Chapter 43: 43
Fabian rode his horse roughly . The black mane fluttered in the strong wind . Fabian’s speed was terrifying as he continued to spur even after surpassing the Black Hawk Knights .

‘Because I’m used to this . ’

No matter how fast he spurred the horse, he couldn’t forget Evelyn’s blue eyes, which were looked at him at the time . Her figure was more irritating than those who laughed with their tongue .

The conversation he had overheard between noble women sounded very natural, that he could easily guess what Evelyn looked like when she was an Empress .

‘Frustrating, stupid!’

Fabian couldn’t stand it at all when Evelyn said she was used to that . After he gave her everything, he was unable to understand why she acted so stupidly . Above everything, just thinking about it made his heart burn like a bottle of decay .

‘Who said that … Who told you to stay still to their crap!

Once his mind was chaotic, it was hard for Fabian to get rid of his anger . He was just upset with all that had happened . Evelyn, who didn’t make a face about it, and the ladies who picked up trashy words, were dared to be sarcastic about the Emperor’s marriage .

‘A stupid woman . ’

But the thing that hurt him the most was Evelyn of the past . Fabian was angry with her, who had endured such words so many times in a place where she didn’t appear by chance like today .

The more he thought about how Evelyn put up with those words, the more frustrating he was .

If only she told him once, he could have pulled out the ladies’ tongues . No, Fabian could do even more than that .

“Who ordered you to take the misfortune on your own? Why do you always do as you please?”

Evelyn had never asked Fabian for help . She didn’t say anything at all . Her excuse that she was afraid of his eyes didn’t make sense, because the Empress was the only person who could be alone with the Emperor .

Fabian couldn’t accept that she kept silent until the end, foolishly endured alone, and told him she wanted to divorce .

‘Only, for that reason, you’re leaving . ’

For the first time, Fabian was angry at Evelyn . No, actually, he was mad at himself . He’s angry at Evelyn because he didn’t want to admit that he knew nothing .

One day, when he thought he could have stopped a sudden breakup, he became so distressed, so he was deceiving his feelings in this way .

‘If you talk so coldly, do you think anyone will regret it?’

The Emperor was in a position not to have any regrets . At least while he was alive, all his words and actions were right and perfect . If something went wrong, it wasn’t Fabian’s fault, it’s the other’s lack .

‘Who’s doing that? Someone has regretted it too late . ’

Fabian’s hands were tightened with the reins . The emperor had no such feeling . He had to . So Fabian was just angry now . He was angry at the disrespectful nobles, and he was angry at the stupid princess’s attitude .

Fabian still didn’t seem to know that such a scene was the trigger for their breakup .

The hosts looked satisfied, even though the banquet ended badly . The King and the Queen left their tired guests and went to rest happily and Evelyn had a nice time with the Akshire’s brother and sister who were still full of energy .

“Ha, I feel like I’m finally breathing after His Majesty has left . ”

Evelyn smiled at ease and Liam couldn’t figure out why she seemed more happy . Between the two, only Rebecca read a strange atmosphere between them .

“Come on, Liam . Tell me more about it . ” asked Rebecca .

“… . . What do you mean?”

“Why do you think that you’ve been called here, with no fun and no speech?”

Liam blazed his eyes at Rebecca’s beating . He meant, it wasn’t good intentions to help his heart a little while she criticized him for everything .

“You saw the Emperor’s party off to the border . We want to hear that vivid story!”

For a moment, he forgot what kind of person his sister was . Liam stared at Rebecca with a dissatisfied eyes, but of course she couldn’t get it . As soon as he sent the Emperor away, he thought it was strange that he was suddenly invited to come here .

“Isn’t the princess curious, too?”

“Well, a little . ” But for Evelyn, it wasn’t a big deal .

“I-I’m here to tell you the details, actually . ”

Rebecca smiled inside when Liam immediately changed his posture . Even though her younger brother was nauseous, she couldn’t hate his innocence .

“His Majesty… . It seemed like he was very angry on his way back . ”

“Hmm, can I expect more punishment for those ugly ladies?” Rebecca replied positively, but Evelyn shook her head, “No, he’s mad at me . ”

“What? That’s ridiculous . There’s no reason for that!” Liam jumped up . Rebecca felt her younger brother was getting change a little by little . “Those who insult the Princess are sinners, it’s not your fault . ”

“I know . ” Evelyn gave a faint smile, “But His Majesty is honest about his feelings, he was angry with me when he said that he knew what I meant . ”

Fabian was human, too, so he surely had feelings . Even Evelyn, who lived as a couple, could notice his faint expression a little bit .

