EVIE
The night was dark as the clouds covered the stars in the sky. But it wasn't obvious as it felt like it was still day in Edin with its lights that were as bright as the sun.
Still, it will not stop Evie from proceeding with her plan of escape.
She waited until the nobles have left the Palace and the only noise that could be heard in the Palace was the snores of the sleeping servants.
Evie held on to the door of their chamber and gave a quick glance at Joyce, who was sleeping soundly in her bed.
The duke of Athesus told her that she slept in their chamber from the early evening as she accidentally took a strong wine.
As she watched her snoring, she recalled their conversation where she asked her if she would like to stay in Edin, and she answered her with a resounding yes.
'Besides, she might cause this plan to fail. I better do it alone,' Evie resolved to herself.
