Chapter 97: Regan Likes To Pat Evelyn

Regan walked to the corner of his tent and opened a huge box that was made of iron. From inside the box, he took out a beautiful fur coat and then walked to Evelyn with it in his hands.

"Here, wear it and remove that."

He said as he looked at the coat she was wearing.

The coat she was wearing actually didn’t have any fur left on it. It could be seen that it had been worn many times to reach such a state.

If Evelyn had heard Regan’s thoughts, she would have argued with him. She liked the coat she was wearing very much. Yes, It was old but ask a girl like her who had never worn a fur coat in her whole life. To her, it was simply a treasure.

Actually, Regan had made all the arrangements when he had decided to bring her here. He knew that it would be cold on the border so he asked the tailor to prepare fur coats for her.

However, that morning when she appeared already wearing a fur coat, he didn’t have the courage to take another out and give it to her. At that time, he had just wanted to reduce talking to her and stay around her very less thinking that it would be less painful when she finally won’t be around.

But now, since she was here forever, he wanted her to wear these coats.

Regan stuffed the fur coat in her hand, took his from hers, and said

"Wear it."

Evelyn obviously looked conflicted. She looked at the beautiful new fur coat in her hands. Her fingers unconsciously touched its fur and she almost sighed at its softness.

But her heart was not ready to wear it.

She raised her head to look at the prince who was waiting for her and asked cautiously.

"Your Highness, how about I wear it later?"

When the one she was wearing would be completely torn. She never said these words.

Regan looked at her with a deep frown on his forehead and asked

"Why? What is the problem now?"

"That...I don’t want to dirty it."

Evelyn said again cautiously. She had an inkling that the prince won’t like her words. And sure enough, his frown had disappeared and now he was looking at her with narrowed eyes.

"Evelyn, remove the coat you are wearing and wear the one I have for you. If you don’t do it so enough then I myself will help you."

Evelyn’s hand trembled as she imagined the scene of the prince helping her in wearing the coat, and she immediately started to remove the coat she was wearing.

In less than a minute, she was standing wearing the coat Regan had given her.

Regan smiled lightly as he nodded his head, very satisfied at what he had achieved. He took the old coat from Evelyn’s hands and threw it in a corner as he complimented her.

"It looks good on you."

He said without any hesitation. She actually looked no less than a noble lady wearing that coat.

His words made Evelyn blink in awkwardness.

When Regan saw her ears going red, he wanted to laugh out loud but controlled himself. He could only put a fist in front of his lips and cough to hide his laughter.

A few moments later when he had finally composed himself, he said

"Let’s go and have breakfast."

Evelyn nodded her head. However, before following the prince she picked up the coat, the prince had thrown away and folded it neatly. Regan obviously noticed her actions but didn’t stop her.

He actually found it endearing how she cared about every little thing. To him, the coat was very insignificant perhaps because he had not lacked any before as a prince. Perhaps only Evelyn could know the real value of the coat. It made him wonder how many winters she had gone through without such a fur coat.

Evelyn put the coat inside her tent before accompanying the prince for breakfast. She had expected that the prince would scold her but she was left surprised when he didn’t say anything, at the same time relieved.

While having breakfast, she was very cautious as she was worried that something would fall on her new coat.

Regan’s eyes were filled with amusement when he saw her like this. Even before he could control himself, his hand reached her head and patted it gently as if he was trying to soothe her fears.

"Don’t worry. I have another two for you. Even if you get it dirty, you can wear them."

Evelyn’s face went red like an apple and she almost buried herself in the plate. After that, she never raised her head again.

It was only after he finished, did he realize what he had just done.

But the soft touch on his hand actually felt nice.

The next moment, his red eyes looked at his soldiers who were sitting around and now were looking at him with wide eyes.

But one cold gaze from Regan was enough for them to come out of their stupor and focus on their meals.

They didn’t see anything.

Although they said this, a few of them still found Elias and asked him

"Are you sure that girl is His Highness’ slave?"

Elias looked confused at the soldier’s question. He was actually the unfortunate one to miss such a scene.

He had been sent by the prince to the General to note down all the things the General said, was about to end. Hence, he didn’t know the reason behind the soldier’s question. So he asked

"Why are you asking this?"

The soldier opened his mouth but didn’t say anything for a long time. Actually in front of his eyes flashed the prince’s red eyes and his heart suddenly trembled in fear and he didn’t have the courage to say anything.

Yes, he didn’t see anything.

So he could only smile and shook his head while saying

"Nothing, nothing. I have just gone crazy."

Elias raised his eyebrows and looked at the leaving soldier’s back with weird eyes. Many others asked him the same question but they never told him the reason.

At the end of the day, he was left confused by their questions. But as he thought about this, he concluded that they must be asking this because Evelyn’s black band was suddenly missing.

He was also curious regarding this but he didn’t pry much. It must be his master’s decision to free Evelyn as a slave and he would never question his master’s decision.
