Evelyn froze at Leah's sudden action, as Leah quickly said, "Please take care of His Highness for me, Princess Evelyn. I wish you both good luck." She smiled sweetly at her, leaving Eve confused by her sugary tone, since she could have sworn she sensed major hostility just moments ago.
Not able to respond, Evelyn remained quiet. Ivan however was not pleased by Leah touching Eve so causally, so he grabbed Evelyn's wrist. "Let's go," he said in a low, clipped voice, pulling her away from Leah's touch.
He took two steps towards the direction they were earlier heading to, then stopped and looked over his shoulder at Leah. "It seems your brain has grown rusty over time for not being in use, that you've forgotten even the basic etiquette toward royalty. Next time you try to touch me or her so casually, I can promise you that your hand won't remain attached to your body."
