“Miss Ruby?”
Ruby was startled to her core when she heard a voice from outside the door. “No, no, no! I cannot be caught!” She quickly turned to look at the window of her room with the intention to escape.
However, before she could even properly think about doing that, a maid who had been closely serving Ruby during her stay in the castle pushed the door open.
“Miss Ruby!” She instantly widened her eyes and then ran inside the room to hold Ruby’s hands. “Where were you for all these days? The Crown Pri– Er... the King looked for you everywhere! He even mobilized the soldiers to look for you in the town. Do you even know how much you have troubled him by disappearing?”
Ruby had no idea that Everard had mobilized the soldiers to look for her in the town. That touched Ruby’s heart a little. However, she was still sad thinking that Everard wasn’t looking for him anymore.
“But all his troubles also disappeared when I disappeared, didn’t it?”
“What? No! He–”
