A second later, three figures clad in black robes instantly appeared as they kneeled before him with one of their knees on the floor.
"Are you all the ones guarding Evelynn?" Davis asked as he cast a glance over them.
"Yes, your highness!" The three echoed in sync, their voices feminine.
The way he called them was arrogant and haughty but they seemed to be unfazed as if this was normal.
He asked, "From when exactly?"
One of them lifted their face and said, "Two months after your highness left..."
Davis nodded, "I see... Then all of you protected Evelynn shortly after the time I left, huh? You all have my thanks..."
"We’re honored, your highness!" Echoed the three while putting down their heads again.
Davis frowned, then hesitated a little before asking, "I want to see your faces..."
The three hidden female experts removed their masks at once and lowered their hood.
In front of Davis were three women who he found familiar.
His face turned a little confused, "You all... I... I swear I’ve seen you all somewhere before..."
The three women looked at each other and smiled, "We were castle maids in charge of the royal kitchen at that time..." One of them replied.
"Yes..." Davis instantly remembered but he then turned a little embarrassed inwardly for not being able to remember the names of his own people.
"Our empress found our talent to her standards, so she recruited us and gave intense training and resources from time to time."
"That’s how we were able to increase our strength in these years..."
Davis nodded, "The fact that you three were at the royal kitchen at that time means that you were all trusted even before being recruited to be hidden protectors."
"Can I know all your names?" He asked politely as he thought of rewarding them with something.
The three women nodded their heads and said there names in sync, "Felt! Tami! Emine!"
Davis was surprised at their enthusiasm. He could see their grateful eyes, glistening with unwavering loyalty.
They didn’t seem like cold hidden experts as one would see in stories but were seething with emotions.
No! Taking a glance again, she saw that they were her protectors!
Davis waved his hands, "Alright, take these spirit stones and cultivate! There’s no need for you three to protect her anymore! Come back after reaching the Body Transformation Stage!"
The other three didn’t say anything, directly leaving after taking the 600 Low-Level Spirit Stones.
The Crown Prince’s command was equal to the Emperor’s and Empress’s command. That’s what they were told when they had been assigned to protect Evelynn.
Davis turned to look at Evelynn after they left. A guilty expression appeared on his face, feeling bad for the events that happened early morning.
Evelynn turned back and went inside, indirectly prompting Davis to follow behind her into their room.
Once Davis stepped into the room, he heard Evelynn speak.
"Felt, Tami, and Emine... The last time I saw their faces was the time when they were introduced to me." She suddenly said and turned back, facing him, "I’m glad that you rewarded them with those spirit stones..."
Davis shook his head with a smile, "It’s my pleasure..."
Evelynn stepped closer, "No, I truly feel bad for them, protecting me day and night without expecting a single thing in return."
A complicated expression appearing on her face as she mumbled in a low voice, "Truly, I can’t be like them..."
"You don’t have to..." Davis echoed, "Stay as you are... the person I love, not them."
Evelynn giggled, a blush appearing on her face.
Davis’s expression went faint, "Listen, I’m sorry that I lashed out at you this morning..."
"I don’t remember something happening like that..." Evelynn held her chin, a confused look appeared on her face.
Davis was inwardly stunned, ’She’s acting as if nothing happened?’
’Ahhh...’ He inwardly made a sound of realization.
He smiled and thought he was truly favored by the heavens at least once to have her as his wife.
But what he didn’t know was Evelynn didn’t really care for much as she only felt that he was being possessive, a feeling that she gradually came to enjoy over time.
He came forward and took her soft white hand into his palms, "I have something for you... No, us..."
A book appeared in her hands, and when she sent her senses into it, she froze.
