Jeffery immediately swing into action, he organized a search party for prince Willams, then he meet the people in charge of organizing the ball coming up in two days to tip them about Ericsson picking a wife on this day.

Ericsson was very popular in the kingdom, put away his family relationship to the royal family he was still a respected general. 

So when the organizers heard this they were happy to spread the news. After taking care of this issue, Jeffery decided to go over to Eva house and collect his family belongings

To Jeffery, it did not matter if prince Willams was found or not, after all, he chooses to leave the palace on his own.

If he had gone with one of the guards provided by the palace, then even if he had run into bad people it will be easy to know how to find him.

When Jeffery got to Eva's house, they were four men present. "Let me go," Eva bite the man who took hold of her hand.

Eva has been conscious after her cousin's visit the previous night. She did not dare leave the house too early afraid that she will run into problems.

Who knew that the problem will come looking for her. The people closest to her house already left for work that morning. Suddenly she heard a knock on the door.

Since she knew none of her neighbors will still be available she ignored the knock and did not say a word.

Shortly she heard the men discussing among themselves. She thought that they will leave if they did not see anyone but they soon started to hit the door hard in an attempt to break the door.

Eva moved quickly and found a place to hide. If they were just thieves' then they would take anything valuable they could find and leave.

With this thought, Eva hide behind her mother's wooden box. The people outside soon break down the door.

They started searching around. "I think she already left?" Eva heard the first voice.

"That's not possible, this is just a small house, it only has one entrance," Eva heard the voice of another. Her heartbeat quickened when she heard the content of their conversation. She had thought they might just be thieves and Jeffery will understand since they have been a bit of unrest in the royal city. But it turned out that the people were there for her.

"look, this necklace is expensive, do you think the lady that owns this house has a backer?" the necklace in the man's hand belonged to Rose but since these people were not aware of others living there, they could only come to this conclusion.

"Maybe we should just steal the items here and leave, if the lady has a powerful backer finding us will be easy," another man said.

"ahh? You are scared for nothing, the person who gave us this information looks like a lady from a good family. It is obvious she wants this person to disappear from Avalo. Maybe the lady that lives here is her father's mistress," another said.

"That makes sense, we can just find the lady and deal with her. Imagine how good our life will become if she really hands over this house?" another voice said.

Thinking this way, they came to the conclusion that Eva was a mistress and the lady who tip them off, must be the daughter or wife of the man that kept her. So the house will definitely be theirs if they got ride of Eva as promised by that lady.

Those who lived in the royal city of Avalo knew how difficult it was to get a house. Most of the commoners who managed to stay worked for the lords and nobles. 

After coming to this conclusion it did not take them long to find Eva hiding behind a wooden box so they dragged her out. 

"she is so beautiful, how about we have a taste first," One of the men looks lustfully at Eva.

Eva shivered when she heard the man. "do not be stupid, even if you want to have a taste we have to get her out of here first, what if her man comes looking for her?" another refused.

The man tried to knock Eva unconscious but Eva managed to bite down on the man's arm and run outside. Unfortunately, there was one of them keeping watch outside so she ran into the man. 

She was immediately captured. She was fighting hard to free herself when the others arrived. The men were angry and wanted to beat her up when Jeffrey arrived.

The scene that Jeffery met was Eva struggling to free herself after biting yet another man. "let her go," Jeffrey's voice was not calm. After playing a body doubler for king Sébastien for so long his aura could easily send fear just like the prince.

The four men were so scared that they unconsciously let go. Eva did not waste time and immediately run over to Jeffrey like she had found her savior. The men who were scared at first become angry when they saw that Jeffrey's carriage did not have the symbol of any prominent family.

Thinking about this, they become confident. "just hand over the lady and we promise to let you go," one of the men said. No matter how one looked at it, they were four of them and Jeffrey was alone. Beating him will not be a problem.

Jeffery Smirk when he heard their arrogant words. "How about this... He paused and look at the confident look on their faces.  " I will let you go if you leave now after you tell me who sent you, " Jeffery said.

It was clear that these people were here by someone's order. Why else will these men dare to kidnap someone in the day? No matter what Eva's house was within the royal city and such a thing as kidnapping during the day is unheard of.

When the four men heard Jeffrey's words they did not take him seriously at all. They burst into a fit of laughter. After laughing to their heart content. They become serious and look at Jeffrey. 

"Hand over the girl, or we beat you to death," one of the men said.

Jeffrey looked at the four ignorant men before him. Even four of Avalo's generals will not say sure words to him. Perhaps the only man who can beat up Jeffery is the king.

"since your carriage is here, let run," Eva whispered. Although she knew that Jeffery followed the prince but he could not win against four men and even if he managed to win, he will be injured.

Jeffrey smirked, seeing that she showed concern, he could not explain why it made him feel happy. "get in the carriage,"  He instructed. He knew that not every woman will be able to watch a bloody sight.

When the men saw that Eva was running towards the carriage they thought Jeffery and Eva wanted to run away so they also made a move
