Chapter 80: Ellia's Resolve
When Ellia had realised that she had started treating Davis like a friend, she started feeling happy and almost at the same time, she felt fear as well.
She felt happy that she was able to live a good life but felt fear because she was afraid of being abandoned. Adding to the thought that she had about Davis, this was almost like heaven for her. But one wrong move and she felt that she could end up in hell.
To her, even though she also treated Davis like a friend, it just didn't feel natural. With the binding of a slave servant on her fate, she always had a subconscious limiter in her memory that kept her reminding about her status and position, which made it truly difficult to make friends with Davis.
"You are so kind..." Ellia muttered as tears involuntarily dripped down her face.
"Eh!?", Davis's face changed to an awkward expression as he thought that his method of teaching went too far.
Ellia then started wiping away her tears with her wrists while her face went red again from the embarrassment. She felt that she had made herself a laughing stock.
"Haha, hey... st... haha... hahaha", Suddenly, Ellia was shocked as she felt ticklish on her waist which made her suddenly laugh like an idiot.
Ten fingers were simultaneously stimulating her waist, giving her a ticklish and pleasurable feeling which made her want to die as she laughed like an idiot.
"Haahhahha... sto... Dav... haha... enoug...hnngg!" Ellia lost her footing as she fell back when...
Davis stopped and held her by the waist by twisting his arms around her back for support.
Ellia's breath was heavy as she gasped for air. She had a smile on her face with a heavy blush on her cheeks.
"That's right, you only need to have a smile on your face. Please don't make such a sad face in front of me...", It was Davis who was embarrassed this time as he turned his face sideways as he continued, "Actually, don't be sad even when not in front of me, I will always protect you no matter what kind of a person you are..."
Tears erupted again from her eyes like a flood which she had no way to stop, but this time, she was smiling as she was crying. She was shedding tears of contentedness.
Davis smiled wryly. He only wanted to comfort her and make her stop crying.
The direction they were heading to was the inner zone of the volcanic mountain.
...
Four days had passed since the start of the second round.
In the Gote Island, Main Arena.
People were bustling with activity as conversations of the second round of the competition were being discussed on.
People remained here as they talked about the various happenings as they never seem to run out of topic.
The main reason that they were able to be free of boredom was that because of the profound formation which projected the situation and the events of the Firzen Island through the bugs which were monitoring the whole island.
"Oh, look at that blue robed youngster take down a Crimson Ape with pure strength! He must've purely trained in the Body Cultivation System and reached at least Low-Level Iron Stage!"
"I know this person! Isn't he the Young Master of the Nolan family from the Loret Empire?"
"Young Master of the Nolan family? I think he was called Kevin Nolan..."
They then checked the scoreboard, which had his name in the 13th position, with a score of 14500 points.
Not only the Cauldon family but all famous and noble families from all the empires had also participated in the Grand Sea Continent Meet. After all, It is an opportunity for them to increase their strength and fame.
Various conversations of the famous youths like him could be heard throughout the arena.
Even the emperors and the royal family geniuses watched them with some interest in their eyes.
But no matter what, all their eyes were concentrated on a certain someone.
Emperor Tritor had a smiling expression on his face the whole time. He then suddenly commented with a mocking tone, "It's been four days since the start of the second round but your son seems to only have killed a Peak-Level Earth Stage Beast which gained him 500 points. Even his maid had killed a lot of beasts. He mainly seems to be following and instructing her. At this rate, wouldn't he be a failure to the position of a royal heir?"
