Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Chapter 35: Miss Fiancée

The young lady was a staff member of the illustrious Cauldon Pill Store.

She held her head high up, looking down on other people with ordinary standing. However, she dared not to pull her weight around the prince of the Empire or the Manager.

Both were people who she couldn't afford to offend.

She hurriedly ran and stood in front of a door.

"Young Mistress, the Young Crown Prince, is here, the manager has called you to go greet him." She anxiously shouted.

After a moment of silence, a clear yet naive voice could be heard.

"You can go now. Our Young Mistress will be ready in a moment."

"Yes!" The young lady quickly left, thinking that she had relayed and finished her task. Right now, she was more interested in looking at the young prince rather than to wait!

======

Inside that room.

"Miss, the young prince is here it seems…" A young lady dressed in a maid outfit repeated. This clearly explained that she served under this so-called Young Mistress.

"The Prince? Isn't he only eight years old? What is he doing here, Maisy?" Another young lady around eighteen years old questioned with a surprised tone.

She appeared a hundred and sixty centimeters tall, her eyes sharp and inky as black. Her nose seemed to be small, with her lips upturned in a smile. Her lush green hair reached till her waist while she had her side hair tied up in a bun behind her head.

Her twin peaks were plentiful while her buttocks were perky. She wore a black cheongsam with red stripes over its edges, and this absolutely made her look quite mature for her age because her bosoms were almost swelling.

"Perhaps the young prince could no longer wait to meet his fiancée, hehe." Maisy joked as she giggled.

"Haha, he is only eight years old, surely he isn't here for me." The young lady said in a joking tone and shook her head wryly, "Even if he was here for me, I am merely designated to be his concubine. My fate is sealed for all we know…"

"Maybe Miss should just escape from this place and go somewhere else…" Maisy understood her mistress's plight, so she couldn't help but support her.

"Go where Maisy? If I escaped, then I would be a sinner of the Cauldon Family. Let's go see him, but there would not be much to expect from an eight-year-old boy, nor would there be much harm."

The young lady smiled a little before she regained her bearings. She stood up and left the room with Maisy.

"Look at this, Prince. These are all our topmost pills. This is a Peak-Level Earth Grade Three Revolutions Pill. It helps one break through the Silver Stage and the chances……"

George kept explaining all the top tier pills they had in stock, Davis was listening to him patiently while taking in the new-found knowledge.

Learning all of this, he suddenly had some interest in Alchemy.

'How good would it be if I can make these by myself?' Davis sighed.

He became slightly determined to get a good teacher for his alchemy training. All this war and its after-effects had caused the Loret Empire to be unstable.

Without the rumored senior's fake presence, the Loret Empire could have suffered another calamity. So with this situation over their head, Davis's parents didn't invite any outsiders over.

Faint footsteps could be heard to his side. He turned his head to see a beautiful woman walk into the hall while being accompanied by a maid.

The moment he set his eyes upon that lithe figure of hers, his eyes lit up in appreciation.

She walked with an elegance that couldn't be found in any ordinary woman. Her eyes were a bit lazy yet beautiful as well as sexy in a mature sense.

If there was a bulb over his head, it would have lit up bright by now!

"Haha, your highness, let me introduce her, she is our family's Young Mistress, Evelynn Cauldon." George Cauldon laughed as he introduced.

"What a beautiful name…" Davis absentmindedly commented while watching her advancing towards him. He couldn't take his eyes off her as he became truly captivated by her charm.

"Wait! What? Your family's Young Mistress?" Davis's eyes were wide open as he recognized the name.

"Yes, she is your fiancée, Prince Davis." George Cauldon nodded proudly while taking in his reaction.

'That woman is my fiancée?' Davis looked at her again and lost his composure. He suddenly felt that his mother did an excellent job by tying him in a marriage with this woman.

She was totally his type!

Evelynn came forward and introduced herself as she bowed lightly.

"A pleasant day to you, your highness. My name is Evelynn Cauldon."

Davis gulped as even her voice sounded a little coquettish capable of melting his sanity.

'Fuck! Is she a succubus?'

