Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 666 The Bride Is Decided



Davis narrowed his eyes as he heard her speak.

How can he explain to her that desire and attraction were the basis of love? Without them, there isn't any love to be spoken off in the first place.

But he wasn't even given a chance to speak for himself.

"I see..."

Davis wryly smiled with a hint of sadness.

"I thought we mutually liked each other but if this your stance..." He shook his head, "Then I won't force you..."

Evelynn had her expression blank, however, her eyes were wide open, staring at Princess Isabella with a reproachful glare. She could even feel the sadness in his tone and as far as she was concerned, she had never made him feel sad!

She didn't feel good having her husband being reprimanded like this, especially by another woman!

Davis felt his heart become unusually heavy but what was the use of convincing an unwilling woman? He felt that he should rather be done with this stupid love that he thought had sprouted in each other's heart.

But now, it looks like it was just his misunderstanding.

He felt that he had misinterpreted her avoiding gaze now as well as in the past. For all he knew, she could've even not liked to see his face.

With how he currently felt, he didn't even bother to check by invoking Karma Laws to check her Karma Thread.

Instead, he shot a look at this mother again, "Mother, didn't I say that I will hold a second marriage?"

Claire couldn't help but subconsciously nod her head with a blank expression on her face.

There was a sudden announcement of marriage from Davis before Princess Isabella interrupted and said that their relationship isn't going to happen.

All this happening within a few seconds left her a little dumbfounded. Even Logan blinked, wondering how the situation could go awry in the time frame where he wouldn't even finish taking a piss in the restroom.

Davis calmly spoke while looking at his mother.

"The bride is decided."

Everyone became stunned, including Princess Isabella.

Her expression changed and just before she could open her mouth, wanting to berate Davis again for his persistence, she heard something else entirely different.

"It's Agis Stirlander's first granddaughter who also turned out to be the same woman whom I lived with in the Royal Xuan City under the same residence when I first entered the Tripartite Alliance Territory, remember? Her name is Natalya..."

"... Yes?... Yes! Yes! I remember... Natalya..." Claire instantly spoke while looking at her son.

Somehow, she was sensing these scary vibes that made her feel uncomfortable.

"Good, I'll be marrying her within two months or so, so I don't want you all to be ill-informed."

Davis spoke and waited for his mother's reply without looking at the others for input. He didn't even glance at Princess Isabella.

"I see..." Claire hesitantly uttered, not knowing what to say at this time. This information came as a shock to her. She glanced to look at Evelynn but saw that there wasn't a big change in expression.

This told her that they had already talked about this before.

Davis nodded his head and turned back, "Let's go, Evelynn..."

Then without even waiting for Evelynn's input, he started to walk away.

The others also didn't stay, feeling the atmosphere turn awkward, they flew away.

However...

Evelynn did not move and stood her ground.

With a sharp gaze, she instead kept staring at Princess Isabella who still stood stunned. She kept staring at her for a few more seconds before her lips moved.

"You are no longer my idol..."

Evelynn turned back and started to walk away, following Davis.

Her words pulled Princess Isabella out of her reverie, however, the next words Evelynn echoed while leaving left her face to become pale.

"He shouldn't have helped you this time..."

Princess Isabella's body slightly trembled as her heart suddenly turned incredibly heavy. It was as if there were some bloodsucking creatures grabbing hold of her heart, making her feel pain.

'The Alstreim Family members were people I had attracted, yet I had the audacity to let him protect me... If...'

'If I didn't want to be protected by him, then why did I decide to trust him and leave things in his hand?'

Wasn't their relationship just one of cooperation, made of mutual trust? Then why did she feel like this?

Princess Isabella placed her hands towards her breast but she momentarily became confused, not able to comprehend what had occurred.

'Second marriage?'

'Natalya?'

'What...?'

At the start, Davis suddenly mentioned about a second marriage. She remembered panicking and after that, her thoughts on their matter came out of her mouth.

But...

Now, it looked like the supposed second marriage wasn't even about her, instead, it was a woman unknown to her, a woman known as Natalya.

She didn't know what to think but her heart inadvertently sank.

Looking at their silhouettes that had gone far, she knew that she had talked herself out from Davis's target of desire.

But for some reason, she didn't feel good at all, even more than acting shyly in front of him!

She was standing all alone and her lone figure seemed to melt into the scenery.

"Royal Father once said that the matters of the heart are difficult to comprehend and predict... Is this what he meant back then?" Princess Isabella mumbled as her eyes turned moist.

'If I don't want him, then why am I feeling like this when he said that he won't b-bother about me anymore...'

She didn't know anymore if she wanted him or not. It was such a conflicting feeling that left her mostly feeling that being together with him was not appropriate since he was already married.

However, the tears that almost welled up within her eyes said otherwise.

Furthermore, when she heard that he was being married to another woman, it made her think as if she lost all her chance.

Princess Isabella bit her lips as she tried to stop tears welling up in her eyes. She deeply hated this hollow feeling. It was as if there was was a void in her heart.

*Whoosh!~*

Abruptly, she shot towards a direction at full speed and raced past the buildings for a second and stopped.

Beside her were two people with at least one of them looking at her with narrowed eyes.

"What do you want?" Davis asked with a voice devoid of emotion.

He did not even bother to cast her a look as he had already sensed her arrival.

"Oh... If it's about our previous dealings, then there are no changes." Davis informed and continued to walk away.

"Why are you making me feel like this?" Princess Isabella suddenly echoed as her voice possessed a hint of trembling.

Davis turned to look back and narrowed his eyes, wondering what this woman was going on about.

Princess Isabella bit her lips, "Did I ask for you to confess at that time?"

"After making me feel confused about my future, you left me hanging there and didn't come back."

"Excuse me, but you were the one who told me to go out and secluded yourself in cultivation..." Davis retorted.

Princess Isabella became taken aback before she yelled, "If you truly had feelings for me, then you would have insisted!"

"Oh..." Davis coldly smiled, "I didn't think you were the type of woman who needed to be pursued until she feels satisfied at heart..."

Princess Isabella shook her head as she became pale, "No! I..."

"Isabella, you are an extremely strong-willed woman while I am a selfish and dominative man..." Davis quickly interrupted.

"In other words, when you made things clear just a while ago, I realized that we are simply not compatible..."

Davis gritted his teeth as he felt his heart sank and mood sour but since they had already come this far, he felt that it was better to make things clear as well!
