Chapter 337 Wayn Nolan
Next-Day Morning.
Near the southern gates of the Royal Capital.
In the midst of numerous cultivators, among thousands of crowd stood a platform about a kilometer long and wide.
Standing on top of the platform were two extremely young cultivators, facing each other while emanating an air of fierce competition.
The crowd that surrounded the battle stage sat around and cheered on the two who were about to fight.
A middle-aged man flying above the platform swung one of his hands and shouted, "Let the semi-finals begin!"
The young cultivators who were 20 meters apart instantly clashed and the air around them slightly reverberated from the impact.
The crowd cheerfully stood up and bellowed.
"Wayn! You can do it! Don't give up!"
"Don't let him even injure you, Kreel! He's weaker than you!"
The young boy who was called Wayn instantly retreated after the initial clash with the other young boy.
He had an innocent face, yet it was full of determination and dedication. His eyes gave off a feeling of cordiality.
Red hair draped over his shoulders and his facial features were a remnant of a certain person.
Even though Wayn was at a disadvantage in the initial exchange, his facial expression of having a smile didn't even diminish a bit, instead, it was shining as if he was enjoying it.
The other young boy staggered a little bit as he shook his head, his eyes narrowing to a particular degree.
He had short green hair with a side cut on both ends, one that was common among mercenaries.
Rushing forward, he waved his fists continuing to be aggressive.
"Resembles... He resembles that person a lot..."
In the sky above the crowd, a few hundred meters away from the platform, stood two figures.
Davis and Evelynn floated there as they watched the ensuing battle.
The comment was made by Davis, whereby he continued, "If I'm not wrong, he is the son of Ray Nolan, right?"
"Yes..." Evelynn nodded her head as she looked at Davis, a worried expression could be seen on her face.
Ray Nolan was none other the person who protected Davis when the Royal Capital was ensued in the chaos of rebellion.
Although Davis didn't feel a great amount of gratitude, he did have a good impression on him.
"So he's the one who Diana has set her sights on?"
Evelynn nodded again, but she then hurriedly added, "That boy only met Diana a few times... And each time they met, he was unaware of Diana's identity."
Davis didn't nod or shake his head. He fell into contemplation. He had heard from Evelynn on how these two met.
Diana, who was carefree and liked to travel around the Royal Castle while doing all kinds of mischief accidentally met a boy who rebuked her for her wrongdoings.
Diana had control over her personal guards who could undoubtedly beat the boy into a pulp but didn't do that for some reason.
Instead, she went around with the boy, enjoying various scenery while convincing the boy to do mischief all the same.
But no matter how she tried, she couldn't get him to do what she said.
It was from that time, the interest between the two developed until they started meeting each other alone from time to time as they explored the Royal Capital while Diana sneaked away from her personal guards.
The hidden experts who were secretly guarding her were stumped, not knowing what to do, they reported the matter to Evelynn who was nearby at that time.
Then, Evelynn obviously confronted Diana about the matter and warned her about the consequences.
Diana understood and begged not to tell anyone about this matter, so Evelynn, out of pity, decided to keep this matter as a secret.
Furthermore, she imposed a condition on Diana, telling her not to meet secretly with Wayn Nolan anymore.
Although reluctant, Diana could only agree.
And from that moment, Diana didn't secretly meet up with Wayn but started to bully Evelynn.
Evelynn being an adult she is didn't take the matter to heart and let her do as she pleased.
As long as she could protect Davis's little sister, she didn't mind being mocked by her.
Davis's expression was solemn. When Evelynn saw his expression, she was getting cold feet all the same.
Davis seemed to be angry? She didn't know nor did she have the courage to find out. Besides, she had reneged on the promise she made to Diana!
If Davis was impulsive and beat the boy to a pulp, wouldn't she be hated by Diana for all her life!?
But thinking about it, Diana had reneged on her condition as well, especially by coming to this competition.
No one would believe if someone said that Diana had an interest in the competition, in fact, it came as a surprise to everyone in the Royal Castle.
So, it could be said that she wasn't the one who first reneged on her promise practically.
Thinking like this, Evelynn's nervousness settled down a bit but the more she looked at Davis's expression, the more bad feeling she got.
Meanwhile, Davis who had a solemn expression on his face was thinking, 'Why does this resemble a plot from somewhere I read before?...'
His expression surely turned normal as he chose to stop thinking about it, instead, he sighed, 'Wayn Nolan... You are extremely lucky to gain the favor of a princess, especially a beauty...'
Likely, in a few years, her beauty might reach the level of kingdom toppling since she had inherited the genes of Claire and Logan.
Davis was well aware of this since he was also starting to see Clara's blinding, yet cold beauty.
Besides, although not narcissistic, he knew that he himself was also quite handsome...
Wayn had successfully gained the beauty's favor but could Diana accept mediocrity?
Only time would tell unless the Royal Family groomed him to be the future husband of Diana.
But that was quite unlikely... or so he felt.
