Chapter 3757 Shattering Her Ideal Life

"Yes, the perimeter is fully secured, and the captured beasts are in control. No one could enter our area if they're not Empyreans, and even if one does appear, we'll swiftly take care of them."

Yotan confidently answered before she appeared like she had second thoughts.

"But of course, if it's a supreme genius like Legion Master, then we'd be in danger if they're an Immortal Emperor."

"…"

Davis paused before he nodded.

"Yotan is also a supreme genius, so I'm relieved."

"Legion Master… I'm honored, but I'm not a supreme genius like Bylai and the others. They could cross eight levels, but I-"

Yotan's voice was wry.

"Haha." Davis couldn't help but laugh suddenly, "Are you seriously comparing yourself with my wives?"

"…!"

Yotan stood straight and lowered her head, "I apologize if I have offended you, Legion Master."

"Heh…" Davis chuckled as he looked into the distance, "Back in the Grand Beginnings Continent, even crossing four levels would be considered a supreme genius. After we entered the First Haven World, crossing seven levels in the Immortal King Stage was considered a supreme genius. Now, with the advent of the Candidates, crossing seven levels in the Immortal Emperor Stage is considered a supreme genius, yet you think you're not worthy to be a part of such a group?"

He glared at Yotan with a side eye, causing her to look embarrassed.

"…"

She bit her lips, shaking her head.

"It is thanks to Legion Master's benevolence that I have become this powerful, but… it is not enough. As the Legion Commander of the Reaper Soul Legion and the incumbent Head of the Battle Department of Davis's Family, I should be… extremely strong… strong enough to at least protect everyone else other than Legion Master. We are your sword and shield, so please use as you see fit."

"I don't intend to use the Reaper Soul Legion. I intend for you to grow along with me."

"That's where we find ourselves shackled in more debt to you, Legion Master."

Yotan's voice suddenly raised a few octaves, her pupils trembling.

"You have kept your word in making us strong, but we feel we haven't repaid anything as we rarely ever stood on the frontlines. Rather than us shedding our blood for you, it almost feels like-"

"Yotan." Davis turned to look at Yotan, "Why do you try so hard? Other than following me to death as you promised when you joined as the Legion Commander, why do you feel the need to stand on the frontlines and shed your blood in order to prove you're protecting this family when you're already doing plenty good by keeping the city and mansion secure at all times while I'm away?"

"…"

Yotan went silent. Her bosoms heaved before she lowered her head.

"Excluding my responsibility, I want to share life and death with all of you until the end because I personally adore this family. In these dangerous times, it is all the more required that I shed my blood and soul to make sure all of the members of the Davis Family survive, Legion Master."

Yotan slowly knelt and cupped her hands as she looked at him, her eyes full of faith and devotion towards him.

"…"

Davis raised his hand and grabbed his forehead, sighing lightly.

"It's my fault… I should've never put you in this position that made you carry a burden that shouldn't be yours to begin with."

"Legion Master, you…"

Yotan's eyes widened. Her lips pursed as she felt hurt to hear those words, causing her to look down in shame.

She felt the Legion Master was surely disappointed in her inability to grow as strong as the others quickly.

"I shouldn't have posted you in a position that requires sacrificing your life in exchange for another all the time if I knew that I was going to fall in love with you."

"Legion Master, please give me another chance… I will meet your expecta-"

Yotan raised her head and wanted to get a second chance. However, her words were cut short when she realized the latter part of his sentence, causing her to widen her eyes at him in a shocking manner.

"Are you that dense, or are you acting oblivious to my emotions and burying your own in order to feel at home because you're afraid that I will stop depending on you?"

Davis's brows raised as he asked her, but eventually sighed and reached out to her, making her stand up as he patted her shoulders.

"My dear Yotan. I don't want you to shed your blood and soul. Your devotion to this family's safety has moved me, but even before that, I always kept an eye on you. I was even more impressed when apparently my fake death moved you to act against Evelynn and the others as you looked down on them."

"That-"

Needless to say, by this time, Yotan's face flushed like an apple.

She couldn't believe the Legion Master confessed to her, much less reminded her of one of the most embarrassing moments of her life when she revealed her emotions and truly looked down upon the big three because they treated Davis dying like it was some kind of trivial moment.

Davis smiled as he saw his Yotan unable to produce some words.

For a moment, he wondered if the love was one-sided as he wasn't using his Heart Intent, but it seemed like Yotan was only hiding it deep and crushing any strange ideas that came her way until she heard them from his mouth.

Right now, Yotan couldn't even control her smile, much less the blush that overtook her face.

"…"

Nyoran gawked. An amused smile appeared on her face as she watched the drama unfolding in front of her with apt attention.

"Good girl." Davis raised his hand and patted Yotan's head, "Our scandal would be big in the Reaper Soul Legion if you continue to want to be a Legion Commander as the higher-up would be intimate with the person on the lower strata, but I don't care if you still want to be a Legion Commander despite the consequences. The only wish I have for you is to not make any sacrificial moves for the sake of the family but for yourself and perhaps your sisters."

"Le-Le-Legion… Master…" Yotan's lips quivered, "Please tell me you're kidding…"

"…"

Davis blinked. Despite her asking that, she looked like if he said yes, her world might crumble.

He understood that she was standing on the precipice of following her ideal life or love life, which she had tried to suppress for so long, so he wanted to make it clear once and for all.

"No, I love you and want you, Yotan. You cannot escape after coming this far."

His expression was straight and gentle as he lowered his hand and pulled her closer, pressing his lips against hers.

"…!"

The soft feeling of their lips washed over Yotan's body, making her understand.

Those shackles that she tied to herself that she must prove her capacity as a commander in order to be taken seriously and stand proudly by his side were broken, making her eyes finally see that she hadn't needed to suppress her emotions for so long.
