Chapter 43: Chance?

Davis couldn't get angry from little Clara's shouting because it just seemed totally cute and reasonable. Well, he couldn't blame her as he understood she just accompanied her mother as she toured around the Imperial Capital, probably looking down on the commoners loftily.

'Sigh… Looks like I have a lot to teach her in the future…' 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

"Clara!"

He shouted to get her attention.

"How are you going to explain yourself, brother?" Clara asked with an exasperated expression on her face, feeling that she was right.

"You say that royalty shouldn't make friends with a maid? Then what do you think royalty is?" Davis calmly asked.

"I- Don't question me back… I know I'm in the right…"

Clara frowned, a sense of unease filling her heart, 'Could it be that I am in the wrong?'

The way her brother said it made her feel that way.

"Just answer!" Davis frowned as he glared her into submission. 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶

"Uh… Royalty is of high blood and immense power. Commoners and even nobles are way below us in status and power…"

Clara softly replied as she never saw this side of her brother before. She slightly became anxious.

"Hmm, then do you think of yourself to be higher and more arrogant than any other person without possessing our kind of status?"

She stayed silent before nodding her head meekly.

"Then let me teach you a lesson…" Davis shook his head.

Clara took everything literally to the book, so there was no blaming her unless someone explained it to her.

"You feel that it is beneath your dignity to make a friend of lower status?"

She nodded her head again.

*Sigh*

"Clara, what if I say that there are more than a billion people who are way stronger than us, have a more powerful bloodline than us, but are still counted as commoners…"

"What!?" This time, both Clara and Ellia were astonished.

"How do you know that, brother?" Clara shook her head, not believing it, but her eyes said the impossible was true.

He paused before thinking, 'There's no way I can say that this is the normal template of a Xianxia Novel, can I?'

"There's always a person above a person, a peak above a peak, heaven above heaven," Davis replied profoundly.

"Our continent is sealed as far as we know. So even though we have many resources, it is probably the same as trash in the outside world…"

Ellia and Clara made an 'O' shape with their mouth, symbolizing that they were dumbfounded to the extreme.

"So Clara, do you still feel yourself to be of royalty? Even after knowing that there are billions of common cultivators out there who are stronger than us in this uncharted world?" Davis looked at her with a sharp gaze.

Clara shook her head hurriedly.

"So, what do you think are the criteria for choosing a friend?"

"If the compatibility between us is higher, then we can be friends."

"You remember what I taught in the past, very good. Then Ellia and I have good compatibility. Do you now think that we can be friends even though I am of royalty and she is of commoner status…"

Clara looked at Ellia before moving her gaze to her brother. She then nodded her head.

Ellia became inwardly astonished. She concluded that Davis had somehow managed to brainwash his little sister.

"Perfect! Then you can be friends with Ellia too!"

"Huh? Friends?" Clara curiously asked as she thought, 'My very first friend?'

"Yes, we can be friends with her, and we'll both have the same first friend!" Davis shouted happily, trying to trick her into being friends with Ellia like a kid.

As far as he knew, being cheerful worked against Clara.

'Wait a minute, somehow this feels different. I feel like I'm tricking a kid in some other way! I'm no lolicon!' Davis shouted in his mind.

'Same first friend!' Clara's eyes glowed.

She returned to her cool self and said as if it was a matter of fact, "Let us be friends, Ellia."

Ellia had a helpless expression on her face as she looked at Davis for help. Davis just winked and imperceptibly nodded his head.

Ellia comprehended the meaning and sighed.

"Erm…Yes, Clara…" Ellia reluctantly smiled.

"How dare you say my name!?"

'Not again!'

Davis facepalmed while Ellia froze like a statue.

======

Somehow Davis managed to explain the stuff between friends. It took a whole lot of time to finally make them friends.

Night finally arrived. He became tired and decided to return to his room, which was none other than the Study.

After a few minutes…

"Davis!"

Claire's voice could be heard outside the room.

"Mother? Come on in!"

Claire opened the door and stepped inside as she ran her fingers through her glistening blonde hair.

"What is it, mother? Are you finally here to console me?" Davis raised his brows once he remembered how she let him get beaten.

*Sigh~*

Claire sighed, "I am indeed sorry for letting him beat you. Nevertheless, you still deserved it!"

'Waah!'

Davis got his heart pierced by a spear.

"Though that isn't the reason I am here."

"Hmph, I'm not listening anymore…" Davis pouted as he turned his head away, acting spoiled.

Claire ruefully shook her head, "Alright, alright, your mother is truly sorry! I apologize, okay?"

She squeezed his face and kissed him on the cheeks.

Davis smiled and shook his head, "… I'll listen…"

Claire smiled back, "Your father is going out of the Royal Capital for some business in a few days. I heard it was for the crowning of a new King in the Alfred Kingdom."

"Normally, an Emperor doesn't have to go out for a mere Kingdom, but since it was under our jurisdiction and we let them down during the war, he has to show them at least some sincerity."

"I see… how many days will our father be gone?"

"For all I know, it might range from a month to three." Claire shrugged.

'This! This might be the perfect chance for me to sneak out of the Royal Castle!' Davis thought excitedly, but he had a calm expression on the surface.

"Mhm…" He nodded his head.

"Anything else?" Davis added.

Claire thought a moment before replying.

"Thanks to you, everything is now fine between Clara and us. Honestly, I didn't expect the problem was that…" She paused and realized what she was about to say.

"I know, mother, I know. I'm not ready to receive another beating!" Davis exclaimed and hurriedly shook his hand.

"Scoundrel!" Claire blushed as she shouted and walked away as if she ran away from the room.

'Mother becomes embarrassed so easily.' Davis laughed as he looked in a direction. It was a good thing that Ellia was in the bath. Otherwise, she might have noticed how easygoing he is with his mother.

======

For the next few days, Davis used this chance to break through to the next level in Soul Forging Cultivation, and without failing a single time, he luckily reached Peak-Level Infant Soul Stage.

Other than that, he looked for a Disguise Art in the Royal Library.

He managed to find one after a long period of search.

It was a Peak-Level Earth Grade Disguise Technique, which pretty much conceals his appearance and physique. He didn't want anyone to know who he was in the first place.

His actions were pretty strange these few days. He checked left and right almost every minute.

Luckily, no one saw him acting suspiciously during these few days.

Davis somehow managed to convince Ellia to follow up. She had no choice but to reluctantly agree. He gave her instructions on how to make it look like he was always sleeping during the night. He planned to sneak out every night and roam openly during the day.

He then, with his family, sent off Logan to the Alfred Kingdom on the final day.
