Oh Gods! Evon’s face is priceless!
Yup. Sweet normality.
I read his half expression as “you can let go of me now” lol
He does not look pleased, and neither does she.
Just Plain Epic Evon.
Where’s Evee when you need her?
Oh gods here we go. XD love the expressions!
They’re not married yet and Cleo’s already running things at Hero’s castle.
This is going to get REALLY interesting…
the way things are going, I wouldn’t include the “yet” just yet.
This does not bode well.
“I’m having the ENTIRE castle decorated for when I take over.”
You have outdone yourself, Brittany. In the previous page I had a feeling it was the scheming lioness. Oh, and last panel, Evons face is epic.
hahaha Evons like:
“gods damn it, i forgot she still existed….”
wouldn’t those painting be of hero’s ancestors? parents, grand parents, great great grandparents, famous uncle, etc.?
why would you take those down?
Because shallow people don’t want to see anyone else’s success but their own- and history doesn’t necessarily mean anything compared to the magnitudes of their wants. Cleo is a narcissistic egoist who used every means necessary to get what she wants. She was probably gonna put up pics of herself.
Remember that Cleo’s family has designs on the estate of Hero’s family, which they hope to secure through an arranged marriage. We heard a bit about this the last time that Hero was home, in his recounting of the conflicts that had inspired him to seek a life away from the nobility and their machinations. Removing the portraits of Hero’s ancestors is an act meant to dissociate the estate from his line and clear the way for Cleo’s family to assert control.
actually Cleo’s family is the highest nobility of the land.

she’s the Duke’s Daughter, and the Duke is in charge.
she’s just a stuck up self-absorbed ***** who likes the prestige that being engaged to the Prideland’s best lord brings. a spoiled brat basically.
the family that was angling on Hero’s land was a different, lesser nobility that made the mistake of underestimating Hero and acting underhanded. which caused hero to go and wipe them out.
flashback Starts here: http://evoncomics.com/?comic=volume-two-chapte-27
the arranged marriage with cleo was made long before that, with the idea of tying Hero’s family closer to the throne.

Thanks so much for those details, glitterboy. You did a much finer job of looking up the relevant pages than this old cougar, who was simply going by memory.
well well look who it is, what a surprize Hero has got to look seriously into a way to head off that arranged marridge deal.
I can see why his father thought they’d be a good pair, Hero’s a mouse and she’s a Rat.. :/
First time commenting, but I just had to say: Evon’s face in this one is the best “Bitch, I’ll cut you” face I’ve ever seen in a webcomic. Well done!
Evon’s look in the last panel was like. I almost forgotten about this bitch! Pity I can’t just engulf her in fire. Why do I think that Cleo may easily switch sides and commit treason to get rid of Evon?
Quick, Evon, put spells on the portraits so they’ll “haunt” whomever takes them down — except you and Hero!
I mean… I know she’s a manipulative, greedy slut… But damn, you made Cleo look good in these panels.
Also… That last panel! Hahahaha
Evon’s face…
“The bitch dies at dawn.”
Hey Evon, you’ve got that new sword….
How about some sword dummy practice? That pompous bitch can be the dummy, it’s not too far of a stretch anyway.
Evon: And I’d just finished smacking a bitch, now here’s another one. *glove comes off*
Hero… you may want to consider eloping with Evon next time you two go out on an adventure. Save yourself some headaches…. or would that just exchange current ones for new ones?
pretty sure it would just open up new ones. after all, Hero is obligated to marry Cleo because of the engagement. and unless he can find a legitimate reason by which he can get the Duke to call it off, if he doesn’t it’ll effect his family’s standing in the kingdom. loss of face all around.
going out and getting married to someone else would not qualify as a legitimate reason to call it off. and it would certain result in “insult to the crown” and put Hero’s status, and the Dent family’s status, at jeopardy.
personally i’m hoping Hero’s avoidance of his home will be handy. if Cleo gets pregnant by one of the many lovers she’s had, and Hero can prove he wasn’t even in the Pridelands at the time, that certainly would force the marriage to be called off.. with no loss of honor on the part of the Dent Family or Hero.
My reaction was the same as Evon’s. I hate that s-l-u-t. :l
When is the next page?
Well, now we know why the castle was decorated for “Christmas”. The Yule celebration is significantly older than Christmas and is the reason the Christmas is celebrated in December instead of the likely month of either September or October.
Just before I could turn the page, it occurred to me that Cleo dying in an attack by the Cabal would be a nice, clean, simple way to get rid of her. It might be that I don’t like her much. >.>
No matter where you there will be celebrations at midwinter.
