Chapter 61: 61
Rebecca kept her promise to deliver the news . And Evelyn soon heard about the Emperor who wanted to meet her .
Evelyn nodded without shaking her head . Looking closely, Evelyn, whom she met after a few days, was quite thin .
“Princess, are you all right… . ?”
“Ah … this?” Evelyn placed her finger under the dark shade of her eyes . Her dark circles were obvious, and her body seemed to be dripping with exhaustion . “Since two days ago, Adrian … had toothache . ” Evelyn’s face was hollow due to a lack of sleep .
“The speed of teething varies from child to child, So I thought he’d be fine as the first time . ” Evelyn sighed deeply . It was so strange to see Adrian crying out loud . Evelyn couldn’t sleep because Adrian, who was usually so gentle, cried all night long .
“Why don’t you leave him to your nanny?”
“I didn’t think of anything at that time . All I could do was held and soothed him until morning . ”
Evelyn called a doctor because she was worried about his condition . After hearing that Adrian’s teeth were growing and he was suffering from the pain, she felt sorry for him . He was crying so hard that Evelyn didn’t want to leave him to someone else .
“If like that, you will harm your health . But has he not suffered from toothache a while ago? The King Majesty looked so proud of Adrian . ”
“Ah, do you mean when his upper teeth and lower teeth were 8?”
“Yes . ”
Why the people in this royal palace so interested in the number of teeth of the little young prince?
“He didn’t feel the pain that time . This is the first time he had a real toothache . Well, it’s a big teeth, two molars up and down . ·········So now I have to go to stop my father . ”
“Why?”
“It’s a big deal if he hold a festival because Adrian has more than 10 teeth . Rebecca, you know my father, right?”
“Yeah, sure . ”
“Yes, my father is always serious with his words . ”
Miriam had left the palace to fulfill her official duties . So for a moment, Evelyn entrusted Adrian to Rebecca . Most of the time, babysitting would be performed by a personal maid, but Evelyn asked her to be Adrian’s playmate . And when Rebecca was readily accepted, Evelyn dashed to find King Arthur .
“How old do you think you are, can’t you calm down a little?”
Arthur, who was sitting alone in the living room, saw Evelyn out of breath . It was an effort to protect her father’s honor in future generations, but she felt a little unfair .
“Did you know about Adrian’s teeth?”
“Of course . I know everything about Adrian . ”
“But his tooth will falls out soon . ”
Suddenly, Arthur’s eyes widened .
“Did you forget? My first tooth fell out quickly and after that my real tooth came out . ”
“Oh I think it was true” But in truth, Arthur had forgotten about it since he was already old when he raised Evelyn .
“If you hold a festival to celebrate Adrian’s teeth that will fall, the festival’s meaning may change a little . ”
“Ah, you’re right, it can be ominous, … . Then, I’ll have to postpone this festival . ”
And eventually, Evelyn managed to convince Arthur to postpone the festival festivities to the next few years .
“So … did you come by yourself?”
Evelyn looked puzzled this time, “Yes . ”
“There you go . Go away . ”
The sullen Arthur shook his withering hands . As if he had no business with Evelyn, who had not brought Adrian . Evelyn, Arthur’s only daughter, was dumbfounded . Still, she had no choice but to sigh as she looked at her father’s childish behavior . Besides, Evelyn decided to go back because she already missed Adrian .
“Princess, have you meet the King Majesty already?” Lily asked . And Evelyn smiled at her, who was standing at the door .
” I wanted to see Adrian, so I ran away secretly from my father . ”
Lily smiled together at Evelyn’s lively appearance and opened the playroom .
“Adrian? Rebecca?”
As she rushed into the room, she heard Adrian’s cheerful laugh . Evelyn didn’t know what he was doing . Still, she was grateful to Rebecca for making Adrian laugh happily, who always cried these days .
“Adrian? ····Oh, Rebecca!”
The view that unfolded before her eyes were the exact opposite of what she imagined . The only thing that looked happy was Adrian, and Rebecca climbed to the sofa and ran away from him .

