Chapter 18: Without Fear

The news soon reached Evelyn after passing through the king.

Evelyn calmed her mind as she watched Adrian play well and stopped thinking about it.

“Of course, I’ve made excuses because he said you were really shocked. Besides, since you’re a woman who doesn’t know anything like a demon, so it’s no use of asking such questions.”

Arthur continued to speak as if he had made excuses for his daughter.

“But His Majesty was so firm that I couldn’t stop him.”

“Yes, don’t stop him.”

Fabian’s orders were absolute. Although this was the Felice Kingdom, they couldn’t deny the fact that he was the Emperor.

“But, even so, considering that you’re divorced, there is no way you can meet him casually and make a report.”

Arthur had lost his temper because he was frustrated. Then, Adrian, crawling with a toy sword on the floor, stumbled and stood holding Arthur’s leg.

“Adrian…..I’m not angry with you.”

“Abubu!” Adrian, puffed his cheeks as if to protest against Arthur.

“I was talking about some stupid guy… oh no no…Adrian, pretend you didn’t hear that.”

That stupid man was the father of his lovely grandson. Arthur stopped talking because he was feeling a little complicated.

“I’m fine, father….”

“But Evelyn….”

“He chose me not because he had specific feelings for me. He wasn’t that kind of person.”

Evelyn was sure. When she married, she never saw Fabian decide something based on emotion. Especially now that she was a stranger.

“He just want to investigate this Wyvern’s case.”

“Didn’t he have any consideration?

“Do you think…..?” Evelyn showed a bitter smile.

“The emperor is a seat that doesn’t need to be considerate of others.”

It was something Evelyn, the Empress, knew best. The Emperor was a supreme being, and he had no need to think or look at other people’s hearts. Even to his own wife, he was such a man.

“He’s a heartless man, so he’ll hear my testimony without emotion so don’t worry about me. If you stop him again, he’ll get angry.”

“But still……”

“It can’t be helped. And I’m used to dealing with him like that.”

Evelyn might have said that Fabian was just an indifferent person, but his real character was more than that.

“If I knew in advance that he was such a person, I would…” ‘I would never have sent Evelyn.’ Arthur’s eyes were saying that.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I know.”

Evelyn quickly smiled brightly before Arthur became sadder.

“And stop talking about him. Adrian will listen.”

“It’s all right. He still has only five teeth. Right?” Arthur smiled back as he saw Adrian hanging on his leg.

“Abububu!”

“He’s also strong.”

Adrian, who couldn’t speak well yet, was the most powerful voice among them.

“Amamaa! Amamaa!”

Adrian tapped Arthur’s leg with his fluffy fist as if he was punching. She had to teach him courtesy, but Evelyn was forced to look at Adrian with a lovely expression.

“Abubu!”

“Yes, go ahead and learn to speak. Then I’ll give you another prize.”

Recently, Adrian used to repeat the same words as if he were about to burst. Well, it’s just babble, but …

“Abuu,·····” Adrian kept tapping Arthur’s leg because he was frustrated.

“I know you’re frustrated because you want to talk, but I feel frustrated when I listen to you …”

“Abu! Anana!”

Arthur snorted on purpose. That’s because he figured that Adrian would learn to talk quickly only if he was frustrated. Evelyn didn’t like Arthur’s strict parenting style, but she couldn’t intervene because they had a world of their own.

“Amama!” Adrian screamed out loudly. Again, he was swinging his fist.

“I can’t play with you today because I’m busy.”

“Ana! Ana! Ah, Ana!”

Reluctantly, Evelyn approached Adrian.

“Adrian, you have to take a nap. Or do you want a snack?”

Adrian turned his head with a slightly sad look and hung on Evelyn’s leg this time.

“Ama..ma!”

Only

Adrian’s black eyes looking up at Evelyn were so lovely. Even though they were the same black eyes, they were things that were never seen in Fabian ‘s eyes. Evelyn felt that this little life she had given birth to was more precious.

“Yes, that’s nice, too.”

After meeting Fabian, nothing had changed.

His dark eyes were still so deep and colder than a floor.

But Adrian was different. Evelyn never intended to raise her precious child like Fabian.

“Come here.”

Evelyn hugged Adrian’s little body tightly. As long as there was such warmth, Evelyn was not afraid, neither of the Wyvern nor the Emperor.
