Chapter 43 The Unexpected Man Appears
The sound of my heart beating became clearer and clearer, and the sound of the music disappeared in my ears. This scene was familiar to me because it had appeared in my dreams countless times.
"Gina, I ...... I don't know how to face you, at least ...... The least I can be sure of is that I love you."
Evelynn's laughter shattered the world I had just imagined. The music returned and the people around me all reappeared, not Gina in front of me, but Evelynn, who was very similar to her, with a vivid and lively smile instead of a gentle and shy one.
"Brother Willian, you're mistaken! I'm Evelynn! Not your Luna!"
I held her hand tightly, smiled, and said, "Oh! Yes, I'm sorry, Miss Evelynn."
My dance steps became lighter and I took her hand and spun around in a few circles, her laughter echoing through the hall.
We danced recklessly in the hall, and I felt more relaxed than I had in a long time, ignoring everything around us, with only each other in our eyes.
I don't know how long it took, but I stopped, Evelynn leaning into my arms, her breath coming in gasps, her breasts rising and falling with each breath.
"Brother Willian, I'm a little tired, can you accompany me to rest next to me?"
"Of course!"
I dragged her to the place where she was resting before. Amber was no longer there, and the maid next to her told me that she was a little unwell and had gone straight back to the mansion.
Evelynn took my hand and sat at the dessert table. She selected each dessert very carefully and brought it to me.
"Brother Willian, these are a few of my favorite desserts, will you share them with me?"
I've never been a big fan of dessert; rich and creamy is too sweet for me. But I looked at Evelynn's smile and a wave of magic made me accept her request without realizing it.
We enjoyed the dessert together, probably because we hadn't had it for a long time, and I thought it was delicious tonight.
Evelynn told me about her experiences when she was abroad, and about her life when she was in the royal palace. She was cheerful, optimistic, and flamboyant, like a little wildcat, new and familiar.
When the party was over, the king and queen went to the bedroom and handed Evelynn over to me.
"Oh! Did you have a good day, my dear?" The queen embraced Evelynn, and the king looked at the queen with a very gentle smile.
"Sister, it was a great day and I appreciate you bringing me here, I love it and I love Brother Willian even more!"
The queen looked at me and said, "Willian, Evelynn is my dearest sister, you must treat her well, if she is hurt at all, I will not let you spend a peaceful life afterward!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, Miss Evelynn is very lovely, I will arrange the best treatment for her, please don't worry!"
"Oh! Evelynn, we're going to bed, have a good night!"
"Good night, my dear sister!"
Gina's POV
Two days later, I arrived at the queen's palace, she prepared some gorgeous dresses for me.
"Honey, you pick a gown as a meeting with Willian, and take the rest with you like your clothes for the Red Night Clan, as my sister, I will not allow anyone to be more beautiful than you!"
I hugged the queen, "Thank you, sister queen, I will always take your teachings to heart and I will achieve my goals and bring you the perfect story."
"Yes, I can wait, but I would prefer you to come back safely than that. And out Josie needs to follow you there as your maid, and I have selected a guard from the king to be your bodyguard!"
"Bodyguard?"
"Yes, you should know him, I think you must know him!" The queen was a little excited, and she gave a sign to Madame Josie, who then went to the door.
Soon after, a man appeared behind Mrs. Josie, whose figure was somewhat familiar, I seemed to have seen him somewhere.
"You must know him, my dear!" The queen walked up to the man, who curtsied to her.
I knew his face well, but I forgot his name.
"Lord Luna, I'm Albert," the calm, magnetic voice reminded me of the man I'd seen at the appointment ceremony. I did know him! My sister had also told me once that Mr. Albert was a funny man, but very different from the one in front of me now.
"You're Albert?"
"Yes, Luna, you must be surprised! Why I am here."
"Yes, dear Mr. Albert, why are you here?"
"Lord Luna, I am similar to you, I met with someone's trap right after your accident and was pushed into the river, also like you, I was seen by the king's secret patrolling troops, the great king took me in, the honorable queen heard about my encounter and offered to let me return to the Red Night Clan with you as your retainer. "
I covered my mouth in amazement at it all! What a coincidence it was!
"Then, Mr. Albert, I'll be counting on your care from now on!"
"Yes, Luna, there are some things about your sister, Shirley, that I wish to report to you."
Albert looked at the queen, who nodded her head in agreement.
