Chapter 95: Unique Woman Clad In Fiery Red Robes

The atmosphere turned incredibly jubilant as people recounted the tales of the revered senior in a respectful manner. The two corpses in the pool of blood remained abandoned as no one cared. Some thought that these two deserved it, while the others stayed silent as their strength was inadequate.

Some of them who gritted their teeth and stayed silent were the descendants of Emperor Tritor and Emperor Raven. They didn't dare to lash out and could only watch with bottled-up hatred which they didn't dare to unleash. They didn't even possess the courage to speak up for their emperors' demise.

The final competition was totally forgotten as many took this chance to be acquainted with Davis.

David received many greetings and best wishes from random strangers but still managed to reply politely, as far as he could.

Some of them even tried to offer their daughters to him. Funnily, Emperor Ross was one of them.

David awkwardly denied every good deal that came his way. Even he felt frustrated by declining the extravagant life that he was assured upon.

'What a waste.' Such were his thoughts, but he knew better.

…

In the distance, Evelynn looked at the figure that was surrounded by an innumerable number of people.

She smiled as if she was mocking herself.

"Hey Kent, does that person look like someone I can match up to?" Evelynn asked in a weird tone.

"…"

There was only silence in that place as no reply could be heard from Kent Cauldon. He was standing beside her and had a complex look on his face.

Evelynn bit her lips, 'Isn't this cruel? Why did father have to engage me with someone like him?'

As she was in the distance, all she could see was that Davis was surrounded by people and most of them were women.

She could see them looking at Davis with sparkling eyes.

She walked forward, heading to the place where Davis was.

"Is she going…?" Zara asked in a pitiful manner.

Kent replied, "Obviously, the pressure on her must be unimaginably high."

…

Just as Davis finished declining a person's 'goodwill', a bold voice sounded out beside him.

"Prince Davis!"

David turned to look at the source of the voice, "Princess Shirley, what can I do for you?"

There was a slight hesitation that was visible on her face. Davis noticed that and thought, 'Is she also going to chalk up to me?'

She sighed for a moment, then said, "I now realise my wrongs. I was mistaken to berate your maid when I said that she wasn't worthy of you, indirectly."

Hearing that, Davis laughed in his mind but replied as he wanted to know her sudden change of mind, "What makes you say that?"

He then saw her twirling her bangs in frustration.

"What makes me say that you say? Its because I realised that I am also not worthy of you. Therefore, you can annul the marriage with me!"

"What?" Emperor Ashton shouted in fury as well as confusion.

Davis was stunned, he stood there looking at Shirley, not understanding her thought process. She was declining a marriage with him just when everyone was impatient to betroth their daughters to him?

Evelynn, who just neared them, stood stunned as she mocked herself, 'Even she doesn't think that she's worthy of him.'

"What do you mean!? What and who made you decide this!?" Emperor Ashton shouted, he felt miserable. All that hard work he pulled off was being ruined by his own daughter.

Shirley revealed her thoughts, "Royal Father, it was solely I who decided this matter. Initially, I thought that he wasn't far away from me in terms of cultivation, and it was true. But now that I know that his master is a truly powerful figure, won't I drag him down if he were to marry me? Won't he journey to the world where his master came from?"

Emperor Ashton narrowed his eyes, "That is the case if he only loved you! What makes you think that he will stay with you? Why are you thinking so far ahead? Just listen to your royal father!"

"See, even you, royal father, thinks that he won't live with me. Therefore, it is foolish for me to be with him. I'd rather marry a man who loves me, not just marry me and leave me to rot!" Shirley argued back.

"Who knows? Maybe he will truly love you and leave a child with you!" Emperor Aston's tongue slipped in fury.

Shirley was angered, "Look! You just care about power! While I care about how I live my life! Marrying a powerful person doesn't equal a happy life. Hmph! I know plenty of cases in our family who aren't happy with their lives!"

"Shut up, you have no say in this!" Emperor Ashton narrowed his eyes as he pressured Shirley with his aura.

Shirley glared at her father with incomparable determination as if she wouldn't yield.

Davis' eyes twitched as he saw these two father and daughter quarrel with each other.

'Leave a child with her? Do they think that I'm a breeding horse?' He clenched his fists as he smiled.

But he sighed, 'Leave it, what she says aligns with my thoughts too. I too wouldn't want to live with someone who wouldn't love me either.'

"Princess Shirley, I respect your decision. If that is the case, then let this marriage be annulled!" Davis declared in a bold tone as if his opinion was the final verdict.

"Yes!!!" Shirley screamed in ecstasy. It wasn't that she didn't want to marry him, but she felt no love for him in the first place. She had her own dreams and felt that by marrying him, she wouldn't be able to enjoy her life.

"Noo!!! You can't do that! Elders have the final say in your marriage!" Emperor Ashton didn't want to give up. He looked at Logan for help.

Logan shrugged, "I already told you, he has full authority on how he lives. This matter is for him to decide. I have no say in this. Maybe you should try talking to his master who had been not keen on interfering with Davis's personal life so far."

Hearing that, Emperor Ashton's face paled.

"Emperor Ashton, it isn't good for you to force us into a relationship with each other. Let nature take its course. Our Loret Empire will definitely be an ally of the Ashton Empire." Davis comforted the tired man as he felt pity for him.

'To be wrecked by his own daughter, how much anguish is he in?' Davis thought as he shook his head.

But he later grinned as he thought, 'She is unquestionably unique.'
