Divine Emperor of Death

Looking at Fiora ’s disbelieving expression, Davis felt like he should explain himself.

”Fiora, I ’m not a saint.
I ’m not sure what picture you have painted of me in your mind, but I ’d like to say that I ’m a man, a greedy womanizer.
I find it difficult to resist women who I have approved of in my mind.
I found you endearing way before your elder sister because of your kind heart and courage, but she made her move, quickly made me hers in a sense, that is before you can even try and consolidate your feelings towards me. ”

Fiora became stunned as her mouth slightly hung agape.
Her tears had stopped falling, but her eyes still remained moist, making her look innocent.

Davis continued on, seeing that Fiora didn ’t reply, ”It seems you have asked your elder sister what if that day you sacrificed your innocence to me save your elder sister, what it would be like living with me? After hearing your thoughts, I imagined the same way, but the reality is different. ”

Davis turned to look at Natalya as an affectionate light shone in his eyes.

”Falling in love is vastly different than approving of a woman in my mind.
It took me some time to truly fall in love with your elder sister even though I approved of and slept with her at that time, but I can ’t assure you that it would be the same way if I took you as my woman. ”

Natalya pouted on hearing all his words.
Even if he felt that way, it was insensitive to say now, but she liked that he was honest about it.
Indeed, at first, she was nothing but anxious, but she was glad that it turned out like this so far.
She was more than satisfied.

Davis chuckled a bit before he turned to look at Fiora.

”That ’s why, can you…
forget about me? ”

Fiora remained stunned.

Davis waited for her reply.
He didn ’t urge her as he understood that this whole thing was sudden for her.
She was unprepared to face her feelings today, but he knew that he couldn ’t afford to put it after, for his own sake as well as Natalya ’s.

Natalya remained silent as well, but she felt anxious for her little sister.
She couldn ’t help but think that even if she felt like this, what about her little sister? What kind of pressure did she feel in front of her husband?

It would be pretty scary in her perspective.

After a few seconds, Fiora looked like she had reached a conclusion as she came out of her reverie.

”I…
I ’ll forget my feelings for you, brother-in-law… ”

Natalya widened her eyes while Davis ’s narrowed.
He couldn ’t help but instinctively feel that was a lie.
Or, it might be the truth, but could she really forget him?

He thought of not using the Karma Thread as it was not fair, but it seemed like he couldn ’t be fair anymore.

Activating his Karma Laws, he was able to see the Karma Threads.

However, Davis slightly blinked, feeling that the threads had become more visible and understandable to him compared to before.

’Certainly, Fallen Heaven ’s ability in Karma Laws have improved… ’ He inwardly nodded his head in approval before noticing that there were two threads extending in this room while the other threads reached towards the void before they became invisible.

One was obviously connected to Natalya, which he saw was extremely red, full of love.
He became satisfied with seeing their thread before he glanced at Fiora ’s and saw that it was almost full of red, with yellow patches of worry and anxiety coating the red thread.

’Forget me? Was it? ’ Davis ’s eyes couldn ’t help but twitch.

This level of reddish-love couldn ’t be removed by Fiora herself unless something big happened, like if she came to deeply hate him or deeply fell in love with another man or other things that would cause her to forget him.

However, she was deeply in love with him at this moment, and it was extremely unlikely she would do such things as those suddenly.

”Fiora, do you realize what you ’re saying…? ” Natalya couldn ’t help but ask in a low voice.

”Elder sister, it seems like you ’ve misjudged me… ” Fiora smiled a little, ”I can forget these feelings.
In any case, this is just a repeat of what I felt back then.
When I was a child, I idolized Crown Prince Xuan of the Xuan Empire, and now, I idolized my brother-in-law.
Nothing has changed about me.
I ’m sure I will idolize another man in a few years. ”

Davis frowned as he didn ’t like her words.
Her fists were slightly clenched, her fingers trembling a bit while she had difficulty keeping that smile on her face.
She was lying through her teeth and degrading herself that he couldn ’t bear to hear it.
His active Heart Intent had confirmed his doubts as well.

Natalya had a concerned expression as well.
Obviously, she didn ’t buy Fiora ’s excuse as she knew the best about her.