"Lord Luna ......"
"You might as well call me Miss Evelynn now! If we get to the Red Night Clan and accidentally say the wrong thing, it won't be good for our operation."
"Well, Evelynn, after your accident, Lord Alpha asked Jason and me to investigate about your sister, that is, Shirley, and I found Jason's abnormality in the process, and I deduced from that that Shirley-Osama's death had something to do with Lord Jason, but these were only my guesses, I reported to Lord Alpha."
"Unexpectedly, and very coincidentally, Ambow appeared at Lord Alpha's mansion."
"No! Mr. Albert, I think you should call Ambow as Lord Luna now, I know about them," I said looking at Albert.
"Yes, indeed, I didn't know Miss Ambow very well at the time, oh! No! The current Luna and Alpha had something to do with each other, and from that, I became suspicious of Ambow, and this matter might have something to do with her as well."
"That night, I went to the place where you died to check, but I saw Lord Jason, waiting there as if waiting for me, and I asked him about his doubts about checking the scene of the case during the day, and he has been evasive about the answer and would not answer my questions positively."
"He tricked me into going to the edge of the cliff and told me at the last moment that it was all a plot by Ambow and that he was only helping her."
"The next thing I knew, I was knocked out by him and thrown off a cliff. When I woke up, I was rescued by the king's shadowy patrolling forces."
I lamented what happened to Albert, who just wanted to investigate the truth for his sister and me, but was framed by the murderer, and my hatred for Jason and Ambow intensified.
"Mr. Albert, I already know the true nature of Ambow, and I will punish her this time when I go back, and I hope you will help me at the right time."
"Of course!"
Albert's tone was firm, and I saw hope in his eyes.
At nine o'clock sharp, we set off for the Red Night Clan.
My heart was a bit mixed because going back would mean seeing Willian again, and of course Ambow and Katie, and even though I had always imagined before what I would feel when I met Willian, I felt myself getting more and more nervous as the moment got closer and closer.
I purposely picked a very bright red dress, which is the color of roses, I love roses, it is because of roses, I met with Willian, it is also because Ambow used roses, I was disliked by Willian, but Willian never loved me is also the most critical reason for our conflict.
The main purpose of my return to the Red Night Clan is to avenge my sister's death. Of course, I need Willian's help, but I will not let myself fall in love with him but will use him.
After arriving at the pier, I got into the Queen's car, all the way to my heart could not calm down, I tightened my hand, my brain recalled all the things that had happened, I tried to calm myself down, Mrs. Josie was sitting beside me, she held my hand and gave me a lot of strength.
I watched the scenery drift by outside the car window as the surroundings became more and more familiar. The car finally stopped at the entrance of the Golden Hall, and when I got out of the car, by the door was the red-carpeted road that led to the interior of the hall.
From a distance, I could see Willian and Ambow standing at the front of everyone, with smiles, greeting the king's procession.
Willian bowed to the king and queen very gentlemanly, his appearance was still so charming, but in my opinion, there was a strange and familiar feeling, seeing him again, my heart had anger and joy, I kept repeating in my heart to tell myself the main task this time, reason finally prevailed.
"Venerable King, Venerable Queen, welcome to the Red Night Clan, where we sincerely await your arrival."
"Willian, you're still as handsome as ever! Get up now!"
The King and Willian's short greeting made me feel much more relaxed as if I was very naturally integrated into the present environment. I looked at Willian and waited for the look on his face when he saw me, more surprised I guess!
Willian raised his head, looked at the Queen, and then at me, his body seemed to stiffen and he looked at me motionlessly. Despite my veil, I was able to guess long ago that Willian would be able to recognize me.
His movements stiffened there for a long time until Ambow reminded him in a whisper, and I smiled slightly, not losing the decorum I should have had as the queen's sister.
Everything is in my expectation, the next step is to implement the plan prepared before, if you want to investigate the sister in the Red Night Clan, not to reveal the true identity is the key, but also need to use the resources available, such as Willian's love for Ambow, and the power given to me by the Queen.
The king walked forward, the queen followed him, I followed the queen, Albert put on a black mask, wearing a helmet, the whole face has been completely covered, I think no one recognized him yet.
Willian followed me and I could feel him watching me all the time. I think his mind must have been discerning whether I was Gina or not, and all I needed to do was to make him firmly believe that I was not Gina.
