Chapter 41: Battle Techniques

After that, Claire and Logan apologized to Clara for their irresponsible actions. They promised that they would never lie or deceive her again.

Davis also watched this comical sight as he thought that it served them right.

'This horny couple.' Davis shook his head, in fact he was just jealous.

After this ended, he bid farewell to Clara.

He then made his way to his study and just when he was halfway there, he got blocked by two angry silhouettes. He suddenly got a bad feeling about this.

"Hmm? Why are you two here for?"

Logan cracked his fists. "Claire, I think there's one kid over here who doesn't understand his position."

"That brat, how brave of him to insult the Emperor and the Empress?" Claire piped in.

Davis took a step back.

"What do you think we should do about this brat who thinks that he is so smart?"

"I am thinking of…" Just before Claire can answer.

Davis tried to run before Logan captured him over his neck.

"Claire, can I…." Logan grinned.

"Permission granted!"

"Oh shit!" Davis shouted.

Davis knew that his life was over.

*bang* *bang* *bang* *bang* *bang* *bang* *bang* *bang* *bang* *bang*

After some time, Davis can be seen carried by Ellia to his study with severe external injuries.

Rumours spread about that one night in the Royal Castle, about how a lonely ghost screaming miserably can be heard at that time.

...

A week passed slowly, Davis's injuries healed slowly. Today, he healed completely.

His parents didn't let him heal quickly and grounded him for a week, they also made it as his punishment.

"One day, I'll teach that horny couple what it means to suffer." Davis muttered quietly. He didn't quite think that they would really seriously injure him. Claire just watched with a determined gaze while Logan gave all the beatings.

Of course, he didn't mean what he said either.

"Davis, since you are fully healed now, why don't we stroll around the Royal Castle." Ellia said with a sweet voice.

She pretty much knew how he got injured but she only laughed when he heard his plight.

"Seems like a good idea." Davis stretched and exercised his body.

He stayed in the Study recuperating his injuries and didn't go anywhere out as he was grounded.

"Okay, let's go." Davis then dragged her out of the Study.

He then made his way to the library with her. He wanted to get her some Battle Techniques which might suit her.

Just when they arrived in front of the Library, he saw Librarian Oxford.

They both greeted each other and just when he passed by, he was stopped by Oxford.

"Prince, bringing a maid into the Castle Library is forbidden." Oxford said.

"Even if it is your personal maid." He added.

Davis narrowed his eyes. He had a good impression of the Librarian before.

"You are just a maid, don't bite off more than you can chew." Oxford berated Ellia.

"Y…Yes, I'll just wait here, Prince Davis." Ellia answered, a little scared.

'Just a maid?' Davis closed his eyes, he was full of anger. He didn't think the Librarian would be this type of person. He reasoned that he was just doing his job, but the last sentence he uttered to Ellia went overboard.

"Oxford!" Davis shouted.

"Prince?" Oxford trembled when he heard that shout. He had a vague feeling that his soul was suppressed at that moment when Davis shouted.

"I'll say the same, don't bite more than you can chew. Since when did you get the authority to lecture my personal maid?"

"But…Pri.."

"Where is your answer?"

"I dare not anymore."

"This shall be your last warning."

"Ellia, let's go."

"But, my Prince! The rules say…."

Davis shot a look at Oxford which ultimately shut him up.

They then walked inside and searched for some Battle Techniques suitable for Ellia.

"Prince, there was no need for that, I could have stayed outside and not cause you any trouble." Ellia said sadly. She was happy that he helped her, but knew that he will ultimately get into trouble for this event.

'He was just punished by the Emperor, how can he be so protective of me?' She thought.

"There's no need to worry about me Ellia, worry about yourself." Davis smiled back at her.

Ellia smiled back and nodded.

Davis thought that he moved a little too soon. He was too protective of her. If word gets out then then trouble will soon follow her naturally.

'Whatever, at that time, I'll just protect her again.' He thought.

"Ellia, since you just cultivate the same Cultivation Techniques as me, I'll find a suitable version for you as well."

"Hmm."

Davis then went, brought out some books from the shelves and returned after a few minutes."

"First of all, these are the copies of all the Battle Techniques I train in. In fact, I have already finished training in all these."

He pointed at each one of these books and explained slowly.

"This is the Devastating Lightning Palm, a Low Level Sky Grade Battle Technique. It can cause a devastating effect if you manage to hit the opponent's body with your palm with this technique. They will be in a sorry state as their internal organs will be fried. "

She nodded her head.

"And this one over here is the *cough* Silent Erupting Finger, also a Low Level Sky Grade Battle Technique. This technique is a little difficult to train in, other than that, it is a powerful technique which concentrates all your Body Cultivation strength in your finger to erupt with an incredible piercing power. This technique is useful for killing someone silently."

Hearing that, Ellia's face went pale. She imagined her finger piercing into a person's chest. She refrained from vomiting right there and somehow calmed herself down.

Davis could see that something was wrong with her, but he continued anyways. He needed his friend, Ellia to become a strong person.

"This is the final one, known as Thunder Cloud Movement. This is the fastest movement technique which our Empire has currently, it's a Mid Level Sky Grade Technique. It creates a little sound that echoes like a thunder when used. The first step you take is an explosive step which you can even use to attack other people."

"So powerful!" Ellia gasped.

"When used in accordance with the First Layer of Extinction Lightning Judgement, it shows an ability that's on par with a Peak Level Sky Grade Technique, or so I heard." Davis said indifferently.
