บท 13: Assassination

Lotus Pavilion

Eve had just finished taking a fresh bath when she saw a note near her pad. She took it and read.

[ Eve, meet me now at the entrance of Moonshade Grove Forest. We need to talk alone. I'll be waiting for you. – your husband, Alaric. ]

Her heart pounded so hard against her chest after reading the notes. She recalled Alaric's last words before he went to the palace hall.

'Wait for me. Let's continue our talk later.'

For some unknown reason, Eve felt so excited to see him. She was still amused after witnessing Alaric's gentle side earlier. 

Without further delay, Eve put on her clothes, applied her disguised makeup, grabbed her robe, and ran out of her room.

She didn't know where Annie was so she made sure to leave a note, telling her where she was going.

Moonshade Grove Forest was located near the palace. She could go there on foot without riding a carriage.
