217 The War

It was dinner time.

Ezra and Elliot were telling another wonderful story to Evelyn today.

Even the servants standing around were completely immersed in the story. However, Evelyn looked lost in her own thoughts.

"If the war didn't start…then His Highness will come back soon, won't he?"

She blurted out suddenly making Ezra who was speaking stop amidst his words suddenly.

The three knights who heard Evelyn's words sighed as they looked at each other.

"My Lady, His Highness will need to stay there for a few more days even if the enemies don't attack."

It was Elliot who spoke. His voice was soft as he continued

"His Highness is there when we doubt that there can be an attack so he can only come back when we are completely sure that this was only a false alarm. It might be possible that His Highness gets ready to leave and the enemies attack just then."

Evelyn nodded her head in understanding.
