Chapter 62: Amber gets beaten up

When I arrived at the pier, Evelyn and her maid had already met the warriors from the palace, who got along very well with Evelyn, and after meeting them, they set off for the Golden Hall.
I had never seen Evelyn so happy, they talked about everything, like they were particularly close friends, my heart became very difficult, I followed them, watching all this, even though I did not want to see such a scene, but I did not want to leave.
Jealousy made me become impulsive, I wanted to walk up to Evelyn and take her away, but reason kept telling me that I was not qualified to interfere with Evelyn's life and that I should not be here, but unknowingly I had accompanied them almost to the golden hall.
The reason that had suppressed all the way was taken over by impulse in a flash, and I walked up to Evelyn, but when I came back to my senses, I realized that I had no idea what I should do or say.
"Lord William, what brings you here?"
"Nothing, I was just walking around." I tried hard to look casual and not let her find out what was going on inside me, but the moment I saw her I knew my thoughts were so childish that I kept my eyes on her and never left them.
Evelyn introduced me to the two warriors, "This is Lord Alpha of the Red Night Clan, William." Then added to me, "These two are warriors sent from the palace, Lord Hunter and Chaddon, to keep me safe."
"My Red Night Clan warriors can also protect your safety!" I blurted out, I instantly perceived that what I said was really too unreasonable, it was easy for others to misunderstand, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, not displeased with Lord Hunter and Lord Chaton, just felt that you came from so far away, it was very hard, of course I would love to invite Lord Hunter and Chaton to my mansion as guests. "
"No, Lord Alpha, the only thing we came here is to protect Evelyn-sama's safety, we will protect her around the clock twenty-four hours a day, for you to invite us this thing is not necessary, of course, if Evelyn-sama is willing to go, we will be willing to accompany, we all take Evelyn-sama's safety as the first! "
The very cheerful warrior came forward and said to me, I was most unhappy with him because he was always joking with Evelyn, I stood still, hard and embarrassed, I did not think carefully about what exactly I needed to do today, behaving not at all like an Alpha should posture.
Another warrior stepped forward and said, "Lord Alpha, you don't need to invite us, we only showed up here so late because there were some unfinished business in the palace, we could have come with Evelyn-sama, so you don't need to feast us specifically for that reason."
I tried hard to squeeze a smile on my face, I think my expression must be very ugly now, I have forgotten how a smile should look like, "So that's how it is! In that case, I wish you all a good time, and if you have any questions please do let me know, I'll be sure to meet all your reasonable requests!"
"Yes, thank you Lord Alpha, of course if there is nothing else, can we be allowed to go back first? The long journey has already made me feel exhausted!" The cheerful warrior, who was also so rudderless, stretched out his back and said to me.
I looked at Evelyn and said, "Yes, the room in the Golden Hall has been arranged for you, and many more things have been added under the previous arrangement of Miss Evelyn, so I hope you will stay more comfortable!"
I wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, my performance today was so bad! After they left, I stood still, the scene just now made me blush, I had wanted to look my best in front of Evelyn, but the two warriors didn't seem to want to give me that chance, I didn't know what to do, and let the wind blow my hair away.
I can imagine that I now look like a reed floating in the wind, fragile, ugly and wavering.
I don't know when I moved my pace, and I don't know when I returned to the barracks. When my consciousness became clear, I was already sitting in the tent, with things that needed to be dealt with in front of me, and I was the only one in the whole tent.
I feel like I can't go on like this, I'm the Alpha of the Red Night Clan, everything has to be done in the interest of the Red Night Clan first. This phrase is so familiar! My brain recalled that negotiation with Aldrich where I had said very firmly that I would never give up the interests of the Red Night Clan for any reason whatsoever, but now I seemed to have some understanding of Aldrich's feelings at that time.
I sent a message to Amber, telling her that I would not go back tonight, I need to deal with the affairs accumulated in the past few days, the enthusiasm for work made me quickly put aside the embarrassment just now.
After a night of thinking, I decided to go all out and work with Evelyn to change the very dangerous situation now. I arranged the Red Night Clan's troops during the morning meeting, because Evelyn would be here later, and the things we discussed yesterday about the king's army, I think she had already arranged them. I don't know why my own would trust her so much, this natural trust makes me feel incredible myself!
