Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 917: Rising Phoenix?

Davis blinked once before he kept blinking his eyes in surprise. He could tell that Princess Isabella liked to be domineering wherever she went, but he conclusively realized that she was also susceptible to dominance! He had an inkling before with how she acted charming and bashful in front of him, but it was basically confirmed now."I'll become stronger than you in a few years, so don't worry." Davis grinned in an unabashed light.In reality, he felt as if he only uttered the truth.He had been holding back his breakthrough to High-Level Supreme Soul Stage because of wanting to maintain the stability of the foundation, but now that some time had already passed and he even had a less intense battle with Ancestor Dian Alstreim with his Supreme Soul Stage, he finally felt that it was time he broke through."So, who is it?" Princess Isabella lowered her head as she asked.Davis raised his brows in confusion.Didn't Evelynn say anything?"It's someone you already know..." He responded. Follow current on novelenglish.net

"So it's Ashton Empire's Rising Phoenix, Shirley Ashton..."Davis wryly smiled at hearing Princess Isabella's words. He knew that Princess Isabella already knew about his canceled engagement with Princess Shirley, so he wasn't surprised to find that she was able to pinpoint her exactly.However, Princess Shirley got a title like that? He never knew about it. Indeed, he felt guilty that he paid little attention to her."So... Why did you cancel your marriage with her? Wasn't she already yours?" Princess Isabella raised her head and asked with a frown.She couldn't understand, and Evelynn didn't say anything to her when she asked. Hence, she had no choice but to ask in a straightforward manner.Davis pursed his lips and took a deep breath before he sighed. He started explaining all that there is to it about how he wrongly treated Princess Shirley.A few minutes later...Davis and Princess Isabella were seated on the bedside by the side, with Princess Isabella holding his arm to her bosoms while listening to his story."In short, I wrongly pushed the blame on Princess Shirley and made her feel guilty. At that time, something was wrong with me. Perhaps, I was angered that three few women got the best of me and even went far as to kill my Evelynn while I was trying to save Princess Shirley from the effects of aphrodisiac that she was secretly administered to her by her own half-sister."

"I couldn't help but think that if it just weren't for Princess Shirley, I could have saved Evelynn at that time. I was angered with myself. I had to push the blame somewhere to gain peace in my heart, and that somewhere became Princess Shirley. That's probably the first time I willfully wronged someone..."Davis muttered in an exasperated tone."Didn't you say? Everyone makes mistakes..." Princess Isabella consoled, "Try to make this mistake your last..."Davis wryly smiled, "The fact is that I was self-aware of what I was thinking yet, I just couldn't forgive for her for a long time, at least, until I met her again at the secret entrance. I gave a chance to hear her out, but it seemed as if she was problematic with so many people pursuing her, and furthermore, I knew that I would not be there for her when needed since I was about to leave the Grand Sea Continent.""So, afraid of giving her a bad name and disparaging her purity, I decided to travel alone. Hmph, I even displayed that frustration on the geniuses who were invading the secret entrance and killed them all. I even left all the tracking-filled spatial rings so that it can be an apology for her. I assumed that she would've gotten most of it, assuming that she was the one who was following me behind.""However, as you know, what she did after I left only made me further indebted to her and made me feel complicated. Nevertheless, I was still stubborn and made her suffer alone.""I don't know why she is still bent on me after making her go through all that. Perhaps, she wanted to earn my forgiveness, but I doubt that people would go through all that for just single forgiveness. So, I think-""That she sincerely loves you?" Princess Isabella connected his words.Davis nodded his head and sighed, but he quickly stopped sighing once he recalled Natalya's words to stop sighing.'Really, habits die hard...'

Davis inwardly lamented."Of course, why wouldn't she fall in love with you?" Princess Isabella frowned, "Even though you didn't make love with her, you still saved her and even kissed right on her lips to hold her down and clear the effects of that Sinister Yang Aphrodisiac.""Furthermore, it was much, much, much easier for you to take advantage of her at that time and make her yours through force, but you didn't! Combined with the fact that you were once her fiance, if you did all this as you've told me, then, of course, she is going to be in love with you hopelessly!""You don't understand a maiden's heart!" Princess Isabella reprimanded.Davis had no choice but to nod his head in frustration, but it wasn't as if he didn't possess a reason for neglecting Princess Shirley at that time.At that time, he was of the concept 'One for all' and wanted to shower his love to Evelynn alone, so having Princess Shirley with him at that time was a no-no for him. At least, it was until he moved to the First Layer for the first time and saw granduncle Daniuis Alstreim be with the Su triplets, and Drake Blackburn be with many women, including Kara Moonridge, did the seed of polygamy; the greed for wanting to have other women took root in his heart.What could he say? He was influenced and corrupted by this world, and after getting a complete taste of Natalya's body and Princess Isabella's lips, he couldn't forget them, and wanted them all to be his!Princess Isabella inwardly sighed. If she knew all this beforehand, she wouldn't have said that he needed to be stronger than her to acquire a fourth woman. She didn't know that there was such a past between him and Princess Shirley.Perhaps, Princess Shirley was his second woman, and she was his fourth, no? After all, Davis and Princess Shirley were on the same bed, and they kissed even though it was to hold her down to clear the effects of the aphrodisiac. That fact couldn't be denied.Princess Isabella pouted in displeasure. Her mood plummeted once she thought of it like this, "Hmph! You're hateful!"She threw away his arm from her embrace and looked away, but she realized she was behaving unruly and looked at him again with grievance etched on her face.She, a woman who usually did by things rationally and dominantly, was being made to subconsciously act like a maiden. This was too embarrassing for her because she had always kept her dignity above everything and possessed an infallible character in front of everyone.Ever since she came to love him and entered his life, she wasn't the same Isabella Ruth anymore!
