Chapter 47 The Shocking Thing
I guessed various reasons why Katie did not appear at the ball but did not think she would be used by Ambow in this situation, I thought of the way she came to me once, she wanted me to help her, she found out the true nature of Ambow, but at that time I did not help her because of my sister, after my death, Ambow will want to kill her!
"Miss Evelynn, what's wrong with you?"
Amber's voice pulled me back from my memories and I realized that my expression had become very angry. I gathered my composure and said to Ambow, "It's okay, I just suddenly felt a little unwell and I think I need to go back to rest."
I walked right around her and was about to go back to the Golden Hall when Ambow pulled my arm and said, "I know what you came back for, you want to snatch Willian from my hands again, right? I won't let you achieve that, even if you have the Queen behind you, but my backer will be bigger than you, you can't beat me!"
"You think too much, Lord Luna, I'm just wandering here, if there's anything that doesn't please you, you can just tell the Queen, I think she'll be very fair."
I shrugged her hand off straight away and went back to the golden hall.
Willian's POV
Evelynn bowed to the queen, and I suddenly thought of what Ambow had told me before, about the room. She only arranged the king and queen's room, the king's army came to find out that there is also Evelynn, Evelynn as the queen's sister, certainly can not be the same as other ministers, living in the general room, at least the arrangement of her room should be similar to the queen's.
At present, the only room in the Red Night Clan that has an arrangement like the Queen's room is Gina's room in my mansion, so I thought it would be okay if I arranged it this way.
I looked at Evelynn and said, "Dear Miss Evelynn, since the king did not tell us that you would come along on this tour, Luna did not 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."
Evelynn did not say anything, walked directly outside the Golden Hall, looked up at the bright moon, and said, "Brother Willian, it is still early, I do not want to go back to my room to sleep so soon, can you accompany me out for a walk? I heard that there are very beautiful flowers in the garden behind the Golden Hall, and I like roses."
She looks like Gina, whom I met in the garden, gentle and lovely.
I led her to the garden and explained to her, "Okay, but there are no more roses in the garden now."
"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, just like you do."
She walked up to me and took my hand and said, "Brother Willian, I heard that the previous Luna loved roses, did she plant those flowers?"
"No, I planted them, but I destroyed them because of her. It was also because of that incident that things got worse between us." I felt my heartache, I don't know why, but once I remembered something about Gina, it hurt like a pin in my heart. I looked at the path leading deep into the garden, a place I hadn't been for a long time, not since Gina died to be exact.
The place was full of memories that belonged to us, but all I could think of was bad, and I was reluctant to move forward, but Evelynn seemed interested, and she let go of my hand and walked forward, her eyes drawn to the flowers, squatting on the ground to observe them.
Gina and Evelynn are so much alike, yet so different.
I couldn't control my steps and walked toward Evelynn, just like I had walked toward Gina that night.
"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?" I said looking at Evelynn.
She looked at my face seriously, stood up, and took my hand, which was soft unlike Gina's, and she asked me softly, "So why do you hate her?"
I couldn't answer her directly, I looked into her face as if I saw Gina again, her eyes were the same as Gina's, her hair was soft and thin, her cheeks were rosy and smooth, her neck was snow white and attractive, I couldn't control my inner feelings when I saw such a scene, I reached out my hand to caress her, from her hair to her cheek and then to her neck, I wanted to kiss her, but when my hand lifted her chin, suddenly Thinking of Gina when she jumped off the cliff, I turned back only to find Evelynn's face very close to mine.
I dropped my hand and turned to look at the flowers.
She's not Gina after all, even if they are alike, but Gina can't be back here again! I have done many things wrong to Gina, and now I can't do anything wrong to Ambow again.
"For my reasons, I just wanted to say sorry to her, but you're not here after all."
I walked forward, deeper into the garden, I wanted to escape from this place, and I wanted to find a place where there was no one to cry, but I couldn't do it. Sometimes I envy Forsford, he can vent his emotions, he can do it in front of many people to express their true feelings, but I can never do it!
"Who is it?"
"You must be Miss Evelynn! I'm here to see Willian."
I heard a conversation behind me and turned around to see Ambow's figure, "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."
I walked up to Ambow and she hugged me, "Honey, you've had a hard day."
I looked at Ambow, kissed her on the cheek, and told her, "Evelynn has no 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 Evelynn, who 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. She took my hand and tilted her head, her eyes looking at me, expecting my answer.
I thought, at least now Ambow is my Luna, I promised to be good to her, even if I am interested in Evelynn who looks exactly like Gina, in this case, I have to stand beside Ambow to support her, I don't want Ambow to receive my cold attitude again as Gina did.
I smiled and turned to Evelynn 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 suitable 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!"
Evelynn was far more forgiving than I expected and I liked her character. Rambow's attitude also became better because of my words and she said to Evelynn, "Miss Evelynn, your room is on the second floor, a maid will take you there, I don't think you need my help anymore?"
"Yes, Luna, I've always hated help from others, so you and Willian-brother go back first! After all, time is running out!"
I could hear Ambow's hostility toward Evelynn, and I knew it was probably because of me. I nodded to Evelynn to leave, and Ambow took my hand and said goodbye to Evelynn.
We walked along the path at night, Ambow became very quiet today, my mind was remembering everything that happened today when I met Evelynn, I was happy, and Evelynn said to me when we parted that we would meet again tomorrow, I seemed to have some expectations.
But I saw no smile on Ambow's face and I inquired of her, "Honey, what's wrong with you?"
"Willian, are you thinking of Gina?"
Amber's words made me not know how to answer. If I say the truth, I am afraid she will be sad, but if I tell a lie, I am not willing to lie to her.
"I know, Evelynn is so much like Gina! Even sometimes I just think that it's Gina back! You feel the same way, don't you!" Amber didn't wait for my answer and continued, "I know, but I won't be mad that you still have feelings for Gina, but I want you to know, Willian, that you once told me that once the Gina thing was settled, you would be all good to me, does that statement still work?"
Amber stopped in her tracks, tears in her eyes, her pitiful look immediately made my heart soft, my heart ached for her understanding, I walked up and embraced her, stroking her back with both hands.
"Honey, no, it's probably because they are just too much alike and my consciousness is a little unclear, but you must be reassured to know that what I once said to you is still in effect."
Amber leaned into my arms and responded softly, "Okay, honey, I just think you're a little different today and I'm a little worried, I know you love me and I love you very much, so ...... That's why I'm really afraid of losing you!"
I instantly felt that I had made a serious mistake today, and I hugged Ambow and kept comforting her.
It took about half an hour for Ambow to stop crying and we walked hand in hand towards the mansion.
I guess my heart still loves Ambow the most!
As we walked to the mansion, I saw Jason standing at the door and I knew he must have something very important to do.
"King, there is something I need to tell you about Miss Evelynn."
