Chapter 27: 27
Perhaps because of his great embarrassment, Fabian turned his back and left the room right away .
His vague and idle thoughts were totally different from reality . After he heard it clearly from Evelyn, the person involved, it the fact was quite a shock, to be honest .
“Your Majesty, are you going back to the Empire?”
“Yes . ”
“That’s a wise choice . Spring rains are frequent in this area, so we’d better leave tomorrow . ”
Fabian nodded his head under low pressure .
“Why … was it uncomfortable to talk to the former empress?”
“Is divorce always that uncomfortable?”
Even the most brilliant Emperor, like Fabian, was clueless about human relations . Not only clumsy, Fabian was helpless too, and he had no concept of relationship at all .
His mother-Empress only gave birth to Fabian and made it an achievement . Then, it was the Imperial nanny who actually breastfed Fabian, and it was Serus’s parents who raised him .
“In my brother’s case, I think so . ”
“Hmm…That was normal, then . ”
Fabian nodded . No one was particularly meaningful to him . The Empress Dowager was a woman who gave birth to him . The nobles who raised him trained Fabian strictly just to show loyalty to the Imperial Family .
Fabian never felt like he needed anything else .
“Somehow, I felt it was harder than do official duties . ”
Serus had no idea what kind of change of heart had happened to Fabian, but he simply nodded together . In any case, Fabian had no one else to live with since he was born .
“Human relations are exhausting . ”
“That’s right . ”
“I should go back and focus on my official duties . Before the end of the year, I’m going to show the world that disgusting Pope’s true face . ”
Fabian’s idea made a lot of sense . If someone felt uncomfortable even when they were living alone, they could at least play their part in a useful place . As long as he was born as an emperor, that fate would have been inevitable .
“Oh, I have one thing to check . ”
“Please give your order . ”

Unlike usual, Fabian handed a piece of paper with something written from the inside pocket of his jacket .
“Check it up . ”
“Yes . ”
He had to obey the Emperor’s orders, so Serus put it in without even checking the contents of the paper .

The two women who woke up late were drinking tea, which was said to be good for hangovers, with their faces down . And Liam sat between them and occasionally looked at his sister with an annoying expression .
“Sometimes you drink too much and you can’t control yourself . ”
Rebecca only drank tea, as if she couldn’t hear it, ignoring Liam’s nagging .
“At the moment, the Princess almost got caught by the Emperor . ”
This time Evelyn shut her mouth . She didn’t know how much she drank, but her head hurts a lot when she woke up in the morning .

“And there’s the most burdensome part . ”
Liam’s green eyes stared anxiously at Evelyn .
“His Majesty King Felice and the Queen, almost every few hours, asked for Prince Adrian . ” He sighed .
“They asked me about Prince Adrian, starting from handwritten letters, and they even sent a royal courier . ”
The king and his wife were eager to see their grandson, and Liam was much troubled by the baby .
“The good news is that the Emperor said he was going back to the Empire right after yesterday’s talk with the Princess . ”
“Wow! So that’s good? Emma, this wine…” shouted Rebecca, she was delighted .
“Emma, no! You don’t have to obey the arbitrary demands of my sister . ”
The siblings stared at each other as if they were eating each other .
“If the Emperor had already left I will go back to the palace, too . ”
“What? you don’t want to enjoy this time?”

“But if I hold Adrian too long, I don’t know what my father’s going to do . ”
It was right, and Liam, the biggest victim, already had a pale face .
“Or, would you like Rebecca to go to the palace with you?”
“Oh, that’s a good idea, too . ”
“Sis, please take care of yourself . ”
Rebecca lightly ignored her brother’s advice and stood up .
“I’ll tell Emma to pack . ”
Evelyn nodded when she saw Rebecca’s bright smile .
“Well, that’s enough . ”
After a while, Rebecca showed up with her maid . So the two women were excited again and climbed into the carriage with Adrian . Liam said good-bye to the two with a relaxed smile .
He hoped he could talk to Evelyn, but this time the timing was very bad .
It seemed like the world around Evelyn was now getting loud, but maybe it was because of the atmosphere . Immediately, the logical Liam swept off his strange thought and simply took it as a feeling .
