Chapter 249: Finding Evelyn

Holding Lavo’s wings, Regan moved towards his head.

It took him a great effort. When he was there, he had told hold Lavo’s head with all his strength and made him look towards him. He held his head in a firm grip as he looked into his blue blank eyes.

"Lavo...it’s me, Regan. Do you remember? You and I have fought so many battles together ...not against each other. Will you stand again me now?"

Regan stroked Lavo’s head with one hand as he held his head with his other hand. His voice was firm yet gentle as he tried to tame Lavo like a child.

Regan saw how Lavo’s blank blue eyes finally started to fill with tears full of emotions.

They were filled with pain and then he felt Lavo collapsing to the ground.

Regan was filled with panic but only for a moment because he remembered the previous instances where people went unconscious like this after getting out of Arthur’s spell.

But what made Lavo come out of his spell?

However, he didn’t have the time to ponder on this because the next moment, he sensed someone behind him. With one swift movement, Regan removed himself from Lavo and kicked the duplicate Rex in his stomach.

Rex stood up again and this time he raised his hand to punch Regan with rage filled eyes but Regan again subdued him easily.

Holding him against a tree, Regan took out his dagger and pointed it at his eyes as he said

"You are Arthur right?"

In response, Rex only smirked but that was enough of an answer Regan needed.

Regan’s eyes flashed with a cold glint of light knowing another ability of the disgusting man who was his captive right now.

He moved dagger more close to Arthur’s eyes as he said

"You use your eyes to control other’s mind, right? What if I snatch them from you? You won’t be able to do so any longer...ha!"

Regan laughed coldly when he saw Arthur’s eyes filling up with rage.

So Dan’s guess was right. Arthur indeed used his eyes to control others mind.

Regan was going to use this fact fully.

"Now tell me, where are Rex and Evelyn before I take your eyes away with my dagger?"

Regan said coldly as he kicked Arthur into his stomach again.

Arthur didn’t speak but glared at Regan. If only his spell worked on Regan as well then he wouldn’t have been in such a situation. But he couldn’t lose his eyes.

His eyes were very important for him. Not only because he could see through them...but also because he needed them to use his abilities.

Although the spells he chanted ...some of them worked just like that but many needed eye contact which he wouldn’t be able to make if he lost his eyes.

So when Regan moved the dagger closer to Arthur’s eyes, the latter had to give up and say

"I will tell you."

Regan nodded his head. He put his dagger against Arthur’s neck as he signed him to lead him to Evelyn and Rex.

Almost fifteen minutes later when Regan was starting to doubt that Arthur was trying to make a fool of him, he finally saw a castle in front of him.

"Are they inside?"

Regan asked coldly. He knew that he couldn’t trust Arthur with anything. For all he knew, this might be some kind of trap and Arthur might run away after trapping him inside this castle.

"Yes"

Arthur replied with gritted teeth. It was obvious that he was not liking this situation at all where he had to feel scared of Regan and do whatever the later wanted him to. From the moment, Arthur learned magic, there had not been any instance where he had to face defeat and it didn’t come for free to him...he had to make great sacrifices for that.

And yet when he needed those abilities today at the most crucial moment of his life, he couldn’t use them because his opponent was immune to those spells.

"Open the gates"

Regan asked coldly as he pushed Arthur towards the entrance.

Arthur clenched his fists. He couldn’t defeat Regan physically. He was well aware of that. All these years, Arthur had spent to practice spells...to make them so perfect so that no one would be able to escape them but today they were of no longer use.

In the end, under the sharp gaze of Regan’s dagger Arthur could only chant the spell and open the door. The huge gates of the castle opened making a creak sound.

Regan didn’t step inside first. He kept Arthur also outside as he shouted

"Evelyn! Rex!"

His voice was loud enough to ring inside the whole castle.

A few moments passed and he didn’t see any movement inside the castle.

"Evelyn! Rex...are you h...?"

Regan called out again but was interrupted amidst his words when he finally saw a figure running down the stairs. Arthur in his hold was long forgotten as Regan rushed inside the castle towards Evelyn who almost stumbled down the stairs but he caught her swiftly and pulled her in his arms.

"Evelyn!"

Regan whispered gently as he closed his eyes and breathed her scent. It felt almost surreal to have her in his arms back. He had been so worried. He was worried that Arthur would give some fresh wounds to Evelyn when previous ones were yet to healed.

Putting a kiss on her hair, he leaned away slightly and then caressed her face all the way down to her chin seeing how she was crying.

"Sshhh...don’t cry. I am here now, am I not?"

Evelyn nodded her head as she stared at him without blinking. She was worried that he would disappear if she even blinked.

Another tear slid down her eyes which Regan wiped away swiftly.

"Your Highness..."

Regan nodded his head when he didn’t hear her continuing. He could understand that she just wanted to ensure his presence and his situation was no different than hers.
