The Masked prince
Chapter 166: An Alliance

Chapter 166: An Alliance

"Your Highness, I am alright."

Evelyn whispered feeling helpless with how Regan was carrying her as he walked inside the Palace they were living in.

Rex and Elias were silently following them and even Regan didn’t respond to his words.

He continued to walk silently toward her room with her in his arms.

Once he was inside the room, he laid her inside the room and called Elias. Elias stepped inside with a physician who checked on Evelyn and said that everything was alright.

That was what confused Regan. Even the physician in Royal Palace claimed that nothing was wrong with her. Then why did she suddenly lost consciousness?

After the physician had left, Regan filled a glass of water for Evelyn and passed it to her.

After she had drunk the water, he asked gently

"How are you feeling now?"

Then before she could answer, he said further in a strict voice

"Don’t lie to me."

Evelyn tried to smile a little when she heard this as if trying to soften Regan’s attitude. However, Regan continued to look at her strictly so she sighed and said softly

"I have just a slight headache, Your Highness."

Regan frowned instantly as he said

"Did the medicine the Royal Physician gave not work?"

"It is lighter than before."

Evelyn said instantly and then continued seeing that the prince’s frown was still there.

"Your Highness, I will another dose he gave me. Then it will disappear completely."

Regan nodded his head after some time and said

"Rest for now."

Then he stood there until Evelyn had laid down on the bed. He even covered her properly with the blanket. This behavior of his left Evelyn slightly overwhelmed but she didn’t say anything.

Actually, she felt warmth filling her heart when she saw the prince worrying for her so much. As much as she didn’t like his frown, she somewhere enjoyed his care.

Regan finally left the room once Evelyn had closed her eyes and was breathing evenly.

Once outside the room, he said to Elias.

"Send a letter to Dan. I want him here as soon as possible."

Evelyn suddenly lost consciousness and no one could tell him why it happened. That’s why Regan was worried.

Regan also thought that they should have their own physician ...at least one.

Hence, bringing Dan here was the right idea.

Elias did as he was asked to do.

Regan stood there for some time and even checked on Evelyn once. When he was sure that she was sleeping comfortably, he left the room and went to Rex’s room which was on the first floor.

Regan knocked on the door and didn’t hear anything from inside.

He sighed and a moment later, pushed the door open.

He didn’t see Rex anywhere inside the room so he walked towards the balcony. As expected, Rex was standing there.

Regan silently walked to him and stood by his side.

Both of them had their hands folded behind their backs and stared at the endless sky silently. Regan didn’t say anything and it was Rex who spoke after a long time.

"How is Evelyn?"

"She is sleeping."

Regan said calmly without turning to look at Rex.

There was silence again. However, Regan’s one hand silently went to hold Rex’s hand behind his back. Holding both of his hands, Regan said firmly

"I won’t have you blame yourself for any of your actions Rex just because of the rubbish said by that old man."

Rex blinked silently and his adam’s apple wobbled as if he was trying to control his emotions. It could be seen that Derrick’s words had affected him a lot.

He had not said even a single word after stepping out of Derrick’s chambers.

When Rex didn’t say anything, Regan continued

"He doesn’t know us Rex...what we have done for each other, how we have stood by each other’s side. But we do. I do and you also do know what we mean for each other. After mother, you have been the person for whom I have wanted to be strong and I am sure that the same goes for you. So you can’t just pay attention to any passerby who is speaking rubbish."

Regan didn’t care that the person whom he was speaking about was his father and the King of this Empire. To him, that man was nothing to him.

And after seeing how he behaved with Rex, Regan only hated Derrick more than before.

Rex didn’t say anything but his eyes had some extra moisture. In the end, he turned to Regan and hugged him tightly.

Regan also didn’t say anything and hugged Rex tightly.

They were always there for each other...regardless of what others thought.

Arthur was so angry inside his chambers that he had turned everything upside down. He couldn’t believe that things didn’t go in his favor.

He couldn’t believe that Evelyn was no longer his wife.

After Evelyn lost consciousness, Derrick announced that this matter would be put to rest here only.

It was because many ministers in the court had started to agree with what Regan had said. He was trying to blackmail with using Evelyn which was not acceptable.

"She is mine!"

Arthur screamed as he kicked the nearby table in anger.

"Tsk!"

Arthur’s cold eyes immediately moved toward the mocking sound. The maids and servants had already left the chambers when he had asked them to do so.

Then who would dare to step inside? Did they not love their lives?

However, the one who stepped inside the chamber was neither a maid nor a servant.

It was none other than Raphael.

Raphael walked towards Arthur very calmly though the latter was staring at him with deathly cold eyes.

"Yesterday, I had expected that you are a very strong player but today my thoughts are suddenly very different regarding you, Sir Arthur. You turned out to be a very weak ...as well as a stupid person."

Arthur shook with rage when he heard this.

What did these princes of Alfaros think?

They could insult him whenever they wished. He was not powerless. It was just he was forced not to show his power otherwise Regan as well this Raphael would not have been alive by now.

And Evelyn would also have been by his side.

Unaware of what he was thinking, Raphael continued to walk towards the bed and sat there which was the only furniture inside the room not broken by now.

Looking at the raging Arthur, he smiled and said

"If Sir Arthur wishes....I can help you. But in return, I would need your help as well."

The coldness in Arthur’s eyes vanished suddenly and he looked at Raphael with narrowed eyes...as if he was trying to understand Raphael’s words.

And this was from there everything started.

Arthur’s other plan to get Evelyn ...as well as Raphael’s plan to destroy Regan.
