Chapter 62: 62
Serus’s skill to handle the hawks was very stable and calm .
“They’re not dangerous because they’re highly trained . Princess, why don’t you join us?”
Evelyn quickly stood by Adrian’s side . Even though the hawks hadn’t yet become adults, they were quite big, and their black feathers were so wide .
“Once the hawk remember their master, they’re a loyal bird that will remember you for life . ”
“It’s a good bird . ”
“Hawk! Hawk!” Adrian’s face was packed with enthusiasm . Seeing that, Evelyn unwittingly began to covet the black hawk . At first, she thought it was a big, creepy bird, but when she saw it again, it was cute like Adrian .
“What do you think . I directly trained them and their pedigree is considered to be one of the finest in the Empire,” Fabian said .
“Sure, it’s great . ”Evelyn smiled peacefully, even though Fabian’s words were full of arrogance as usual . Fabian seemed to be a little flattered by her unexpected response . Still, he was able to bear it, and he looked at Evelyn right away .
“Why do you think I brought this hawk to the Felice Kingdom?”
“As a gift to the little prince?”
Fabian nodded with a faint smile, “This hawk now memorized the skyway from the Empire to this Kingdom . And if they remember you as their master, they will follow you everywhere . ”
“You want to give this hawk to me…?”
“Yes . It’s the best way to send the letter faster and safer than sending it back and forth via courier . ”
Fabian struggled all day to get this trick . After all, it was possible to send letters using the black eagle because he was the Emperor . Because a trained black hawk was more expensive than the cost of a family’s food for a year .
“But it’s too much for me…” As usual, Evelyn’s eyes were trying to say no, but Adrian already looked so happy .
“It’s too much, but I’ll gladly accept it . ”
Fabian’s lips lifted in satisfaction after Evelyn finally accepted his gift .
“Adrian, His Majesty gave a hawk as a gift to the Felice Kingdom . ”
Evelyn thought it would be fine for Adrian to say hello for a while since it was unnatural for the Prince to leave without greeting the Emperor .
“Hawk! hawk, live here?”
“Yes Adrian, the hawk will live together with us now . ”
Adrian walked very well while holding Evelyn’s hand . But somehow, Fabian felt empty whenever he saw the two of them .
“Abulin… . Hawk!” Adrian showed his innocent and laughed with joy . At the same time, Evelyn’s cheeks also blushed with happiness . Fabian, who watched the scene, approached them with jealousy for no reason .
“Well, little prince, this hawk was given by me . ”
“Abulin, Hawk!”
“It’s Me . ” Fabian pointed his finger at himself . He wondered if he had to keep his eye level with the child, but he felt that something was wrong . But suddenly, Evelyn hugged Adrian for fear of a fuss .
In the meantime, Adrian’s mouth kept talking nonstop, “Hawk…like, Abulin . ”
“So what about me?” Fabian looked straight at Adrian, who was hugged by Evelyn and pointed to himself . He bowed down his body to match Adrian’s eye level .
“Your Majesty, the Prince is still young… . . ”
“I guess that’s all you need to say, huh?”
Evelyn was unable to refute his words .
“It’s ‘Me’ . ” Fabian continued to talk, but suddenly Adrian turned his attention to Fabian . It was only now that he realized what Fabian’s hand gestures meant .
“Me…”
Everyone in the garden, except for Adrian, opened their eyes .

“Me, give hawk?”
“I apologize, Your Majesty . I’m going to take the Prince with me . ”
“Me, hug me!”
Evelyn thought like a cold sweat was flowing down her back . At this moment, Adrian, who had never created a mess, unexpectedly made the atmosphere of the palace garden tense .
“The title is a mess . ‘Me’ is the word I use, and you shouldn’t say it” Fabian was very earnest in replying to the child .
“Mess!”
But it seemed that Adrian always repeated Fabian’s word . Adrian laughed and looked at him as if his word was funny .
“Me, mess!”
“Huh?”
“Me is a mess !!
At this point, Evelyn had no choice but to shut up Adrian’s mouth . ”Excuse me because the Prince is still young . Please forgive him generously, Your Majesty . ”
In fact, Fabian hated the noisy and rude person the most . And now Adrian was both . But there was no displeasure in his face . Instead, with a faint smile on his face, Fabian watched Adrian in Evelyn’s arms as if he saw something unusual .
“With this hawk, you can exchange letters with me . ”
“Your Majesty, our ties have already been broken , so it’s meaningless even if we exchange a letters . ”
“Then I will take this hawk and not forgive the prince’s rudeness . ” said Fabian calmly . “I decided not to care about being shameful . ” There was sincerity in his expression as he said that .
It seemed that he was already used to Evelyn’s reaction . Somehow, his attitude was very childish, and Evelyn had never seen Fabian act like this when they were living together . Although he said it casually with a laugh, for some reason, Evelyn didn’t hate it .

