Jerome was still adamant about not letting Everard go out of the castle for a night stroll, not when he knew that Everard’s ulterior motive was to look for Ruby, that also on his own, that too after getting challenged by Alpha Regulus just yesterday night.

“I am simply worried about your safety, Your Majesty. That’s all.” He looked at Everard with a worried look on his face and suggested once again, “If you take your guards along with you, then I will happily return home. But I simply cannot let you leave on your own.”
