Chapter 78: 78
By the time Fabian reached the Felice Kingdom through the night, David was also looking at the same moon .
As a group of cloudy clouds passed, a full moon came into sight and illuminated the night .
“Why those two, who aren’t supposed to meet the most, keep running into each other?” he said to himself as if he didn’t understand .
“No……he’s chasing her one-sidely . Will you repeat the tragedy?”
David was a long-time watcher of human history . The longer he watched it, the more difficult it was for him to understand what a person’s personal feelings meant . The tiny pieces in the great flow of history were just like dust to him .
“Normally, I don’t interfere, but if I don’t, I cannot avoid destruction again . ”
The tower’s guardian shouldn’t be involved or intervene in human life . Since signing a contract with the Empire’s first Emperor, David never had any contact with humans . But when he met Evelyn, things fell apart .
“His madness and cruelty have already crossed human boundaries . ”
‘His’ that he meant wasn’t the current Fabian . But David saw with his own eyes how Fabian dyed this continent with blood in other future . After losing his beloved woman and his human heart, Fabian lived his life with suspicion and massacre .
David couldn’t know precisely when he became insane since it was so difficult for David to understand the human heart .
[‘No matter how much I swear, I only can stop, if I forget her . ’]
David remembered Fabian’s black eyes, shining madly with blood on his face .
He killed, killed, and killed the living . And then he came to the end of the world where David was .
[‘Are you… . . who can turn everything back?’]
David shook his head at Fabian’s cold question . There was no reason for him to use forbidden-time-magic for humans .
[’Can’t you save one person?’]
At that time, Fabian had already put his sword down .
[‘The moment my wife died, I felt an unbearable emptiness in my heart . And at the end of the emptiness, I heard a voice continuously craving for blood . It ……was controlling me . Even now, this hand is trying to kill someone . ’]
Fabian’s eyes were stained with despair as he killed countless people .
[’At this rate, I will kill myself for the last time if there are no more people to kill after I exterminate everyone on this continent . I … I don’t even know what I’m thinking . Now, at this time, too . ’]
Those were the words of a man who had been overcome by madness .
[‘Return her from the death . Before this madness rules me . ’]
Then, David opened his eyes . It’s a possibility—an opportunity to protect the balance of this crooked world .
[‘The power of the Tower isn’t to satisfy human needs . Our way is different . ’]
[‘I accept whatever the result is . As long as she’s not going to die like that . As long as her soul wouldn’t grieve at the sight of my slaughter… yes, I want to end this wrong world . ’]
[‘I agree that this world is wrong . And You’re a sinful man . ’]
Once… . it could only be reversed once .
[‘I will turn your relationship with her to ‘nothing . ’ And you will never meet each other again . ’]
[‘Then… . . she won’t die unhappily? And I don’t need to experience this madness? ‘]
[‘Yes . ’]
A limp-bloodied Fabian knelt in front of David .
[‘That’s enough . ’]
David accepted it as an oath and consent .
Leaving Fabian, he returned to the Tower and cast the forbidden-time-magic .
But the results led him to something completely unexpected . It’s the wrong time dimension . Where did he arrive when Evelyn was already dying . David failed to reach the time to return all of Evelyn’s life ties to nothing .
[‘It’s so cold . I don’t want to die . ’]
It was an incomprehensible result that the despair of a beautiful woman would soon turn the continent into a pool of blood .
But David decided to do what he could .
[‘It could be reversed . ’]
But, David’s power alone was incomplete .
[‘Your great despair, your miserable wish, and your deep regret . Now give it all to me . ’]
Evelyn, who had come to her death, didn’t even know who she was talking to .
[‘I no longer have the power to overturn this world’s time . But if it’s just your life’s time, I can turn it back’]
Thus, David added Evelyn’s wish to his imperfect power to create one final turn of time . He managed to return Evelyn’s life, but only ten years . However, it was enough time to change her fate .
It was an unforgettable moment for David . And until now, he felt he had made the right choice .
“As expected, the forbidden magic is impossible; it can’t be perfect . ”
Even though David couldn’t turn her relationship into ‘nothing,’ Evelyn willingly left Fabian’s side . But, he didn’t expect that Fabian’s persistence wouldn’t stop, even a life that shouldn’t exist was born .