“What, are you doing? Adrian? Did you bully Lady Rebecca?”
“No, Princess . First of all, …… Please remove that . ”
Evelyn turned her head, and she found a fairy tale book with a big black hawk on the floor and a doll made of real bird feathers . The black hawk, the man’s dream all over the continent, stole tole the boy’s heart as well .
The problem was that Rebecca was trying to get Adrian’s attention, so she told him the story of the black hawk . Adrian, excited at the moment, then he brought his black hawk toys . Rebecca ran to the sofa when he chased her with a doll made of real feathers .
“Adrian, let go of this . ”
“Uh, noooo . ”
“You have to let it go, and you have to speak politely . ”
“Ebulinnn…noooo !”
Adrian, he began to struggle with his body . He was very heavy now, and it was hard for Evelyn to handle him alone . Now his vocabulary had expanded, so he was talking quite a lot . That’s why he was able to articulate exactly what he wanted in words .
Actually, Evelyn didn’t know which part was terrifying, but she couldn’t let Rebecca tremble like that .
“Nora, Lily . ”
At Evelyn’s call, two maids came in and carried Adrian out . Just then did Evelyn sigh, and she saw her best friend shivering on the sofa . A moment later, after drinking a cup of tea, Rebecca had a pale face, as if she was having a nightmare . Face as if she had a nightmare .
“You might think of me as a dumb woman because I’m afraid of birds . ”
“No, everyone must be scared of something . It’s all right . ” Evelyn reached out and comforted Rebecca’s trembling shoulder . “I’m scared of sparrows, but I love black hawks, they’re so beautiful just by looking at their feathers . ”
“I told the tale of the black hawk to get his attention, I forgot that the prince was a man of this continent, too . ”
“Adrian is still young, so he won’t be interested in that . ”
“No . You saw it earlier . His black hawk collection, ·····, and he was happy to know that there’s a black hawks near here . ”
“What do you mean by that?”
Oops . Rebecca tried to shut her mouth, but it was too late because Evelyn already looked at her with her blue eyes .

“His Majesty, he’s coming is to give you the black hawk . ”
“So?”
“His Majesty is bringing a black hawk to the Felice Palace . ”
“What? It’s the same thing?”
“Yes . And Prince Adrian seemed understood exactly what it meant . ”
Blinking, Evelyn slowly closed and opened her eyes .
“I’m so sorry… . . ”
Adrian, who had become more stubborn and assertive, mostly if he had decided and asked for something . Rebecca knew about the situation, so she begged for her forgiveness first .
“No, I’m sure you can convince me of this . What did you do when Sir Liam was so obsessed with something when he was a kid?”
“Well, I usually hit him . ”
“Except for hitting?”
“I kicked him . ”
“Oh yes, other than using your body?”
“Ah,…I dropped a big pot in the kitchen over his head . ”
The two were facing each other, but their attitude to handle their younger brothers was too different .
“No, I need to think of more peaceful way . ”
“The only thing that can stop my brother who’s already starting to get naughty is violence . ”
“I … … believe in Adrian’s intelligence!”
Speaking clearly, Rebecca sighed as she looked at Evelyn’s back as she left the playroom . Younger brother and intelligence, in her experience, the two elements had never been together .
Fabian needed to thank Rebecca because she had done more than he expected . Adrian started to rebel and put up the first resistance in his life . His crying made Evelyn gave up and decided to accept the Emperor’s visit with the hawk .

“Your Majesty, because of the prince’s extraordinary interest in the black hawk, the Felice Kingdom is begging you to come as soon as possible . ”
“Oh really? The prince is young, but he has a good eye . A man should be chasing a black hawk . ”
“The hawks have completed their training, so they will get along well with any master they meet . ”
“Well, let’s give him one of those . ”
“Your Majesty is very generous . ”
He thought that he would never meet Evelyn again . That day, there was not a grain of regret left in her back, as if she had put down all the stories . But, Fabian didn’t imagine that he would come to the Felice Palace with a black hawk as an excuse .
This animal made things easier because they captured the little prince’s heart . Although it was unpleasant that the Emperor was treated less than the little prince’s stubbornness, Fabian couldn’t help it . If it was for Evelyn’s sake .
“Your Majesty, this way . ” Serus guided him to the Felice Palace’s garden . There was a cage with hawks installed in advance . Looking at it, Fabian nodded satisfactorily . Soon after, Evelyn and Adrian appeared in the garden . The meeting was made on the condition that the prince would be allowed to see the hawk .
“I see you, Your Majesty . ” Evelyn gave a simple example .
“Do you think I’m shameful?” asked Fabian .
“No . ” Evelyn’s face with she raised her head up was quite gaunt but still pretty .
“Just… I won’t deny that I’m a little tired . ” Evelyn didn’t say this for no reason; her face was so haggard . At the moment, looking at her, Fabian felt a complicated feeling of pity and guilt .
“Since the prince has been looking forward to it, could you show me the hawk?”
“…… . . Okay . ”
When Fabian nodded to Serus, the curtain covering the birdcage was removed . When they saw the light, the hawks spread their huge wings all at once . And Adrian’s eyes were full of admiration for those wild and brave creatures .
“Hawk! Hawk! Like!” Adrian’s vocabulary improved again . When Fabian looked at him, Serus himself took a hawk out of the cage and placed it on the back of his arm and made contact with Adrian’s eyes .
Adrian approached the hawk with curious eyes, and, fearlessly, he touched the black hawk’s beautiful figure .
Evelyn looked at such Adrian from behind with a loving glance .
“I can’t believe I’m losing my presence to the animals . ”
Fabian, standing from a distance and watching the scene, talked to himself so low that nobody could hear it .
