"Waa! Davis, you dummy….." Ellia pouted and made a crying face.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, I won't do it next time. So? Did anything happen?" Davis chuckled. He was not at all feeling sorry but enjoyed bullying her.
"Other than you scaring the life out of me, nothing important happened." Ellia glared.
"I see, keep up the good work." Davis patted her head.
Ellia evaded his gaze while still pouting.
"Right, practice those Battle Techniques now and also whenever you have the time."
"Hmm.."
…..
The following three days, Davis stayed at the Royal Castle to avoid suspicion during the day and went to the South Gate to spot Harman at night. Unfortunately, Harman still didn't come.
Davis guessed that he was probably on his way, so he wasn't impatient.
Today was the fourth day. He planned to visit Evelynn few days ago, so he sent word to the Cauldon Family two days ago.
This time, he was accompanied by Ellia and the same elite royal guards who accompanied him last time.
Davis arrived at the Cauldon Family Manor which he tried to infiltrate four days ago. His goal was to make contact with Evelynn and somehow tell her to meet him at night. He knew that he and Evelynn will not be able to talk to heart's content when surrounded by people, so he wanted her to meet him alone.
He got off the carriage only to be greeted by a whole crowd of people who shouted.
"We warmly welcome and pay our respects to the Prince!" The whole crowd bowed.
Davis was flabbergasted. He was again reminded that he was a person of high status.
"Raise your heads." Davis said with a calm face, he felt a little awkward but didn't let it show on his face.
"Such bearings…."
"Truly a son of heaven..."
"So cute..."
Various murmurs echoed around, but it only made Davis want to hide in a hole.
'I only just acted…' He thought ruefully.
"Welcome Prince Davis, my name is Henry Cauldon, an Elder of the family. Let me show you around the Cauldon Family Manor."
"Alright." Hands behind his back, holding his head straight, Davis replied.
He then followed Henry while Ellia and Renard followed him.
They arrived at a hall where many people were gathered. Many had looks of excitement while some were gazing at him calmly.
Davis didn't take heed to any of the reactions, he just sat down on a chair without greeting anybody here. Ellia and Renard stood behind him.
Some people narrowed their eyes, yet they couldn't possibly question the Prince, can they?
"Let me get to the point, I announced two days ago that I will personally visit Cauldon Family, but my purpose here was to meet Miss Evelynn. So, where is she?" Davis scanned around and adopted an arrogant young master attitude.
Hearing that, some people were overjoyed while some others frowned.
The people who were happy were all Elders. They thought that the Prince was finally smitten with the beauty of their Young Mistress. They were afraid since a year ago when the prince said it was fine for her to back out of the marriage, especially after a year passed with no news of the royal family saying anything about it. But, it now looked like there was no need to think like that.
All who frowned were young. They didn't seem to like the tone of the haughty prince. Even though their family were using Evelynn like a tradable item, she was still immensely beautiful. So some of them were obviously jealous about giving her to him as a concubine even though they don't have a chance to be with the Young Mistress of their family to begin with.
"Haha, the Prince is sure eager to meet our Young Mistress." A random elder shook his head.
"She will be here soon, no need to fret, Prince Davis" An old woman added, who was also an elder.
Davis nodded his head. He thought that he needed to look forceful and arrogant, otherwise people wouldn't seriously consider his words, especially looking at his age.
A group of people suddenly clamored. Everyone turned around their head to see a beautiful women walking towards them followed by a maidservant.
Davis's jaw almost dropped. 'Damn! What a vixen!'
Evelynn looked like an enchantress with her seductive figure, she wore bright purple sleeveless cheongsam which accentuated her curves. Her cleavage was slightly visible as a triangular shaped cut was present in her dress. Her long green hair reached till her waist, and had her side hair tied up in a small bun behind her head.
Davis stood up and arrived in front of her to greet her.
"I hope you've been well, Miss Evelynn" He clasped his hands.
"Prince Davis is too caring, I've been well from the time you left after seeing me." Bowing her head slightly, Evelynn responded with an indifferent voice.
"Haha, I see." Davis chucked awkwardly.
'Hmm?The way she said it, there seems to be a hidden meaning behind it' He thought.
After that everyone took their seats on a dining table respectively.
Davis and Evelynn were seated opposite to each other on the same table. There was a huge feast prepared for everyone to munch on.
"Miss Evelynn, today I came here to see you especially." Seeing that it was silent, he started the conversation.
"See me? You flatter me Prince Davis." She replied indifferently.
"Yes, truth be told. I thought of you many times after that day we last met." Davis told the truth as he did think about her from time to time.
'Those peaks *cough*, that beautiful face and her seductive voice….'
"Haha, the prince sure can joke around." Evelynn rolled her eyes as she said indifferently.
Davis made a wry face. His probing was done. He now knew that he somehow made this woman angry. Time passed as these two finished eating in this awkward atmosphere. No one disturbed them but they were just listening to their conversation silently.
'Eh..? Even an idiot can tell that she is angry with something. Did I offend her? When did I do that?' Davis thought ruefully.
