Chapter 238 - Name

"Do you think it would help if I revealed it to him that we are already married? Or should I hide that fact for now and try to figure him out and find out the truth first?" Evie asked and everyone fell silent. They were as unsure as her it seems.

"I think we will leave the decision to you, Princess." Zolan answered. "However, I think, its better if you don't mention anything about the both of you being married yet. Because he might not believe it since he said he had already waited for you for such a long time. I think for now, you must focus on finding out about what had happened and what he meant by what he said that he had waited for you and how and when did he even met you. But if you encounter a chance that you think it's the right time for you to tell him about your marriage, then don't hesitate to go ahead and do it."

The man smiled at her with encouragement. "I think you are the only one here who is able to deal with him, Princess. And thankfully, even our Prince's other self is obviously madly in love with you. So, I am confident that he will never raise his hand to harm you. I also think that you have the power to tame him and then make him reveal all his secrets. Once we find out about the truth, I believe you will also find a way to bring the prince we know back to us."

Everyone was excited at the plan and looked at her with encouragement. The men were just like Evie, they just wanted their master back. Though the Gavriel right now was extremely powerful, they still preferred their reasonable prince. He was the person they respected the most. And they genuinely believed that this princess of theirs will be the key to unlocking the mystery that was surrounding their prince and his bizarre behaviour now. They had seen it before, the power that she wields over him in that dungeon. Though they knew it might be harder this time, but they do believe that their prince and princess loved each other very much that they would be able to overcome whatever challenges that come their way. Their love would conquer it all.

However, Zanya was still a little worried. She was surprised at how much the men all trusted that that blue-eyed man would never hurt the princess. Did they not feel the darkness and danger he was exuding in his aura? Could they truly trust that the princess would be safe in the arms of such a dangerous and unpredictable creature? And one that wields such powerful and lethal dark magic to boot.

Realizing the look in Zanya's eyes, Evie was about to reach out and touch the light fae when she noticed that her translucent skin had already started to dim. And her ears too had started to round out, resembling those of a human again.

"That's right, I think it's better if you hide your magic again for now, Zanya." Evie said approvingly and Zanya lifted her hands and stared at herself, eyes flickering with complex emotions.

"I am not hiding my magic, princess. I think it's slowly dying out now on its own." Zanya explained. "Since we're not in the Middle Land anymore. I guess this is all my magic could do when I'm outside of the land."

Before Evie could respond to her, they all heard the sounds of the locks clanging and metal door opening.

All of them became silent as Evie prepared herself. But to her surprise, it was not Gavriel who came through the doors. Vampire soldiers with dead looking eyes like how her men's eyes looked like before Gavriel released them from his control, appeared. 

There were three women dressed in maid outfits. They did not look like they were controlled puppets but to Evie's surprise, they were humans. It had been a while since she last saw a female human. And now there were three of them!

"Please come with us Milady. Lord Gavrael said that if you don't come with us, he'll punish one of your men if you force him to come over to get you himself." One of the maids said and Evie's face immediately darkened at the threat accompanying his order. It was hard to believe that such a tyrant lives inside her husband. More importantly… that name… Gavrael? Did she hear it right? He has a different name for the other personality that lives inside of him?

Shocked, Evie could only look at them.

"Please follow us now. The lord does not like delays, My Lady." The other maid added on softly, already looking terrified. When Evie looked closely at her, she could see that the maid was pale with what she assumed to be fright of her Lord and Master.

Evie looked back at her comrades and nodded at them, and then to Zanya.

"Please take care of her." Evie told the men and then she eyed Leon. "Leon, don't let anyone bully her - especially Levy." Evie smirked after saying that.

"Oh princess, why would you think I'd bully –" Levy moaned and exclaimed innocently.

"Shut up Levy!" Samuel cut him off before he could make a whole scene on his own.

Evie smiled at them. "I'll make sure that you will get out of this place too. And as soon as possible if I can help it." She stated confidently and everyone proudly smiled back at her as if cheering her on to do her best in her new task, just the way they had encouraged her when she was trying to tame the dragons back in Crescia.

With a determined gaze, Evie then turned around, straightened her back and followed the maids out of the dungeon. When they reached what seemed to be the final door of the underground prison, Evie took a deep breath as the door opened before her.
