Flashback: Meeting Evelyn

"How dare you glare at me, you thief!" The abuser spat loudly and raised his hand to strike her hard across the face when he heard a thunderous "Stop!"

The voice sounded as if it was coming from the deep recesses of hell, and when the man turned towards the direction of the sound, he gulped, his eyes widening.

When he saw the prince, who had just descended from his horse and was hurriedly approaching him like an angel of darkness, the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end.

'Isn't this the eldest prince? The man who crushes his enemies under his foot like mere ants? Did he know this woman?' he thought, panicking.

"Yo…your Highness, please spare…" The man was offering his greetings to the prince, but he ignored her and scrunched down to the woman's level.
