Rex opened his mouth to say something to Evelyn but in the end, he shut it again.
He left the chambers silently with Elias.
Evelyn wondered whether he believed her or not. However, Regan didn't let her ponder much about this. He held her arm and made her sit on the bed.
"Go to sleep. You didn't sleep for the whole night."
However, Evelyn shook her head and said
"Your Highness also didn't sleep…It is Your Highness who should have rest."
Regan looked at her silently. After a few moments of silence, he suddenly held her cheek and made her look at him.
Evelyn was surprised by his touch but when she looked into his eyes, she found herself lost in them…as if all the worries vanished for that moment.
"Evelyn, do you think that …as long as I am here, he can take you away?"
Evelyn stiffened for a moment as she understood what the prince meant. She swallowed and shook her head. Regan ran his thumb across the corner of her eyes where it was slightly wet and said calmly.
