Chapter 72: Regan Reaches The Royal Palace

Regan had set off from Mazic as soon as he got to know what happened. He actually didn’t waste time knowing everything. Actually no one knew everything.

Martha and Henry were completely unaware regarding the soldiers’ reason for taking Evelyn away.

It was evening when he left and even with Lavo’s fast speed, it still took him hours to reach Royal Palace.

By the time he reached Alfaros’ Royal Palace, the sky had completely darkened.

The guards were shocked when they saw the prince walking inside the Royal Palace.

The maids and servants on the way bowed their heads and greeted him politely but Regan walked past them without giving any response.

While walking forward, Regan also encountered a group of ministers but he didn’t even stop to talk with them as if he never noticed them.

Regan’s mask was enough for ministers to recognize him.

His red eyes were shining with rage and coldness. As his cape blew with wind, his mask gave him an aura which screamed aloofness.

No minister dared to approach him. They looked at his back and then at each other.

"What is His Highness doing here all of a sudden?"

One of them finally asked the question that was inside everyone’s heart. However, no one had the answer and hence the silence prevailed.

Then they hurriedly walked to the Emperor’s study room.

When Regan reached the dungeons, the guards guarding the entrance were also shocked to see him.

"Y...Your Highness!"

The guard immediately greeted. However, Regan only looked at him coldly and asked

"Is she inside?"

The guard looked at his felllow guard who was guarding the entrance with him in confusion before looking back at the prince and asking

"Which girl, Your Highness?"

Regan was already filled with impatient and frustration because of not finding Evelyn in Mazic’s castle safe and sound. And now this further delay was only angering him more and more.

The next moment, he picked up the royal guard with his collar and looked into his eyes as he asked

"The girl your people have brought from my castle."

The royal guard was trembling all over but as soon as he heard the prince’s words, he understood what the prince was talking about.

"Y...Your Highness...that girl is not here....she has been given to Prince Rafael by His Majesty... she is in his dungeons"

Regan’s eyes momentarily went blank when he heard Rafael’s name from the Royal guard’s lips and the next moment, he was running to Rafael’s palace.

The whole way his mind was filled with worry for Evelyn.

The layout of every prince’s palace was somewhat the same as all four places were in the Royal Palace only.

Every prince’s palace had a small dungeon where they could keep the slaves or servants if they wanted to punish them.

Regan had also stayed in his palace though only for a day when the banquet had been organized. Hence, he could easily find his way across Rafael’s palace.

The guards at the front tried to stop him, however, he single-handedly subdued them and soon they were lying on the floor.

As he remembered Henry’s words regarding how the royal soldiers injured many of his soldiers, Regan’s eyes were filled with fury and every man who tried to stop him on his way to the dungeons was wounded heavily by him.

Two royal soldiers were guarding the dungeons’ entrance. When they saw Regan, they were surprised but bowed their heads and said

"Your Highness is here. Prince Rafael will be happy to see Your Highness. I will go inside and inform him of his arrival."

When Regan interpreted the soldier’s words that Rafael was also inside the dungeons, his heart sank down inside his chest, filled with dread.

Immediately, he stepped forward to go inside but the soldier who was surprised by his move blocked his way.

"Your High...."

However, even before he could complete his words he was thrown away by Regan and his fellow guard was too stupefied to stop the prince.

When Regan stepped down the stairs of the dungeons, a very bad smell immediately filled his nostrils.

He frowned as he looked around in the dimly lit dungeons.

A shout fell in his ears and his body went stiff for a moment before he was walking in the direction of the sound in long strides.

When Regan reached a series of cells, there was only one cell from which light was coming and he walked to it.

"Evelyn!"

He shouted her name hoping that she would respond if she was inside.

However, when he saw the scene inside the cell from the iron bars, his eyes were filled with bloodthirst.

The next moment, Regan was barging inside the prison cell.

Without any hesitation, he picked Rafael who was lying over Evelyn, and threw him away in a corner.

Rafael had been too focused on Evelyn and indulged in his lust that he never heard someone’s footsteps. Now suddenly seeing Regan standing in front of him, he was surprised for a moment before he felt the pain all over his body.

His eyes soon started to seethe with anger and he shouted

"How dare you Regan!"

However, Regan was not finished yet.

He picked Rafael from the ground as if he was picking a waste cloth and then he was just showering punches on him one after another.

He didn’t even give Rafael any chance to defend himself.

"Regan...stop!"

Rafael shouted as he tried to shield his face from him but everything seemed to be useless.

Regan didn’t seem to be in his senses.

All he saw was red.

Even when Rafael went limp on the floor, he was hitting him non-stop. It was only when the two soldiers from outside came and they tried to drag him away from Rafael.

But they were only able to drag him away slightly and Regan was still struggling.

However, amidst all this, his eyes suddenly went to the other limp figure inside the same cell.

And all his struggles vanished immediately.
