Chapter 93: Stuck In His Chambers
Evanna ended up staying in the prince’s room for the remainder of the late afternoon and evening. But she was so fatigued; her constant watching of the prince, who merely started reading his book in a separate chamber, made her relax more as tiredness washed over her. He never seemed to try and touch her and only engaged with her when she asked questions.
Evanna had tried sneaking away, but after opening one of the doors slightly and peeking outside, she nearly fell back from the two guards standing directly outside the double doors. There were more than just the two guards there though, Garrett had disappeared but left in his wake, around ten guards who stood as still as statues, their backs straight and stiff, and not once talking to each other.
How boring!
When Evanna retreated, she slowly stepped backwards, keeping her feet light on the ground.
"Going somewhere?"
She spun around and was faced with the prince who stood behind her with a raised brow. How did he get there without her senses alerting her to him? And how was he so quiet? Arawn was reading a book!
"No," She mumbled and dropped her head.
After that, she sat in the same room he was in, looking anywhere but at him. It was an adjoining room that she missed the first time she crept into his chambers on the night of the heist. It was to the left of his room, which made Evanna relax more with how close her room was to his. The adjoining room acted as an extra space that she never knew was there.
Somehow, she never saw the golden archway the night she searched for the gem. But she did not wonder too much about it now, not after going to the apothecary and seeing the back door suddenly appear, it was highly likely that there was a spell in place then as well. When Evanna walked into the room the prince was in, she couldn’t help but notice it was the same size as his bed chamber and seemed to have everything he could ever need in it.
It was pretty homely, and she found herself more relaxed the moment feet stepped into the chamber. With its golden glow of the sun rays shining through, that when it darkened outside, it was left with magical floating lights glowing. Evanna presumed if the lights were out, she could look past the roofless ceiling and see the stars much better.
