Chapter 45 The first skirmish with Ambow
I don't know how long it took, my heart began to beat violently, I felt a little tired, I returned to the real world, I leaned in Willian's arms, gasping for breath, I could feel Willian's heartbeat was also fast.
Our cheeks are flushed, our bodies are steaming with heat, and our hearts are beating rapidly, like a man and woman in love when they first meet for the first time. Lovers become very shy when they hold hands and kiss for the first time, but we are not shy because we are shy.
"Brother Willian, I'm a little tired, can you accompany me to rest next to me?"
"Of course!"
Willian pulled me back to my seat, he seemed to notice that Ambow was no longer in his seat, he asked the maid next to him, who told him that Ambow was not feeling well, I pulled Willian towards the dessert table, I did not want Willian to leave because of Ambow before he probably would, but now I would never let that happen again I'm not going to let that happen again!
I pretended to pick the dessert carefully and served my favorite dessert to Willian. Next, I would share my favorite, which the queen said was to be able to let Willian get to know me and also to detect if he had the desire to continue to know me.
I don't think so, at least not with the king and queen around, but I'm willing to do it because I want him to reaffirm that I'm not Gina.
"Brother Willian, these are a few of my favorite desserts, will you share them with me?"
I knew Willian didn't like dessert, but I was surprised by his reaction. I was happy that he accepted my request with a smile and almost no hesitation.
I didn't mince words when I told him about my experiences abroad, partly made up of course, after all, as the Queen's sister, when studying abroad, I didn't worry about living expenses. willian's mood change was amazing, I could feel that he had accepted me completely in his heart.
To be honest, I don't think this is a victory for Evelynn, but rather a victory for Gina plus Evelynn together.
The feast was soon over, the king and queen went to their bedrooms, and I said goodbye to the queen, "Oh! My dear, did you have a good day?" The queen embraced me affectionately and whispered in my ear, "I can confirm that Willian is in love with you, and what you did just now was simply wonderful! I'm so happy for you! My dear!"
"Thank you, sis." I replied in a small voice, then we let go of each other's hands and I looked at the Queen and said very happily, "Sister, today was very pleasant, I thank you for bringing me here, I love it here and I love Brother Willian even more!"
The queen looked at Willian 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 lovely and I will arrange the best treatment for her, please don't worry!" Willian's words made me feel happy.
"Oh! Evelynn, we're going to bed, have a good night!"
"Good night, my dear sister!" I curtsied to the Queen and watched them go into their bedroom.
"Dear Evelynn, since the king didn't tell us that you would come along on this tour, Luna didn't prepare a suitable room for you, so if you don't mind please come back to my mansion with me! There are plenty of rooms there for you to choose from." Willian said as he looked me in the eyes.
I walked out of the hall and looked at the very bright moonlight outside and said to Willian, "Brother Willian, it's still early and I don't want to go back to bed in my room so soon, can you walk with me? I heard that there are very beautiful flowers in the garden behind the Golden Hall, and I like roses very much."
Willian's eyes became tender as he looked at me. He must have been thinking of Gina, which is of course what I was aiming for.
"Okay, but there are no more roses in the garden now." Willian walked toward the garden and I followed.
"Why, doesn't Brother Willian like roses?"
"Not really, it's just that I had those roses destroyed before because of some things I ...... I love roses as much as you do."
I walked up and took Willian's hand, and instead of pushing me away, he took my hand and walked into the garden.
"Brother Willian, I heard that the previous Luna was fond of roses, did she plant those flowers?"
"No, I planted them, but I destroyed them because of her. And because of that things got worse between us."
Willian stood at the garden gate, unwilling to move forward. He kept looking at the path, the path where we met then, and I think he might have been thinking about the scene that night.
I let go of his hand and walked forward, just as I had that night, crouching by the flowers to view them as Willian approached me.
"That was the scene that day, I saw Gina, I was attracted to her eyes, we talked for a while, but I hated her. Does that sound contradictory?"
