Chapter 268: The Death

Evelyn’s eyes widened when she heard Derrick. She didn’t know if he was right but she decided to believe him.

She soon composed herself and said as she stepped inside the room and locked the door.

"We can’t leave under his eyes then...otherwise they will find us soon."

Derrick nodded his head. He looked around the room and found a window. He limped towards the window and pushed it open.

Seeing the grassy ground below, Derrick nodded his head and said

"We can escape through here."

Evelyn also picked up the bed sheet and tied it to the window firmly so that they could go down easily. She looked at Derrick after that who shook his head and said

"You go down first. I will go and lock the door."

Evelyn wanted to argue but she was afraid that they would waste time arguing only after that. So she followed what Derrick said.

Once she was down on the ground, she looked toward Derrick who was ready to come down. But then the next moment, he disappeared from the window suddenly.

"Your Majesty!"

Evelyn called out in worry but the next moment, when she saw a familiar face on the window looking down at her, her face went pale.

It was none other than Raphael.

Raphael smirked coldly as he looked down at her. It was all because of her. If she had not run away then everything would have been so easy for him.

"Go and kill her."

Raphael ordered his men who left the room immediately.

Standing below the window, Evelyn heard his words very clearly.

Raphael walked away from the window and she could only imagine what he would do to Derrick.

She also heard the sound of footsteps and she knew who they belonged to.

Evelyn composed herself and hid behind the nearby bushes.

However, the bushes were not too long to hide her body. The men who saw her easily sneered in a mocking way.

As he leaned down to grab Evelyn, she suddenly took out her dagger and stabbed his arm.

The man groaned in pain and fell down to the ground.

Evelyn didn’t pay more attention to him.

She knew that she needed to save Derrick.

She felt scared but she needed to do it. Using the same bed sheet she decided to go back inside the room.

It was more difficult than she had thought because she couldn’t attract anyone’s attention but after almost five minutes, she successfully reached the window.

However, what she inside the room through the window made Evelyn’s face pale.

Raphael had a sword in his hands and Derrick was held immobile by a man in front of Raphael.

Evelyn hurriedly jumped inside the room which attracted the attention of the people inside the room.

Derrick’s eyes were filled with fear when he saw her and he immediately said

"Evelyn, run away! What are you doing here?"

He had never expected her to come back.

But Evelyn didn’t seem to listen to him.

She despised the smirk on Raphael’s lips when he turned towards her. When the man who was holding Derrick was about to walk towards Evelyn, Raphael signed him not to and said

"Let me handle her. I had always wanted to have a taste of her. My father’s death can always wait for a little."

When Derrick heard this, his eyes went red with anger and he shouted out.

"Raphael, she is your brother’s wife."

At these words, Raphael only sneered in response and walked towards Evelyn who looked at him disgust filled eyes.

When he was close to her, her suddenly grabbed Evelyn’s jaw and pushed her against the wall roughly, Evelyn whimpered in pain and turned her face away when she felt his breath on her skin.

Raphael enjoyed the disgust in her eyes.

He wondered how Regan would feel when he would come to know how he violated his woman.

Excited by the mere fact, Raphael’s hand went to lift Evelyn’s dress.

But he didn’t know that Evelyn was just waiting for such a moment when his attention will be somewhere else.

Just as Raphael’s hand went under her dress and touched her bare leg, Evelyn used her dagger in her hand which was hidden behind her back, and stabbed him right in his chest.

Raphael was shocked.

It could be seen from his wide eyes.

After all, he had never expected that a meek slave like Evelyn would dare to attack. He had never expected her to have a dagger as well.

He looked at the dagger in Evelyn’s hands in disbelief and then at the blood that trickled down from his clothes before he stepped back and groaned in pain.

Evelyn looked at him silently with a blank look in his eyes.

The man who was holding Derrick realized that something was wrong and left Derrick.

When he moved to Raphael, his eyes widened seeing his chest. Then he looked at Evelyn in anger but before he could hit her, Derrick picked up Raphael’s sword and stabbed his back with it.

The man fell down on the ground within a moment while Raphael also slowly fell down to the floor.

His eyes were still open as the blood pooled around his body.

He looked towards Evelyn with rage before looking at Derrick who didn’t have any emotion on his face as he saw his son dying in front of his eyes.

Instead, Derrick moved towards Evelyn and asked her softly

"Are you alright, Evelyn?"

However, Evelyn didn’t give him any answer.

She looked at the blood pooling around Raphael’s body. Then she looked at her hands which were stained with blood from the dagger.

The dagger fell down from her hands within a moment and Evelyn wiped her hands with her dress in a haphazard manner.

She didn’t do anything wrong.

She knew it.

But the scene in front of her eyes reminded her of Oliver’s death.

She just killed someone.

She killed someone for the first time in her life.

The door was suddenly pushed open and a concern-filled voice sounded inside the room.

"Evelyn!"

Evelyn did hear the voice and she also knew who it belonged to.

However, she couldn’t raise her head to look at its owner. Everything was too blurry in front of her eyes. She found it difficult to breathe.

The next moment, she went unconscious while a pair of arms wrapped around her waist to stop her from falling on the ground.
