Davis couldn't get angry from her shouting, because it just seemed totally cute and reasonable.
Well, he couldn't blame her as she just accompanied her mother as she toured around the Royal Capital loftily, probably looking down on the commoners.
'*Sigh* Looks like I have a lot to teach her in the future.'
"Clara!" He shouted to get her attention.
"How are you going to explain yourself brother?"Clara asked with an angry face.
"You say that a royalty shouldn't make friends with a maid? Then what do you think royalty is?" Davis calmly asked.
"Don't question me back." Clara frowned.
"Just answer!" Davis glared at her into submission.
"Uh… Royalty are of high blood and immense power, commoners and nobles are way below us in status and power." Clara softly replied. She never saw this side of her brother before.
"Hmm, so you think of yourself to be high and arrogant than any other person without our kind of status?"
She stayed silent before nodding her head meekly.
"Then let me teach you a lesson." Davis nodded his head.
"You feel that it is beneath your dignity to make a friend of lower status?"
She nodded her head again.
"*Sigh* Clara, what if I say that there are more than a billion people who are way stronger than us, have a powerful bloodline than us, but are still counted as commoners."
"What!?" This time, both Clara and Ellia were astonished.
"How do you know that brother?"
He paused before thinking. 'There's no way I can say that this is the normal template of a Xianxia Novel, can I?'
"There's always a person above a person, an heaven above an heaven." Davis replied profoundly.
"Our continent is sealed as far as we know. So even though we have much resources, it is the same as trash in the outside world."
Ellia and Clara made an 'O' shape with their mouth indicating that they were really dumbfounded.
"So Clara, do you still feel yourself to be of royalty? Even after knowing that there are billions of common cultivators who are stronger than us?" Davis looked at her with a sharp gaze.
Clara shook her head hurriedly.
"So what do you think is the criteria of choosing a friend?"
"If the compatibility between us is higher, then we can be friends."
"You remember what I thought, very good. Then Ellia and I have a good compatibility, do you now think that we can be friends even though I am of royalty and she is of a common status."
Clara looked at Ellia and Davis. She then nodded her head.
Ellia was astonished, she thought that he somehow managed to brainwash her.
"Perfect! Then you can be friends with Ellia too!"
"Huh? Friends? My very first friend?" Clara asked curiously.
"Yes, be friends with her and we'll have the same first friend we had made!" Davis shouted happily.
'Same first friend!' Clara's eyes glowed. She returned to her cool self and asked.
"Let us be friends, Ellia."
'Wait a minute, somehow this feels different. I feel like I'm tricking a kid! I'm no Lolicon!' Davis shouted in his mind.
Ellia had a helpless expression on her face. She looked at Davis for help.
Davis just winked and nodded his head.
Ellia got the meaning and sighed.
"Erm…Yes, Clara" Ellia reluctantly smiled.
"How dare you say my name!?"
Davis facepalmed while Ellia froze again.
'Not again!'
....
Somehow Davis managed to explain the stuff between friends, it took a whole lot of time to finally make them friends. It was finally night.
He got tired and decided to return to his room.
After a few minutes.
"Davis!"
Claire's voice could be heard outside the room.
"Mom? Come in mom!"
Claire opened the door and came inside.
"What is it mom? Are you finally here to comfort me?"
"*Sigh* I am indeed sorry for letting him beat you but you deserved it!"
"Waah!" Davis got his heart pierced by a spear.
"Though that isn't really the reason I am here."
"Hmph, I'm not listening anymore." Davis pouted.
"Alright, alright, mom is really sorry! Very much sorry!" She embraced and kissed him in the cheeks.
Davis smiled. "Now, I'll listen,"
"Your father is going out of the Royal Capital for some work in a few days. I heard it was for the crowning of a new King in the Alfred Kingdom."
"Normally, an Emperor doesn't have to go out for a mere Kingdom, but since it was under our jurisdiction and we let them down during the war, he has to show them at least some sincerity."
"I see… how many days will father be out?"
"It might range from a month to 3 months for all I know." Claire shrugged.
'This! This might be the perfect chance for me to sneak out of the Royal Castle!' Davis thought excitedly but he had a calm face outside.
"Hmm.." He nodded his head.
"Anything else?" Davis added.
She thought a moment before replying.
"Thanks to you, everything is now fine between us and Clara. Honestly I didn't expect the problem was that…." She paused and realised what she was about to say.
"I know mom, I know, I'm not ready to take another beating!" Davis exclaimed and hurriedly shook his hand.
"Scoundrel!" Claire blushed, she shouted and ran away from Davis.
'She gets embarrassed so easily.' Davis laughed.
Good thing that Ellia was in the bath.
...
For the next few days, he used this chance to breakthrough to the next level in Soul Cultivation. He luckily achieved Peak Level Infant Soul Stage.
Davis looked for a Disguise Art in the Library. He successfully found one. It was a Peak Earth Grade Disguise Technique, which pretty much conceals his appearance and physique.
He didn't want anyone to know who he was in the first place.
His actions were pretty weird these few days, he checked left and right almost every minute.
Luckily, no one saw him acting suspiciously during these few days.
Davis somehow managed to convince Ellia to follow up. She had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
He gave her instructions on how to make it look like that he was always sleeping during the night. He planned to sneak out every night and roam openly during the day.
He then with his family, sent off Logan on the final day.