My eyes could already see everything in the night like a normal werewolf. I saw Willian's expression of bitterness as I stood up and took his hand.
"So why do you hate her?" I asked.
But instead of answering my words directly, Willian reached out and caressed my face, his gentle palm sliding from the top of my head to my neck as he lifted my chin and looked at my lips, and held it there for some time. I had expected him to kiss, and then I had thought of many ways to reject him, but he gently lowered his hand and turned to look at the flowers.
"For my reasons, I just wanted to say sorry to her, but you're not here after all."
I stood still, looking at his back and feeling a little heartbroken. I didn't know, and arguably never knew what Willian was thinking, I simply thought he hated me and resented me because of my disability.
I reached out and wanted to hug him, but reason told me that none of this was necessarily true, and even if I knew what Willian thought at this point, it wouldn't do me any good. I didn't come back to hug Willian or simply return to his side, I came back to reveal Ambow's true nature and find out the truth about my sister's death.
Amber is still Luna, Willian is even still in love with her, and now he is saying so much to me, only to see such a scene produce that kind of feeling, I can not be so impulsive.
Willian walked forward, I followed silently, I smelled perfume in the air, from behind me, I turned to look, a woman's figure appeared in my field of vision.
"Who is it?" I asked, alerted.
"You must be Miss Evelynn! I'm here to see Willian."
I could hear Ambow's voice, and Willian stood behind me and said, "Ambow, what are you doing here?"
"My dear, you have not returned for a long time, I was worried about you, so I came to the Golden Hall to look for you, and heard the soldiers say that they saw you come here, why did you come here? This is the place that makes you sad and should be destroyed by the soldiers."
Ambow is expressing that she understands Willian, that she feels threatened by me, and is trying to assert her sovereignty over me.
I did not say anything, Willian has walked to my front, Ambow looked up at him and took the initiative to embrace him, "Honey, you worked hard today."
Willian left a kiss on her cheek, "Evelynn doesn't have a place to stay tonight, let's take her back to the mansion!"
"No! My dear, I have long since arranged a place for Miss Evelynn to stay, just inside the Golden Hall, and I think Miss Evelynn prefers to live closer to her sister!"
Amber looked at me, waiting for my answer, and I smiled and said, "Yes! But my sister said for me to interact more with Brother Willian, and I think she would prefer me to be closer to Brother Willian than to the Golden Hall."
Ambow's eyes twitched at the corners and her expression became unhappy as she took Willian's hand, expecting help from Willian.
Willian smiled and turned to me and said, "Excuse me, Miss Evelynn, I think the Golden Hall is more suitable for you, my mansion is far from here and we don't have the proper transportation to take you back."
"Since Brother Willian said so, I can stay here, but can I come to you tomorrow?"
"Of course, you are welcome!"
Amber was pleased with Willian's help, "Miss Evelynn, your room is on the second floor, a maid will take you there, I don't suppose you need my help?"
"Yes, Luna, I've always hated help from others, so you and Willian-brother go back first! After all, time is running out!"
Willian nodded to me to leave, Ambow was with a smile, but I knew she must be very annoyed with me in her heart right now, and if I did something against her again, she would take action.
I watched Willian and Ambow leave the back, the heart has begun to summarize the gains of the day, now Willian is not important, the important thing is Ambow in Willian's heart is what kind of.
When I returned to the Golden Hall, Mrs. Josie had been waiting at the door for a long time, and she saw me from afar and greeted me with great joy.
"Dear Miss Evelynn, you've worked hard, do you need to rest now?"
"No, Mrs. Josie, we need time to take stock."
Mrs. Josie understood what I meant and together we went back to the room Ambow had prepared for me that belonged to me, the room opposite the one I used to live in as Luna, I felt dizziness looking at the closed door because that was also the room where my sister died, that room had too many stories, I couldn't continue to look at it, it was like a place that inspired me to keep trying to move forward, just The sight of it filled my heart with hatred.
I closed the door and sat at the table with Mrs. Josie, who took out the notebook we had prepared earlier and began the day's summary.
