The knock on the door created a deep frown on the face of Evangeline. She tried to cover her ears by the pillow while shuffling on the bed!

"Go away!

" she mumbled as the pillow was not of much help against the incessant knocking of the door.

As if someone was taking revenge from the door, the force used on it only increased with time.

"Aarrgghh!

" It had taken all her strength to coax Leo into leaving her room last night. Like the wolf he had demanded that he would sleep with her making the excuse that his injury needed her complete attention.

And once she was able to do that. The flashes of the whole day started to fill her mind and she had a hard time sleeping.

She could not believe that Leo had proposed to her and even when she had decided that she would take her time to think about it, not only had she agreed to it, they even kissed so many times.

As if the day was longer than centuries! So many things happened there! All night, the thoughts continued to crawl out of her mind that she was not able to take a single breath.

Who would have thought that she would only be able to sleep when the sky had already turned a deep shade of orange.

And now, just when she had started to enjoy the luxury of sleep, the door was knocking again!

She did not need to think twice that it was Leo or his knights who were calling her.

But since she had decided to accept his love, he had to pamper her now and treat her better. For that, he needed to respect her sleep.

"Leo, I am telling you, if you do not respect my sleep, then I will reject you again and then you will die single!

" she hollered as she shuffled on her bed and covered her with the blanket this time.

Her whole body had formed a small ball on the center of the bed like a kid and she was holding her knees tightly.

"My lady!

" the pleading voice came from the other side, as if the girl would cry if she would not open the door but Evan did not care.

The man had already bossed her around for days! If she would not show her stand now, then he would be the one to boss her all his life! She would never let that happen.

"Go and tell your master that the princess needed her beauty sleep!

" Her voice was filled with arrogance, though she was sure that her sleep was already disrupted and she would not be able to sleep now.

"My lady!

"

Evan frowned when the maid did not listen to her. Not only was he very dominating, even his maids did not treat him better. The thought infuriated her and she replied in a cold voice.

"Didn't I tell you to leave already? Why are you still knocking the door? Do you think I would listen to every word said by the young lord?

I am not brought here by him but his highness. I am only bound to listen to him!

" with a voice full of disdain, she replied as she sat up on the edge of the bed and looked at the door with a glare as if the maid could see her expression on the other side.

"My lady, first listen to me!

" This time the voice sounded a bit more confident, which surprised Evan who had thought that this much would be enough to explain that she would not relent.

With her brows knitted into a thin line and three deep lines formed on her forehead, she stood up and walked towards the door stomping her feet on the floor.

"What is it?

" the maid took a step back with terrified eyes when the door opened abruptly and the angry face of Evan came into view?

"I know that you serve master Leo, but it did not mean that I did not have the right to decide my schedule.

Haven't I told you that I would only listen to his highness. So you better come only when his highness calls for me.

" she demanded and the maid nodded her head but did not leave. That brought a frown on the face of the girl who thought that she had already explained enough, if the maid would not listen to her now.

She would go and complain with Leo.

"Why are you still here?

" with her hands crossed in front of her chest, Evan asked in a cold voice.

"That's what I am trying to tell you, my lady. His highness had come back in the morning, and he had sent me here to call for you.

His highness wants to meet you urgently!

" her whole body froze when she heard the reply of the maid.

She was not expecting that the duke would call for her as soon as he would come back.

"Give me a minute!

" she closed the door with a bang even before the maid could reply and dashed towards the washroom.

Cleaning her face and brushing her teeth, she wore the dress her hands held first and dressed up as fast as possible and opened the door again for the maid who was still waiting there diligently.

With a nod they both walked towards the room when she saw Leo already standing there and knocking on it.

"Why are you here?

" thought he had asked her, his eyes were still swirling as the possibilities crossed his mind.

"Both of you come in, I have an urgent matter to discuss with you!
