Laughing gently, Claire replied, "Haha, you don't have to apologise for it. I knew it was my son who decided to trust you and tell you about it. I also knew what kind of a person you are, after all, I've been keeping tabs on you for all this time."

"I'm being monitored?" Evelynn's smile froze when she heard that.

Claire laughed as she patted her shoulders, "Hahaha, you believed that? I was just kidding! Anyway, you don't have to look down on yourself anymore. Raise your self-esteem and become a worthy bride for my son!"

"I.. I'll try my best!" Evelynn nodded and felt awkward at the sudden change of events.

First, she was accused of seducing the Prince. Second, she was told that she was being tested. Third, they then told her that she passed and should work towards to being a genuine bride.

The whole change of events was too fast for her to process that she had no choice but to continue with the flow of events.

That said, she was happy with the results as she had managed to get her in-laws' acknowledgement.

Claire smiled at her reply and was suddenly reminded of a certain thing, "As an apology for my actions before, I'll tell you about something that even my son hasn't realised yet."

Evelynn showed interest at the mention of him, "Is it about me?"

Claire giggled at her curious face and replied, "It's not about you, but it's certainly related to your future."

Evelynn's face was one of confusion, "Related to my future?"

"You should be wary of that girl who is always with my son."

A silhouette appeared in her mind who always looked at her with an unexplainable gaze, "Ellia..."

Boom!!

Suddenly an explosion resounded out as it shook the whole Royal Castle.

Logan and Claire's expression turned heavy and their pupils dilated as they shuddered when they felt the wave of soul energy which brushed past them.

Evelynn fainted as she felt the soul energy brush past her, but was supported by Claire before she could collapse.

"What was that!?" Logan asked as he looked at a direction.

"Part of the Royal Castle has collapsed!" Claire's eyes widened as Logan flew over to that direction.

Logan hurriedly extended his soul sense to find out the powerful intruder while Claire rushed off in an incredible speed to her chambers, wanting to protect her children.

A few seconds passed before they arrived at their separate destinations.

Claire felt relieved on seeing Edward being safe but fainted. She quickly carried him and located Clara and Diana with her soul sense as she promptly headed to their direction without wasting a single second.

Logan half kneeled in front of the collapsed part of the Royal Castle, his eyes were narrowed and the soul pressure he was facing made him unable to stand up with his two feet.

He raised his face to look at the scene which he was unable to process with his knowledge....

A little girl strangled Davis with a single hand as he was lifted up into the air.

"Who are you!?" Davis shouted hoarsely as his neck was strangled.

"Me? You don't need to know that you lowly swine. All you need to know is that your fate ends here!"

Davis's eyes trembled as his face contorted in pain. He suddenly grinned with difficulty, "I want to see you dare kill me in the presence of my master!"

...

A few minutes earlier before Logan arrived at the scene.

"Honestly I don't know how to speak with her anymore. She couldn't make it any clear that she loves me. If I still don't realise that, then I'm freaking dense as a rock!

"Besides, how dare she runs away while we are talking and leaves me hanging there like a fool? Her courage has grown greatly since the time of the Grand Sea Continent Meet!"

Davis kept complaining incessantly at her actions, but at the same time, he had a faint smile on his face that said he couldn't still help but care about her.

He kept walking towards her assigned residence as he reminisced about their time together in these three years.

["So…Sorry, Master. I am called Ellia."

"Mi.. miss Ellia? Your lowly servant doesn't require that much of an honorific, my Prince."

"Anything but that! I'll accept any punishments, please punish this lowly one."]

"Sigh, that timid little girl grew up to be a tigress. When I first met her, she wasn't even able to form a proper sentence when she spoke in front of me. And now, I'm the one who is getting berated by her?" Laughing wryly, he continued to contemplate.

"This is certainly a quick growth which is quite impossible for a child. But the foundation for a person's personality gets established in their childhood. I guess it isn't a stretch to say that her change in personality is possible for her age group. Wait! Could it be that she had reached puberty and had her first period that it drove her mad?" Countless possibilities raced through his mind as he thought of the reason for her weird actions.

He finally reached in front of her residence and stood in front of the door.

"Sigh, let's just ask her by myself and be done with this mess." He muttered to himself as he knocked on the door, then shouted, "Ellia, I'm sorry if I have done anything wrong. Just open the door so we could discuss and come to an understanding!"

A few seconds passed before he tried to open the door after seeing that she didn't reply.

"It opened? She didn't lock the door?" He pushed the door and looked inside, "She's cultivating!?"

Confusion was visible on his face as he quickly went up to her.

Ellia sat in a lotus position as she cultivated. Her face was still stained with two lines of tears.

"Ellia! Ellllia! Ellliaaaa!" He tried calling her but she still didn't stop cultivating, "Holy smokes! Did she seal up her five senses? Is she that mad at me?" Davis scratched his head as he muttered wryly.

"Sigh, didn't I tell her to wait a little more until I can find some resources which will enable us to develop a first level core? Is this her way of getting revenge on me?" He worriedly asked himself as he felt bad for making her behave like this.
