Chapter 162: The Furious Arthur

Chapter 162: The Furious Arthur

The next morning, when the carriage stopped outside Royal Palace, Evelyn was still stiff all over. But she had a calm expression on her face as if she pretending to be strong.

Rex and Regan were also inside the carriage.

After it stopped, both of them stepped out first and Regan stretched his hand out to help Evelyn. Evelyn stared at the hand for a moment before placing her own in his and then stepped out of the carriage.

Her beautiful gown made her look lovely. It was slightly surreal for Evelyn because she still couldn’t believe that she had married the prince. Fortunately, this has changed nothing.

At least except for the clothes she wore.

Since she was to pretend as the prince’s wife, she couldn’t wear those simple dresses she wore as a slave. Her clothes were to make her look like a princess who was married to Royal Prince.

When Regan signed her to put her hand on his arm, she did so though a little hesitantly. Being so closer to the prince made her slightly nervous. But she still put a calm expression on her face hiding all her nervousness.

"Let’s go."

Rex whispered and the three of them moved towards Royal Court.

Even when they were only outside the Royal Court, Evelyn could hear the voices of the people. It indicated that there were not any fewer people inside. She swallowed as she continued walking because the prince didn’t stop.

Arthur was always looking towards the entrance of the Royal Court...as if he knew that she was about to step inside the Royal Court.

And when Evelyn appeared, he was not surprised at all. But his eyes shone with something very intense. His gaze didn’t move away from Evelyn at all.

However, a deep frown marred his forehead when he noticed that Evelyn was holding Regan’s arm.

Rage filled his eyes and he almost stood up from his seat to walk towards them to move Evelyn away from Regan when the Royal guard announced the arrival of the Emperor.

Arthur came out of his trance and controlled himself somehow. His hands were clenched tightly to form fists and his knuckles were completely white as he bowed his head to welcome the Emperor.

It took Arthur a lot of effort to not tear Regan into shreds. The years away from Evelyn had only increased his possessiveness and he couldn’t tolerate any man touching her.

Regan and Rex had not reached their seats yet so they stopped wherever they were when Derrick stepped inside the Royal Court and bowed their heads.

Evelyn looked at Regan and followed him.

Derrick glanced at the three of them for only a moment but it was enough for him to notice Evelyn’s hand on his son’s arm. The same frown Arthur had on his forehead now graced Derrick’s but it was for a different reason.

But Derrick walked towards the throne without saying anything with a deep frown on his forehead.

"The subjects can take their seats."

He said coldly and frowned more deeply when he saw Regan walking towards his seat with the girl holding his arm. Derrick had a guess that she was the same slave and if she was, how could she sit by Regan’s side?

Hence, he said coldly before Evelyn could seat on Regan’s seat.

"Regan, she can’t sit here. As a slave, her place is below."

Evelyn’s heart was pounding inside her chest when she heard the king’s cold voice. She had never raised her head to look at him but his cold voice was enough to scare her out of her wits.

She was horrified when the prince still didn’t leave her hand. For a moment, she wanted to leave his hand and climb down the stairs.

If the prince didn’t obey, then wouldn’t the King be angry at him?

Evelyn’s eyes were suddenly filled with tears but Regan held her hand firmly that even if she wished to leave his hand, she couldn’t do so.

Regan looked at his father calmly and even had a polite smile on his lips as he asked

"Your Majesty, Evelyn is no longer a slave."

Derrick’s lips were pressed in a thin line and he realized that Arthur’s words were true. He looked at his son who just accepted that he had lied yesterday and still wanted to say that Evelyn still couldn’t sit there.

Even if she was not a slave any longer, even an ordinary citizen couldn’t sit beside a prince.

However, before he could say anything, Regan continued his unfinished words and said

"And as my wife, it is Evelyn’s right to sit beside me."

Gasps full of shock could be heard inside the Royal Court. Evelyn’s head stayed lowered since she had entered the court.

However, she was still able to feel that burning gaze on herself and she knew very well who it belonged to.

But this time she could hear his voice as well which boomed inside the Royal Court

"I dare you to say that again!"

Evelyn swallowed and her neck and forehead were suddenly covered with sweat. But she didn’t even look towards him.

Regan, however, turned to look at Arthur with the same calm smile and even said

"Since Sir Arthur wishes to hear it so much, I will say it again. Evelyn is my wife. We just married yesterday."

Regan even took out the paper from his robe and dangled it in front of everyone as he said

"This is the proof of our marriage."

Arthur’s eyes went red and his whole body was shaking with anger when he heard Regan’s words. All the calmness that he possessed yesterday had completely vanished today.

It was his true self.

Regan smiled coldly as he thought.

The next moment, Arthur suddenly charged toward Regan as he screamed

"I shall kill you today, Regan."

Regan raised his eyebrows on hearing these words, not afraid a bit. However, Derrick who heard these words was filled with rage and ordered immediately

"Guards, hold him."

After that, he looked at Regan and Rex and said sharply

"Regan, Rex ...in my chambers...Now!"
