Elizabeth had just woken up when she heard a knock on her door. But before she could even take a step, the door started knocking incessantly. She frowned as no one in the palace could do so except Evelyn. But she was behaving properly after her last scolding.
A scowl formed on her face as the door continued to bang. But before she could open the door and scold Eve, she mumbled,
"Leo fell in love with Evangeline." making Eli dumbfounded. It took her a second to come back to her senses. She turned and entered back in her room without saying a word.
Evelyn was expecting Eli to be flabbergasted just like her. She frowned when she did not get any reaction let alone be shocked. She followed Eli in, waiting for a word or two but nothing came.
"Are you not shocked?" she could not help but ask. Though Eli was strict, she loved her siblings dearly. And Leo was like a child to her. So, her lack of reaction confused Eve.
