“You will do that?” In her excitement, Ruby grabbed Everard’s palm with both of her hands and exclaimed in disbelief.

Everard gave a nod. “I am not someone who gives false hopes.”

Now that he wasn’t in a position to go to Sorvando himself, he was also thinking of asking the others to rescue one more person along with Ruby’s parents. All he needed to do was choose the right people and do proper planning before sending them on the mission.

Everard agreed with himself inwardly and replied to Ruby with a subtle smile on his face, “But first, let’s see how the situation of Sorvando is. If those vampires aren’t patrolling as much as before then I can send some spies to fetch them.”

“Human spies, right?” she asked just to confirm.

She didn’t want to further endanger her parents’ lives by letting the vampires see them with the werewolves. That would just be too foolish since the vampires would easily be alerted by the smell. And if those werewolves weren’t killed by the vampires on sight, she was afraid that those werewolves would lead those red-eyes right to her.

Everard nodded. “Yes. I don’t think it would be wise to send the werewolves to Sorvando after the incident with us.”

Ruby couldn’t agree more. She smiled ear to ear and then bowed her head to her savior, “Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Your Highness.” When she bowed, she realized that she was gripping Everard’s hand. She swiftly let go of her hold on him and awkwardly rested her hand on her lap.

.....

Everard, on the other hand, wished that she would address him as ‘my prince’ more often. However, he didn’t vocalize his inner thought.

Rather, he remembered something else and asked Ruby, “I had completely forgotten about the full moon! I lost track of it. When’s it again?”

Ruby was so glad that he asked.

When they had disappeared for the whole day in Lavinya, the two of them had bought the chains, and Everard had taken her to show the cave that he thought was appropriate to use during their transformation. They had planned everything for the full moon night.

But that planning had gone into ruins now that they were in Xanmar. In the rush, Ruby had forgotten to pack the chains, and now she had no idea where to buy such strong chains, or which place to use to isolate herself during her transformation.

“It is tomorrow, my Prince,” she replied with a sense of urgency.

A subtle smile formed on Everard’s lips. He cleared his throat to quickly hide his smile, and he pondered upon a few things.

He had thought that he would clarify everything to Jerome – regarding who Ruby really was and how he came to be acquainted with her. But he got so occupied by his father that he didn’t have time for any chit-chats with Jerome that was unrelated to his father.

And now, he was contemplating whether or not to tell everything to Jerome, especially because he felt betrayed by him.

After thinking about it for quite a while, he decided to put his ego aside and reveal everything to Jerome for Ruby’s sake. He didn’t want his father’s beta to treat Ruby as if she was a woman who he hired for pleasure. Before everyone in the castle also started to think the same, he wanted to shut them all up with the truth.

“Ruby,” Everard looked into her light brown eyes and asked, “Will you ask a maid to call Jerome here?”

“Sure, Your Highness.” Ruby immediately got up on her feet, thankful that he didn’t ask her to go and call that scary man herself.

She found a few maids-in-waiting right outside the room. And she passed the order of the Crown Prince to them.

After that, she went back inside the room without bothering to knock again. However, she immediately regretted her decision because Everard had gotten up from the bed to get dressed.

And she saw him. Butt-naked.

She sharply inhaled and tight-shut her eyes. ‘Oh, dear lord! Please forgive me!’ she screamed in her mind while turning on her heels and running towards the door.

However, as she was running without opening her eyes, her body got slammed against the wall instead.

“Argh!” she screamed even though the impact didn’t hurt much.

She pressed a palm on her forehead and the other on her chest, and then crouched down.

Without caring to dress, Everard was watching every move of Ruby with an amused look on his face. And the moment she crouched down in an unladylike manner causing her gown to puff and look like a pumpkin, Everard burst into chuckles.

Ruby was about to crawl through the door, thinking she was being very discreet until now.

However, Everard stopped her and ordered playfully, “No, no, no... Don’t run! Stay!”

As if she was an obedient puppy, Ruby turned into a statue.

Everard then said to her while putting his pants on, “You know... when we revert back into our human form, our clothes won’t magically stitch back together.”

Ruby’s eyes turned as round as a saucepan upon realizing the hidden meaning behind his words. Her whole face turned a light shade of red when she further realized that if she had transformed together with him, it was inevitable that he saw her in her birthday suit as well.

She covered her mouth with her trembling palm and then asked in a muffled voice, “W-Will you please ask Lord Jerome to prepare a separate space for me tomorrow?”

And without even asking to be excused, she crawled out of the door. When she was outside, she got up and dashed without caring that she was wearing a gown that was much longer for her.

For that brief moment, Everard forgot all about his worries and laughed out loud. He was greatly entertained by Ruby’s scared voice and her childlike demeanor.

“She can be cute at times,” he mumbled to himself while still chuckling.
