Davis also nodded his head in agreement. When he concentrated his soul sense on the robe while he had worn it, he could feel Karma Laws radiating from it in a vague amount as if it was non-existent.

Suddenly, Claire's face turned pale as the yellow-colored robe reverted into the grey colored one.

"Mother!" Davis was shocked as he saw this mother's face going pale, "What happened?"

Claire instantly regained her bearings and shook her head, "It's fine. I just removed my connection with the robe formed with a little bit of my Blood Essence..."

"What? How can you casually use your blood essence!?" Davis angrily bellowed.

It's been said that a human could only use 70% of their body's blood essence before dying a natural death sooner than their preordained original lifespan.

Anymore would likely result in a quick death with the loss of vitality, although it varies from person to person in most cases.

Claire's little bit of blood essence she used would constitute of 5 to 10% of her blood essence, which meant that she had used 1/10th of her potential when speaking in a broad manner but since the connection was temporary and not used up fully, the blood essence used is not completely used up.

In other words, around 50% of the blood essence used would return back to the user as long as the user is near.

Claire replied wryly, "I wanted to check if the robe was a bogus or not... Besides, even without eating and heavenly resources, resting for a month will help me recover my blood essence..."

She then smiled, "Well, from what I read from the notes placed with these mystical robes, it seems that it measures the purity of the yang or yin in someone's body through their blood essence..."

"The Blood Essence has such use?" Davis turned astonished.

"Who knows? At least, I haven't heard anything like this since my life was hell in the Alstreim Family Territory... So, that's why I wanted to check, and that it seems it really does..."

Davis understood a bit.

'So that was where the little bit of Karma Laws came into play...'

"So if I wear it and use my blood essence, what color will it change into?" He curiously asked.

"Why don't you try it?" Claire raised her eyebrows at him.

'Oh? You're trying to see whether I lost my virginity or not, eh?' Davis inwardly mused as he got the robe from her.

He condensed his vitality into a single drop of blood on the tip of his index finger and slit open that point.

A drop of blood fell on the mystical grey robe and he felt a vague connection with it before it turned clear. He wore it and the grey robe slowly changed into a bright red color.

Claire's eyes froze as her expression turned into one of disbelief, "You still haven't made Evelynn your woman?"

Davis laughed as he saw the shock in her eyes, "I haven't..."

From her dumbfounded expression, he could see her disbelief but didn't blame her. After all, he and Evelynn had stayed in the same room for weeks!

Who would believe him if someone said that he didn't do the deed with her!?

They wouldn't even believe the person in question!

Claire gave off a chuckle and said, "Well, after seeing the results, I have no worries in letting you two use it on the day of the wedding ceremony."

"You two? You tested it in Evelynn as well?"

Claire shook her head, "I only decided to check this on me today. Where would I find the time to check her?"

"Then what's with your confident attitude?" Davis turned confused.

Claire smugly answered, "I believe in her character..."

Davis was both glad and sad at the same time.

Although it meant that Claire had faith in Evelynn, didn't this also mean that she didn't believe in his character?

Well, that couldn't be helped. After all, he had been away from her eyes for 6 years.

He was also an adolescent boy when he left, so, anything could have changed at that time.

======

Two days later, on the eve of the wedding ceremony.

When the skies lit up, people had already congregated in front of the Royal Castle, waiting for the main event to take place. The streets, inns, plazas were packed to the brim, especially near the Royal Castle where one couldn't even see a spot of empty space when seen from above.

The skies were changing and it was now the eve of dusk.

Melodious music resounded in the background played by numerous musicians invited by the Royal Family.

In a height of 200 meters above the ground, at the platform extending from the Royal Castle stood a widely decorated altar that had two thrones on the edge, visible to the eyes of the common people who were all gazing from below.

The platform is where royal ceremonies took place in the eyes of the public and the altar was where the main character of that event would be present.

Behind the Altar were currently an entourage of people standing, running, or helping around organizing the proceedings of the event.

Another platform at the height of a hundred meters is where the Royal Family used to announce its edicts and decrees.

This was how the Loret Family celebrated public events or events relating to the public.

The Master of Ceremonies stood there and loudly stretched his voice, telling that it was time for the groom to arrive at the Altar.

On the ceremony platform, Davis came onto the widely open ceremony platform and stepped up the stairs to arrive at the altar.

He was dressed in that mystical robe but it was currently grey in color, yet it didn't curb his handsomeness in the slightest and with a little bit of work done over his face to make him look dazzling, he looked charming as well.

Although the grey robe gave off a dull feeling it would change with him utilizing his blood essence to change the color.

Below the altar, to the left stood his father, who accompanied him till he made it to the altar.

For this event, he had also dressed grandly, wearing a purple-colored dragon embroidered robes.

They both looked at each other for a second and laughed deliberately.

Below the altar's right, no one was present, not until the master of ceremonies announced for the arrival of the bride.

And as the announcement ended, Evelynn slowly walked towards the altar from the right while being accompanied by Claire.

She also wore a grey colored robe but that still didn't stop her curves from being hidden.

Once Evelynn stepped up the stairs and came into his view, it was almost like time had been stopped for him as he stared at her countenance.

...From her modest manners to her slow yet blissful steps made him entranced, even forgetful enough to make him hold his breath for no reason.

She was just too beautiful!

