Robert was standing next to Evan, who looked depressed and anxious, after a while, he asked in a low voice, "Mr. Howel, shall I collect more information for you?"

Evan raised his arms, suggesting not to bother Avery. He knew Avery very well. If she finds someone monitors their conversation, she must be angry.

Evan had his own plan. Whatever happens, he must try everything to protect the little Princess and Avery.

When Evan lowered his head, glancing at his watch and finding almost 30 minutes passed, the door finally opened.

Avery looked peaceful while Maeve looked satisfied. Telling from their expression, Evan knew the negotiation went very well, especially for Maeve.

When Maeve looked at Evan meaningfully, Evan was very annoyed and squinted at her with a smile. Soon, Maeve got on the horse again with the help of her bodyguard.

Soon, Maeve left with a group of people.

Robert was surprised that Maeve just left without saying a word.

"Maeve just claimed that she would arrest Mrs. Howel and bring him to justice. But now, she left. Why? What did they talk about?" thought Robert.

While Robert was thinking, he was bringing a horse. Then Evan carried Avery onto the horse and sat behind her.

Avery's back was close to Evan's front chest. She could even feel that he breathed hard and strong.

Sometimes, Evan moved forth and back.

Suddenly, Evan whispered to Avery, "I'm sorry."

Avery's shoulder moved slightly. She would have thought that Evan wanted to ask what she and Maeve said, but now Evan apologized to her.

"I must be with you whenever you need me. I'm sorry I came late this time."

Avery asked, her throat tightened, "Why don't you ask me what I talked to Maeve?"

"I already knew it," Evan answered with a bitter smile. As Avery's husband, he knew Avery very well.

Evan held the rein tight, holding her with both arms, "What does Maeve want?"

Avery was silent.

"Someone would give up what she or he wants if there is something better," Evan inferred.

Avery bit her lips and thought, "It is true. Maeve wants him."

Evan found Avery looked abnormal, so he asked in a low voice, "Can I help you?"

Evan remembered that Avery told him that the little Princess first and she would manage to deal with Maeve. Thus, He guessed what they discussed.

"I want you to cooperate with me."

Evan grabbed the rein hard, and then the horse stopped. When Avery naturally leaned back, Evan said to her, "You just discussed this?"

Avery knew Evan was angry, so she comforted him, "We need more time. Maeve got hypochondria, so she regards you as her boyfriend. It is just a play. You should pretend to her husband, but it is not true. You know, I don't want you to be with her even if you ask."

"It is impossible. I won't do that. It would be better to kill her."

"There are many of her bodyguards here. If we leave the Presidential Palace, we have no white worms, and then the little Princess will be in danger. For the little Princess, could you please give me a hand?"

"Our bodyguards are on their way to Ancient Country, but there are restrictions on the number of people who can enter. They would arrive a few days later.

Although Evan knew it was a kind of martial art. Avery had to make a negotiation with Maeve. Otherwise, the conflict between Maeve and Avery would become stronger.

Evan felt uncomfortable when he knew Avery promised Maeve to give Evan to her though it was a good tactic.

"Is it a possible way to save this problem?" thought Evan.

Evan held Avery's waist hard and said, "Forget about it."

"How can we save the little Princess?"

"As long as Maeve surrendered, it won't be a problem."

"The Princess can't wait until you make Maeve surrender," Avery answered. As her wound got bigger, less time left for treatment.

"Don't you mind if I am with Maeve?" Evan asked. He really cared about it.

"I care. So, you mustn't do something improper," Avery said seriously. Then she buried her face in Evan's chest and took a deep breath. Since Evan didn't change clothes, Avery got the smell of perfume.

Avery frowned and said, "Take a shower and change all your clothes."

Evan pinched Avery's waist and warned, "Do you want to show your kindness? I won't agree easily."

Evan didn't want to stay with Maeve for a moment.

"I will compensate you, all right?" Avery bit his button and then added, "From another perspective, I trust you that you won't do something wrong."

"But why don't you trust me when I had dinner with her by the lake?"

Avery knew Evan felt uncomfortable about that point, so she explained, "I was angry because you didn't tell me your plan in advance. You shouldn't take all the responsibility by yourself. Do you remember the wedding of Meyers? You did the same thing that day, so this time, I must warn you."

"So, what's your plan?"

"To heal the little Princess's wound and go back to B Country."

"B Country?"

"If not so?"

"Go back with me," Evan said. He aimed to bring Avery back. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come here and claimed he was Mr. Lautner.

Avery was silent. "Go back to the Howels' House? How can I propose to him?" thought Avery.

"Will you?"

"Would you like to cooperate with me? If you would like to, I believe you will be back to the Howels' house soon."

Reluctantly, he agreed.

He had to admit that it was the best plan.

Evan was deep in thought, "How can you compensate?"

"Do what you like on the bed."

Evan was speechless.

"What is in her mind? Fine! I love it!" thought Evan.

"Probably, I will be out of control and beat Maeve," Evan said though he had never beaten a woman.

"She is okay with that," Avery answered. She thought Maeve would regard everything that Evan did as a kind of love to her.

"Maeve won't give up Evan even if I don't agree with her. Thus it is reasonable to do so though there is no justice to attack others with their weakness," thought Avery.

"You never keep me in your mind," Evan said annoyingly. He was surprised that Avery felt okay even if he would be with Maeve.

"Nonsense," Avery held Evan's hand and put it on her heart, "Can you feel it?"

"Shit. She dares to seduce me. Oh my god. How can't I love her?" thought Evan.
