Evelynn held his hands and felt comfortable before she looked at Shirley, "Princess Shirley, it's been a long time..."

Shirley wore the same fiery red garments, except she donned a blazing red robe on top of it, which emphasised her overall figure, making her look like an Empress.

She removed her veil and smiled brightly at Evelynn.

When Evelynn saw her beautiful face, she felt mesmerised. She felt that she was way beautiful than her.

Shirley came closer to Evelynn and held her hands as if they were friends for a long time.

"Yes, I imagine that your feelings for him have been made clear already?"

Evelynn smiled as she nodded. She felt somewhat closer to this princess who treated her fairly.

"Haha, perfect! Tell me more about it!" Shirley laughed as she dragged her away from Davis.

Evelynn let out a squeal. She wanted to refuse and stay with him but she felt it rude to reject her hospitality.

Davis had his face scrunched up in a smile that was not a smile, 'Not only did she greet me? She even took her away. This father and daughter duo certainly are planning something. Not good! I have to maintain my vigilance!'

Davis went full paranoid, but he still kept calm and conversed with Emperor Ashton and the elders.

Meanwhile, in a nearby guard tower, there were plenty of small rooms which were used for the garrison.

In one of the small rooms, there were two beauties who had just got inside.

Shirley excitedly turned her head and started probing, "How far has he gone?"

"How far? If you're asking about the distance, then he's just nearby us..." Evelynn replied as she felt confused.

"Aiya! I meant how far has he gone with you!?" Shirley facepalmed herself and rephrased her question.

"This... We've just held hands..." Evelynn blushed as she said.

"What!? Just held hands?" Shirley stepped back and looked at her blushing face in disbelief.

"I don't believe it! Tell me the truth!

Evelynn smiled wryly as she thought, 'Even though it's true, she doesn't believe me..."

Looking at her wry face, Shirley hid her mouth with her hands and muttered, "You're kidding me right!? But he was that dominating..."

Evelynn's eyes went wide when she heard her words, "Dominating? What do you mean!?" Her expression changed, evidently misunderstanding Shirley's words.

Interlocking her fingers, Shirley replied hastily, "Eh? No! I meant he was dominating when we fought during the final round of the Grand Sea Continent Meet. So, I figured he must have already dominated you by then sometime later..."

...Spreading her hands wide, Evelynn shouted at her face, "How did you arrive at that conclusion!?" She couldn't understand why she would think like that.

Stepping back a little, Shirley replied, "Well, I know that my brothers have already lost their virginity as soon as they have gone through puberty. Especially you, with you by his side, I don't think he can hold out much longer. So, I figured that it must have been the case with him as well. After all, we are all of Royal Family..."

Hearing her statement, Evelynn felt like crying, "What is this? Is this a tradition!?"

With her finger on her chin, Shirley replied, "You could say that... My brothers had their first time with their servants from what I've heard, and it isn't any secret either..."

Evelynn's expression froze, a figure emerged in her mind, "Se... Servant!?"

Shirley's eyes brightened the moment she uttered heard the word from her mouth, "Ah... Speaking of servants... I wonder if he lost his first to that girl? Ellia was it? Hmm? She isn't here? She didn't bring him here? Weird... they even seemed so close..."

Suddenly she noticed that the atmosphere went silent, and immediately realised that she said something she shouldn't have.

Evelynn looked down at the floor, she didn't raise her head for a while.

Shirley waited but didn't console her as she wanted to see her reaction to this matter. To her, she was interested in all kinds of romantic topics, and this was one of her hidden hobbies.

She would ask her sisters and brothers about their relationships and affairs. It was so full of amorous and lovable moments. There were some forced moments as well, but she hated that to the bones.

Contrary to that lovable moments, she felt that Davis was the type to dominate a woman when he grows up, and that's why she rejected the marriage with him while she had the chance.

All in all, she was disgusted with forced romance and felt that she would end up in that track with him.

"It's fine..."

"Hmm?" While she was in her own thoughts, she noticed that Evelynn had said something.

"I said that it's fine," Evelynn said once more in a firm tone.

"What's fine?" Shirley felt confused.

Evelynn took a deep breath and answered her question, "I don't care if he had already done it with that girl because I had already expected that this might be the case one way or another. After all, his mother had warned me to be wary of that girl."

"Ohhhh..." Shirley gave an exaggerated acknowledgement and questioned with an inquisitive gaze, "Then how exactly does he treat you?"

When Evelynn heard her question, she smiled with a satisfied expression and placed her hands on her heart, "He treats me better than how my own family treats me..."

Shirley nodded her head blankly and the feeling of an unknown emotion swept past her heart.

'Was I wrong?' Is what all that she could think right now.

Her mind whispered that Evelynn must be lying, but seeing the expression on her face and observing how he jumped from the Golden-Horned Wyvern while carrying her, she couldn't help but admit that her words could be true.

"Why are you asking me all this? Could it be you regret that decision you made at that time?" Evelynn was no fool, she could notice the minute changes in her facial expressions. Her intuition told her that things were not as simple as they seemed.
