Chapter 35
The young lady was a staff member of the Illustrious Cauldon Pill Store . She held her head high up, looking down on other people with ordinary statuses . But she dared not to pull her weight around the Prince of an Empire or the Manager . Both were people who she couldn't offend .
She hurriedly ran and stood in front of a door .
"Young Mistress, the Prince is here, the manager has called you to go greet him . " She anxiously shouted .
After a moment of silence, a voice can be heard .
"You can go now, our Young Mistress will be ready in a moment . "
"Yes!" She quickly left .
Inside the room .
"Miss, the Prince is here it seems . " A young girl said . She had a servant like attitude that clearly explained that she served under this Young Mistress .
"The Prince? Isn't he only 8 years old? What is he doing here Maisy?" A young lady, around 18 years old questioned with a surprised tone .
She was 5'3" tall . She had sharp black eyes . Her nose were small with her lips upturned in a smile . Her long green hair reached till her waist, and had her side hair tied up in a bun behind her head . Her breasts were bountiful while her buttocks were perky . She wore a black cheongsam with red stripes over its edges . She looked quite matured for her age .
"Perhaps the Prince could no longer wait to meet his fiancée, hehe . " Maisy joked .
"Haha, he is only 8 years old, surely he isn't here for me . Even if he was here for me, I am merely designated to be his concubine . My fate is sealed for all we know . " She shook her head wryly .
"Maybe Miss should just escape from this place and go somewhere else . " Maisy understood her Mistress's plight, she couldn't help but support her .
"Go where Maisy? If I escaped then I would be a sinner of the Cauldon family . Let's go see him, but there would not be much to expect from an 8 year old boy . " She regained her bearings and left the room with Maisy .
. . .
"Look at this Prince, these are all our top most pills . This is a Peak Earth Grade Three Revolutions Pill, it helps one break through the Silver Stage… . . "
George kept explaining all the top tier pills they had in stock, Davis was listening to him patiently while taking in the new found knowledge . Learning all of this, he suddenly had some interest in Alchemy .
'How good would it be if I am able to make these by myself?' Davis sighed . He became determined to get a good teacher for his Alchemy training . All this war and it's after effects caused the Loret Empire to be unstable . Without the rumoured senior's fake presence, the Loret Empire could have suffered another calamity . So with this situation, Davis's parents didn't invite any outsiders over .
Faint footsteps could be heard by his side . He turned his head to see a beautiful women accompanied by another women behind her who seemed to be a servant . Watching that beautiful women, his eyes lit up in appreciation .
She walked with an elegance that won't be found in ordinary women . She was beautiful as well as sexy in a mature sense .
"Haha, Prince, let me introduce her, she is our family's Young Mistress, Evelynn Cauldon . "
"What a beautiful name . " Davis commented while watching her coming towards him . He was truly captivated by her elegance .
"Wait! What? Your family's Young Mistress?" Davis's eyes was wide open .
"Yes, she is your fiancée, Prince Davis . " George nodded proudly .
'That women is my fiancée?' Davis looked at her and lost his composure . He suddenly felt that his Mother did an excellent job by tying him with this women .
Evelynn came forward and introduced herself as she bowed lightly .
"A good day to you, Prince Davis . My name is Evelynn Cauldon . "
Davis gulped, even her voice sounded coquettish capable of melting his sanity .
'Fuck! Is she a succubus?'
"A good day to you too, Miss Evelynn . " Davis clasped his hand and greeted her as well . He felt like he should leave a good impression on her .
"I am heartened to see you, Prince Davis . By any chance, did you come here to visit me?" Evelynn probed, she wanted to know why he came here .
Davis contemplated a moment before answering . If he lied then he would have to make a river of lies again to follow up .
"Ah . . The truth is I had no idea that you were here, Miss Evelynn . This is the first day I have been out of the Royal Castle, I was just roaming around while I caught the sight of your Cauldon Emporium . I wished to check things out, so I came in . I honestly didn't expect to see Miss Evelynn here . It is pretty much my luck, to see your beautiful self here . "
Davis who still looked like a kid, still kept his bearings and answered truthfully . But the sight of it was pretty comical to Evelynn .
She giggled . "Evelynn thanks the Prince for his compliment . " She now had a good impression of him . If this was her fate, then she was determined to make a person like him care for her . If not, then she thought of backing out .
Now Davis was feeling not sure about this engagement . He sure did like her but didn't want to force her either .
"Miss Evelynn, by any chance are you against this engagement? If you are then I can ask my Father Emperor to cancel the engagement . "
This time, even Evelynn and the other people eyes shot wide open .
She very much wanted to decline this engagement when she first heard about it, but as a member of the family, she had little say in her marriage unless she showed a talent that a genius should possess . After directly meeting him in person, she had a good impression of him . So she was now a little hesitative whether to drop this engagement or not .
Age was of little concern in this world . After one turned 16, it didn't matter if he or she married a 200 year old person .
Davis was just 8 years old but the marriage will be held only after he turned 16, until then she would have plenty of time to decide .
"This… Prince . . shouldn't say it like this, the engagement has already been s…"
Davis glared at George and that shut him up from saying any more bullshit .
"As you know, I have again been engaged to the 36th princess of the Ashton Empire . This means, you are fated to be a concubine of mine even if you marry me . I know that you are indignant about this and hence I want you to make a choice . " Davis elaborated his thoughts .
