235 Collapsed

Caspian’s eyes were glowing with fury before Anastasia came to shield Everard from him. And now that his wife was trying to protect the same arsehole who dared to kiss her, his rage knew no bounds.

His fist was hanging midair, a few inches away from Anastasia because she swooped in out of nowhere and covered Everard with her body. If it wasn’t for his quick reflexes, the blow would have landed on Anastasia instead of Everard.

Caspian clenched his jaw and tightened his fist even more, so much so that the pale skin around his knuckles turned white. Then he looked at his wife and asked in a low growl, “Get away from him!”

However, Anastasia didn’t listen to what Caspian was saying. She was trembling and was shedding tears thinking that Everard was already dead.

Everard’s face was covered with cuts, scratches, and blood. It wasn’t that bad considering how many punches he got from Caspian, and how many times he got thrown and slammed against the wall, pillar, and floor. But he lay there without moving a muscle, making Anastasia assume the worse.

Anastasia was sobbing non-stop, and she replied to Caspian using her shaky breath, “I said stop! You’ve already killed him! Just stop!”

“I haven’t killed him yet!” Caspian growled in rage and tried to punch Everard’s stomach.

However, when Caspian was distracted by Anastasia, Hamilton had gotten enough time to tightly and properly grab Caspian’s dominant hand making it impossible for Caspian to move his hand, let alone throw a punch.

“What are you doing?” Caspian turned to give a death stare at his cousin and snarled at him, “Leave my hand. Now!”

.....

“As the Queen said, you should stop now,” Hamilton said in an unyielding tone. And he further said while trying to pull Caspian up with the help of Vincent, “Stop making a scene and making this worse.”

“I am making a scene?” Caspian growled in rage and pushed his whole body to elbow Hamilton in the stomach.

“Caspian! Get a hold of yourself!” Vincent pulled Caspian towards himself so that he wouldn’t try to elbow Hamilton again.

Caspian finally got up, his feet still straddling Everard’s body, and then he snarled at Hamilton again, “He is the one who kissed my wife in front of me! In front of everybody! And I am the one causing a scene?”

He turned to glare at Everard’s unmoving body and then shouted, “I should kill him right here for the crime he has committed. What I did until now doesn’t even count.”

And before Hamilton or Vincent could take any action, Caspian raised his leg and kicked Everard right in between his leg while screaming, “Let me help you control yourself, you bastard!”

“Arghhhhhhh!” Everard’s throaty scream echoed throughout the hall, followed by pitiful looks and collective whispers from those who witnessed the scene, “Ooooooh!”

Everard turned on his side and curled himself into a fetal position. He was in so much pain that he thought his lower body got paralyzed after that kick from Caspian.

Anastasia finally lifted her body to look at Everard. She wiped her eyes and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw him grumbling and wriggling in pain.

“You’re alive!” she mumbled while looking at Everard’s face.

Everard scoffed and then whispered while grimacing in pain, “Of course, I am. I’m not going to die from a few punches from that thing.”

“Oh, thank god!” Anastasia closed her eyes in relief.

And as she was already feeling light-headed and nauseous, and was only holding onto her consciousness by a hair, the moment she knew Everard wasn’t dead, she happened to collapse forward, resting her head on Everard’s shoulder.

Caspian was watching everything that was unfolding in front of his eyes with great disgust. And when he saw his wife ‘leaning down’ on the very creature he despised the most, he pulled his hands away from Hamilton and Vincent’s grip with great force. He couldn’t bear to see his wife showing ‘affection’ to Everard. Thus, he stormed out of the hall with his heart full of rage and hatred towards Everard.

Caspian’s Royal Guards, who until now were busy stopping or checkmating the Royal Guards of Everard, also followed their King.

Vincent also ran after all of them so that he could stop Caspian if he tried to do anything stupid.

Hamilton, on the other hand, stayed behind so that he could watch over the Queen.

Alexander, who was being stopped by Jerome until now, finally forced his way out from the crowd and then ran towards his sister.

He immediately knelt down beside Anastasia. He grabbed her by her shoulders and then pulled her up, only to find out that she had passed out.

He gently tapped on Anastasia’s cheek and called her, “Anna! Anna! Can you hear me? Anna!”

When Everard heard Alexander desperately calling for Anastasia, he pulled himself together and sat up while facing the brother and sister. “Oh, lord! Is she okay?” he asked worriedly. He then held out his hand to hold Anastasia’s hand.

However, Hamilton swooped in between Everard and Anastasia, and then swiftly picked Anastasia in his arms.

He looked at Alexander and said, “I am taking Her Majesty back to our carriages. I am assuming that the King would want to leave after everything that happened just now.”

Before Alexander could say anything, Everard got up on his feet and then said authoritatively, “I won’t allow you to take her in such a state. Can’t you see that she is unconscious?”

“And whose fault is that?” Hamilton sternly said while glaring at Everard as if he also wanted to throw a punch or two at him.

“I am also coming along then,” Alexander said while stepping in between Hamilton and Everard. He was worried that something bad had happened to his sister. And since he had already received the invitation from Caspian, he thought of going along with his sister so that he could take care of her.

Everard looked at Alexander and scoffed. “You’re also going with them? But you are staying here for two weeks, remember?”

Alexander looked at his sister’s wet eyes. He gently wiped a drop of tear that rolled down her temple and replied in a sad low voice, “I don’t think I can fulfill that promise now, Eve. Not after how you humiliated her in front of the world.”
