23 Chapter 23. Talk for a walk (2/2)

While few others thought, it was nothing as they would however marry in the near future as this was an order passed by the emperor which cannot be taken back easily since, the words came out of an emperor's mouth are like orders came out from the god itself and no one could question his decisions.

”Where are you taking me Evan? ”,her sound low revealing her fatigue. she was already tired and the secret peeks from others making it even more uncomfortable for her.

” Let's go to empress garden. But, before that we got a work to do? ”, he enthusiastically led her towards his chambers.

Aeinshia's mind once again started to wander at the mention of Empress garden. She loved her empress mother dearly and they shared many good memories in her garden.

That garden used to be the empress' favorite place. It's said that she herself planted the flowers in that garden. Which was true. Little Aeinshia and Evan saw the empress plant and talk about the plants she planted and took care with utmosy sincerity and love. It was this garden where Aeinshia stayed most of her childhood, played with Evan and shared many happy evenings with her empress mother.

However, after the empress's death Aeinshia never went to visit the garden which would only remind of her empress mother, which ,....

After the first empress death, her uncle denied to marry another empress and didn't even promote any of his four queens as the empress leaving the spot beside him empty.

Her rushing thoughts took a halt only when her legs took a stop. Aeinshia understood She entered into an unfamiliar room. She scanned the entire room came into a conclusion that it must be his room. ”Why did you bring me to your chambers?”, she asked innocently not knowing why they should visit his room before going for a walk in the garden.

” You need to change your clothing. Don't you see you got your dress torn”, his eyes directed her eyes to show the torn cloth. It was ripped at the hem if the dress which isn't really a problem for her but, it wasn't her home and at present she was in palace many eyes watching her.

Her expression changed in a lightening speed when she realized what he heard was true, how could I be so careless? How can I forget about this even when I saw a piece of cloth got attached to the sharp edge of the handle in Marquess Cullen's mansion. I must have forgotten about it since I got very happy finding an evidence related to the case. But even then, it was so embarrassing. I even went straight into the meeting room with these ruined clothes of mine. I just hope it was only Prince Evan who noticed it... She went on and on as she cursed herself for being forgetful as she muttered all these in her heart, she then closed her eyes, her teeth biting her lower lip, took a deep breath and signed a calm breath as she composed herself.

Turning to the Prince, ''Since my clothes are torn now, I think it's better to return to my home ”, she replied sternly .

Her reply disappointed him. But he was not the type to lose hope easily. He was man of determination, ” It's not a problem. I already have a solution ”, he smirked in triumph.

” And what could it be? ”, she asked haughtily amused hearing him.

He went near a wardrobe and picked a dress for her, ” You can wear it for now? ”, as he told he handed the dress to her.

Taking it in her hands, she began to inspect it. It was a beautiful blue gown which must have cost him a lot. Of course, it's not her business to worry about the money, and since he is a Prince, money can't be any problem to him. She could gladly accept his kindness.

But the what bothered her most was he doing with a girl's dress in his wardrobe. This questioned lingered in her brain and bothered her too much for her liking.

”And what business does a girl's dress have in a prince's wardrobe? ”, she asked him as her eyes landed on his face not wanting to miss any of his emotions when he was answering.

And then something unexpected happened. Not in a million years Aeinshia would have expected to see this. Especially as this was coming from the cold hearted and emotionless Prince Evan Seazle.
