Chapter 38: 38
Fabian had a strong body, so he wouldn’t collapse in the cold rain . But his pride was different when there was no one in the midnight garden .

He didn’t make a mistake about the time because his pocket watch had the most accurate second-hand in the Empire .

“…… . I don’t understand . ”

At first, he thought there was a mistake . But it was impossible for Serus, who was ordered by the Emperor, to make some error in his job .

It must be Evelyn, then, who had a reason to be late . Perhaps the little prince was suddenly sick, or the clock in the royal palace was running late .

“Well, I could forgive you once . ”

Fabian whispered to himself with a kind heart . Then a long time went by . The rain didn’t stop, and the moon which not as strong as he was, seemed to be tired of hanging in the night sky .

“Is there an accident?”

His head was full of doubt . Was the Felice Family in danger perhaps? It’s not usually the case . But to say that, Felice Palace was too quiet .

Suddenly, before he realized it, the rain was pouring, and Fabian stood nervously in his spot .

“It can’t be… . ”

The clouds above his head were gone . No matter how much he tried to endure, the expression of Fabian was full of anger . The only person who could make Fabian wait was his father, the Sun Emperor, who had died when Fabian was 16 years old .

“She’s…really . . ” Fabian’s eyes trembled slightly . The sun was about to rise, and she made the Emperor wait all night . What kind of disloyalty was this?

Fabian stood for a long time in one place until his legs were numb . Cold raindrops soaked Fabian’s hair, and extreme fatigue consumed his entire body . Then, he nervously took the watch out of his pocket .

’12:07 . ’

The Empire’s most precise clock showed that seven minutes had passed the promised time .

“Something is wrong . ”

Fabian muttered with a confused face . What was the eternity of time that he had just felt? He had no doubt that the sun would rise soon . Because he had been stuck in one position for too long, his feet, trained in martial arts, became sore .

“It can’t be . ”

Tik . . tik… The clock needle barely moved a single space . 8 minutes . No . Something was wrong . He had to see it through .

“Serus!” Fabian raised his voice .

Serus arrived a little later than usual since Fabian told him not to show up earlier . But look at how he only approached him after eight minutes, then we could tell that Serus had left Fabian for a long time .

“Your Majesty, it’s raining, so let’s go back for today . ”

“That’s not the problem . ” Fabian said, his face was cold .

“But, if you do this… . . ” Serus sighed deeply in his heart .

Was the Princess really crossing the line?

It didn’t matter whether they divorced or not, no matter if this was the territory of the Felice Kingdom, they were all in a position to obey the imperial authority . But Evelyn refused to accept the Emperor’s request, thus ignoring his commands .

“Felice Kingdom and Princess Evelyn, to them, I… . ” Fabian squinted his eyes with a serious look .

“It seems that something unusual has happened . ”

“Yes . ·····Yes?” Serus lifted his eyes to see his master, and his unquestioned glance returned . Even his face was filled with worry .

“Probably, it’s not normal . They’re pretending to be in peace now, but there must be something wrong . ”

“How could you think that way???”

“Look . ” Fabian showed his pocket watch .

“Yes . It’s 12:08, Your Majesty . ”

It’s still 12:08 a . m . The second-hand was moving very slowly .

“You can’t tell after seeing this . ”

Serus blinked . Now he seemed to have understood the situation . But he didn’t know what to say, to make Fabian realize the so-called ‘wait’ and ‘impatient’ ?”

“Forgive me Your Majesty, but I’m not sure … . ”

“The princess seems to be in danger I need to check this out . ”

Fabian hastened away immediately, and Serus pursued him desperately while he racked his brains .

“Your Majesty, you can’t go further into the women’s palace . ”

“We must save Evelyn!”

Serus made a decision at this point . He didn’t have a choice but, to tell the truth .

“Actually, she won’t come… because it seems the princess doesn’t obey your order . ”

“Really? What’s going on? How serious is it?”

Serus was at a crisis . He couldn’t keep his mouth shut, but he couldn’t tell a lie either .

“She had a chat with Lady Akshire … and then she went to bed early…”

“No,…are you sure?”

“I checked directly with the chief of staff . I did it three times . ”

Blinking, Fabian slowly closed his eyes and then opened them .

“The chief asked the maid’s bedroom to go in and see her . They checked it three times . The Princess is sleeping now … . ”

Fabian’s face was hardened . No matter how serious the report he heard, this kind of expression rarely appeared on his face, But this time, it seemed that Fabian was speechless .

