Who Are You, Evans?

Scarlet pov

"My lady." I looked above the files as Aurora jumped the window.

"We still have doors open, Aurora. Would you stop jumping the walls?" I shook my head as she avoided the topic like always. She and her high heels that clank on the floor.

"I did what you asked me too. But I wonder since when have you been this caring!" She was looking at me curiously with her brown bright eyes and I sighed.

"He was getting bullied. Wasn't he?" I asked, avoiding her amusement as she nodded.

"Slaves always get bullied. And you always save them. Though all the credit goes to me while you are called devil." she shook her head as i started reading the paper again.

"By the way he is too handsome. Even i lost my composure for once when I saw him. And yet you gave him the job of a hostler. Can I take him to my palace?" her eyes were looking at me like a kid was waiting for his candy.

"Tsk tsk.. This is not the first time and the last time you have liked a man. Rather than looking at the man, you better look at your examination books, if you did not pass the exam this time, Caleb would take over completely and I will send you to the crown prince."

"Bully! You always bully me like them. I am a street jack! The news I can bring for you, Caleb could never do so and the way the palace staff feared me, they would never be scared of that wolf. So, you can not discard me as per your will." she replied nonchalantly as she sat there leisurely, pouting one leg on another, she started playing with the quill.

"Telling the person who was gone for all these days when my lady was attacked." came the voice of Caleb. I did not know how I could even bear them.

"Alright, both of you, I want you to take care of Evans. He should not be harassed or bullied but at the same time no one should know that he was being favored. I think the crown prince was only here because he got the news that my slave ran away and I went to bring him personally or else his excuse of coming here was too lame.`` Though confused, they both nodded as that was what they meant to do, follow my every order without asking a single question back.

"Aurora, I want you to keep an eye on the staff too. Though I have killed all of them, I still feel there is someone who is keeping an eye on my every action." she stood up and nodded.

"Will do. I will even go to meet the viscount today. He has a new deal to offer.'' I nodded and she left from the window again!

"She thinks she is the only hybrid here! Hmph!" I rolled my eyes at his sarcastic reply.

"My lady, I thought that you wanted to set Evans free. You even asked me to follow him and make sure that he will stay safe. Then why is it that you suddenly reached there and brought him back, that also using the dark magic."

"Only dark magic had the power to hide his marks. Or else they would have known where he is!" I replied and he frowned.

"The apprentice of the magical tower was following him that day. Even if you have made sure that he has settled safely for a long time. He would still have fallen for their tricks. We have to wait and see what their goal is!" he looked at me with a grim face as he heard me.

"My lady, we already have an enmity with a magical tower. Would it be fine to meddle in their affairs for a slave only. We have already paid his debt by saving him from the slave establishment."

"Is my life so cheap in your eyes, Caleb?" I asked in a sharp tone and he shivered.

"I.. I did not mean it that way, my lady. I just wanted to keep you away from trouble. But if that is the matter why did you not ask Aurora to keep an eye on them?" he asked, trying his best to control his emotions.

"Did you forget that she is a hybrid. Hybrids are the easiest to control through magic spells. She is already so unrestrained. Do you want her to lose control of her? For now we need to keep an eye on Evans to keep him secure and at the same time to know what he is hiding that the magical tower needs." he nodded his head in understanding.

"One more thing. I want you to go and find the leaves he had used to treat me. If he is good at medicine. Try to give him a job in the infirmary but it should look accidental." he took my hint and nodded.

"Then I shall take my leave too, my lady." I nodded as he bowed and left.

I looked at the papers in my hand. No matter how much I tried to look into his background there was nothing. Not even his parents name was there. I have never seen anyone's background that clean. As if he had fallen from the sky just a few years ago. Before that he was never seen, heard or known.

"Just who are you Evans?"
