The Masked prince
Chapter 163: Derrick Blames Rex

Chapter 163: Derrick Blames Rex

At this moment, Regan’s eyes were completely cold as he stared at his father who looked at him with emotionless expression on his face.

"What exactly does Your Majesty mean by denying entry to his Royal Chambers to my wife?"

Regan was so furious.

He had told Evelyn just this morning that he would not leave her alone at all inside the Royal Palace, knowing that she didn’t feel comfortable as Arthur was there.

However, he was furious when his father refused to grant entry to Evelyn and ordered him to come inside.

Regan would have refused to enter without Evelyn if only she had not begged him to go inside.

Apparently, Evelyn could sense that the king was very angry after knowing that the prince had married her and she didn’t wish to make him angrier.

Hence, Regan who was unable to see tears in his newly wedded wife’s eyes had to step inside without her.

It was only because he knew that Elias was hiding in shadows that he was here. He knew that Elias would protect Evelyn if it came to.

Otherwise he wouldn’t have left her alone regardless of how much she had asked him to do so.

On the other hand, Derrick was furious when he heard Regan’s words.

"What wife? I refuse to acknowledge the marriage you have done in your puerileness."

Regan however smiled mockingly when he heard these words and said

"As if I need your acknowledgement. According to laws of Alfaros, she is already married to me and now is my wife. No other acknowledgement is needed. Now I will not disturb Your Majesty anymore."

Regan said calmly and turned around to leave.

However, he had taken only a step forward when he heard Derrick saying to Rex

"It’s you, Rex, isn’t it?"

Rex frowned unable to understand whatever Derrick meant to say.

But when Derrick continued, his whole body went stiff.

"You didn’t stop Regan from doing all this because you had wished to ascend the throne by removing him as an obstacle from your path. It was you brought that slave inside Royal Palace. Such a black heart...do you not remember how Regina raised you like her own son and this is what you give her in return? Shame on y..."

"Shut your mouth"

Regan turned around swiftly and said to Derrick in an icy cold voice.

At the same time, his hand silently went to hold Rex’s.

He frowned when he found it cold.

Staring at Derrick, Regan continued coldly.

"I dare you say anything like that to Rex again. In fact, if I saw your insulting my wife and my brother ever again, I shall leave this Empire of yours... never to return."

Derrick’s eyes immediately flashed with fear and he stayed silent after this.

But his eyes looking at Rex were still full of suspicion.

Regan had married a slave. Derrick was sure that now no minister in the court would agree with him ascending the throne.

In the end, who gained from this?!

It was Rex.

He had investigated this slave and he had found out that the one bringing her inside Royal Palace was also Rex and hence his suspicion on Rex.

After hearing Regan’s threats, he couldn’t say anything, Though he wished that Arthur would pursue this matter.

If Regan divorced that slave then perhaps something could be done.

On the other hand, Regan holding Rex ’s hand had already stepped outside Derrick’s chambers.

However as soon as his eyes fell on Evelyn, he saw how her face was so pale.

He frowned and moved towards her with Rex.

And his eyes went cold when he saw certain someone walking towards her from behind.

It seemed that she knew about him being there.

Evelyn had been standing silently outside the chambers, when she had heard Raphael’s voice.

She recognised his voice very well and hence her whole body had stiffened when she heard footsteps knowing that he was walking towards her.

But when she saw Regan, her pale face slowly gained it’s color and her stiff body also relaxed.

Regan walked to her and held her waist to comfort her.

Evelyn didn’t resist and stayed closer to him.

"Fourth Brother married in such a hurry. You could have at least sent a message. As an elder brother, I would have presented beautiful gifts for your bride."

When he said these words, Raphael’s eyes were at Evelyn all the time and filled with lust.

Regan looked at him coldly and said in an equally cold voice.

"I will suggest you to put your eyes to some good use otherwise you might lose them very soon."

The smile from Raphael’s lips vanished when he heard these words and he looked at Regan with rage filled eyes.

"Are you threatening me?"

"Yes."

Regan answered calmly and Rex’s face went black.

He was about to say something to counter him when they heard the sound of hurried footsteps and both of them looked in a particular direction.

It was Arthur who was walking towards them.

Regan’s hold on Evelyn’s waist went firmer as if he was trying to assure her that she had nothing to fear at all.

But there was a frown on his forehead.

Wasn’t he held by guards?

Then how did he come here.

Arthur had already reached to them and said coldly and loudly.

"I want explanation. Evelyn is my wife. You can’t marry her. I refuse to accept this marriage."

Regan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Before he could say something, Derrick stepped outside his chambers and ordered

"In the court now.... everyone will get a chance to defend themselves."

Evelyn’s head stayed lowered all the time. She just wished to disappear in thin air at that moment.

But the warmth from her side also gave her courage.

She was not alone.

He had done so much for her.

He was going against his father for her.

She couldn’t disappoint him by becoming such a miser could she?