“……”

Whether or not this was a positive thing, Surprisingly, Fabian seemed to be able to feel and understand a little about the pain of human relationships . Serus nodded in appreciation for the patience of his master .

“Your Majesty, let’s go back to your place . ”

“No, you go back alone . ”

“……… . Y-Yes?”

Fabian sat down again on a bench in the garden with a calm look .

“My thought was too short . I think she didn’t want to show the people in this Kingdom that we had a secret meeting at night . So there’s no chance for them to spread rumors . ”

“Oh, Your Majesty… . ” Serus blurred his words . He didn’t know what to say when he looked at Fabian’s face, full of confidence .

Even though he was simply trying to deny that, it wasn’t easy to accept such a rejection . But it seemed, Fabian was thinking in a totally different direction .

“Then I’ll go back now . ”

Serus sighed deeply . There was nothing he could do right now .

Anyway, after tonight, Fabian would realize . The fact that he was clearly rejected, and waited without a promise was a ruthless one .

Though he was an emperor, it was a feeling that he had no choice but to learn himself .

****

The chat with Rebecca didn’t stop . At one o’clock in the morning, the two women finally returned to their own bedrooms . They promised that they would block Nora from entering their rooms tomorrow .

Evelyn felt at ease as she lay down on a fluffy bed . She liked the sound of the rain knocking on her window .

“Ah, It’s raining…”

Even before she finished speaking, Evelyn burst out laughing at herself .

“He… . . what a foolish idea . ”

Fabian wasn’t someone who wanted to get caught in the rain in the garden . It was impossible to happen even if Evelyn was born twice again .

And he waited an hour for Evelyn? It was impossible to even in a dream .

“But, if it were possible …… no, no …something like that wouldn’t have happened . ”

Evelyn was reflecting on her past . It hadn’t yet happened . But it seemed like it had happened in the past to Evelyn, who had been through it all and now returned .

“He has made this …”

Evelyn almost raised the curtain and peeped into the garden without realizing it . But she realized it was just useless . Her marriage to Fabian had always been the same .

When he lifted her heart with just a little hope, she soon had to cover herself deeply in fear .

“Now I don’t expect anything . ”

Evelyn simply concluded and closed her eyes . She had a good night’s sleep if she didn’t have any worries .

At the same moment, Evelyn had no idea, that Fabian had been waiting for her all night long in the garden .

Fabian was very stubborn, trying to deny the facts until dawn broke on the horizon . And his lip trembled as the bright sun was shining on his face .

“Your Majesty, let’s go, ······ . ”

“Okay . ”

Fabian struggled to get up from the bench . Only the seat where he was seated wasn’t wet . But fortunately, Serus was the only one who watched the scene all night long .

“Ha… . She dared to break my order…”

Looked like what he said just now wasn’t the answer for Serus . The intense feeling he felt at this time was rare and made Fabian’s black eyes froze coldly . It was the anger that came after the denial of reality .

“Is that the answer for me? Oh … well that’s what you mean . ”

Since he noticed that the garden could clearly be seen through the window from Evelyn’s residence . So, she must know that Fabian had been waiting for her because he had never broken a promise .

In other words, Evelyn deceived him .

“Deception is unacceptable . ”

In Fabian’s mind, Evelyn had crossed the line . It was nice to have violated the Emperor’s orders now . And Fabian couldn’t forgive himself for forcing himself to wait . He opened his eyes to the emotion that had flooded in his heart .

“I’ve seen the wrong person . I didn’t expect her to be such an arrogant and unkind woman . ”

If Evelyn heard this, she would be dumbfounded . In fact, Fabian only waited seven minutes with a good heart, and the rest of the time before dawn was spent in vain while denying the truth . That’s why Fabian felt so angry right now .

“Is this the way of Felice Kingdom? I knew it well……”

Fabian never had any grudge against other people . He hated the Pope, but it was his position as Emperor .

“It’s pretty good to make me think of this . ”

In the first place, before the Emperor hated someone, that ‘object’ would disappear . Because it had to be removed from the Emperor’s sight first . And it was the Emperor’s job to deal with all hatred and remorse and make someone take care of it .

“Would you like to punish someone?” Serus, who had been keeping his eye on him, asked carefully .

“Yes . ”

Fabian didn’t hesitate .

“But it wouldn’t be fair to just punish . I’ll pay back this time in the despicable way of Felice’s Kingdom . ”

Fabian’s strong jawline was tightened . This time, Serus also seemed like he didn’t have time to comment . Though he felt that something was going wrong somewhere .

No one thought that it would be so difficult to return to the Imperial Palace without any problems .
