Chapter 146
The Golden-Horned Wyvern landed down in a grand fashion, awe-inspiring the onlookers as well as the Cauldon Family members .
Davis felt that this has grand entrance had gone way overboard but didn't blame the Golden-Horned Wyvern for it, so he gritted his teeth and got down solemnly, well prepared to get insulted .
It didn't even take a few seconds before the elders of the Cauldon Family came buzzing out like flies with smiling faces .
"Welcome back Prince Davis, we've been expecting you for quite some time now . " An elder said as he bowed .
The other elders also bowed and greeted Davis .
Davis nodded solemnly, but his heart was beating disorderedly . Even he couldn't forgive his mistake that easily, what else could be said about her own family .
Evelynn jumped down from the Wyvern, and her appearance became visible to the elders .
The moment their gaze and sense landed on Evelynn, their faces became incomparably ugly to behold . But it quickly reverted as they kept their smiles back .
One of the elders quickly uttered, "Come back inside, we'll continue to talk there!"
Evelynn nodded and followed that elder back to the manor .
The other elders hurriedly surrounded Davis .
Davis froze seeing the numerous elders surround him, and resigned himself to get hammered down .
"Prince Davis, don't be disheartened, let's go inside and talk!"
"Yes, it isn't good if we keep you waiting outside . "
The others elders all agreed and nodded there heads with a forced smile on their faces .
'They're unexpectedly giving me face by not beating me up right outside . . . Time and time again, this really demonstrates the power of the Royal Family . " Davis sighed while nodding his head . He then followed them inside .
In the Hall, Evelynn arrived and stood there silently without displaying a single expression on her face .
Numerous youths of the Cauldon Family who noticed the commotion outside also arrived at the Hall and stood around the corners to view the spectacle .
When they looked at Evelynn, some of them felt pity, while some of them gloated secretly, but none spoke a word to her, including her so-called cousins in the Cauldon Family, who were obviously indifferent to her status .
A figure quickly ran through the crowd, and hurriedly knelt down while crying like a fool, "Uwaaa!"
Evelynn's expression changed, she could no longer keep her indifferent face . She instantly lifted up Maisy and hugged her in a tight embrace .
Davis entered and saw the spectacle, his nervous heart relaxed for some reason . Maybe it was because he saw someone care for her .
Grinning slightly, he was happy for her and adopted an optimistic mindset, 'Heh! If they're gonna attack, then I'll just treat it as a Body Tempering Cultivation session!'
Suddenly, the crowd withdrew their hushed voices and went silent as a figure arrived with its eyes wide open, its face incomparably worried . Only bawling sounds could be heard from the middle of the hall .
The Family Head approached the sound as the crowd parted while his face turned increasingly worse . When the family head's gaze landed on Evelynn, he froze as his pupils dilated .
Extending his hands, he slowly walked towards Evelynn with a dumbfounded face . Various emotions ran through his heart, compelling his legs to go closer .
His hands trembled violently when he saw his daughter's severed arm .
Erupting with a huge anger on his face, he pointed towards Davis, "You!! . . . "
"Family Head, we advise you to take actions considering the future of our family . " Before he could even say anything, an elder beside him instantly interrupted with a solemn face .
"That's right, we advise you to think about our family's future before taking any decision!"
The family head froze, his face stifled with anger . He turned to look at the elders beside him while his eyes turned bloodshot .
It took a while before he calmed himself and glanced at the elders one by one .
The elders trembled a little with their faces steeled, feeling the family head's stern gaze, but they somehow held their ground .
The family head kept nodding his head as he turned to look at Davis, but before he could even say anything, he was interrupted again by the elders .
"Prince Davis, we are sure that some kind of mishap must've happened during the travel, but you don't need to take it to heart . "
"Right, mishaps occur all the time, and this was just an unfortunate accident . "
"Don't be disheartened, just treat it as a bad dream . " An elder said as he glanced in the direction of Evelynn .
"Right, if the prince feels remorseful, he will just marry one of our grand-daughters . " Another elder agreed with the previous elder as he had a profound smile on his face .
"Well said, the prince is a responsible person, and will adhere to the words given by the Royal Family . " The other elders took some sides and hurriedly agreed while they kept nodding their heads .
"Good! Good! You all! Very Good!!" The Family Head smiled with a murderous gaze . He felt like killing these bastards who were one generation above him, but above all, he felt disappointment in his heart .
He worked his life for the family and all he gets are a group of power-hungry backstabbing elders?
He suddenly started to laugh out loud, "I wondered why you people never try to listen to my words? I wasn't sure, but now, I understand . "
Flicking his sleeves with a harrumph, he approached his daughter with a sad expression on his face . He held her bandaged arms and felt like crying .
Plopping down on his knees, he moved her bandaged arm and placed it on his forehead, "Evelynn, father has disappointed you . . . "
He felt regret! All he wanted was his daughter to have a bright future, but his daughter came back to him as a cripple .
He knew that using the excuse, that she is a cripple, these old foxes have spontaneously decided on sending their grand-daughters to be the bride for the prince .
He should've expected it, or rather one should say that he placed a lot of trust on these old foxes .
Seeing her father who was a strict individual in her childhood, now, purely care for her, losing all pretence and the bearing of a Family Head, she felt like bawling out her emotions but somehow calmed herself down .
She held his shoulders with her right hand and shook her head as she smiled, "You have not disappointed me, father . "
Evan Cauldon glanced up and felt even more guilt, thinking that his daughter was such an angel .
Evelynn lifted up her face and looked up at the spectacle which looked disgusting to behold .
While she was consoling her father, the elders were busy introducing their grand-daughters to Davis .
"Evelynn, can I kill these old bastards?" An incomparably cold voice resounded out, shocking the entire family to the core .
