Chapter 35: Hannah In Trouble

Evelyn didn’t feel comfortable that Elias had to go back to the kitchen because of her. So after they had finished the dinner, she went back to the kitchen to put the empty tray and came back with a bowl in her hands.

She walked to Elias who was again sharpening his sword.

Elias was confused to see her standing in front of him but his eyes brightened up when Evelyn suddenly uncovered the bowl and he saw what it was.

It was the same dish she had cooked in the lunch.

"This much was left. I know that you couldn’t have any. If you don’t mind that it is from the lunch then you ca..."

Evelyn didn’t even finish when Elias took away the bowl from her hands and said

"I don’t mind at all. What is there to mind when there is food?"

Evelyn felt amused to see him like this. Don’t think that she could not see how clean the chambers were.

She had a guessed that it was Elias who cleaned them. She felt upset with this thought because she supposed that he did her work.

Now when she thought about this, she felt that she was naïve to think that Regan would let her clean his chambers. He was the most important person in the battle between Zamorin and Alfaros.

He had led Alfaros’ soldiers. So his room could have many secrets that she, who was from Zamorin, should not see. Hence, it was Elias only who could clean the chambers.

She, of course, didn’t felt upset with her master. She didn’t have that right.

In fact, she thought he was right. It was his right to stay vigilant even if she doesn’t have any motives.

The duo was completely unaware of a pair of red eyes that were transfixed on them and looked at the bowl in Elias’ hands coldly.

But Rex was watching everything. He stifled his laugh and lowered his head to pretend that he was reading and was never there.

After giving the bowl to Elias, Evelyn asked Regan if she could do any kind of work but Regan dismissed her and asked her to go and rest in her room.

So Evelyn left.

As soon as she left, Regan looked at Elias who was walking towards the table to pick a fork, and said

"Elias"

"Yes, Your Highness"

"Go out and see if there is moon in the sky."

This time Elias thought that he heard wrong. But when he saw his master’s cold eyes, he put the bowl on the table and immediately left the chambers.

Rex shook his head as he looked at his back and then looked at his brother.

He never knew that his brother was such a petty person!

Elias returned a few moments later.

"Your Highness, there is moon in the sky."

"Hmm..."

Regan hummed and didn’t say anything else as he was busy reading his book. Hence, Elias moved towards the table where he had kept the bowl...only to find an empty bowl.

His face fell as he stared at the empty bowl for a few moments before he turned to look at the two princes.

Rex did raise his head as if he knew that Elias was looking at him.

He innocently shook his head and pointed towards Regan.

So Elias looked at his master.

He really wanted to ask his master if he did something to anger him.

Otherwise, why was his master punishing him the whole day in so many different ways!

However, in the end, he held his pitiful heart and went back to what he had been doing.

Sharpening his sword!

When Evelyn reached the garden in the back of the castle, Hannah, Miri, and Ami were already there.

The three girls immediately waved at her when they saw her a few steps away from them.

"I didn’t expect that you would come."

Hannah confessed making Evelyn look at her. The latter always stayed silent and spoke only when it was necessary so Hannah had thought that Evelyn might enjoy their chattering.

But Evelyn surprised her by coming here.

Even Evelyn had not thought that she would come. But since she had nodded and she was free so she decided to come.

And somewhere a part of her heart also wanted to make some friends.

"Hmm...so what were we talking about yesterday? Ah...I remembered. We were talking about the girl who was having an affair with...."

"Miri..."

Ami stopped Miri before she could complete it and continued

"Didn’t Martha say that we should not talk about these things in front of Evelyn?"

Miri glanced at Evelyn who looked already red by the word ’affair’

She felt funny seeing this.

She actually wanted to tease Evelyn but Ami had some other plans.

"Why don’t we talk about Hannah instead?"

Hannah who understood the meaning behind these words shifted from one foot to another nervously while Miri nodded her head enthusiastically.

"Yes, Yes."

They saw Hannah suddenly clutching her stomach and say

"That... my stomach is a bit uncomfortable. Why don’t you guys continue while I go..."

"No!"

Miri and Ami held Hannah’s arms before she could leave.

"You are not going anywhere, right Evelyn?"

At the lack of what to say, Evelyn nodded her head.

Evelyn saw how Miri and Ami smiled evilly as they looked at nervous Hannah.

"Now, are you telling us or should we bring some lizards from our house?"

Hannah’s face went pale immediately and a few moments later she finally spat out the truth.

She cried silently inside her heart when she saw her friends’ excited faces.

"So, you like that man?"

"Yes"

Hannah whispered in a low voice.

"Did you tell me?"

"No!"

Her voice came out slightly louder. The answer made Ami and Miri grimace.

They looked at Hannah before Ami asked

"What is his name? I will ask my husband to ask about him. We should be aware of what kind of character he has."

And it was then, Evelyn came to know that Ami is married.

"That...I don’t know his name."

Hannah squirmed as she answered.

"What?!"

At this moment, Miri and Ami were looking at Hannah as if she was some sort of weird creature.

Ami tsked. She suddenly held Hannah’s arm and started to drag her.

"Come with me. We will ask him his name."

And Hannah could only shake her head with wide eyes.

Someone please save her from her too much-excited friends.
