Divine Emperor of Death
CH 116
Claire had a disgusted expression on her face,
”Oh…
An act huh? You
’re just making me dislike you more and more!
”
Evelynn ’s determination and will, lessened, ”My Empress, I… ”
”Insolent! You dare to talk back!? ” Claire made an enraged face as she shouted at her while she stood up.
Narrowing her eyes, she sat back and continued,
”Fine, let
’s have it your way.
Firstly, I heard that you didn
’t want this marriage in the first place.
Secondly, you seduced my son and had him at your beck and call.
Thirdly, you even managed to make him head over heels for you that he even divulged the secrets of the Revolving Core Stage! Finally, you even dare to come here and meet us without fear? What gall! You
’re truly a vixen who lusts after glory and power!
”
Evelynn felt aggrieved at the accusation, ”No! I… ”
”What? You thought that I didn ’t know all this? Do you realise your mistakes? This blunder of yours is punishable by death! ”
Evelynn shed tears as she thought back to the first time she and Davis met.
She didn
’t want this marriage, but he fell for her.
She couldn
’t help but admit that she involuntarily seduced him with her charm.
”Since you don
’t want this marriage and we can
’t go back on our word, you will tell your father that you have no interest and will obediently back out.
If you do that, I will allow you to live and marry the second prince when he grows up.
What do you say?
” As if granting her amnesty, Claire spoke up and harshly questioned her with a scrutinizing gaze.
Evelynn froze, her eyes glared at the Empress with some hostility as something suddenly broke in her mind,
”I
’d rather kill myself then obey your tainted words!
”
”What? You dare to disrespect us? ” Claire stood up with a ferocious expression on her face.
Evelynn chucked slightly and sneered, ”Since I know that I ’m going to die, what do I have to fear? ”
”You! ” Claire made a disgruntled face but was secretly happy with Evelynn ’s performance so far.
Normally, a woman who had wished for power would have settled with her proposal after being threatened with death, but with Evelynn, Claire could see her resolve to be with Davis.
”This is why! This is why I didn
’t wish to be married to the Royal Family.
You are all full of yourselves that you even dare propose me to marry the second prince when I wholeheartedly love Davis! What assurance do I have that you people will not harm my child when I have one!?
”
Claire raised her brows in astonishment, ’She really thought ahead of her future. ’ After that, she turned her head towards Logan as if asking what kind of family did he have?
Logan smiled wryly and raised his palm a little, indicating that she had gone too far and should stop testing her right now.
Claire pouted as she felt bad, but she wanted to make sure that she was the right woman for her son.
She sighed a little and questioned, ”Do you truly love him? Without any deceit and schemes? ”
”I love him with all my heart and no matter what, you people can ’t change that! ” Evelynn replied, her tone was forceful which indicated that even if they tortured her, she wouldn ’t change her thoughts.
Suddenly a voice laughed as if clearing the tension in the throne hall away, ”Hahaha, she passed the test, right? ” It was Logan, who was silent all this time.
”Fortunately, yes.
If she didn
’t, then I would have killed her myself!
” Claire let out a huge sigh and smiled warmly at her.
Evelynn stood there dumbfounded by the turn of events, her mind rapidly worked to understand the current situation, ’Test? She passed the test? Killed if she didn ’t pass? ’
She finally realised what she had been put through and muttered in a bewildered tone, ”I was being tested!? ”
I can now see why my son chose you!
”
Having been reminded of Davis, Evelynn thought back to what he said before coming in.
[
”Haha, it will be fine.
My Mom, the Empress has already decided on you.
Just make sure you don
’t make her angry for some reason.
”
”Hmm, I ’ll do as you say. ” ]
Her face turned red from embarrassment as she remembered his advice.
She knew that she was going to be tested but,
’Isn
’t this way too much?
’
She thought as she bit her lips, her grievance from the accusation wasn ’t small after all.
Claire got up from her seat and flew to her,
”Alright, alright, I
’m sorry to have made you go through with this but your actions clearly do not conform with your thoughts.
I still do not understand how much you love him, nor do I know what made you love him.
That
’s why I had no choice but to test you harshly.
”
Hearing that, Evelynn wryly smiled, ”It ’s your son ’s fault for confusing my feelings. ”
Isn
’t he quite unique?
” Claire asked proudly.
Evelynn smiled but didn
’t reply.
Her smile had a certain glow to it that said that he was quite unique to her.
Regaining her bearings, she hurriedly said, ”I apologise for being rude to you, my Empress. ”
Claire suddenly felt even worse to have had her made go through this ordeal,
”It
’s fine, it was my fault for being rude in the first place.
Don
’t be so distant, come on, quickly call me mother-in-law!
”
Caught off-guard, Evelynn stuttered as she quickly uttered,
”M..
Mother-in-law!
”
Claire hurriedly hugged her, ”Good! Quickly greet your father-in-law! ”
”Father-in-law… ” Evelynn called out while hugging Claire.
Logan nodded at her acknowledgement and felt satisfied as well, but his face was solemn,
”I hope you really forgive your mother-in-law as she had experienced too many betrayals in her short lifetime.
That
’s why she wanted to make sure that her son
’s bride will be loyal to him.
”
Hearing that the Empress has suffered from betrayals, she couldn
’t help but take a look at Claire
’s face one more time,
”I…
I understand.
I won
’t take any offence, neither will I hold much resentment against you.
Furthermore, I apologise for sticking my nose into the Revolving Core Stage
’s secret.
