Chapter 1331: Information About Ellia? (1/2)
It took only two seconds before Shirley shook her head.
”I don't know... all the majestic Fire Phoenix Immortal meant was for me to not lose my innocence, or I would become ineligible for the inheritance. Maybe the inheritance is different from a dragon's... I don't think the Fire Phoenix Immortal meant anything different, as I already confirmed that the Ice Phoenix Immortal said the same thing to your little sister Clara.”
”Oh, it was also said to Clara...?”
Davis recalled that Clara hadn't said anything like that to him but then realized that this isn't something a maiden would easily share. It made sense to him, considering that Clara was already an introvert who does not speak about personal matters most of the time. Besides, there was no need for her to share this information as her marriage's topic hadn't been brought out yet.
Maybe, she might've already said this to their mother and father, but who knew?
Shirley nodded her head to his doubt, ”I'm sure of that. I became rather good friends with your little sister after the trial. She's cute...”
Davis became taken aback, ”You found her cute...?”
Was his little sister that easy to socialize with...?
”Of course!” Shirley appeared amused, ”Every time I mention you longingly and compliment, her face slightly blushes as if it was her who is being praised. She adores you and looks up to you very much! I find it extremely cute!”
Shirley held her waist and shook her body as if embracing Clara.
Davis felt heartened, but at the same time, he wryly sighed.
He had taken so many women as his when he had taught her things like stick to one man in your life if you were ever going to marry the same way as he would like to stick to one woman. Since it was rather hypocritical of him to act oppositely, Clara would likely spit at him after learning about this, no?
Perhaps, she might even become distant.
When he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel sad.
”What's wrong...?”
Shirley noticed his wry expression.
”Nothing...” Davis shook his head as he came out of his reverie, looking at Shirley's beautiful red pupils.
They were like ruby gems adorning her face, making her look gorgeous and alluring, along with her long red hair that reached her waist like a lavafall. He felt a bit regretful for not taking this beauty as his wife in the past, but that would mean Evelynn would've become his second wife, so he erased that thought as soon as it came.
'Stop staring at me...'
Shirley's pale face became a bit red as she thought in a shy manner. She looked away, unable to receive his admiring gaze, and saw Esvele staring at them. She became even more conscious that she narrowed her eyes.
”Esvele, go play with Freya.”
Esvele's expression became pale as she shook her head. That perverted female bird would defile her big bosoms while playing, making her feel strange, and ever since Freya became a King Beast Stage Magical Beast, she was unable to fight back.
”Don't worry. Freya won't tease-”
”Esvele, you have my thanks for taking care of my Shirley.” Davis interjected as he clasped his hands, ”I'll hope you'll continue to take care of her while I could possibly be away sometime later.”
”Ah, no. It is what I should do...!” Esvele stood up from the sofa, clasping her hand in greeting.
Davis blinked as he imagined that this Esvele might really think of Shirley as her Mistress if she thinks that it's her responsibility.
”Why? Aren't you just another disciple?” He felt rather suspicious of her intent.
Esvele's black eyes shook before she lowered her head in shame, ”That's because even though I betrayed senior sister Shirley once, she still forgave me and gave me a second chance. I want to reciprocate and prove my loyalty towards senior sister.”
”Betrayed...?” Davis's brows instantly frowned.
The word he disliked the most was 'betrayal'.
”Even if it was a betrayal, she didn't do much at the end other than mop the floor like a woman who didn't know what to do. Davis, Esvele was merely sweet-talked by Schneider, who had probably garnered her weakness, her state of poverty, and invoked her greed. Nevertheless, I still knew and kept a close watch on her, and she didn't do anything, so I let her go. Then Schneider made a move against her, so I helped her. He's already dead while I saved Esvele. That's the end of the matter.”
Shirley forcefully spoke while she looked at Esvele as if asking if she wanted to die?
Why go on about spewing the past that had closure in front of her man? Would he really leave a person who had betrayed once by his woman's side?
She thought it was unlikely!
”Oh...” Davis's frown receded, replaced with an understanding expression, ”Well, if she didn't make a move, then that meant she hadn't really betrayed. I can see why you would give her a second chance, Shirley...”
Shirley's heart that thumped in worry of Esvele calmed down, ”Yes... In the mini-realm, she even stood up for me and faced countless enemies along with me, having my back. She had fought against Schneider in my stead while I was taking on a whole bunch of his lackeys, but we both were unable to match, so I no longer held back and killed them while also saving her using my Fire Phoenix Flames.”