He quickly came out of his rampaging emotions as if he had been cast a spell on, and took a deep breath.

He had the urge to smack her lips with his right now but calmed himself down. Even as a few seconds passed, he just couldn't take his eyes off her.

She was just that perfect with all that cosmetics applied to her face for this special occasion; a truly gorgeous bride.

Once Evelynn came and stood by his side, she put her head down and shyly glanced at him through the corner of her eyes.

Davis's heart was in flame as he glanced at her innocent yet naughty eyes.

Under the setting sun, her graceful neck was visible, her collar slightly undone revealing a pale white skin but not her cleavage.

Even though the silky mystical robe hid her figure, the interior clothes were exceptionally tight to her skin, accentuating her curves.

Her entire figure could bewitch the men below as if she was akin to a demonic enticement.

Davis inwardly sweated as he muttered, "Vixen..."

He didn't mean it badly but meant that it was hard to resist her charms, especially at this moment.

Evelynn heard his voice and glanced her eyes away from him to the people below the Royal Castle.

Receiving the stares from the countless number of people, she blushed even more as she put her head down.

At this time, the master of ceremonies announced the matter of the groom and the bride using their blood essences to prove their purity!

The people below all clamored and were in confusion and awe, discussing that the Royal Family even had the ability to check that without using any vulgar methods.

After all, certain families were ruthless, some requiring women to swear upon the heavens, invoking heart demons if it were false.

That was just on the surface. Behind the scenes, people would directly use the vulgar yet primitive method to check the chastity of the women.

Davis and Evelynn promptly used their Blood Essence as a drop of blood entered the grey robes they were wearing. They had to do it live since the people could think that this matter could be faked through various means.

A second later, their robes promptly changed colors. Davis's robe turned to red while Evelynn's became blue.

Their dull clothes became extravagant in an instant, causing the people below them to stare at them in wonder.

The master of ceremonies had announced the meaning of the colors and the history of the tradition, so the people were able to instantly realize the innocence of both the groom and the bride.

Red would mean that the man is chaste while blue would mean that the woman is chaste.

Brown would mean that the man is not chaste while yellow would mean that the woman is not chaste.

Many people were in disbelief, not believing such a thing was true but the facts placed in front of them displaying the reality.

Davis smiled lightly at Evelynn and returned his gaze to the sea of people below. He suddenly caught sight of a peculiar gaze that had a different intent and traced his eyes towards that direction.

Thanks to his heightened senses from the last breakthrough in Body Tempering Cultivation, he could even sense peculiarities even without using Soul Sense to a degree.

Still, his senses would not help identify the peculiarity like Soul Sense would, so he promptly used it.

His Soul Sense traveled in a straight line and a white-robed figure wearing a veil emerged on his mind.

That white-robed figure he locked his senses on instantly turned back to escape while he was shocked for a moment.

Seeing the white-robed figure leave, his heart tightened. He slightly moved forwards but stopped himself as he clenched his fists.

'Now is not the time!'

His gaze turned to Evelynn and when he saw her looking at him with a questioning gaze, he smiled back.

The already nervous Evelynn avoided his gaze as she put her head down again.

Davis sighed inwardly and shook that white-robed figure out of his mind as he pulled himself back.

Today was the day he gave himself to Evelynn and vice versa. He absolutely couldn't ruin it with his own legs.

As for the escapist, he guessed that an opportunity for their 'friendly' reunion might arrive in the future.

A minute later, the master of ceremony announced for the Emperor and the Empress to declare their consent towards the marriage.

Logan and Claire looked at each other and then stepped forward.

"I, the Emperor (Empress), declare my approval to the marriage between my son, Davis Loret and Evelynn Cauldon!"

Once their voices finished echoing throughout the surroundings, the master of ceremonies waited for Davis and Evelynn to kowtow towards them before announcing for the groom and the bride to exchange their vows.

Davis held both her hands as he looked at her with fondness. Both of them were gazing at their faces, their pure emotions visible to each other.

Davis spoke as his voice resounded out, "I, the Fifth Prince and the Crown Prince of the Loret Empire, Davis Loret, hereby vow in the presence of my family and the people to take Evelynn Cauldon as my wife!"

His words were simple yet straightforward.

Evelynn's eyes teared up a bit because the moment she had been waiting for all these years had finally arrived.

She bit her lips a moment before she spoke, her voice resounding out, "I, Evelynn Cauldon, hereby vow to be Crown Prince Davis Loret's wife for an eternity..."

Davis blinked in astonishment and surprise.

There was no script readied for them to say, their vows were just their thoughts.

The word eternity was no joke and he knew Evelynn wasn't the type to kid around at this moment.

Instantly, he hugged her at the moment, not caring about the announcement of the master of ceremonies anymore.

Yes, it wasn't a kiss to seal the deal but a hug from both the parties according to the tradition of the Loret Family.

Evelynn was stunned but she also wrapped her arms around him as she hugged. At this moment, she felt like she was embracing her world.

Logan and Claire laughed joyfully while the master of ceremonies awkwardly tried to explain what had happened. Boisterous laughter, applause, and celebrations through lights exploding in the skies, the atmosphere turned jubilant, causing the people to shout in madness as they took part in the festivities.

Davis was feeling reluctant to part with her warmth but he still backed off as he said smilingly, "We're now officially married..."

"Yes..."

Evelynn meekly replied, her eyes upturned.
