Evanna ended up staying in the prince's room for the remainder of the late afternoon and evening. But she was so fatigued; her constant watching of the prince, who merely started reading his book in a separate chamber, made her relax more as tiredness washed over her. He never seemed to try and touch her and only engaged with her when she asked questions.
Evanna had tried sneaking away, but after opening one of the doors slightly and peeking outside, she nearly fell back from the two guards standing directly outside the double doors. There were more than just the two guards there though, Garrett had disappeared but left in his wake, around ten guards who stood as still as statues, their backs straight and stiff, and not once talking to each other.
How boring!
When Evanna retreated, she slowly stepped backwards, keeping her feet light on the ground.
"Going somewhere?"
