Days passed and the newly crowned queen devoted herself to the imperials like the previous lord of Zenira. Everything around Evelyn was getting normal but well, she still experienced some sort of emptiness in her. No matter how many times she tried to deny the fact that she still missed him, her behaviour made things obvious.
There was no news from Christina either. This fact made her suspicions grow stronger and stronger. She heard from the rumours that Elric wasn't in his province either. He disappeared like an evaporated water drop leaving no trace behind him. She wondered why he needed to hide from people as everyone was aware of him and Christina.
She cursed herself for brushing off her doubts when she had seen him in the night theatre with Christina watching the erotic play. Mentally sighing, she tried to forget him although she was aware that it was never going to happen as it was her first love. The first love which devastated her.
