After their al, Gavrael officially assigned Samuel and Leon their roles within his regint. The others were assigned as commanders as well, while Zanya and Elias were told that they will be in charge of Evie's personal needs. Their positions were retained to ones just like before so none of them complained. They could tell that Gavrael already knew what he was doing.
"How about ?" Evie asked, pointing at herself with enthusiasm. "I believe I am qualified to stand next to you now, Gav. I think I can be your right hand now."
Gavrael was visibly surprised. Even the others were speechless at what the princess had said. However, with her powers of being able to summon dragons, she is now definitely the second most powerful person in their group. So, it was not actually a totally baseless thing, what that the princess had claid.
But would this man even agree? If it was prince Gavriel, the n could bet a hundred percent that he would be completely against it. However, it was now Gavrael that is standing before them. Therefore, they were unsure how he would react to it.
"Give three reasons why you deserve to stand next to , Evie." Gavrael said, raising a brow at her.
Of course, the n were surprised. But they did not say a thing and just stood there, watching the couple interact with each other.
Confidently, Evie lifted her chin up and stared right at him. "First, I am very good at archery, second, I can use magic to protect myself, third, I can summon and control dragons. You wanted three reasons and I've given you three!"
The pride and confidence in her voice as she said those words made the corner of Gavrael's lips curve up into a little smile.
"If you do not believe or have even a slightest doubt, I can show you, right here right now, Gav." She added and just as she wished, all of them headed to the northern most tower of the city.
Evie did not waste a single mont once they arrived and showed him her skills. She was so fired up she even used her magic to light up the edges of her arrow, hitting the bullseyes so cleanly and effortlessly.
Then she showed off the magic Zanya had taught her. She also told him about her ability to extinguish dragon's fire that was aid at her. And then she began to call upon a dragon.
Evie was hesitant at first, as she thought it might not be a good idea to summon one right into the city. But Gavrael had imdiately told her there was nothing to worry about and just go ahead and call on the dragon. So, Evie went ahead and did just that. She called for Silver and the dragon ca swirling in the sky and landed silently but nonetheless majestically on the wall.
With a grin on her face, Evie turned and faced Gavrael, her excitent clearly apparent to all. "You believe now?" she asked. Gavrael quietly watched her as she smiled widely at him. His Evie had never told him if she was a good archer, so he never had an idea if she's good at archery. His Evie had also learned her magic and learned to control the dragons but… he had never seen her as confident as how she was today while using her abilities. There was always hesitation and a tinge of fear whenever she uses her magic, most especially when she is controlling her dragons. The Evie in his mories was a far cry to the very confident Evie that was standing before him right now…
anwhile, at that mont, Zolan had been busy watching Gavrael's expression all this ti. He was curious about him and his thoughts about all this. Zolan could see he was pleased and proud at the showing of the princess' skills but… Zolan furrowed his brows before letting out a sigh. He could not read him at all as Gavrael was hiding his emotions way too well. It is impossible for him to know what he was thinking of right now.
But sohow, Zolan was just glad that he does not plan to keep the princess locked up inside a protected room. It was a relief that he seed to be planning to really involve her in the war.
"Do you still need to see more?" Evie asked, eting Gavrael's gaze. Then she walked over to Silver and touched the dragon's head gently. She lovingly leaned on the creature and pressed her cheeks on the dragon's snout as she spoke to Gavrael. "I can show you more, if you still –"
"That's enough." He suddenly cut her off. His expression was suddenly dark. Even the n behind him felt the surge of dark pressure suddenly filling the air. What had just happened?! Everything was fine and dandy just a mont ago.
They followed his line of sight, and they could only face palm within the safe confines of their minds. Sohow, it seed that this version of their master was still the sa jealous guy… perhaps even more so!
Gavrael approached Evie and pulled her away from the dragon, causing Evie to blink in confusion.
"Send him back. Now." he ordered, and Evie looked up at him.
"Alright, but tell first… I am more than qualified now, right?" she asked. "I can call not just one dragon you know?" she coaxed. "Alright, why don't I call another -"
"You are qualified." He cut her off with an annoyed tone and Evie grinned happily.
When Silver was gone, they all headed back to the castle. Gavrael ordered everyone to head to their assigned posts and when everyone left, Evie asked Gavrael again.
"How about ?" she asked him. Gavrael stared at her and then he scooped her up into his arms.
"Where are you bringing ? You're going to start teaching things I must know and do as your right hand, right?" she said enthusiastically.
"Yes." He said and Evie's eyes twinkled with extre glee. However, the smile on her face and the many stars in her eyes slowly faded as she realized he had brought her back into his room.
He put her down after he kicked the door shut with his boots and his hands were already silently reaching out for the ribbon of her cloak. W-wait…
