“Hold on . ”
In fact, the kings had a different instinct . Evelyn looked anxiously at her father, but Arthur held Evelyn in his hand, and then gave his ear to the officer who ran to report . After a few nods, Arthur regained his composure .
“Your Majesty, what’s going on with this?” It was Miriam’s turn, who was surprised to hear the sound .
Arthur waved twice to calm down . Miriam and Evelyn followed his lead, then settled down and sat while waiting for Arthur to speak .
“The Beacon’s sound has been heard 27 times . ”
The beacon, a flare-tower, was designed to send messages quickly from a distance . Therefore, depending on the situation, they sent out different signals and transmitted them .
“What’s number 27?”
As Arthur looked at the officer, the officer picked up a thick book from somewhere, scanned for the page opened it, and placed it on Arthur’s lap .
“No . 27 … … It seems that there’s something happened with his Majesty the Emperor, the greatest ruler of the continent . ”
Suddenly, Evelyn’s blue eyes trembled .
“Which means that we are nearest to the Emperor’s position . Order the general and send troops to the Emperor’s place . Do whatever the Emperor’s request . ”
“Yes!”
Arthur ordered the chief of staff to open the book again .
“What’s wrong… . ?”
“I don’t know . The beacon can only convey a simple message . ”
Evelyn’s face was pale . No matter how cold Fabian was, he was still her ex-husband . And though she was trying to forget the past, he wasn’t someone else at all .
Meanwhile, while Adrian was still alive, he remained in a relationship with Evelyn .
“But I don’t think the situation is so bad . If the situation was serious they wouldn’t be able to send a fire signal to alert the people around them . ”
The worst thing was the Emperor’s death . In that case, it was supposed to be kept secret .
“Let’s wait for the news . ”
Evelyn nodded silently . Her father was right . Kept secret…That was the case in all matters concerning the Emperor except for Evelyn’s marriage .

“I’ll go to see Adrian . ”
In the worst situations, people would have realized something important because Evelyn had seen it herself .

It was raining, really hard . It was spring, but the temperature dropped a lot at night . And when it started to rain, the air would get colder until the breath’s vapor came out .
“Bill… . . ”
Fabian was trying to push his heavy eyelid up . It took him a long time to make a voice like that .
“Your Majesty, are you awake?”
Serus hurriedly took the bucket and wet Fabian’s dry lips . Fabian was trying to hold his hands to a stop, but he couldn’t move his body .
“What is this?”
It was also difficult to talk longer, so Serus quickly prepared the report .

“Completely different from what was previously known about Twin Fairy . The documents just state that the poison causes itching, but it turns out that they also have paralytic poisons . ”
“Huh . ”
Fabian blamed himself for seeing Twin Fairy as a weak demon . He forgot that it was a gift prepared by the Pope . He didn’t calculate it this far .
“Fortunately this place is still the territory of the Felice Kingdom . I sent the beacon so the reinforcements will arrive soon . ”
“W-Wh…”
Fabian resented his unresponsive lips .
“‘I don’t need that . Why did you ask for help in such a place?”
In a time like this, Fabian’s pride didn’t make sense .
“Thankfully, the poison is only paralyzing, not fatal . ”
“……why . ”
“The Knights first tried to capture the demons, but they were assaulted first, and then the groups of demons quickly surrounded Your Majesty . Even though I was on your side, I was safe, but please punish me . ”

Fabian closed his eyes as if Serus’s words were useless . If this was the Pope’s doing, he would definitely set Fabian as a target . Maybe he had predicted too that Fabian would order to capture the demons alive .
In other words, it was a smart attack .
“If you try to move by force the poison will dig deeper into your body . ”
There was nothing he could do about it at all . Fabian was feeling helpless for the first time since he was crowned at the age of 16 . It was a great feeling of humiliation and anger .
‘Well, it doesn’t matter . ’
Evelyn said she had no feelings . Even though the past relationship was over . Fabian couldn’t laugh so hard without actually forgot everything .
It was a lie if he wasn’t upset . Evelyn was shining with happiness as if their marriage had no meaning .
After all, Fabian was an uncomfortable and suffocating existence for Evelyn . As experienced by his mother and Emperor-father
…That was natural .
Fabian swallowed a poison called loneliness that was more deadly and vicious than the poison that paralyzed his body .
