32 The Pitiful Elias

After having lunch, Regan asked Evelyn to go back to her room.

This time, Evelyn decided not to defy him. She went to her room to have some rest as she was feeling tired.

She returned an hour later.

She was surprised to hear the melodious sound of a flute that seemed to be coming from the balcony of the prince's chambers.

Evelyn saw Elias standing at the door of the balcony and she also went there.

She was surprised to see that it was her master who was playing the flute…and he played it so well.

His eyes were closed and though his mask hid his face, she could see that he felt serene and peaceful when he played it.

She only came out of her trance when she heard the loud flap of wings and then a huge shadow covered the balcony.

"Ah…was Your Highness calling it by playing the flute?"

Evelyn guessed when she saw Lavo landing on the balcony as its wings flapped. Though she had seen it before, she couldn't help but feel mystified by its beauty.

"Yes"