“Thank you so much for the hawk …”
“You’ll take one . And the rest will fly in order, so you’ll see it later . ”
Evelyn bent her knee to say goodbye . Fabian stayed in the garden the whole time until her back disappeared . The black hawk, which was left alone and separated from his brothers, cried a few times in the cage because he was lonely .
“The more you rush, the longer it takes . The longest way round is the shortest way home . Slow and steady wins the race . ”
Fabian remembered that proverb . If the other person felt pressure in a face-to-face conversation, you could slowly resolve it with letters . It’s one of the things he had learned in the Empire . And there was no objection at all from the opponent when Fabian used this method .
“By the way, he’s a cute Prince . How old is he now?” asked Fabian as if he were dealing with other creatures . Initially, he hated noisy children, but for him, Adrian felt strange rather than displeasing . ” If he have more than ten teeth, he must be over a year old, why don’t you go and ask the maid?”
“Yes . ”
Fabian buried his imagination in the depths of his heart . For a moment, he wanted to recall the scene of a person standing quietly alone as a family, because he didn’t want anyone to see his weak heart .
So the Emperor fulfilled his wishes and returned to the Empire in a lonely way . The little Prince grew up day by day, and the rich atmosphere of the southern continent remained as the trade routes problem and crop disasters passed safely .
“Hawk! Hawk!”
Now every morning, Evelyn woke up with the sound of Adrian calling her a hawk . By the time she got used to it, she felt Adrian’s voice grew louder than usual .
“Hawk! Long time no see!”
The third hawk, taken by Fabian, flew safely into the Felice Kingdom with a letter . Evelyn unwittingly stood up in her pajamas and received the letter .
When the seal was ripped off, Fabian’s uniquely elegant and strong handwriting filled the white paper .
[The Empire is really peaceful . It’s the same with me . This hawk has a noble bloodline and has been trained by the Empire, so he’ll certainly find his destination well . I’m working on public relations every day after I’m back . ]
It really was Fabian’s letter . Evelyn thought it was hilarious when she imagined he was struggling and spent his time writing this letter .
[I wonder if the ten-toothed Prince’s etiquette education is going well . Teach him that the black hawk is a precious treasure of the Empire, so it’s important to take good care of it . ]

She couldn’t just laugh at this part . Even now, Evelyn felt heavy on her shoulders when she saw Adrian so excited to see the hawk beside her .
[Don’t leave the palace, as the demons always appear in the surrounding area . Also, I would like to ask you not to trust the Vatican too much . While it will definitely read politically, this is the advice I offer you as a man named Fabian, not the Emperor . ]
Fabian seemed to have changed a little .
[Evelyn, I hope you’re always healthy, and don’t lose your smile . With heart, From Fabian, ]
Evelyn reread the letter slowly . It was amazing that his handwriting, which used to be cold in the past, now felt warm . Evelyn had a faint smile on her face while looking at his letter .
“Princess, what is it?”
Lily came up and asked when she saw the letter in Evelyn’s hand .
“Oh, it’s a hawk from the Imperial family!” asked Lily .
“Yes, Adrian was excited . ”
“Then the letter is… from His Majesty?”
Evelyn nodded . Lily naturally held out her hands politely and bent her knees . Usually, it was common to receive the Emperor’s handwriting like this and burn it immediately after seeing it .
Evelyn knew it best, but it was when she didn’t interested in it . But now, Evelyn was unwittingly hesitating to burn it .
In her heart, Evelyn wanted to keep this letter .
“Oh, here . ” However, Evelyn stopped thinking, handed the letter to Lily, and left the room because she didn’t want to see Fabian’s handwriting burnt .
She got used to the tricky etiquette, and she felt dizzy every time she lifted her head .
“With heart, From Fabian . ”
Actually, she wanted to keep it because it was the first time Evelyn had heard a phrase like that from him .
But she quietly buried her heart in that secret . Just like Fabian did where she didn’t know .
