Chapter 102: The Scared Evelyn

"Of Course His Highness needed you. He looked very upset when he noticed your absence. So he sent me to bring you to him immediately. Come now. Hurry up. Don’t make him more angry."

Evelyn’s eyes went wider with fear when she heard Hannah’s words, especially when she saw such a serious expression on Hannah’s face.

"I should hurry up then."

She whispered as she picked her fur coat, wore it hurriedly and then left the room in hurry. Behind her, Hannah was surprised by her speed and had to run to walk by her side.

Seeing Evelyn’s panic filled eyes, Hannah suddenly felt slightly guilty and opened her mouth to speak

"Evelyn actually..."

However, before even she could finish, Evelyn interrupted as she continued to walk in hurry.

"Hannah, not now. We will talk later."

"But ..."

Hannah again opened her mouth to speak but by the time she could continue they had already reached the chambers and she could only see Evelyn striding inside the prince’s chambers.

Looking at the huge gates, she suddenly bit her lips to stop her smile. Though it was funny, did she do it too much?

She just wished that Evelyn won’t be angry with her.

On the other hand, Evelyn stepped inside Regan’s chambers and saw him, Rex and Elias seated around the dining table.

"Your Highness..."

Even before she had called out, Regan was already looking at her and his face didn’t look good. Remembering Hannah’s words, Evelyn felt more and more panic surging inside her heart.

Did she make the prince angry again? They had just started to talk normally only a few days back. Now she again made him angry.

Evelyn was very disappointed in herself. She should have been careful. As she wondered if the prince would again start to behave so coldly with her, Evelyn felt a pain inside her chest and almost felt like crying.

She lowered her head and said sincerely.

"I apologize, Your Highness."

Regan looked at her lowered head with an expressionless face and said coldly

"You should."

Hearing his cold voice, Evelyn’s heart trembled and she felt her eyes filling up. She wondered what she should say or do that would reduce the prince’s anger.

On the other hand, Regan frowned when he saw her standing like a statue for such a long time. When a few more moments passed, he finally said

"What are you standing there for? Come here and sit. The food will get cold."

Evelyn raised her head almost swiftly and looked at him who had started to talk normally so early. She looked at him in confusion, suddenly when she was unable to see any coldness on his face.

On the other hand, Regan noticed the wetness of her eyes and stood up from the chair he was sitting on immediately. Walking towards her, he asked her with a deep frown on his forehead

"Why are you crying? Who made you upset? Did someone bully you?"

The last question made Regan unconsciously clench his fists. He had promised himself that from now on, he would not leave anyone alive who would hurt Evelyn.

Even if the person standing in front of him would be the King himself, he wouldn’t care about the consequences.

Elias and Rex were also looking at Evelyn with concern.

But Evelyn was still confused. She looked at the prince carefully before she asked with hesitation.

"Is His Highness not angry with me?"

"I am, of course. How do you expect me not to get angry with you when you didn’t eat much in the morning and even missed the lunch? Are you inviting death by starving yourself like this when you have just recovered?"

Regan’s expressionless face returned and his eyes were again cold as she scolded Evelyn.

He had not seen her at the lunch and had thought that she might have it with her friends. He had seen her talking to Elias about her friends and knew that she had been excited to meet them. That’s why he didn’t call her and reluctantly had his lunch without her.

However, when during the dinner as well, instead of her, Hannah stepped inside the chambers with the tray in her hands, he couldn’t stop himself and finally asked about her whereabouts.

Imagine his surprise when he came to know that Evelyn was deeply asleep inside her chambers. But he was upset when he realized that she didn’t have lunch so he asked Hannah to go and wake her up.

Evelyn was still staring at him silently while Regan was waiting for her to tell him who made her cry.

Seeing that she didn’t answer his question, he asked again

"Now tell me who made you cry?"

Evelyn opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. But she didn’t need to speak as Rex spoke behind them.

"It is you."

Regan frowned as he turned to look at his brother. Rex smiled as he looked at his frown and continued

"You are so hard on her, Regan. Who scolds a girl like this? You scared her with your cold face."

Elias silently agreed with Rex. Indeed, his master was too harsh on Evelyn. Even on their way to the border, the way he had behaved with Evelyn had scared her. Her face had been so pale during the entire journey. So for the first time, he was not on his master’s side.

When Regan heard this, he was slightly baffled. Was this the reason behind Evelyn’s tears?

He turned to look at Evelyn who not speaking at all and suddenly felt guilty.

"Evelyn...I am sorry. I was just worried that you...I didn’t mean to scare you."

Evelyn felt guiltier than Regan when she saw him like this and heard his words. She immediately shook her head and said

"No, Your Highness is not at fault. I just ...I came running here when Hannah told me that Your Highness is waiting for me. On the way, I suddenly felt pain in my shoulder so my eyes went teary."

Evelyn lied.

She didn’t remember the last time she lied but she didn’t want the prince to feel guilty. She just couldn’t see him like this. And she also couldn’t tell him that she had actually misunderstood.

Now she seemed to realize that Hannah had actually been trying to calm down her but she didn’t even allow her to speak.

She actually felt that she had just behaved like a fool.

But what could she do?

She seems to realize that whenever it was something that concerned the prince she would always forget to use her brain.
