Caught his eye
At the Castle..............
As Evangeline stepped out of the carriage, she was greeted by men's hungry gaze and women's jealous scowls not only because she was undoubtedly the most beautiful girl present there but also because she was standing next to the three of the most handsome men in the kingdom.
As she started to advance towards the ballroom, a woman said.......
Random maid
Oh look! Isn't it preposterous that this girl sleeps with all three of them? And all of it just because she is beautiful?
Just as Edwin could go and silence that old mullet headed hag in his very own way, Evangeline stopped him, linked her arm to his and gestured him to keep moving ahead without paying the woman something she really wants, his attention.
Though hesitant, he followed his sister without saying anything.
While the Blakes moved forward, there was a devil in human disguise who saw everything.

Hmmmmmm..........
Interesting. This evening is going to be interesting after all.
The Blakes reached the ballroom and Lydia started introducing her daughter to all the nobles.
(Disclaimer:- The authy never said that the people had seen Evangeline. They had just heard of her beauty.)
Lydia (fl mom)
Oh yes Your Highness, she is my dear daughter Evangeline Blake.
Lydia introduced her to the queen
The Queen
Oh what a fine daughter you have duchess Blake. Many men might have asked for her hand for marriage already.
She laughed making Lydia uncomfortable.
While her mother was busy conversing with the queen, Evangeline couldn't take her eyes off the queen.
It was the same evil queen who had ordered the massacre of her whole family. That thought sent a chill down Evangeline's spine.
It is rumoured that the queen uses dark magic to maintain her youth and also killed the previous queen but these were all just rumours and couldn't be proved by anyone.
Even the most powerful of mages couldn't detect any dark magic in her which could mean two things. The first-- the queen possessed no dark magic and was innocent OR she pretends to be innocent and pure and actually possesses dark magic so powerful that no one can detect it.
With these thoughts in her head Evangeline bowed, excused herself from the ladies and went away to stand in a quiet corner.
Just as she could breathe a sign of relief, someone held her arm and spun her around.
