A day passed after that incident.
Logan felt a burden in his heart disappear.
He took care of the matter of those two traitors. He saw that Cooper had a hole in his chest so he didn't suspect anything at all. That hole was created by Case's power, so he wasn't suspicious.
Davis did order Case to put a hole in Cooper's chest way before he entered the Royal Castle yesterday.
After taking care of these matters, Logan probed the whole Royal Capital with his senses as he moved to each location, but he couldn't find Dead End at all.
All he found was a few assassins lurking near the Royal Castle as he killed them later.
The assassins he killed included those two assassins who were named Left Sky and Right Sky.
But Davis didn't know that at all. If he knew, then that would have removed a headache for him.
....
"Ellia? Are you ready?" Davis asked as he touched.
"...Yes.." Ellia replied with a soft voice, her petite body was trembling.
"I'm entering now.." Davis said with a confident expression on his face.
*Creak*
Davis opened the door to the Emperor's quarters as he went inside with Ellia.
"Father, as you requested, I came with Ellia."
"Hmm." Logan who was seated near his desk nodded his head.
Yesterday, after the incident, Davis was asked by his father to visit his room as he wanted to talk with him about something. He was also then told to bring Ellia along with him.
"Davis, demonstrate your cultivation for me..." Logan said that as he rested his chin on his hands
Davis nodded his head and demonstrated his cultivation for him to see.
Black lightning sparkled around Davis as he emitted his energy from his body.
Then his body emitted a grey aura, as the pressure from his body that was being generated increased.
"Excellent! You have reached Peak-Level Iron Stage and Peak-Level Energy Condensation Stage!" Logan's expression was one of proudness.
To have reached Peak-Level Iron Stage in a few months from Mid Level Iron Stage, Davis worked hard during the day to cultivate his body.
He had the required resources, so he concentrated on quickly increasing his Body Cultivation these few months.
Davis didn't show his Soul Cultivation since Ellia was here as well. Logan didn't ask him to demonstrate it either. It was a tacit understanding between them.
Logan then turned his head towards Ellia. Ellia, who saw that immediately started trembling again. She clenched her fists as she tried to calm down but to no avail, she couldn't.
"Ellia? Was it?"
"... Y...Yes!"
"Demonstrate your cultivation too..."
Ellia gulped as she stayed silent.
"What's wrong? As the Prince's maid, you have the duty to protect his life and also take care of his needs. I heard that your talent was good, so I wanted to see what kind of cultivation level you have reached."
She looked at Davis only to see him nod his head gently with a smile on his face. Seeing that she also nodded a little and demonstrated her cultivation with determination.
Lightning sparkled around Ellia as she emitted energy from her body. It was a flash of normal lightning tinged with a small extinction attribute as she didn't have a Lightning Elemental like Davis.
After that, her body's aura emitted brown-red colour, as the pressure from her body radiated a tyrant kind of aura.
Logan nodded his head and commented.
"Not bad for a maid, but do you understand now that you are even more indebted to the Royal Family?"
"...Yes!" She looked at the Emperor and replied with a brave front.
"Good! You can leave now. I want to talk to my son alone."
Ellia bowed and silently withdrew as she quickly walked away from the room.
After she went out, there were a few moments of silence before Davis asked.
"Aren't you going to ask me about it, father?"
Logan said with a calm face. "Why? I believe that you have your own reasoning to train her with our monopolized techniques. I trust your decision."
"Father…" Davis was moved, he thought he would have a big fight with his father just now, but he didn't expect that he would let them off this easily.
"Don't give me that look. If the deceased Royal Family was still alive, you would've been executed for handing our secret techniques to a mere maid. But since I'm the Emperor now, I get to decide the rules. And since you're my son, you get a lot of leeway at that." Logan grinned with a profound expression on his face.
"Just make sure that those techniques don't get leaked for some reason." Logan then frowned.
Davis chuckled. "I will, that goes without saying."
Logan then nodded his head, satisfied with the answer his son gave.
"And what was it that you said that you wanted to talk to me before?" Davis then asked, curious as to why his father called him here.
"Yes, that was the main reason I called you here," Logan replied as he took a deep breath.
"Do you know how I met your mother? Do you know how we fell in love with each other"
"My mother? Father, did you just call me here to talk about your love story?" Davis chuckled.
"Haven't you ever thought about your mother's parents? Haven't you ever thought about why your mother doesn't talk about her origins?"
"Huh... Maybe because my mother's parents are dead?" He more or less assumed it like this since his mother frowned upon anything related to her origins.
Logan shook his head.
Davis got a bad feeling about this, "Why are you now suddenly asking this?"
"You met the Ruth Empire's Empress, right?" Logan didn't answer but asked a question instead.
"Hmm, I remember, Empress Isabella Ruth..." Davis nodded his head. His mind couldn't help but trail off to a glamorous world.
'Why is he bringing her up now? It can't be that she is my mother's sister or something like that, right?' He thought incredulously.
