"In any case, I'm planning to return to that place when I reach the Seventh Stage to see if I could enter those mysterious s.p.a.ces," Davis spoke as he elaborated his thoughts.

Indeed, he had certainly planned to visit the Third Layer again upon entering the Seventh Stage in any one of the cultivation systems. This way, he could find the secrets of Fallen Heaven or come in contact with that mysterious ent.i.ty who is like an invisible ticking time bomb strapped behind his back.

Coming in contact with the former will result in an increase of his power while coming in contact with the latter would result in death, in the worst-case scenario.

"Ahh, we understand." Logan nodded his head, "We will accompany you at the time."

"Sure, but don't blame me if disaster strikes us in that mysterious s.p.a.ce. It's not like we're touring around for sightseeing..."

Logan shut his mouth. He really wanted to explore the outer s.p.a.ce in the Third Layer as he really liked adventures but his son had indirectly told him not to go since it might result in his death.

He sighed but then spoke to Claire, "What do you think?"

Claire came back to herself after hearing Davis's explanation, so she promptly nodded her head, "It's better if we listen to his words."

Logan and Claire looked at each other in a knowing light and spoke at the same time, "After all, he doesn't mean to harm us..."

Davis wasn't amused as he understood that they were taking a jab at him for his actions at that time, which almost made them battle to the death.

Although he felt slightly guilty, it remained that the only way to bring an end to that matter was to make things clear and move to the next stage.

His lips curled as he replied with a sneer, "You two weren't straightforward with your feelings, what else can I do other than forcefully making you two stick to each other again?"

"You two even made your children deeply worried and distressed because of this matter, do you two feel no shame?"

Logan and Claire looked away as they indeed had no words refute that fact.

Claire turned red from embarra.s.sment but she then spoke, "You shouldn't have done that but instead talked to us..."

Davis had an exasperated expression on his face, "If soft methods worked, things wouldn't have developed to that point!"

Both Logan and Claire went silent, making the surrounding people who heard their argument turn cold.

Their son, the crown prince was actually the perpetrator? But they did nothing to him? The Crown Prince is that strong?

Such thoughts swirled around their head, and they made a silent note in their minds to not leak this information.

Davis sighed, "If you two still think I what I did was wrong, then go ahead and punish me. I'm willing to be punished..."

Claire panicked a little, "Davis, I... We didn't mean that. You are our son, how can we see you suffer!?"

Davis smiled on hearing his mother's words. It wasn't like he knew this would happen but was glad that they thought this way.

After all, there was a slight difference in how he had viewed them before learning the truth about his transmigration and after the unverified revelation.

"Enough mother, it's better if you punish me, so there are no hard feelings left between us. After all, I understand that I was the one who caused your heart demon to manifest and take possession of you..." Davis replied as he wholeheartedly thought this way.

In a way, the plan he devised could've gone wrong on so many levels, so to say the least, he was prepared for punishments that could affect his life in turn for their permanent reconciliation.

Claire bit her lips as she felt that she had made her son feel guilty of harming his own parents.

This, in turn, caused her to make a decision.

"Well then, I'll bestow your punishment," Claire spoke as she sat straight, reclining on the cold seat.

Logan turned stunned, so was Clara!

She instantly stepped forward and spoke, "Mother, if you're going to punish elder brother then I request to punish me as well. I was in the know and agreed with elder brother's plan!"

At the same time, Logan sent Claire a Soul Transmission, "Claire, what are you doing? Didn't we choose to forgive our son?"

Claire raised her hand and stopped everyone from reacting while her gaze fell on Clara, "Very well, I will punish you after declaring Davis's punishment."

Logan strongly spoke with a frown revealed by his brows, "You can't do this!"

Claire turned to look at Logan, her eyes were devoid of hate but love.

Logan became stunned but then understood. He nodded his head to her inquisitive gaze, which seemed to ask him that if he trusted her.

Claire's lips curved as it turned into a smile. She looked at Davis and spoke, "Your punishment is to accompany us to the Alstriem Family Territory in the future."

Davis's mouth went slightly agape as he became stunned for a moment.

After a short pause, he smiled, "As you wish, mother."

At that time, when he removed the seal from his mother, she told him to not interfere with her revenge but now, she gave him a punishment to accompany them.

To Davis, it couldn't get any better as he could protect them with his powers, instead of secret tailing them to protect behind their backs like he originally planned.

This wasn't punishment but a restriction. In the future, he would have to travel with them together to bring Claire justice. This also had its pros and cons.

Claire then turned to look at Clara, "As for you, the punishment is to take care of the Royal Castle during our absence."

"Yes..." Clara blinked and then her face turned a little sad.

She had wanted to explore the First Layer sooner but now it looked like she was tasked with house-sitting; to hold down the fort.

"You have to especially take care of that troublemaker Diana, as well as give special care to Edward."

Clara nodded her head in agreement, but inwardly, she really felt that it was a punishment.

Logan laughed as he was satisfied with Claire's decision to 'punish' them.

He turned to look at Davis in an amused light, "Leaving that matter behind, you seemed to be getting ready for another marriage, I a.s.sume?"

Davis turned stunned as he saw his father wink, "What!?"

'Marriage? What the h.e.l.l were they talking about?'

"What are you talking about, father?" He confusedly asked.

Logan's amused expression disappeared but was then replaced with a hint of goodwill, "Davis, you can't turn out to be like me. If you did it, then put an end to that matter by taking a clear decision. You can't hurt Evelynn just like how I inadvertently hurt Claire..."

"Wait, wait, wait! What did I do for you to even think like this?" Davis still confusedly spoke.

Logan turned confused as he blinked. His son who told him to take responsibility for his past mistakes denies responsibility now?

He didn't have a son like that...

He looked at Claire with a confused look on his face.

Claire on noticing Logan's expression, glanced at Davis to ask, "Davis, didn't you bring a woman named Mo Mingzhi into the Royal Castle?"

Davis narrowed his eyes and delivered, "Yes..."

At the same time, it suddenly dawned on him.

Claire blinked but then continued, "When the castle maids you a.s.signed asked her about her ident.i.ty, she seemed to reply that she is your woman with a proud expression on her face."

Davis's face twitched.

So that's what had happened.
