"My lady, would you come to the training area often now?

" asked Raymond trying to break the awkward silence.

nHis face still had that warm smile which would make anyone at ease.

n

"I think so. I am not sure how Leo would take the decision.

" Evan replied honestly. If asked she still preferred a few hour class taken by Eli and Eve rather than spending the whole day here with the flings of Leo that did not leave them alone even for a second.

nLeo tilted his head and looked at Raymond with his gaze narrowed on him that he felt a bit embarrassed.

n

"I would think about it if i would bring my future wife with me or not!

" Evan rolled her eyes as he had addressed her. He was taking the show too realistically!

nWas he not scared that Olivia would be angry if he was trying to improve his relationship with her! Let it be! She had nothing to do with the man!

nOlivia was finding it hard to maintain her calm face! Did he not accept her invitation to come and meet her family? He even had initiated to bring his family too. Then why was he behaving like that?

nShe could not accept that she was treated as an extra in this relationship! Even if he was thinking of still taking Evan as his lover, he should at least stop addressing her as his future wife!

nDid he not know how she felt about it? If it continued, she would end up becoming the laughing stock in nobles society.

nNo! She would clear it over dinner when Leo would visit her house. When this vixen would not be lingering closer to him. That would be the time when he would be able to think freely and make a rational decision.

nShe could not help but wonder if she had done some kind of spell over him.

n

"My lord we are here.

" Everyone took a breath of relief when the odd journey finally ended.

nRaymond was sitting on the edge.

nThe door of the carriage was opened and Raymond was the first to walk out as he was sitting near the door. He turned and forwarded his hand with a bright smile on his face to help Evan in coming out of the carriage.

nBut his smile stiffened when his twinkling eyes met with the dark eyes of Leo who was shooting daggers at him with that deep gaze.

nHe moved his hands away with the lightning speed and smiled awkwardly.

nLeo came out of the carriage and then turned and raised his head to hold the hand of Evan just behind her.

nEvan looked at the forwarded hand and then at Leo with bewilderment. It was the first time he had forwarded her hands to help her in coming out of the carriage.

n

"Have you eaten anything wrong or bumped into the wall?

" the words left her mouth instinctively before she could stop herself from speaking further.

nWhen she realised what she had said, she covered her mouth with the palm of her hands and looked at Leo with embarrassed eyes whose face had already turned darker.

n

"Hold it when I am still offering you a hand in coming out of the corrage, or it would not tell me a minute to push you off the cliff!

" Evan did not need to be told twice that the lord was furious and her life was at stake.

nShe held his hand tightly as if her life was depending on this hold and gave him a flattering smile

nHe knew that the girl was cursing him in her heart and the smile was only flattering and she did not mean a thing, yet the frost in his eyes started dissipating when he saw her acting coyly in front of him.

n

"My lord, you are finally here. I collected all the information you have asked for..

" the graveness in his eyes returned when he heard the word of his aide who was coming running from the other side.

nHis face was pale and full of sweat and he was looking too worried.

n

"Be good and do not roam around. I will be back soon!

" he instructed Evan as if she was a small kid before turning and leaving with Arden with a serious look on his face.

nEven Evan felt there was something missing when she looked at the expression on Arden's face, so she nodded obediently without giving him another reason to worry.

n

"Oh, you are here! Do not tell me you are running away from another match, because you lost one with your master!

" came the loud voice of the knights from the other side of the ground and Raymond turned and glared at them.

n

"My lady. I need to go now. Would you come with me to see another match?

" he asked with so much hope in his voice and Evan was about to nod but when she remembered her promise with Leo, she shook her head.

n

"I am tired, i want to rest for a while!

" as the words left her mouth, his bright eyes turned a bit dim but he nodded his head in understanding.

n

"Then, I guess I have to leave alone. But if you have time, do come to see the match. It would be more interesting than the previous one!

" he urged again and she nodded her head with a smile.

n

"Come on.. Or I would go instead of you!

" his friends called again and Raymond sighed. Bowing his head he left reluctantly from there while turning again and again to see if she had changed her mind.

n

".....

" Olivia who was still standing on the door of the carriage waiting for someone to give her a hand too felt humiliated once again. She could not believe that they had forgotten about her once again.

n

"Wait right there, Evangeline. How dare you do so?

"
