Chapter 69: Regan Returns To Mazic

"Was there some movement from the other side?"

Rex asked finally.

Although they defeated Zamorin, Prince William was still alive and he couldn’t be taken lightly. That’s why all the ways through which William could enter Alfaros were being guarded tightly by the soldiers.

King Derrick had ordered it seeing the situation. Rex knew that his father was worried about Regan.

He had not been any less worried.

That’s why, when he heard that there was finally some movement from the other side, he came here with Regan. He hoped that Willaim was indeed here.

He wanted to either kill him or take him back to Alfaros as a prisoner. That way, he would feel assured that his brother Regan was completely safe.

But he had not expected such a situation on the border.

Seeing the confusion on the soldiers’ faces, Rex frowned which went deeper when he heard the commander say

"No, Your Highness. We have been guarding very properly. There has not been any movement from the other side yet. I would have myself sent a letter to Your Highness if there have been any."

"But we received a letter from the Royal Palace..."

Rex said with the same frown while others looked at him still confused.

"What kind of letter, Your Highness?"

One of the soldiers asked.

However, before Rex could answer Regan looked at him and said coldly

"Do you still not realize what is going on? We have been schemed against."

As soon as Regan finished his words, he walked to the spot where Lavo was still standing.

"Regan!"

Rex immediately followed him.

"Regan, what are you doing?"

Rex asked as he saw his brother climbing on Lavo. Regan only glanced at him and said coldly. His voice told anyone how furious he was.

"There is something wrong. You stay here and make sure that everything is alright here. I will go back to Mazic and see if everything is alright there."

Rex still had a frown on his forehead as he pondered over his brother’s words. Though he could also feel that there was something wrong, he couldn’t think of what could go wrong in Mazic.

Even Regan didn’t know this. But there was something in his heart that told him again and again that he should go back to Mazic immediately and have a glance at those green eyes.

Regan didn’t delay even for a second. After seeing Rex’s nod, he patted Lavo who immediately flew away in the sky.

Even though he had been flying for the whole two days without having any rest, Lavo still flew across the sky without any complaint. In fact, his speed was now faster than before as he felt his master’s turbulent emotions.

Still, no matter how fast he was, it still took them a little less than two days to reach Mazic.

It was evening when Regan reached the castle. He jumped down from Lavo and walked inside the castle.

The guards inside the castle were slightly surprised to see him all of a sudden. But soon their eyes were filled with guilt. Regan never noticed this because he looked straight as he walked towards his chambers.

Finding his chambers vacant, he frowned deeply and looked at the two guards who were guarding the entrance.

"Where is she?"

The two guards seemed to know who he was asking about. They looked at each other and opened their mouths to say something

"Your Highness..."

However, even before they could finish Regan suddenly started to walk in the opposite corridor.

She must have shifted to her own room since I was not here.

Regan felt amused when he thought this. His red eyes that have been cold all along in the past few days softened a little when he thought about Evelyn.

Did she miss me in my absence? Would she be happy to see me?

Regan wondered inside his heart.

He seemed to remember the way to her room very clearly.

However, when he stepped inside the room and saw it empty as well as its messed up condition, his mind went blank.

A moment later, Regan was walking towards the kitchen.

If she was not inside her room as well, then she must be inside the kitchen. That girl...she can’t sit idle even though it is important for her body to rest.

But on his way to the kitchen, Regan came across Martha who was looking for him as soon as she got to know that the prince was back.

Henry, the head of soldiers followed behind her.

When they saw Regan, they were immediately running towards him.

"Your Highness..."

Martha called out in an anxious voice. But before she could say or ask anything, Regan interrupted her and asked

"Where is Evelyn? Did I not ask you not to allow her to do any work, Martha?"

Looking at the strict expression on prince’s face, Martha’s eyes went teary. Evelyn had not been around for years like Hannah, Miri and Ami but she was a very nice girl.

Martha liked her a lot. In the past two days, she had been worried sick for Evelyn but she didn’t know what she could do.

When she had heard that the prince was back, Martha had thought that the prince might have brought her back or maybe he knew what he was going on.

However, now hearing his words, Martha knew that he didn’t know anything.

Regan frowned when he saw her like this. Seeing that she was not saying anything, Henry finally spoke up.

"Your Highness, Lady Evelyn was taken away."

"Taken away?"

Regan whispered as his red eyes started to go colder while Henry continued

"Two days ago, many soldiers from Royal Palace came to the castle. I tried my best...but they were many. Their strength was more in comparison to us."

Henry’s head hung lower in shame as he said.

"They injured many soldiers and the maids who were assigned to take care of Lady Evelyn. I could only watch as they took her away."