"A pleasant day to you too, Miss Evelynn." Davis clasped his hand and greeted her as well. He impulsively felt like he should leave a good impression on her, the same time as he felt with Empress Isabella.

When compared, although Evelynn Cauldon lacked in terms of beauty, she possessed a charming expression as well as a voluptuous body.

"I am heartened to see you, Prince Davis. By any chance, did you come here to visit me?" Evelynn directly probed, wanting to know why he came here.

Davis contemplated a moment before answering. Forget about first impressions. If he lied, then he would have to make a river of lies again to follow up. Besides, he didn't want to live a life of a lie, especially with his wife-to-be in the future.

"Ah… The truth is that I had no idea that you were here, Miss Evelynn. This is the first day I have been out of the Imperial Castle, and I was just roaming around in the Royal Carriage while I caught the sight of your Cauldon Emporium. I wished to check things out as I heard about the reputation of the Cauldon Emporium, so I came inside to sightsee."

"I honestly didn't expect to see Miss Evelynn in this place as I thought that you would be likely in the Cauldon Family Mansion. It is pretty much my luck to see your beautiful self here."

Davis, who looked like a teenage kid because of his Body Tempering Cultivation hastening his growth, kept his bearings and answered truthfully while also trying to flirt with her. At this moment, he also inwardly cursed why he didn't have a grown body.

However, the plain sight of him trying to compliment her was pretty comical to Evelynn.

She giggled as a faint interest sprouted in her heart, "Evelynn thanks your highness for this compliment."

Evelynn felt curious about this person and now somewhat had a good impression of him.

If this was her fate, then she was determined to make a person like him care for her. If not, then she thought of backing out before it was too late.

Presently, Davis was feeling not sure about canceling this engagement. The moment he laid his eyes on her, he was more or less mesmerized, and he absolutely realized that he had taken a liking to her. Even though his current feeling may not be love, but rather an attraction, he hoped that he could develop feelings with her.

He sure did take a liking to her at first glance but didn't want to force her either.

"Miss Evelynn, by any chance, are you against this engagement? If you are, then I can ask my Imperial Father, the Emperor, to cancel the engagement."

This time, even Evelynn and the other people's eyes shot wide open.

She very much wanted to decline this engagement when she first heard about it, but as a member of the family, she had little say in her marriage unless she showed a talent that a genius should possess.

Age was of little concern in this world.

In the Loret Empire, after one turned sixteen, it didn't matter if he or she married a two-hundred-year-old character.

Davis was just eight years old, but the marriage will only be held after he turned sixteen, and until then, she would have plenty of time to decide and even nurture some feelings.

Actually, Evelynn already had thoughts about how this fiance of hers would turn out to be from the time she learned about her engagement.

After directly meeting him in person right now, she possessed a good impression of him. He did not appear to be arrogant, nor did he force her to do something humiliating to put her in her place. She heard that the prince was the only one in line to the Throne of the Loret Empire. Hence, it was common knowledge among people that his arrogance might've reached the heavens.

There were even rumors that he would only talk with people by looking at the skies, directing his contempt for them. Now, she could see that rumors were indeed rumors. There wasn't a hint of truth in it or at least, in this case.

Although she could sense his gaze that was intently viewing her as if it were examining, she felt that it was only innocent. It was normal for a boy to be startled when seeing her. After all, she was aware that she possessed immense racks that gave her some headaches whenever she stepped out of her mansion.

Nevertheless, she was now a little hesitant about whether to drop this engagement or not. On the other hand, it's not like she had a choice anyway.

"This… Prince… shouldn't say it like this, the engagement has already been s…"

Davis glared at George Cauldon, and that shut him up from saying any more bullsh*t.

"As you know, I have again been engaged to the thirty-sixth princess of the Ashton Empire. This means that you are fated to be a concubine of mine even if you marry me. I know that you are indignant about this, and anyone would be. Hence, I want you to make a choice." Davis elaborated on his thoughts.

He did so while looking innocent and scholarly so that he didn't appear to be immensely out of character for an eight-year-old.
