She started walking towards the waiting lounge which would then lead to the entrance, her pace slow yet steady. Her long strides made her look like she was walking quickly but she walked leisurely but in an elegant and sophisticated manner.
She exited the Guest Palace and then walked towards the Great Hall, where she could find everyone in one place.
She was about to enter, when someone called out for her from behind. It was full of shock and surprise and relief in the voice.
"Rose" Oliver called out for Evelina, when she turned around he breathed out on relief.
Beside him, Harry, Neville and Hannah also breathed out in relief and delight. Evelina smiled warmly towards her father and walked towards them.
She was about to go forward and hug her father but he stepped back, confusing Harry, Neville and Hannah but Evelina frowned in dismay and looked at her father in disbelief.
"Oliver, what are you doing. This is not the time to be angry at her and she saved everyone. Give her a hug first and then you can reprimand her to your heart's content" Harry said as he nudged Oliver towards Evelina.
"I am not angry but I cannot touch...Her Highness" Oliver said in a respectful and polite tone as he bowed to Evelina respectfully.
Harry, Neville and Hannah were shocked but quickly bowed and dipped respectively in respect to the Royal Heir.
Evelina felt like her heart was under fire, she could not say anything but could only look at her father and other three in despair and hurt.
"Father...Please..." Evelina breathed out painfully, she could no longer bear these etiquette.
Even if she was talented and powerful but she was still just a fifteen year old girl who yearns for her father's love and care, she also wants to be her daddy's girl just like any other normal girl but being treated like this was painful and was hurting her heart very badly and gravely.
Oliver could do nothing but stay in the same position as his bow was not accepted yet or he was not asked to rise yet.
"R-Rise" Evelina gave out the order in a slightly quivering voice, her eyes were full of tears and pain.
This was the scene were Antonio exited the Great Hall along with the four Ambassadors. He was shocked, when he noticed her eyes full of pain and tears.
He rushed towards Evelina, he waved his hand quickly asking the four elders to not bow for him. He reached Evelina and looked at her from top to bottom, to see for any visible wounds.
"Princess Evelina, are you hurt somewhere, are you in pain, could you let me check your pulse" Antonio asked in an anxious and worried voice.
Evelina looked at him, her eyes full of pain. She was trying her best to control her tears and not let them fall from her eyes.
"E-Elder Brother, F-Father is not allowing me to hug him b-because he is n-not a-allowed to t-touch me" Evelina said in a quivering voice, her breathes painful.
Antonio frowned and looked at Oliver but could not say anything, he took Evelina's right wrist and took her pulse, after a moment his eyes contracted violently as he looked at Evelina anxiously.
"Little Sister, control your energy channels or else it will go haywire. Little Sister are you listening to me, please snap out of it. I promise that Uncle Oliver will hug you if you listen to me" Antonio pleaded her anxiously, while keeping her pulse in check in worridly.