Everything went so smoothly today, and I was surprised to meet with Evelyn. She didn't seem to remember last night's events, and we just had a pleasant conversation about the day's work, which made me feel very comfortable.
Evelyn placed the troops at the border, near the White and Night Clans, and the next thing we had to do was to strengthen our guard and wait for the opportunity.
I came home at 7:30 p.m. and Amber was not home, which surprised me. Many times before I came home late at night, I always thought Amber was home alone and blamed myself for making her feel lonely, today I came home early but found it was not what I thought.
I asked the maid standing at the door of Amber's room, "Where did Luna-sama go?"
The maid, who I think was new and whom I seem to have never seen before, did not become nervous like the other maids when she saw me, but said very calmly, "Golden Hall, Lord Luna said there were some things to take care of."
"That's where Evelyn-sama lives, did she go to find Evelyn-sama?" I didn't think much about it, I just thought that there didn't seem to be anything wrong with Amber going to Evelyn, I turned around and went back to my room and sent a message to Amber, which didn't get a response by then.
As time moved on and I still hadn't seen Amber return, I felt increasingly uneasy, and when I stood up to go to the Golden Hall to look for Amber, the door to the mansion was opened.
A familiar figure appeared in my field of vision, it was Amber!
I walked towards her, Amber's pace became slow from the rush she had just started, and she stopped walking when she saw me and stood still waiting for me to walk to her side.
"William!" Amber very weakly fell into my arms, I was shocked by such behavior, but instantly felt something different about her.
"Are you hurt? Who hurt you?" I picked her up and walked toward the room.
"William, I was so close to not seeing you again! I was so scared!" Amber buried her head into my shoulder, crying so hard she couldn't speak clearly.
"What the hell happened? Honey, did you get attacked? Was it an army of the White Night Clan? Or was it an army of the Night Clan?" I gently placed Amber on my bed and sat on the edge of it to comfort her.
She closed her eyes and tears dripped down the corners of her eyes onto the pillow with a pained expression.
"No, William, please you must believe me, it was that woman who hurt me!" Amber shook her head vigorously, clenching her fist, and when she said that woman, my heart seemed to pause for a moment, the scene was surprisingly familiar!
When Gina was not yet dead, it seems to have happened like this, but I can't even remember the exact details, so is it the same this time?
Amber was covered in blood, but her wounds were few and far between, and I brought in the medicine cabinet to give her simple treatment.
"William, you're going to want to believe me aren't you?"
"Honey, you haven't said who hurt you."
"It was Evelyn! The queen's sister!" Amber said with all the strength she could muster.
It was as if I felt my heart suddenly stop for a second, and it was Evelyn! But why did I not believe Amber's words so much this time?
I don't know why, but seeing Amber's weak and pitiful face, I didn't want to say inappropriate words to hurt her at this time.
"Then why was it? Why did Miss Evelyn hit you?" I asked as I tended to Amber's wounds.
"This evening I wanted to go to the Golden Hall to see Miss Evelyn to ask some questions about her upbringing, she came to us as a guest and I wanted to think more about her to prevent the queen from being displeased with us in the future."
"My dear, that is a very good idea of yours."
"Yes, I also thought it was very good before I left, but ......" Amber said and could not continue, tears could not help but flow downward, I dried her tears and gestured for her to continue.
"But what?"
"But when I got there, her maid told me she was in the garden, so I went straight to the garden, but instead I was violently beaten by two men! They didn't say anything, they just beat me, and although the night was dim, I was able to see clearly that they were two of Miss Evelyn's escorts! They should be the same two men who arrived only yesterday! I knew I couldn't stay there any longer, so I fled back! William, my dear! Please, you must avenge me! All the dignity of being Luna has been trampled by Evelyn! She is insulting our Red Night clan!"
Amber's words made me feel angry, but reason told me that there were too many unreasonable things, why would Evelyn hit Amber, she is not the kind of person who is unreasonable.
I looked at Amber's aggrieved look, and some heartache, so I comforted her and said, "Honey, I will protect you, tomorrow I will go to Evelyn, if she really bullied you, I will help you, I will punish her, no matter who she is, no matter what reasoning, bullying my Luna should be punished!"
I stayed with Amber until she fell asleep.
