Chapter 152

Logan sighed and explained about her, "She is Violet, a commoner I found really enchanting at that time when I roamed the Loret Empire . I made love with her once, but didn't expect to get her pregnant with my child . . . "

Violet blushed on hearing his bold statement . She grabbed the bedsheet and hid her face in embarrassment as she thought, 'What kind of speech is he giving in front of his child?'

"Hmmm . . . Mother-in . . . Oh, wait a minute . You two aren't married yet!" Davis was about to ask another question when he noticed a certain point .

He rubbed his chin and contemplated loudly, "What should I call you?"

Violet's face changed, she let go of the bedsheet and clenched her fists weakly before she braced herself for receiving the upcoming humiliation and insult .

She naturally knew about the Royal Family which arrogantly looks down upon the commoners . Now that she's here luckily through a stroke of fortune, she knew that she was bound to be misunderstood and alienated .

"From the moment I've entered, you've been quiet the entire time, Miss Violet . Say something . . . " Davis smiled and said gently .

Violet looked at him in shock and took a few moments to realise his intent . It was totally different from what she expected .

She clenched her teeth and mustered her courage, "My name . . . is Violet . Pleased to meet you, Crown Prince Davis!" Her voice was meek . It looked as if she tried her best to not embarrass herself .

Davis chucked inwardly thinking that his mother-in-law was surprisingly adorable . This scene removed him of any notion that this mother and son might be plotting something behind his back .

If this were an act, then he would really have to admire her skills .

"Miss Violet, I'll get straight to the point . Why haven't you still married my father?" Davis asked with a smile on his face as he felt it would be cruel to treat this woman coldly .

Violet went silent . There were too many things she was afraid of, not to mention that the Loret Family had once faced extinction during the rebellion .

"Why didn't you inform my father that you have his child?" Davis continued to question while Logan frowned but didn't stop . He also wanted to know the answer to this question .

A few moments of silence reigned in the room, causing Davis to frown slightly, 'Is this topic supposed to be forbidden?' He thought .

Anything could have happened in this 17 years from the time she birthed Logan's child . For example, she could have made love with another person . A second later, he felt like he stepped on a landmine .

"He left . . . " Suddenly, a sad voice weakly echoed causing the both of them to be startled .

"You mean my father left you?" Davis asked as he strode forward a little .

Violet suddenly returned to her senses and realised what she had uttered . A single tear dropped down on her skirt, followed by a shower of tears continuously flowing out from her eyes .

"Eh?" Violet was just as startled from her sudden outburst, she quickly tried to wipe away her tears .

"No . . . He didn't . . . " Violet quickly replied as she kept rubbing on her eyes with a smile on her face .

"Miss Violet, you don't have to be afraid of anything . If you want your son to live a happy life, then you must be true to yourself . Please tell the truth . " Davis uttered as he used her son to make her cough up the truth . He naturally understood that she knew her place as a commoner, making her unable to blame the Emperor for his wrongs .

Violet shuddered on hearing his words . Her misty eyes gazed at Davis to see him still have a gentle smile on his face which vaguely resembled her own son . It quietly gave her some courage as her mind subconsciously thought he was helping her .

She took a few moments to stop her spilling tears, and looked at Davis with a determined gaze as if asking, 'Can I?'

Davis slightly nodded, prompting her to slightly glance at Logan before looking at him again, "I was working in a luxurious restaurant when I met him . I was smitten with him at that time, and I . . . I didn't stop his advances . I thought he loved me . . . But the next day, he left as if nothing happened . . . "

"I didn't even know that he was a Prince at that time . I searched for him a few weeks before I realised that I was pregnant with his child . I couldn't find him, so I worked hard on raising the child . I named him Ernest . When my child was 2 years old, I once again saw him . " She glanced at Logan again and bit her lips, "But he was with another woman . . . Who was way stronger, beautiful, elegant than me . At that sight, I lost all confidence, especially when I learned that he was a prince, I left without saying a word . "

Logan blinked at her words, not knowing what to say .

She continued, "This is something I chose myself and not any others fault . "

Few moments passed silently . Davis held his chin and knew that this was another case of unrequited love .

Looking at Davis, she suddenly uttered, "When I heard that you were a genius who shook the continent, I didn't feel happy or sad . I felt jealousy out of all emotions . I cried out why it wasn't my son who shook the Grand Sea Continent . . . " A guilty expression became visible on her face, "That's when my son who was fatherless, realised that he was the current Emperor's son . He quickly swore that he will get me justice but I forbid him to do so . "

"So your son broke your word and brought you here?" Davis felt nothing but pity for her but he wanted to know more about this matter .

"You could say he was forced to . . . " Violet uttered wryly .

Davis narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean?"

"There was this man who wanted me to be his woman . I declined all his advances, but he later poisoned me to death slowly . He was ruthless just because he couldn't attain me . "

"Out of rage, my son killed him and fled, carrying me to an Inn that was nearby the Royal Castle before he barged into the Royal Castle, proving his identity first before getting me treated . "

Logan nodded his head while looking at Davis, attesting to her last statement .

'Clever . . . ' Davis also nodded his head in satisfaction . Looks like his elder brother was certainly not a fool .
