Chapter 40

Alexander's POV

Two days passed before the Queen arranged for another meeting. Me, Eve, Prince Phoenix and the King himself were going to attend. This was just getting bigger and bigger.

My brain refused to function properly. I didn't even know what was going on in Evie's head. She didn't say a word the whole day yesterday. She just followed me around the garden robotically and when the Prince came to pick her up, she simply obeyed, like a good servant. I hated seeing her like that. I know we're still servants anyway but she was being unresponsive again. No matter how hard I tried to make her talk or laugh, I only got back a slight nod. Nothing more.
