Chapter 1600: Terrible Plight |
Davis, who was watching all of this from inside little Davis felt his heart tremble as he knew what was going to come next.
Simultaneously, little Davis's regret and guilt were also washing over him, making him feel extremely bad as though he had been the one who was at fault.
Why didn't he treasure the time he had with his mother? Why was he so obstinate and crass?
These feelings washed over both Davis's as they were on their way out of the Imperial Loret Capital. After leaving the city, Davis could feel the extraordinary undulations of a fourth-stage cultivator go off. The little Davis smiled, knowing that it was his mother's undulations. However, those undulations were like a shooting star, bright before it disappeared out of their senses.
"Mother...?"
While Little Davis and Clara didn't know what happened, Hendrickson let out an involuntary grunt.
"You... what happened?" Little Davis asked Hendrickson, but he didn't receive an answer.
While Hendrickson refused to answer, the Davis who was watching from inside knew exactly of what transpired.
Both his father and mother self-destructed their revolving cores, dying in battle.
Why is he being forced to watch this bullshit!? Either his life should've ended when he sacrificed his soul essence or should be just done with it and entered the next life or had his existence erased by Fallen Heaven!
Why did he have to see his mother's death in this manner?
'I've never been so happy at the fact that I killed that army with millions of people in my entire life. I'll do it again and again, as many times as it is needed to protect mother and father...'
Davis laughed as he cried, but there were no tears, just the tears of little Davis influencing him to an extreme degree as it almost superimposed with his face. After all, he was forced to experience little Davis's emotions.
He hated this... Why was he here...?
Who was doing this to him? What's their end goal?
All those thoughts swirled in this thought process, and before long, he was kneeling in front of a grand palace. What's more, he recognized this grand palace.
"Emperor Ruth! The prince and princess of the Loret Empire have come seeking refuge from the war. Please grace us with your kindness and grant us protection. We are even willing to act as hostages!"
Hendrickson prostrated and begged the Ruth Emperor to take them in under their protection.
'Wait... Wasn't it Empress Ruth at this time? Isabella never became an Empress? Where are you, Isabella?' Davis wondered in doubt.
Nevertheless, he knew that his life had completely deviated from what he did.
He saved the Loret Empire by using Fallen Heaven, but in this life, it seems like the Loret Empire has...
"What hostages?" A confused voice echoed out, "The Loret Empire has fallen, its citizens subjected to extreme violence. Your Emperor and Empress are dead. Do you think that these two children are in any position to obtain the status of imperial hostages?"
Davis recognized this voice. It was none other than Mark Ruth.
Hendrickson trembled as he had his head on the floor. He raised his head, looking at the little Davis and Clara before he forced both their heads to hit the ground, lowering their statures as he made their status clear in front of the gate to the Ruth Empire's Main Imperial Palace.
"Ruth Emperor! Please grant these two your amnesty! I, on behalf of the dead souls of the Loret Empire, plead that your majesty shields these two little souls from torture and death!"
Little Davis and Little Clara still kept crying. The moment they heard that their father and mother were dead, they broke into tears.
Nevertheless, no reply came from the Ruth Empire.
People and the guards acted as if they didn't know them or ignored them while they kneeled for hours and days. Hendrickson kept pleading as he prostrated on the ground, his throat going dry. He didn't eat an ounce of a meal but made sure to keep Little Davis and Little Clara well fed.
During these days, many rumors began to spread. Little Davis could hear as many as them saying all kinds of things while looking at them with pity, greed, and even schadenfreude.
One of the rumors was even designed to humiliate his father and mother, stating that the Emperor of the Loret Empire had to lick the shoes of the two invading Emperors while the Empress of the Loret Empire had fun with the army generals before they self-destructed together from the sheer shame.
Not only was Davis enraged, but even the Little Davis knew what it meant as he threw a stone at that person out of anger and cracked that person's head.
It became a fight. However, Hendrickson didn't move from his kneeling posture while the little Davis was punched to the face and knocked down before being hammered by many punches and kicked by many legs. Clara could only miserably cry as she called for her brother, asking for Hendrickson to help, but he refused to do so.
In the end, those people left after they spat at him, leaving a battered Davis who stood up, his little sapphire eyes flashing with hatred as he remembered those people's faces. His entire body trembled with vengeance clouding his mind.
No one, he would forgive no one!
At the end of the third night of kneeling in front of the Ruth Emperor's Palace, a sudden rumor began to spread.
Apparently, the Empress of the Loret Empire, Claire Loret, was not someone from their Grand Sea Continent!
It did not even begin as a rumor but was declared by the Raven Empire and Tritor Empire, who found many pieces of evidence in Claire's spatial ring!
The atmosphere quickly turned hostile towards them as many people began to see them as the devil's spawn. Killing intent brewed against them even though they were just little children.
"Ahahah! There you are, you two little squirts who managed to escape."
"I presume that it's because of that Imperial Advisor who escaped in a cowardly manner instead of fighting to the death? Uhm?"
Two voices echoed as the three of them turned to look above in the skies.
It was none other than Emperor Raven and Emperor Tritor, storming the Ruth Empire's Imperial Capital. As for their target, it was clear that it was none other than Little Davis and Little Clara!
"Who granted you two imbeciles entry into my Imperial Capital?"
The expressions of the two Emperors changed as they heard Mark Ruth's voice.
"Are you kidding me? You think you're far above us, capable of taking us down both just because you have the blood of the Flood Dragon?"
"Don't interfere. We've come for these two squirts. Nothing more, nothing less. Or else, you'll have to face the wrath of the Guardian Alliance for sheltering these two demon spawns."
Davis couldn't see what was happening as his vision through little Davis was still quite blurry. However, he could see two figures step out from the palace and engage with the two Emperors without uttering a single word.