”Just give me time for these complicated feelings to fade away, and you ’ll see me be crazed like this for another man in a few years. ” Fiora giggled on seeing their expressions.

”I thank brother-in-law.
Now, I think I can lay these inappropriate feelings of mine to rest.
Finally, I won ’t be troubling my elder sister to pester brother-in-law about this matter anymore. ”

”You… ” Natalya couldn ’t help but want to say something.

She ’s even lying that she was the one who asked her to pester him?

”Who do you think you are, little sister? Are you trying to make it your fault so that my relationship with my husband doesn ’t collapse? ” Natalya angrily asked.

Fiora giggled, ”Elder sister, I think it is no use lying in front of brother-in-law.
We all know you care so much about me that you would lie for me.
Why bother hiding the truth? It is indeed I who asked for you to pester him.
Now, I want to clear my name of this mess, so it is better if we tell the truth to brother-in-law! ”

She pressed by the end, her black eyes staring at Natalya ’s angered face.

Natalya ’s lips moved, but just before she could say something, Davis intervened.

”I see… ” Davis nodded his head, ”So this is the truth… ”

”Yes, brother-in-law… ” Fiora satisfactorily smiled.

”Davis, no… ” Natalya wanted to convince otherwise, but Davis interrupted again.

”I understand you did this for the good of your little sister, Natalya.
But, it ’s a pity.
Today, I had prepared myself to welcome Fiora into my arms as my woman, but it looks like there is no need for that now. ”

Natalya blinked, instantly understanding what Davis was up to! She turned to glance at her little sister, and as expected, she saw that her expression froze while her body began to shiver lightly.

Davis walked towards Fiora and patted her shoulder twice, ”Thanks to you, sister-in-law, now I can finally rest assured with this decision of mine. ”

Fiora couldn ’t help but force a smile as she nodded.

However…

’Holy!~ ’ Davis couldn ’t help but inwardly scream.

”!!! ”

The intensity of regret that Fiora felt right was massive, that he had to stop using Heart Intent for it not to affect him.

He just couldn ’t understand.

If she felt so much love for him, why make this drama of claiming she was the bad woman who put her elder sister to this? But he then understood that this whole matter was not appropriate for a woman that was innocent as Fiora.
Perhaps, her love towards him was also one of innocence, and that was why she didn ’t dare relay her feelings to him of her own volition.

Fiora increasingly shivered before she shot a smile at them, ”I think it is getting cold for me here.
I think I will take my leave for now and no longer disturb you two. ”

”Ah, if the chillness is the problem… ”

*Click!~*

Davis snapped his fingers.

Sparks of flame began to sprout into existence around Davis and Fiora as he used his soul force to conjure them.
The heat generating from it instantly dissolved the chillness surrounding them, causing Fiora to feel oddly warm, warm enough that her feelings began to be aroused from the place she suppressed.

Underneath the warm radiance of the flames, she raised her head and saw his face before her eyes began to bawl out with tears.

However, she didn ’t even raise a voice as she bit her lips.

Davis ’s heart couldn ’t help but soften as he took his hand away from her shoulder and kept it in his back.

”I ’ll ask you one last time, Fiora.
Do you want to become my woman or not? Be true to yourself and most importantly, don ’t lie to yourself. ”

He decided this was the last time he was going to this straightforward with her.
If she said no, then even if she was going to be miserable in the end, it was not his fault.
He wanted Natalya to know that too as he glanced at her, relaying his intent with his eyes before returning his gaze to Fiora.

Fiora ’s lips trembled with countless emotions before she shot a look at her elder sister.

’Say it, Fiora!~ If you make the wrong choice, then I won ’t be able to do anything.
I will not be in a position to do anything… ’ Natalya placed her hands on her bosoms and inwardly worried as she tried to relay her intent to Fiora through her eyes.

Soul transmission wouldn ’t work as Davis would come to know about it.
She didn ’t want to be unfair at this moment.

Looking at Natalya, Fiora couldn ’t understand anything at this moment as she felt entirely confused.
However, the feelings that she kept hidden were no longer trying to keep themselves hidden as they rushed out.
Her lips that kept attached to themselves finally opened as her feelings burst out.

”I love brother-in-law! I want to become your woman!~ ”
