Chapter 66: Does Regan Like Her?

The prince left in the evening and the same night, Evelyn could feel very low while having her dinner.

She missed how Elias, she, and the prince used to have their dinner together.

Even while lying on the bed, she found it difficult to sleep. But the medicinal porridge that was prepared by Dan for her wound to heal sooner, helped her in finding sleep after she ate it.

However, the following day was still difficult for her to pass while staying inside the room. She didn’t have anything she could.

The next day, when Dan came to change the clothing on her wound, even he could sense that she was upset.

He smiled.

Dan was an old man. Seeing the prince worrying so much about this girl when she was injured, he knew that the prince had some special feelings for this girl. But now it seems that even this girl was not left out.

However, when Dan saw the black band on the girl’s wrist, he sighed slightly.

He knew the meaning behind the black band. She was a slave and one had to know that a prince could only take a slave as his concubine and couldn’t marry her officially.

Evelyn seemed to be a very good girl to him from her clean eyes. He could only wish good for her.

Seeing her dim eyes, he smiled softly and said

"Why doesn’t Lady Evelyn go out today for some time?"

Evelyn looked at him immediately and asked

"Can I?"

"Of Course. But it would be better if someone would accompany Lady."

It was only her shoulder that was injured. Her legs were fine. But since she had lost a huge amount of blood, she could feel dizzy while walking so it would be better if someone would accompany her.

A maid immediately stepped forward and hence, Evelyn could finally step out of the chambers.

Breathing the fresh air inside her lungs as she walked inside the garden, Evelyn could finally feel alive again.

The depression in her heart was also less now.

Soon, she heard a voice and turned around with the help of the maid. Seeing, Hannah, Miri, and Ami walking towards her, Evelyn’s eyes brightened.

"Evelyn, what are you doing outside? You should rest inside the chambers."

As soon as Hannah was in front of Evelyn, she put her hands on her hip and started reprimanding her.

Though she was getting scolded, Evelyn felt warm inside her heart and said softly

"I asked Physician Dan. He allowed me to have a stroll outside as long as someone is there with me."

Hearing this, Hannah pouted and soon nodded her head.

Since Physician Dan didn’t find that it was a problem then she could really say nothing.

But soon she smiled brightly and said

"Since it is like this, then come with us."

On hearing this, Evelyn nodded her head and looked at the two maids.

"You can also stroll around for some time. I am safe with them."

The two maids nodded their heads but they followed Evelyn from a few steps away as she was held by Hannah and Miri.

Seeing the two guards and two maids following behind them, Hannah looked at Evelyn weirdly and asked

"Why are these guards following you?"

Evelyn sighed when she heard about the two guards and said

"The prince appointed them."

Just now, she told them that they didn’t need to accompany her since she was inside the castle only.

Who could bully her inside the castle! This castle was the place where she felt very secure.

However, the two guards seemed to be well taught by the prince and they didn’t listen to her at all.

Seeing this, she could only sigh and have them accompany her.

On the other hand, Ami, Miri, and Hannah giggled when they heard Evelyn’s words.

"The prince appointed them hmmm?"

Hannah teased in a low voice while Ami and Miri laughed lightly. Looking at them like this and hearing their words, Evelyn was confused and frowned.

"Yes, I am not lying."

"Of Course, we believe you, right Miri?"

This time, said Ami with a teasing smile on her lips.

"Yes, Yes."

Miri nodded her head vigorously yet with a smile on her lips.

Though Evelyn didn’t know why they have such expressions, she was sure that nothing good was going on in their minds so she preferred to stay silent.

However, how could the three girls just let go of her like this?

Hannah was the first to say in an excited voice to Ami.

"I told you. There is something going on between them. Prince Regan had never taken a concubine. Ha...I have even heard that he didn’t even glance at the girls His Majesty sent for him to the border. But then he brought our Evelyn here ...to Mazic. Did you really think that it was for nothing?"

Ami sighed as she said

"Well...I was actually dense, I guess."

She had not believed Hannah before but now even she had the same thoughts.

Evelyn’s face went red when she heard Hannah’s words but she had an exasperated expression on her face as she said

"Hannah... what are you saying? It is nothing like this. I can’t think like that about Your Highness so you should not talk like this."

However, at her words, Hannah only rolled her eyes as if she heard some sort of joke and said

"Why not? Why can’t you think like that? You are a girl and he is a man. Perhaps you don’t know but we know how the prince sat by your side without leaving even for a second until you woke up, Evelyn? Do you still think that he feels nothing for you?"

Evelyn was shocked when she heard this.

She didn’t know that the prince was by her side all the time when she was unconscious.

No wonder he looked so exhausted when she woke up.

Her heart which had been finally calm for some time started to drum against her chest again.

And she could again feel that strange feeling inside her chest.
