Divine Emperor of Death

Only the three of them remained in the Throne Hall.

Claire took a deep breath and said, "I know it isn't pleasant to share resources when there is so much to do, but if we hoarded it instead then we will incur negative opinion and aggression instead, so what I did was..."

"Spend it on the army, upgrading some our formations and powering the previously useless ones, gifting some to the Nolan and Cauldon Family, distributed it to some kingdoms under our rule, and finally, used it to recruit experts skilled at hiding in the shadows and gaining information."

"Great!"' Davis echoed.

Gifting it to the Nolan and Cauldon Family was worthwhile because of their loyalty.

Although he disliked those old farts in the Cauldon Family, there was still Evan Cauldon who is Evelynn's father. As long as her father existed, then he wasn't bothered by the fact of gifting them.

For the Nolan Family, he felt that there was no need to be stingy with them as they had always remained loyal. Even Renard Nolan, who was the captain of the Royal Guards didn't hesitate to give up his life when faced with an unknown enemy in exchange for the safety of Princess Clara and Evelynn.

As for distributing it to the other kingdoms, as long as they kept their loyalty to them, he didn't mind it either.

But what he liked the most was, of course, an Intelligence Department!

The Loret Family's Intelligence Department was destroyed during the rebellion, so he gave Claire an idea to create a new one with a systematic hierarchy.

It looks like she implemented it just as he needed it.

Although Davis was strong and powerful, he wasn't omnipotent. He couldn't maintain his soul sense all month long because that would be taxing on his mind.

Besides, he would have to constantly project his focus to the soul sense to notice any anomalies.

That was why he preferred an intelligence department over keeping tabs on things all by himself.

The more people there are gathering information, the faster he could react to vulnerabilities.

And what's so awesome was that there existed no spy in the Intelligent Department, not even in the Royal Castle or the Royal Guards.

This was all thanks to because of Clara.

Anyone caught by her had a fate worse than death during the time he left, but he wasn't aware of that.

Even with rooting out the spies, no one managed to find out about Clara's Transcendent Truth Eyes.

There were only a few in the know, but they were all family members.

"Alright! I have some spirit stones here, take how much ever you want and give it back to me..." Davis took out a spatial ring and unbound it as he threw it to Claire.

Claire caught the spatial ring and bound it to herself. When she sent her senses into the space ring, her expression froze.

Her lips started to quiver as she looked at Davis with a shocked gaze.

"What happened?" Logan looked at her reaction and in turn, it piqued his curiosity.

'Could it be that he has over 100,000 Spirit Stones?' He couldn't help but think but at the same time, he couldn't hide his excitement either.

Claire was flabbergasted. She kept looking at Davis while the latter maintained a grin on his face.

A few seconds later, she shook her head and said as she unbound the spatial ring, "Here..."

She gave Logan the spatial ring, "See for yourself..."

"Why? You could have just told me..." Logan shrugged impatiently and bound the space ring to himself.

The moment he sent his senses to the space ring, he froze!

He expressed the same reaction as Claire, even though he was already prepared!

He took time to process the numbers and silently muttered to himself with disbelief, "7 million!? 7,000,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones!?"

It was not the 100,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones he expected but 70 times its amount. This left him in disbelief, and at the same time excited.

In reality, this was just not currency, but a resource to increase their cultivation and the empire's overall prowess.

He couldn't help but think how their cultivation would improve by leaps and bounds after this day.

"Father, Mother..." Davis suddenly said at this time.

Claire paid attention while Logan got out of his reverie.

"I have only one request..."

Claire asked, "What?"

"Marry Evelynn to me as soon as possible..." Davis said with a smile.

"Oh silly..." Claire giggled slightly. 

She didn't expect this to be his request. She thought he would request something else, like the throne or something of equal value.

If so, then she would've gladly convinced Logan and gave it to him but she just remembered how Davis wasn't interested in becoming an Emperor.

Logan also slightly laughed, thinking that his son was just like him, eager to marry the woman they loved.

"I don't know the specifics, so I'll leave it up to you two..." Davis shook his head, feeling slightly embarrassed.

Logan also shook his head and laughed, "Davis, do you know how many women are after you... Every time I go somewhere to attend to my responsibilities, there's always some old man trying to marry his daughter or granddaughter to you, and you're here asking us to marry you to Evelynn."

Claire continued, "From this, we can see how much you love her, so don't worry. In a month or two, we'll arrange the grandest wedding in the Loret Empire!"

Davis chuckled with an embarrassed expression on his face, "Hehe, thanks..."

"Haha, we couldn't marry grandly like you are going to do, so do you realize how lucky you are!?"

Davis chuckled wryly. Honestly, he couldn't care less if it was grand or not but he wanted it to be grand for the sake of Evelynn. 

He knew she had an inferiority complex to some degree, so with this, he had hoped to increase her self-confidence a little bit.

Besides that, if making it grand could make her happy, then why not?

"Right, invite your master too!"
