Divine Emperor of Death

Davisʼs residence, his home.

Evelynn and Natalya entered the house as they walked past the door before the former closed the door with a wave of her hand. Once they stepped into the house, Natalya stiffened as she looked around with her black pupils.

She didnʼt even dare to turn her head around, afraid that she might be rude.

”Welcome, Natalya...” Evelynn forced a smile as she turned back and said.

”Ah? Yes...”

Natalya became startled for a second before she replied.

Looking at Natalyaʼs stiff posture, Evelynnʼs forced smile became a genuine one as she giggled.

Even she felt awkward being with Natalya, however, for the sake of her husband, she felt that she had to take the helm and make her feel comfortable here even though she exactly didnʼt.

They walked towards the hall before Evelynn gestured for Natalya to be seated on a couch.

Natalya did not dare to disobey and instantly kept her butt over the couch but then abruptly stood up as she felt that she had immensely displayed a rude action to Evelynn.

How can she be seated before the first wife!? It was clearly a violation of household decorum!

Evelynn who had just moved to the opposite couch, widened her eyes to her sudden action before she blinked, ”What happened?

”I... Iʼm sorry.” Natalya tried to explain herself, ”I know that it is my wrong to be seated before the first wife could...”

”Wait!” Evelynn raised her hand before she inclined her head in amusement.

”Are you trying to turn me into a villainess?”

Natalya continuously shook both her hands and head, ”No! You misunderstood-”

”Youʼre the one who is misunderstanding me...” Evelynn interrupted her again with raised hands, ”There are no such rules in this place...”

Natalya became stunned.

Did that mean that she would not have to give tremendous respect to the first wife?

Bow by bending her waist almost completely with clasped hands whenever they met?

Not heeding the first wifeʼs words and could act freely as she saw fit?

Many questions like this simultaneously exploded in her head, almost making her speechless in disbelief.

She couldnʼt subconsciously help but ask, ”What do you mean that there are no rules?”

If there are no rules in a harem, wouldnʼt that end in a disaster? At least, that was what she heard or read when she read classics on romance stories.

Evelynn sighed at this to be ʼlittle sisterʼ of hers.

Perhaps, even she might have reacted the same if she was in her position. After all, she had once feared that she would be reduced to a mere serving concubine if Davis married Princess Shirley in the past.

Feeling pity for a fellow soul, she patiently explained in a few words.

”As long as you donʼt offend, aggravate, or betray me, him and his family, there is nothing that you cannot do... Iʼm moderately sure our man would say so himself...”

ʼThis...ʼ Natalya became taken aback as she didnʼt think that the household rules would be this relaxed.

No rules? A few restrictions?

Only after a few seconds did she felt that perhaps that there was no need to be needlessly afraid of the first wife. Just like the first wife said, she didnʼt do anything wrong, hence, there was no need for her to cower all day long.

Natalya bit her lips. She abruptly realized that the first wife was taking initiative to make her feel comfortable, make her feel at home. She didnʼt know why but could only guess that it was because of Davisʼs instructions.

ʼIn that case...ʼ Natalya clenched her fists before she gathered her courage, ”Can I call you big sister?”

Evelynn blinked as she did not expect these words from her. She was given the title ʼbig sisterʼ, just for her seniority?

She didnʼt think that this would even happen in the first place since she heard from Davis that Natalya had the potential to reach the Ninth Stage as long as she had minimum required resources and Cultivation Manual.

Thatʼs why she instinctively felt that she was inferior to Natalya in cultivation and even stature.

But now, Natalya wants to call her big sister?

Evelynnʼs lips widened as she let out a smile, ”Of course, little sister...”

Natalyaʼs pupils dilated as she became shocked!

ʼLittle sister?ʼ

Didnʼt that mean that she was acknowledged as the second wife even before marriage!?

She instantly felt assured and felicitous because she was afraid that she would be mocked and blamed for being a witch; a witch who seduced another womanʼs husband.

Evelynn was well aware that she would have to live with Natalya from now on... Then what other actions were there other than to make their relationship amicable as sisters tied to the same man?

She unhesitatingly called Natalya as her little sister, choosing to prioritize his feelings over her uncomfortable feelings of sharing her man with a second woman.

Besides, she was never going to miss this kind of opportunity since she felt that it was only her rightful place.

In any case, she felt that it would only be a matter of time before she no longer felt uncomfortable as she could feel the bitter pain slowly slip away from her heart.

The last time when she poured all her emotions out to Davis when she found that he had been intimate with another woman was her breaking point. From then on, she slowly felt her uncomfortable feelings fade away with time.

Currently, it only made her feel awkward and a little uncomfortable, otherwise, she wouldnʼt have gone out of her way to bring Natalya into the residence from outside.

Evelynn smiled, ”Even though there are no rules, there are many duties and formalities that you would have to fulfill but letʼs think about that after your marriage with him. Iʼd like to wait here for him, so, in the meantime, weʼll talk over some tea...”

”Thatʼs great...” Natalya echoed as she increasingly felt heartened.

She was not bullied on the first day even when her man left to tackle an important scenario. This made her feel content and relaxed. She sat and waited for some tea to be brewed.

Evelynn carried on with brewing tea on the pot as she sat opposite to Natalya. In front of them was the table that separated them.

While brewing, she caught sight of Natalya starting to get fidgety from all the silence. She inwardly laughed and abruptly opened her mouth to ask a question.

”Do you know how to cook?”

Natalya blinked before she nodded her head, ”Yes... I know many varieties of dishes...”

Hearing her keep on talking about cooking, Evelynn smiled as she knew that cooking could be one of her hobbies, but hearing at the list of dishes, it could be seen that she did not know how to effectively prepare Fourth Stage Magical Beasts dishes and above.

This meant that cooking could be one of her old hobbies that she lost interest in, perhaps after a certain matter that happened to her in the past.

Evelynn felt that it could be most likely related to being kidnapped by a cultivator skilled in illusions. She knew Natalyaʼs story in the back of her hand since she had Davis once again recount the details of her past to her.

She didnʼt feel that she was overstepping her bounds since she felt that it was her right to know and Davis didnʼt hold back, telling everything about Natalya to her.

”Then, did you cook for him at least once?”

She chuckled and asked after Natalya ended her short session of explanation.
