Chapter 15: 15
The envoy of the Empire settled the confusion . They sent the people out of the square, surrounded the Wyverns, and secured the Vatican Knights who were on the scene .
Of course, the Pope’s protest didn’t work .
“Where ? Let King Felice, the owner of this land, judge . ”
All the Royal Family members and the head of the Vatican gathered at Felice’s Palace in a hurry . Liam reassuringly escorted the royal family, and Rebecca was soothing the frightened Evelyn .
“I don’t understand how the Imperial Army came here, even though the Demons appeared and saved by the Vatican . ”
“The Imperial Army, it was so sudden . ”
King Arthur avoided an immediate answer . Both the Emperor and the Pope were the two-person that difficult for him to deal with .
“The little prince must have been very shocked, so if you allow me, I’d like to send the princess and the prince first . ”
Miriam intervened gently . After hearing that it was the Imperial Army, led by the Emperor himself, Miriam noticed that Evelyn’s face was stiff .
“Sure, you can do that . ”
The Pope spoke to Evelyn, “Looked at what’s going on today . Looks like God bless the little prince . ”
“Yes . ”
Evelyn answered with a stiff expression and held Adrian’s basket .
“Then I’ll go inside and take care of the prince . ”
The moment Evelyn bent her knees slightly to show her example, the outside suddenly became noisy . Then a familiar trumpet’s sound was heard .
It was the same sound that she always heard in the imperial family, which only rang when the Emperor appeared . Evelyn’s body unwittingly reacted first and stopped there .
“Your Majesty the Emperor!”
It’s too late for her to leave . No one could leave their seats with the trumpet already ringing . Evelyn ‘s body still remembered the Imperial’s etiquette . She could hear the sound of footsteps as she bent her knees with a basket in her hand .
“Your Majesty permits, Everyone, all raise your heads . ” Serus said it instead . They were all following the orders, but only Evelyn looked down and avoided his gaze .
“What a coincidence that your Majesty was here?” The Pope opened his mouth first .
“Yes . Coincidence is a common thing . ”
Fabian replied coldly . The moment she heard the voice, Evelyn recalled the last time she had seen him . Fabian’s dry, cold voice, which had not changed a bit, still hurts .
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
Fabian turned his gaze to Evelyn .
“Your Majesty, The Emperor . Fortunately, the royal family is safe . ”
King Arthur stepped up, but Fabian ‘s gaze stayed fixed on Evelyn .
“So you’re not hurt . ”
The target of his question was too clear . Evelyn slowly raised her eyes to his persistent gaze . Her heart trembled until their eyes met . But when she saw those black eyes, she was unexpectedly calm .
“Yes, Your Majesty . ”
Evelyn simply answered him calmly . Just like before .
“Good thing . ”

At the moment, Evelyn looked at Fabian unconsciously . It was because she saw an illusion that there was a ray of warmth buried in his always cold voice .
“You cried, so I thought you were hurt . ”
For now, it seemed there were only two of them on their own, just like that night in the garden . No, Fabian never saw Evelyn like that back then, either .
“I was just surprised… . ”
“Okay… . . ”
Fabian spat a short answer and kept looking at Evelyn . Somehow, she felt his gaze was difficult and unfamiliar .
“This is the first time I’ve seen you cry . ”
Fabian added an unquestioned remark . Well, he did saw it before, but Evelyn didn’t even remember that . Well, how dare she cried for the Emperor’s safety? Fabian’s side was such a place .
“The little prince was so surprised so I was about to bring him back . ” Evelyn looked at Fabian with emotionless eyes .
“Then, I will…”
But before Evelyn could finish speaking, Fabian walked forward and stood in front of Evelyn . The King was greatly surprised by his sudden action, but there was no reason for stopping the Emperor .
“Is it the prince in the basket?”
It’s not a question . Fabian reached out and removed the blanket covering the basket . Evelyn’s heart began to beat quickly without even realizing it .
“······We-Well?”
Fabia was making a strange sound . Evelyn quickly covered the blanket back so that Fabian could not see Adrian more closely .

“I’m sorry . The prince was very surprised . ”
Fabian stared at Evelyn for a moment with a curious eye . But Evelyn avoided his gaze and bent her knees unilaterally to show her courtesy . Then, she held a maid and disappeared with a quick walk .
Fabian couldn’t take his eyes off the back for a long time . It was a look that seemed to be immersed in something, but hard to read the emotions .
“The Emperor is merciful by all means, seeing that you’re looking at a child’s safety first . ”
Fabian turned around at the Pope’s voice, without hiding his irritable face .
“Please release the Vatican’s Knights . They only saved the people from the Demons . ”
“I did . Accidentally … … like recent events . ”
“What do you mean?”
The Pope looked at the young Emperor with a calm face . He was Pope even before Fabian was born . However, the Emperor, who ascended the throne at the age of 16, always got in the way of what the Vatican did in all cases .
“If anyone hears, I’m afraid they will accuse Your majesty of doubting the will of God . ”
“So, is that a shameful thing?” Fabian responded calmly .
Before the nerve war between the two went to extremes, Serus came up and whispered something in Fabian’s ear .
“… …yes, release the Vatican’s Knights . ”
It was a dissatisfied tone .
“Your Majesty, the authority of the Vatican is completely independent and no one can interfere . ”

“Who said no?”
“I’m afraid someone will misunderstand your words . ”
Pfft…Fabian laughed .
“I heard you had killed Wyvers . The corpse will be taken over by the Imperial Army . ”
The Pope smiled calmly .
“I’m just grateful to you for alleviating Vatican’s work . Then, we go back first . ”
The Pope’s response meant that this unpleasant encounter was enough .
“Then, raise the little prince well, King . ”
King Arthur nodded at the Pope’s farewell and looked away . But even after the Pope left, Fabian showed no signs of movement . For Arthur, it was embarrassing .
“This case will be thoroughly investigated by the Imperial Army . and it seems that it will take some time to collect Wyvern’s body . ”
“Yes······ . ” Arthur was blurring his words after he heard Fabian’s words .
“I will stay in the your palace until then . ”
Finally, Fabian came to the point .
“It’s an honor to serve you, Your Majesty . ”
King Arthur had no choice but to say that . In a sense, Fabian is a more uncomfortable guest than the Wyverns .
He was also an uninvited guest who had no sign of withdrawal .
