The Black Band
A very good blacksmith was brought by the guard to Regan soon. The blacksmith looked at the prince with somewhat shock before he bowed his head and greeted him.
As an ordinary citizen, he had never expected that he would one day be summoned by the prince. Initially he had been scared when the guard came and told him that he needs to go to the castle with him. However, when on the way the guard ensured him that the prince had some work for him, he was relieved.
At the same time, he felt happy. There was work and that too, work from the prince.
His earnings would not be less if he did it nicely. Hence with an encouragement of earning more and buy sweets for his children, the blacksmith had accompanied the guard to the castle.
Regan acknowledged the blacksmith's greeting. Afterwards, he asked the blacksmith to follow him.
When Regan reached his chambers, he saw Hannah and Miri stepping out from there.
The two girls bowed their heads when they saw him.
"Evelyn…how is she?"
