Chapter 28: 28
The carriage arrived at the destination, and the Felice Palace was brightly lit even when it was at night . Among them, Arthur, the King of this kingdom, hurried to Adrian and took him from Evelyn’s arms .
“Oh Adrian, you missed me, didn’t you?”
Arthur was talking to himself, who had become super sick in just one day .
“Yes, yes… I know everything . ”
Arthur rubbed his face against Adrian’s chubby cheeks . Usually, a child would get annoyed or cry, but Adrian pulled Arthur’s beard and made fun of him .
“This boy, you pull my beard, huh? Let me see your teeth first…aaaaa . ”
Rebecca was a little shocked when she looked at King’s actions, but Evelyn smiled shyly and gave a look of understanding .
“Hung, there’s only five… . It means you’re still a child . ”
“Then, do you think he’s grown a lot in just one day?”
“Adrian is a special child . So I don’t want to miss any of his growth .
It was a powerful love . Evelyn realized early on that she couldn’t beat Adrian for her parents’ love .
How could she possibly beat a child with five little teeth that had always been cute? Evelyn had a conscience, too .
“Your Majesty, Lady Akshire also came here . ”
Miriam coughed and told her husband . Only then did the King see that Rebecca stood beside Evelyn . Not even Arthur was interested in his own daughter, so he couldn’t see Rebecca either .
“Lady Akshire, make this your home and have as much fun as you like with the princesses at Felice’s Palace . ”
“I’m very pleased . ”
Arthur’s intentions were too explicit . He was planning to monopolize Adrian while Evelyn was playing with her friend . Evelyn smiled to herself, but Arthur looked so happy that she decided to pretend she didn’t know .
“Come on, your friend’s here, so you should treat her right now, Evelyn . ”
“…… . Right now?”
“I thought so, so I prepared tea time . ”
‘So give Adrian to me and go . ’ Arthur’s eyes were saying that .
“······Well, this time I’ll give up . ”
“Why…? I’m just trying to help you . ”
“Yes, yes . ”
Evelyn grumbled back to her father and kissed Adrian on the cheek . Next, she visited Rebecca and went to the tea room that Arthur had prepared .
As soon as they arrived, they quickly lay down on a giant pillow, relieving their fatigue from drinking and taking a long trip .
“Your parents really love him . ”
“Yes, it’s more than me . ”
“Actually, I think the Queen also great… her determination and her tolerance . ”
“Ahhhhh . ”
Evelyn smiled a little sadly . In the people’s eyes, the Queen was seen as a sage woman as she accepted an illegitimate child born outside .
“But since they’re both aged, I’m divorced and I don’t have anything to do, so I’m going to be in charge of taking care of him in the future . ”
“Yes in the future, you can live with the prince . ”
Yeah, just thinking about that makes me want to see Adrian grow up . ”
When he created Adrian’s fake identity from the start, the King took this into account . Even though they were “his” parents, they were elderly, so their divorced daughter must take care of him .
It was a common custom to leave the care of the King’s son to someone else, and if his sister was divorced, she was the right person for the job . In other words, it was a tradition that allowed Evelyn to have everything she wanted .

“But from their perspective I may take care of Adrian forever . ”
Evelyn smiled as if she were joking, but to some extent, she thought sincerely .
“More than that, Princess . Did everything go well yesterday? Today, when I heard it from Liam, I was so dizzy . ”
“Huh? It wasn’t a big deal . ”
“Why? Liam had a very serious face . ”
Hmm…, Evelyn made a strange noise and took the sweet tea . She was drowsy as the Milk Tea had warmly entered her body after a hangover .
“The Emperor just asked me to talk . ”
“Ah, the husbands are typically like that . They do what they’ve never done after they get divorced . ”
“Did your ex-husband do that as well?”
“There’s been a moment like that . I think a man becomes a fool for a while when that happens . ”
Evelyn nodded in agreement .
“So what did the Emperor say?”
“It’s nothing, really What it was …… well, I didn’t feel any emotions from him . I don’t think he really wanted me to come back to the imperial family . ”
“What does that mean?”
Rebecca frowned her brows .
“I don’t know . ”
Evelyn answered lightly . No one knew Fabian’s insides . So there was no need to try to find out .

“Princess, did you not go through the divorce process when you left?”
“Yes, I made it clearer than anyone else, the Pope himself who was the mediator . ”
“But why did he ask you to come back to the Imperial Family? It’s kind of weird . ”
It was odd as I listened to Rebecca’s words . But when I thought of Fabian again, it’s nothing strange .
“The Emperor has a bit of an unknown side of him . ”
“His words were as if he didn’t really accept the divorce in his heart . ”
“It’s all right . Now that I’ve told you for sure, you’ll know . ” said Evelyn . Answering clearly .
“You know exactly now, so that’s fine . ”
“Well . ”
Rebecca was as brave as Evelyn was . Apart from similarities in status, family closeness, or thoughts of being a divorced woman, the two had a lot in common . Evelyn was sure they would be friends whenever and wherever they met .
“Princess . What if, in truth… . . what if the Emperor has regret for you?”
Boom .
Evelyn spilled the tea she was holding right away .
“Sorry, it’s such a funny question that I don’t know . ”
Evelyn, who wiped her lips with a handkerchief, looked like she couldn’t help but laugh . She burst out laughing for a long time and saw Rebecca lying on her back on the pillow .
“Rebecca, he doesn’t have that kind of feeling for me . I wouldn’t have divorced if he has . ”
“Still······ . ”
“As his ex-wife, I can be sure of that . He is a man who has no interest in human beings other than himself . He never fits in for a marriage . ”

“Oh, I hate that type . ”
Evelyn nodded vigorously .
“If the Princess has no regrets and the Emperor is a man who doesn’t care about other people…… it’s impossible to reunite . ”
“Of course it is . And even from me, it’s terrible to just think about it . ”
“I understand . I’d rather start a war if my ex ask me to remarry . ”
Evelyn unwittingly sympathized with Rebecca’s radical words .
“So, Princess when you go to the ball you need an escort to shine . ”
“I have Adrian······ . ”
“You should at least wait for the prince to walk on his foot . ”
“Ah…that’s right . ”
It’s still a long time .
“What about my useless brother?”
“Well, you mean Sir Liam?”
“Yes . He’s not as cute or lovely as the your little brother, but his appearance is quite okay, so it’s perfect for party purposes . ”
Evelyn glanced finely at Rebecca .
“Rebeca, stop making fun of your brother . ”
“I’m serious!!”
“Not as an errand-boy, but I hope you will consider my recommendations . ”
Evelyn, who had fought against the imperial family every day, could not understand what Rebecca was saying .
