An Emergency I Evan and Amara

Amara could not help herself to raise her eyebrow at the words of Evan. Nothing had happened to him but in the end he turned up all bloodied? There was no way that nothing had happened to him. She lowered her hand from his face and then she slowly nodded. She silently listened to the sounds outside the door and the footsteps were indeed there. But they seemed to be fading away.
âI wonât tell him,â Amara promised Evan, knowing very well that she would be gone the next day and that there would be no chance to tell his father. âBut at least let me help you clean up your face. You will have to face your father tomorrow anyways.â
She moved away from him so she could get a first aid kit and then she appeared again. âWhy do you want to learn how to fight so badly?â
âThank you,â Evan sighed, the relief evident in his face. âFine,â he agreed, knowing she was right as always. âWhy are you always right?â He muttered, smiling at her as he took a seat on the bed.Â
âItâs dumb,â He answered, glancing down at his bruised knuckles. âI just- I donât want to just be a figurehead, you know? I want to actually be able to do something and god forbid our country goes to war I want to be able to be on the front lines with my people. I donât want to be cowering in some castle somewhere.â He took a breath, looking up at her. âI want to be someone that the people know will fight for them.âÂ
âWhereâs Jack?â He asked suddenly, noticing the manâs absence.âToo consumed with work to spend time with you?â He held back the urge to make a comment about if it had been him she was with instead. He never understood their relationship, never understood what she saw in Jack. Even his name pissed Evan off. âStupid man,â he stated, leaving it there. If he said anything else he knew heâd say too much. He wasnât about to put her in a difficult position. Not to mention the fact that he was the crown prince of Keigan, for all he knew she was putting on airs so that she retained her favor in court. Still, he couldnât see her like that. Amara wasnât one to play games, not with him, at least thatâs what he wanted to think.Â
