Divine Emperor of Death

4 months passed in the blink of an eye.

In this time, Davis managed to breakthrough to the Energy Condensation Stage. Furthermore, he started training in some Battle Techniques as well.

He also managed to attain the Tyrant Physique, making him invulnerable to people who were still in the Bronze Stage. If he tried, he could also barely fight with Low Level Silver Stage Cultivators for a few seconds.

But he didn't feel happy about that, he missed playing with Clara. He would go see her sometimes, but she would quickly send him back. He was feeling sad for playing that prank on her. He thought that she started to hate him, so he stopped bothering her for some time as well.

He never had a sister before, so he didn't know how he should treat her in this kind of situation.

Today was his 8th birthday. He was feeling fidgety for some reason, because he knew that today was the day he was going to get his personal maid. They brought her a month ago but he didn't get a single chance to meet her either. She was likely trained by the castle maids during this month.

As an Earthling who had no choice but keep himself entertained, he sure had a lot of fantasies about maids. But when he knew that he was actually going to experience that, he was not sure of what to feel anymore.

He heard that she was bought from an auction and her story went like this, she was an orphan abandoned on the streets, picked up by people who train personal servants. She was brought up in life only to serve the people who bought her, so it didn't actually matter if the buyer was a degenerate or not.

Was he feeling happy? Sad? Even he didn't know that. He couldn't help feel sad for their fates. Atleast he got to break free from that prison of slavery.

"Prince?"

There was a knock on the door, immediately followed by a girlish voice.

Davis was in the study, sitting on his bed. At that moment he suddenly got nervous for some reason. He calmed himself down before he answered.

"Come in."

The door opened and a girl at the age of 8 appeared.

She was around 50 inches tall, around the same height as Davis. Her neck length hair was pure black. She was dressed in a royal maid outfit. She looked beautiful with her almond shaped raven black eyes.

She nervously walked in and bowed in front of Davis.

"Master, from now on I am your Personal Maid, you can ask me of anything!" She muttered softly and shouted and the end.

"Haha" Davis hollowly laughed. He forgot his nervousness after seeing her being nervous.

"For starters, you could have told me your name"

She cutely stuttered "So…Sorry, Master. I am called Ellia."

"Right, Miss Ellia, could you please stop saying 'Master? Call me Davis, atleast when we are alone." Davis wryly smiled. He felt uncomfortable placed on a high pedestal by someone his own age.

"Mi.. miss Ellia? Your lowly servant doesn't require that much of an honorific, my Prince." She blushed.

Davis glared at her.

"Prince Davis" She corrected herself.

Davis sighed. 'Looks like I should get used to my Status too.'

He realised that he cannot change her mentality so soon.

'One step at a time.'

"Alright, you said that I can order you around?"

"Yes, Prince Davis."

"Hmm, let's play a game then."

"A game? What kind of game?"

"I'll say something and you'll have to repeat that fast enough. If you can keep up with me, then I'll reward you fairly."

"As you command."

"Alright, let's start then." Davis glared at her.

"…Alright, let's start then." She quickly grasped the meaning of the glare and responded.

"Very good. Just like that keep up with me!" Davis nodded

"..Very good. Just like that keep up with me!"

"Easy right? Now let's play this seriously!"

"….Easy right? Now let's play this seriously!"

Their childish game went on about for 5 minutes. She grasped the game quickly and naively played with him like a child. She had a smile on her face, which atleast told Davis that she wasn't broken, like he was once.

"Man, I wish these bastards would stop ordering me around."

"..Man, I wish these bastards would stop ordering me around."

She replied almost as fast as him. He can see that she was really getting into it.

"They're nothing but idiots who are placed on a high pedestal who deserve to die."

"….They're nothing but idiots who are placed on a high pedestal who deserve to die."

"Especially that Emperor Loret, he is a fucking pig!"

"….Especially that Emperor Loret, he is a… fucking pig?" She got really confused but chose to end the sentence. Then she realised to her horror that the words she muttered, was really blasphemous.

She dropped to the ground with a blank face.

"You! You dare to say that my Dad, Emperor Loret, is a fucking pig?" Davis asked in disbelief.

Ellia had tears in her eyes "No! But, my Prince, you are the one who asked me to repeat what you said." Her senses came back to her and she wasn't the one to give up silently.

"When did I ever say that? Look at this" He took out a crystal from his side.

"Eh? An Imagery Crystal?" Ellia recognized the crystal right away.

He injected his energy into the crystal, it then projected a video into the air.

Davis and Ellia could be seen playing and the audio could be heard as well. Just when Davis had said 'Okay, let's stop the game', she could also be seen to say the same sentence. After that it was just her continuously talking. The crystal was behind Davis, so only his back and her front can be seen.

"But….no…no way" She cried and shook her head in disbelief. She started to think that she had hallucinated mid-way during the game.

"This... I have to immediately report this to my Dad." Davis scrambled to get out of the Study.

"No! Prince Davis, please don't, please forgive this lowly servant!" She knew that she will lose her life if word of this gets out.

"Anything but that! I'll accept any punishments, please punish this lowly one." She bit her lips and wasn't sure of her fate anymore. She thought that her life was going to be miserable starting from now.

"Hmm… Will you listen to my words then?" Davis asked.

"Of course, Prince" She replied as fast as she can, still tear faced.

"Then call me Davis." He said with a smile on his face

"Prince?" Ellia was dumbfounded at this point, she thought that she will receive some humiliating punishment from her Master.

"Alright, I'm going to report."

"Davis!" In a moment of haste, she shouted his name loudly and blanked out.

She then fainted after realising what she had done.

Davis laughed.

Actually he only moved his lips and sent her a Soul Transmission during the end of the game. So it seemed like he was still talking but he wasn't. Poor Ellia who had experienced the Soul Transmission for the first time, couldn't differentiate between the two communication methods while she was so absorbed in the game.

'A solid step indeed. '
