Derrick's Request

Inside her chambers, Evelyn heard Derrick's voice and came to the gates. Opening them slightly when she saw Derrick, she was surprised and greeted him

"Greetings, Your Majesty"

Evelyn said softly and Derrick nodded his head and asked

"Can I talk to you, Evelyn?"

Elias couldn't believe that a King was behaving like this. Derrick should have walked away when he refused for the first time. His persistence only made Elias more careful about him.

Evelyn on the other hand was confused but nodded her head.

Elias looked at her with a frown as Derrick entered the chambers.

As if she could sense his worry, Evelyn smiled at him and assured

"Elias, I have spent more than a week with His Majesty. I am sure that he wouldn't harm me."

Saying this, Evelyn closed the door.

She was actually curious to know why Derrick wanted to see her.

At this moment, they were seated around the dining table. Derrick had not said anything while Evelyn didn't know what she should say.
