Chapter 266: Derrick In Trouble Again!

Since she had nothing to do, Evelyn decided to walk around the camp. She didn’t want to go inside the tent again as she was worried that she would wake Regan up.

However, Evelyn realized that visiting the camp was also a bad choice. Because wherever she went, the soldiers would stop their works and greet her.

She smiled and nodded her heads slightly feeling awkward by all the respect she was receiving.

However, she stiffened when she suddenly saw Derrick stepping outside a tent.

Evelyn turned around immediately to leave as she wanted to avoid Derrick. However, as soon as, she took a step forward, she heard Derrick’s voice.

"I didn’t know that you would start to avoid me after our talk, Evelyn."

Evelyn closed her eyes before she turned around and put a forced smile on her lips and greeted Derrick.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Derrick smiled in acknowledgment and said

"I heard that you came but I didn’t believe it. Is it because of Regan?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Evelyn answered in as less words as she could. It could be seen that she was not too inclined towards having a conversation with Derrick.

Sure enough, her face went pale when Derrick asked her

"Did you think about what I said?"

Evelyn’s lips didn’t even open to say anything. She wanted to pretend as if she didn’t hear anything. She was being selfish. She knew.

But could she not be selfish for once?

She wanted Regan only for herself. Except that, she didn’t want anything in her life.

But Derrick didn’t seem to give up and asked again.

"Evelyn?"

The next moment, an arm draped around Evelyn’s waist and Evelyn calmed down immediately knowing who it was.

"What are you doing here?"

Regan asked in almost a whisper as he looked at Derrick coldly.

Evelyn smiled and this time genuinely as she shook her head and said

"Nothing. I was just walking around the camp and then came across His Majesty."

Regan didn’t look too convinced. Perhaps it was because he knew that Derrick didn’t like Evelyn much so he was afraid that the latter would say hurtful things to Evelyn.

So he pulled Evelyn’s arm as he said

"Come with me."

When they were inside the tent, Regan tucked Evelyn’s hair behind her back. It was windy outside and since she came on Lavo who was flying very fast, the strands of her hair were out of her braid.

"If you come across him then just avoid him in the future."

Regan said gently as he helped her with her hair.

Evelyn knew very well who he was talking about.

And she must be very daring to nod her head without any opposition. Because that was what she wanted.

Every time, she faced Derrick, a part of her started to despise herself because she would start to think how selfish she was.

For her happiness, she was snatching the chance of becoming a King from Regan.

She looked at Regan wondering what he would think about her if he came to know of her thoughts. He must despise her for that.

Evelyn felt lost suddenly.

Regan frowned when he saw her like that suddenly. It made his guess certain that Derrick said something hurtful to her.

Just when he was going to ask Evelyn, there was a shout from outside.

"We are under attack!"

Evelyn’s eyes widened while Regan was immediately in action.

He picked his armor and sword. Wearing the armour, he took his sword as he led Evelyn out of the tent,

"You need to leave, Evelyn."

Evelyn’s was still trying to take in what was happening.

What she saw outside the tent shocked her.

The soldiers were fighting and there seems to more and more soldiers coming from the other side.

"Evelyn!"

Regan shook her slightly to bring her out of her trance and Evelyn looked at him finally.

"You need to leave!"

This time Regan said more strictly.

"But..."

Evelyn wanted to refuse. After she left, would Regan fight with these soldiers. But he was still injured. However, Regan was not ready to hear anything.

He pushed her towards Lavo and stood there until she sat on him.

Lavo flew towards the sky and Evelyn could see Regan getting smaller. She felt dejected. She could help him now. She also knew how to use the sword.

But he wouldn’t let her help.

Evelyn however was forced to come out of her thoughts when she suddenly saw a group of people on the ground walking away from the tents.

"Lavo! Go down silently."

Lavo obeyed her and stopped on the ground behind a tree.

The tree couldn’t hide his giant figure but it was already night so no one really noticed him.

Evelyn walked carefully from the behind of tree and saw the group walking with a sack in their hands. Four men held the sack and they seemed to be soldiers.

But seeing their clothes, they seemed to be from Mazic army only. Then why were they here instead of helping their fellow soldiers in the fight.

She even heard one of them say.

"His Highness had ordered that we need to kill him as soon as we get a chance. Why are we taking him away?"

The other three laughed when they heard him and said

"You still didn’t understand? He is a King. If we abduct him away, we can get a good amount in return. Then His Highness can do whatever he wants to do with him."

Evelyn’s eyes went wide as she realized what was going on.

These soldiers were not from Mazic. They were sent by Raphael. It seemed that they mixed themselves amidst others and then abducted Derrick.

If something really happened to Derrick, then it would be difficult for Regan to prove that he didn’t rebel and Raphael might be in an advantageous position.

Evelyn felt chill running down her spine when she realized this.

But then her eyes went to Lavo and she smiled.

Why was she even scared when Lavo was with her!
