Chapter 30: 30
There was the fact that two people and a child didn’t know about it in the garden .
“I like him . Miss Rebecca is also very smart . ”
“I’m flattered, your Majesty . ”
As soon as Evelyn and Liam left their seats, the people left in the garden seemed like they were plotting for something .
“Liam is not really patient with the princess but he’s still very warm-hearted . ”
“Well, I know that because I’ve seen him . His father taught him well . ”
Miriam nodded, agreeing with her husband, too .
“But we’re not supposed to pressure them . Let their feelings grow slowly and naturally . ”
“Yes . That would be great . Lady Rebecca is here, so it will be fine . ”
The three of them negotiated on the dining table to match them up early . For Liam, it was thanks to Rebecca knowing her brother’s heart, but not for Evelyn . That woman still hadn’t opened her heart to others and never dreamed about it .
“Oh, they’re coming back . ”
“Everyone stay calm . Hmm!”
The three pretended to eat as if nothing had happened . Evelyn, who came in, holding Adrian’s hand, saw them and did not notice anything .
“Where’s Adrian . Come to me, my child… . ” said Arthur, he was spreading his arms wide .
Intimate dinners were soon replaced with desserts . Only the two people involved didn’t know about it, but it was a very organized family atmosphere .

Fabian’s condition wasn’t very good . It wasn’t a disease, but he was in pain because he had a lot of work to do recently .
Serus had begged to use the carriage, but Fabian denied his request because it was too slow . So he didn’t have a choice and was forced to see Fabian on the horse .
“When I come back, the nobles’ face will suffer again, isn’t it?” Fabian said sarcastically .
“So, I should go ahead and see that face . ”
He pretended to be all right, but he seemed very mindful of the fact that no one was happy with him .
“I am afraid, Your Majesty, that if you are in a rush, you may harm your health . ”
“Am I a pathetic man who would be sick to death?”
“No… . . ”
Behind Fabian, an elite line of soldiers wearing black armor followed closely, making the scene look like a battlefield .
A small child was shocked by sight . It was the Emperor’s parade, and it was common for them to be in and out of any village they went through . But, instead of seeing, the villagers chose to avoid because of fear .
“I can’t believe it, I’ve been dragging you this far and I haven’t got any evidence, I’m so ashamed of myself . ”
Fabian wasn’t in a good mood since yesterday . Besides, the original purpose of the monster investigation ended badly after they heard that the Wyverns’ bodies had decomposed before arriving at the empire .
“Oh, the notes that you gave me to investigate I haven’t filled them in half yet, so once we go back to the Empire and use the information network, we’ll be able to … . ”
“Ah, that . Give it to me . ”
Returned after he gave it to him? Serus hid his confusion and gave the note back . After that, Fabian casually put the note in his pocket .
“Why don’t you be honest?”

“What are you talking about?” asked Fabian . It seemed that he was playing innocent .
“Your Majesty didn’t want to end the marriage… . . ”
“Well, it’s over . I thought at first someone was holding onto it . ”
Serus decided to speak a little, saving his words . Even Fabian’s mother, the Empress Dowager, tended not to say a word and mentioned this topic for a long time .
“Let’s hurry . ”
“Yes, Your Majesty . ”
The black parade was speeding up . And the man who hid in the grass watched the march was revealed himself a moment later in the darkness .
“I’m sure the Pope’s predictions aren’t wrong . ”
Fabian had a fishy smile to the satisfaction of completing the mission .

That night, the Emperor’s party was in chaos with an unknown demon’s appearance when they crossed the mountain .
“”Why is the Twin Fairy in this place?”
According to reports, this giant butterfly-like demon could only live in high mountainous areas . They never appeared in low mountains like this, which was not their habitat, especially in the spring .
“Everyone protect your Majesty!”
“Prioritize the Demon’s siege . The combat ability is low, but don’t let it spray the spores into the air as it spreads the poison and hurts your head . ”

Fabian accepted the “gift” from the Vatican with a fit of cold anger .
“Your Majesty, run with the carriage . You will be in trouble if you get poisoned!”
“If anyone heard of it, they would think it’s poisonous . Twin Fairy venom is harmless and only tingles . I won’t entertain the Pope by running away like a rat . ”
An ice-cold smile twisted Fabian’s lips .
“I don’t have the mercy to give an old man such a pleasure thing . ”
Fabian also drew his own sword .
One, two … It didn’t take long for the butterfly-like-demons, which first appeared only one or two now transformed into a group . It was obvious that the demons had been intentionally released in this place .
“Soldier !! If you capture a living specimen of the demons, you will be rewarded with a great prize!”
The soldier’s morale rose when Fabian’s voice roared in the sky .

The next day, the family of Felice received a gift from the Vatican . Arthur was also confused because it was common for the Vatican to collect donations . Still, it was unusual to receive something in reverse .
“What did the Vatican send you?” Evelyn asked her father .
“I don’t know . What kind of medicine is this? They said it’s effective against the poison of some monsters . ”
“What? It’s somehow unpleasant . It’s like a sign that after the Wyverns, another monster will appear again . ”
Evelyn had become more honest these days, and she seemed to have returned to her girlhood .
“Yeah, but it’s not a bad thing, for just in case . ”

“Or maybe they just want to show their sincerity to get donations from us again . ”
“Evelyn . ”
Arthur sighed at his daughter, who had become more vocal .
“I know, but you don’t have to say this outside . ”
“I don’t give gold to the Vatican because I feel good about doing it . But our Felice Kingdom depends on wealth of trade . To do that, we need a Vatican that spans the entire continent . ”
Arthur was not a dumb king at all . He was, on the contrary, a smart and wise ruler . He made a thorough study of what the Kingdom owned and didn’t have, and made the highest profit to benefit the people .
“I know your point… . ”
Occasionally abroad, Arthur was often mocked as a money-mad king o a Vatican’s loyal dog . Still, the prosperity of the Kingdom was more important than his reputation . Consequently, in his people’s eyes, Arthur was known as the best King in Felice Kingdom’s history .
“Maybe the demon has made me nervous, too . After being attacked once, it’s not the same thing as before . ”
Yeah, I’ve never seen a Wyverns that big before, so I’m shocked too, but isn’t it that rare?”
Evelyn had the Pope’s suspicious attitude in mind, but she only nodded reluctantly . It was just a glimpse, and the situation was so chaotic that she wasn’t sure what she saw was real .
Fortunately, her family was safe, so that’s it .
“But the rest of the day is safe and peacef…… . . ”
Before Arthur’s words could be finished, the sound of a drum rang across the whole castle .
“Father!” Evelyn jumped from her seat in surprise .
“What the hell’s going on?” Arthur also made a serious look on his face .
“This is the sound of Beacon !”
