Chapitre 12: City Of Mazic
It was the first time Evelyn was seeing mountains, so many rivers, and dense forests. She was simply amazed at the beauty of nature which looked more beautiful from the sky.
It was after a long time, she saw the crowded and busy streets.
When Lavo started to go down, Evelyn realized that they have arrived.
She saw the huge entrance made from gold. Two Guards guarded the entrance.
Lavo stopped flying when he reached inside the outer hall. Evelyn was amazed at the beauty of the large castle.
It looked more beautiful than the Royal Palace itself.
Did it belong to Prince? She wondered as she looked around.
She heard the soft growl and looked at Lavo. Seeing its blue eyes on herself, this time, she didn't need to be told what he wanted.
She stepped forward and scratched its paw gently.
When the creature growled again in a softer voice, she couldn't help but wonder what kind of happiness it got because of his paw being scratched like this.
In the end, Lavo felt someone's cold gaze on itself and flew away from there reluctantly.
Looking at the blue sky, where it disappeared, Evelyn couldn't help but wonder where it went.
She came out of her trance when she heard someone's voice.
"Your Highness…Welcome, Your Highness. This servant was not informed of your arrival otherwise would have welcomed Your Highness with more grandeur."
Evelyn saw a middle-aged woman standing in front of Regan with two girls standing behind her. They seemed to be the maids.
"Who are you?"
Regan asked calmly as he looked around the castle.
The middle-aged woman perhaps realized that Regan had stepped inside his own city for the first time so she introduced herself.
"Your Highness, this servant is responsible for most of the matters of the castle. This servant's name is Martha. His Highness, Prince Rex had appointed me almost seven years ago. After the previous head-maid died, I was assigned by Prince Rex to look after the castle. People of Mazic would have been very happy to know of Your Highness' arrival."
Martha had affection and respect in her eyes as she looked at Regan.
The City of Mazic, originally belonged to Regan's Mother Regina. After Regina's death, the city went to Regan's hands, however, the latter never stepped inside this city. It had always been Rex who had come here to ensure that everything was going well.
However, the people of Mazic had unconditional affection and respect for Regan …that was won by Regina because of her care and love for them.
"The tales of Her Majesty are still widespread in the streets of Mazic."
Martha's eyes got wet as she said these words. Their queen dying at such a young age was a great blow to them.
Regan who heard Martha's words stilled.
It was only Evelyn who noticed this but it was only for a moment.
Soon, he stepped forward to go inside. Perhaps Martha also realized that the prince didn't seem to like to hear the mention of his mother.
She sighed and looked at Evelyn in confusion who was standing there.
"Who are you?"
Regan who was just at the gates of the outer hall heard Martha's question and stopped to say
"She is my person. Arrange a separate room for her."
Martha heard him and immediately turned around to say
"As Your Highness says."
Though Regan's back was to her, she bowed her head as she said these words.
After this, Regan finally left.
Martha turned around to look at Evelyn again.
"May I ask the name of La…" Lady?
Martha was about to say politely but suddenly her eyes fell on the black band on Evelyn's wrist.
She looked at Evelyn again in surprise. As a citizen of Mazic, it was the first time she was seeing a slave. Before this, she had just heard about the symbol of slavery, the black band.
But today, she was seeing a slave.
When she spoke again, though her voice was polite, she didn't use the term Lady to ask Evelyn.
"What is your name?"
Evelyn had noticed all the actions of Martha. She merely lowered her head and answered politely
"It's Evelyn, Madam."
Martha nodded her head and ordered the maid calmly
"Show her the room that had been cleaned just two days ago."
The maid bent her knees to show that she had accepted the order and then looked at Evelyn.
"Thank you, Madam.
Saying politely, Evelyn followed the maid with her small bundle.
As she crossed the corridors while following the maid, Evelyn didn't look around much and continued to walk with her head lowered.
"This is your room."
The maid said as she pushed the closed door. Evelyn raised her head and looked inside the room.
It was not large but when she thought that she was going to live here alone, it felt very large to her. Seeing the bed inside the room surprised Evelyn who was used to of sleeping on the floor.
There was even a blanket on the bed. Though except this, there was no other furniture inside the room, Evelyn was still surprised.
For a moment, she couldn't believe that she was given such a decent room.
"Were you bought by the prince?"
She came out of her trance when she heard the maid's question. Looking at the maid she saw that the latter was looking at the black band on her wrist.
"Yes"
She said calmly.
The maid, however, looked surprised as she looked at Evelyn and suddenly smiled widely. She suddenly nudged Evelyn with her shoulder making the latter lose her balance and look at her with confusion.
"You are quite a beauty. You even charmed the prince …that too Prince Regan who doesn't have even a single concubine."
Seeing the dreamy look in the maid's eyes, Evelyn felt awkward. She lowered her head and coughed lightly before saying
"There is nothing like this. His Highness saved my life so I wish to repay."
The maid's smile disappeared and she frowned as she whispered
"Oh… it is like this."
But suddenly, she smiled again and said
"But you are still very beautiful. I can bet that the male servants will lose their tongue on seeing you."
The maid had a teasing smile on her lips as she said these words.
However, Evelyn's face suddenly went pale when she heard these words.
