring spectacle, his interest was piqued.

Suddenly, he saw Shirley collapse and grasp the table. His mouth turned into an 'O' shape as he kept watching their play.

'Could one actually go to this length to frame someone? I knew that she was playful, but not this twisted...'

His reasoning was not incorrect, because he speculated assuming that she was framing him.

As time passed, he started to feel that this was odd and felt this to be more and more real. Especially when that man called Gart revealed his sinister plot, he was all the more sure that what was happening was real. Still, he was a little sceptical of this tragic event.

Just when Gart got on the bed, Davis's eyes turned cold as he couldn't keep watching this scene anymore.

'Screw it! If it was really a plot to frame me, then screw my conscience too!' Davis decided and echoed out in an indifferent voice, "Let's stop right there, shall we?"

"Who!??" Gart looked like he had been spooked by a ghost. His eyes darted left and right but he managed to find nothing.

Bang!

Davis kicked his face without even holding back a bit.

Gart was sent flying like a kite that had its string cut. Blood sprayed like a fountain from his mouth as he flew and crashed beside a corner, rolling on the floor in an unsightly manner.

"Who?" This time, it was Felicia who questioned, her face was still cautious even though they had just been saved from the looks of it. She was on the ground, lying down as she stared at the black-robed figure who materialized out of thin air.

Davis removed his hood and looked at her.

"Crown Prince Davis!" Upon seeing the black-robed figure's face, Felicia shouted in incomparable joy.

"Prince Davis! Your Highness! I implore you to..." Before she could finish her plea, Davis stood in front of her and shoved a pill right through her mouth.

Gulp!

Suddenly, Felicia felt like she had fallen into an abyss, thinking that she had been fed an aphrodisiac as well, but as a few seconds passed by, she felt her strength return steadily in a swift manner.

She stood up and looked at him with gratitude, but also felt ashamed as she misunderstood him. At the same time, enormous guilt shrouded her heart as she glanced at Shirley who was consumed by lust.

"He fainted, probably has his neck broken. Then, take care. I'll leave." Davis uttered and just when he turned back to leave, his robe got grasped by a dainty hand.

"What?" Asked Davis as he turned to look back. He wanted none of this, especially as he had left Evelynn back at the Inn.

"Please..." Felicia faced down, her arm trembled as she held his robes.

"..." He could guess what she was going to say, but he had enough of his own speculations.

"Please... Sleep with her..." Her voice was meek enough that only a slight squeal could be heard from her.

"..." Davis stayed silent with a dumbfounded expression on his face. His speculation was spot on this time.

A few seconds passed before Felicia gathered her courage and shouted, "Please have intercourse with her!"

Silence reigned down in the place, it was as if the atmosphere froze.

"You're asking me to rape a woman who was once promised to me?" Davis asked coldly, he looked at her with indifferent eyes and continued.

"You betray your friend, realise your mistakes, then tell someone else to sleep with her?"

Felicia's heart shook as he heard his words. Her eyes glazed as her face turned incomparably sad. She collapsed as she held the end of his robes.

"Waahhhhhh!" Starting to sob in a wretched manner, she broke down.

Davis felt pity, but the only thing he couldn't find in his heart to forgive was a betrayal.

"I had no choice but to do it!!!" Felicia cried out in anguish as she touched her heart, "I was raped by my own brother, betrayed by my own sister! How would I feel!? Won't I feel abandoned? Aren't I allowed to take revenge!?"

"I fed a malicious aphrodisiac to my closest sister and also my best friend!" Banging her head on the ground, she went crazy as blood spurted from her forehead.

She suddenly stopped and looked at the ground as she maniacally smiled, "But the reality was different, my sister didn't betray me, it was I, the fool who betrayed her."

"Wait! Malicious Aphrodisiac you say!?" Davis asked as he shouted, "What is its name!?"
