41 Chapter 41. City Belgonia (2/2)

Evan understood the situation and even though, he was annoyed by it, he made his way towards the scared female. When he stood directly in front of her, a sudden image of Aeinshia flashed in front of his eyes. Evan slightly flinched but, it was not that noticeable to anyone, expect Peter. A small frown gently settled on his face but, he decided to leave it aside and watch.

The maid started to shake badly and Evan sighed, defeatedly. ”No need to be afraid. I just have some questions for you.” Evan started as calm as ever. To say Peter was not surprised, would definitely be a lie. Evan is comforting someone who is not close to him? Maybe he was exaggerating with that sentence, Evan wasn't heartless but, he never comforted anyone aside from the people he is close to.

The maid peeked up to see the Prince's face and when she looked into his eyes, she quickly put her head down. She nodded meakily, saying she was good now. ”Can you tell me about your friend?” Evan raised his eyebrows and tilted his head to side. The maid now looked up to his face and frowned in confusion. Nevertheless, she started speaking to avoid any troubles.

”Her n-n-name is Ma-Maya. S-she lives a-alone.” she whimpered badly and continued. ”She h-helped me and s-some people around. She was k-kind and g-good.” she said, now a bit better with her speech. Everyone eagerly listened to her and she glanced around her nervously. She was not sure what was she supposed to say anymore.

”Anything about her past?” This time Peter took over stepping near her. The woman frowned a bit, thinking hard. ”She never talked about it.” She paused and seemed to dig inside her memory. Peter took this time to analyze her expressions. The woman jolted from her search for the information and stared at Evan with wide eyes.

”She used to tell me she used to work as maid in a rich house in City Belgonia.” she completed her sentence with a bit hesitation and doubt.

Suddenly, Evan and Peter had wide eyes. Peter immediately spoke up stepping towards the woman, to which she stepped back in fear. ”Are you sure?” Peter involuntarily raised his voice. The maid paused for some moments, which was absolute torture for the two men. She timidly nodded her head, confirming her said statement.

Evan and Peter shared a glance that said ”Are you thinking the same thing as me?” With wide eyes, they both nodded and quickly walked towards their horses.

Evan looked at Peter, who mounted his horse and spoke with a stern face.

”We found it.”