“Oh, that’s good for me . Now that he’s mad at me, he doesn’t have to put pressure on me to stay in the Felice Kingdom . ”

“That’s great!”

Pure Liam didn’t understand all of Evelyn’s words . The feelings between a man and a woman, and between a couple who had already separated, were still too difficult for him . But one thing for sure, that Evelyn’s ex-husband had left in anger was the good news .

“I hope it doesn’t harm the Felice Kingdom in the future . ” Evelyn mumbled casually, but in contrary, Liam’s face was filled with tension .

“You don’t have to worry about it . I · · · · · · · No, the Akshire will always be a powerful ally of the Felice Kingdom for ever . ”

‘Good job, Liam . ’ Rebecca only cheered her brother in her heart .

“Not only the Duke, but our Akshire could be your strength . ”

“Thanks for the word, and you’re the Duke… . . you’re too humble . ”

The Duke of Akshire’s wealth was similar to the Felice Kingdom . They had a long story, as well as the property, and the business of estate were also behind them . In other words, it was grateful that Liam, a worthy monarch, promised a strong alliance .

“The Empire has never been friendly to the Duke or to any other kingdom, so you don’t have to worry about Your Majesty . ”

Liam looked at Evelyn with a serious face . And that was the best courage for her .

“I and Akshire will be the power of the Princess and the Kingdom of Felice . So… You can forget about the Empire . ”

“Thank you . I feel reassured listening to Lord Liam . ”

The atmosphere was warm . Liam was already imagining the centennials of Felice Kingdom and Akshire . Like his burning heart, he wanted to paint an immortal alliance that would never be broken .

“Well, in my eyes, he’s still not enough, he seems like it’s a little Duke, right?”

Rebecca stepped up on purpose and broke the the atmosphere . It was obvious what Liam was thinking . But literally a hundred years was his quick idea . Even more, he couldn’t do anything about the love in front of him .

“And if you’re a great Duke, it’s time to fulfill your responsibilities . It’s tactless to sit on women’s tetime, isn’t it something you don’t notice?”

“Sister… . . ” Liam bit his molar tightly and spoke low, but Rebecca pretended not to hear .

“Woman don’t like a tactless man, Even though he’s a Duke . ”

It was a magical word that forced Liam to leave on his own . Liam said goodbye to Evelyn and left the door under Rebecca’s trick, even though he still wanted to be there .

“You’re good at things like this all the time . ”

“Oh, no matter how old my brother was, he’s a simple human being . ” Rebecca laughed in victory .

“But he said something useful… . . ”

“Huh?”

” That I don’t have to worry about the Empire . I think I’ve come back from my divorce, and and I think too much of it . ”

“Is that so?”

Both Evelyn and Rebecca weren’t from the Empire, but they had married and divorced an Imperial man . And Rebecca’s ex husband was the Duke of Perth, a long time Imperial’s right-hand .

“My father was thinking about the distant future, so he was trying to build a relationship with the Empire . So we can expand the geographical boundaries and territorial problems of Akshire . ”

The same was true for Kingdom of Felice . The Empire’s southern land was very prosperous but the culture, customs, and crops were quite different compared to their Kingdom .

“Well, Akshire and our Kingdom are all focused on trade . Expanding the territory is an important matter . ”

“It was wrong to say that marriage would solve that problem . ” Evelyn nodded with the same heart .

“The predecessor of Akshire, like my father, is a wise man, unlike Liam . ”

“I know that . He’s my father’s old friend . ” Evelyn said .

“When I came back from my divorce, I still remember what my father said . ”

Honestly, Evelyn was curious about it, but she couldn’t ask . When Evelyn returned, her father Arthur grumbled, but he welcomed her with warm arms . And Evelyn knew it wasn’t easy .

“My father was always strict, so I was prepared to be kicked out, but when he asked me casually if I really came back without a problem, I just went back to my daily life . ”

Indeed he was a great father like Arthur, without reason, there was no way they could become friends .

“But the overall situation was not good . It happened just before all agreements were signed with the Duchess of Perth to expand the trade network … . ” Rebecca said with a smile, but Evelyn could see how painful her heart must have been .

“I had no choice but to say I was sorry, but my father laughed at me . And he told me . After being divorced, it’s impossible for us to meet, so we should never again have such a stupid plan to ask how to seek unity with the Empire . ”

It was a wise and bold word . It wasn’t the races or languages but the cultures that were very, very different .

“So I felt relieved . It’s not that I couldn’t adapted, but I think between us and the Imperial people we’re very different from each other from the beginning… . ”

“Yes, definitely . ” Evelyn nodded .

It wasn’t simply Liam’s good will or her friendship with Rebecca .

Evelyn had lived in the present, free from the past . And the time had come to paint the new future .
