Chapter 118: Rex Questions Evelyn

The two guards brought a man to the castle’s door.

As soon as he was there, Travis walked to him and bowed his head as he said

"Sir Arthur, I apologize for the inconvenience you have faced."

This was the first time Regan had heard that man’s name.

He and Rex both looked at Arthur and Arthur was also looking around. His eyes only stopped when they found Regan.

They narrowed slightly and shone with coldness. Regan didn’t look any different...especially when Arthur asked

"Where is she?"

He knew very well who Arthur was talking about. However, he stayed silent, pretending that he never heard him.

Travis looked between both of them in confusion and asked Arthur

"Sir Arthur, who are you talking about?"

Arthur glared at Regan who was not responding and finally looked at Travis.

"My wife. Minster Travis. It was my wife who I had been looking for all this while. Due to some circumstances, we have been separated. I have found her in this castle and she works here. I would be grateful if you could ask Prince Regan to present her in front of me. I just want to take her with me, never to bother him again."

Travis was surprised on hearing the long information. But soon he composed himself. If she worked here then there should be no problem with completing Arthur’s wish.

Thinking this, Travis then looked at Regan and Rex and opened his mouth to say

"Your Highness, Could you please help us with this? Please call Sir Arthur’s wife..."

"She is my slave."

Regan said coldly as he looked at Arthur. As much as he didn’t like to call Evelyn a slave, he knew that he needed to because he couldn’t let her be taken away after seeing whatever happened in the last few hours.

Only God knew what this man would do to Evelyn.

Arthur swiftly turned to look at Regan with rage-filled eyes. He strode towards him and stared hard into Regan’s calm and cold eyes.

"Your Highness, I would advise you not to say anything rubbish about my wife."

At his words, Regan merely raised his eyebrows and said

"Rubbish? You dare to talk to me this way. Have you forgotten that you are still standing in my castle? And the matter of taking Evelyn away...forget about it. She is my slave. I have bought her so I have all the rights to her."

Arthur was fuming with rage seeing the way Regan was talking to him.

No one had ever dared to talk to him like that! Yes, he had used various schemes to reach where he was today but once he achieved what he had wanted, he had never let anyone look down on him.

Regan was just crossing his bottom line.

He opened his mouth to counter Regan but just at that moment, a maid came running there and said

"Your Highness...Lady Evelyn..."

Arthur and Regan swiftly turned to look at the maid.

Regan immediately stepped forward to go to his chambers but when he saw that Arthur was trying to follow him, he instantly pushed Arthur two steps away.

Arthur had not expected this move and was furious about being pushed away.

Regan didn’t even give him the chance to say anything. He looked at Travis and said coldly

"You have your guest with you. Now get out of my castle."

Travis was offended but didn’t dare to say anything. He only grabbed Arthur’s arm and tried to convince him

"Sir Arthur, we should leave."

Arthur glared at Travis and said sharply

"My wife is inside. I would not leave without her."

Travis sighed and suddenly leaned down and whispered something in Arthur’s ear.

Arthur still didn’t look very much convinced but he seemed to know that he didn’t have any option.

He, for the last time, glared at Regan before he finally turned around and left with Travis and the Royal soldiers.

Rex stayed there until the castle doors closed and after ensuring that everyone had left, he also went to Regan’s chambers.

This time, Rex didn’t stop outside and instead directly went inside the chambers.

There he saw Regan seated on the bed and comforting Evelyn who was breathing heavily and her face was pale.

It seemed that she just had a nightmare and Regan was trying to comfort her.

Rex waited. He waited until Evelyn had calmed down. After she had drunk water, he without any hesitation, asked her

"Evelyn, who is Arthur to you?"

Evelyn who was on the bed stiffened instantly when she heard Regan’s question.

Seeing this, Regan turned around and looked at Rex.

"Rex, we will talk later."

"No, Regan!"

Rex said as he stepped closer to the bed.

He looked at Evelyn’s lowered head as he continued

"Evelyn, there is nothing that seems wrong to me in Arthur. In fact, he seems to be worried for you when he was outside. He looked as if he would kill anyone for you."

Rex could see that Regan was very angry at his words but he was saying what he saw. He had been observing Arthur very closely and he didn’t find anything wrong with him.

"He seems to be in love with you, Evelyn. He cares for you. Then why are you so scared of him?"

"Enough, Rex."

Regan said finally. He stood up from the bed and walked to him.

"Leave. We will talk later."

He said to Rex as calmly as he could. However, Rex also wanted to have answers to his questions.

He didn’t move even a little and silently looked at Evelyn. Regan was frustrated to see him like this and couldn’t help but say

"Rex, sometimes what you see is not always true. You only saw him for a few moments and you believe that he is a good person?"

Rex didn’t know but Regan remembered the evil grin on Arthur’s face as he had been looking at trembling Evelyn’s back then inside the room.

At that moment, there was no care or worry inside his eyes.

"That’s why I wish to know what is wrong with him, Regan. Do you think that you have sent him away and it ends here? He will come back. The next time, he will come with a Royal order. What will you do then?"