Not enough of that, the current Fabian was trying to get closer to the truth .

David even had a hard time controlling the demons now . So he had no choice but to wear Paladin’s mask and borrow the Vatican’s power . It was impossible to make those demons disappear entirely . However, at the very least, he could control the time and location they appeared .
David defeated all of the demons with the power of the Vatican . In the same way, he also manipulated the Wyverns to prevent Fabian from approaching, as had happened on the previous big festival day .
“It would be easier if you gave up then,” David said bitterly to himself .
Yes, humans had always been things that didn’t go as planned . Even more so because this was the first time, David had been involved in someone’s life .
“I’m sorry for that woman, but there’s only one way left . ”
David recalled Evelyn’s figure with her blue eyes . She must have forgotten about him . But David still remembered how she cried out, saying that she wanted to protect her son .
“It is unavoidable for the balance of this world . ”
David, the guardian, couldn’t kill someone carelessly . If a guardian directly touched a human’s life, the balance would be broken . It was also the reason why the destruction of the continent couldn’t be avoided by killing Fabian .
Even now, David couldn’t kill him as Fabian was a natural existence that had existed on this continent from the beginning .
“But that child… is the only life that didn’t exist in the original world . ”
Human life couldn’t be added or diminished freely . But, Adrian’s case was different . That child was destined to die in Evelyn’s womb without seeing the light of the world in its original time .
Evelyn had two miscarriages, and the first was Adrian .
For David, there was no difference between Adrian or the second child who disappeared as Evelyn’s fate changed because all of them were initially unborn lives .
“It’s a cruel fate for her . ”
David, who mumbled for a moment, was a little surprised by what he said . It was an unfamiliar feeling for him to sympathize with a human being .
“What a nonsense …… . ”
David called out something towards the darkness . The gentle wind followed the slow movements of his hands .
“Go . ”
At David’s command, the demon that would appear somewhere on the continent now would head to Adrian . He had to break the ties between Fabian and Evelyn .
“Now, there should be no mistake . ”
David’s violet eyes, as always, had a quiet glow .
The Felice Kingdom welcomed the Emperor in a relaxed manner, without any reception .
“He wants me to wait until morning?” Fabian frowned and asked Serus again .

“Yes, that’s what the King said . ”
Serus had conveyed and emphasized that the Emperor’s visit was very private and confidential . Then Arthur gave an unobtrusive-separate palace as his residence since he refused to accept the idea of meeting Princess Evelyn right away .
“I guess he knows why I came here . ” Fabian said quietly, “No way, is he trying to get the princess out from the palace … . . ?”
“Logan is watching . But there’s no sign of anyone leaving or coming . ”
“You couldn’t see the Kingdom’s secret passage . ”
“No, but he looked into the Princess’s residence . He could confirm that she’s there . ”
Fabian nodded after that . If the morning came, they wouldn’t be able to postpone the meeting any longer .
No matter what, Fabian tried to see Evelyn’s face in person and check it out . He was already convinced, but before that, he wanted to ask Evelyn why .
“And…… Lady Akshire is with her . ” Serus carefully added .
“It’s not a new thing . ”
“According to Logan’s report, Duke Akshire has officially entered the palace since yesterday . ”
Fabian frowned when he heard that name .
“Why didn’t he come out?”
Regarding loyalty or not to the Emperor, that was a later matter . The problem now was Liam’s trick . Since he also a man, Fabian was instinctively annoyed .
“He was so brave to have a heart for my woman . ”
“What? Who has a heart?”
“Who else! That damn Duke of Akshire . ”
“Really?” Serus’ eyes widened in surprise . He had spent a few days at the Duke’s residence with Liam, but he never thought about it . ” I had no idea . ”
“Ha…I don’t expect that kind of reconnaissance from you anyway . ”
Fabian was still better than Serus . He met Evelyn, loved her, and married her . Therefore, Fabian could tell Liam’s feelings for Evelyn faster than anyone else . If he was a man, he had no choice but to do it .
“The Empress is beautiful . ”
At some point, Fabian called Evelyn the Empress again .
“So, of course, there are so many bugs around her . ”
Fabian first got to know about Evelyn was because he heard rumors that she was the most beautiful woman on the continent . And when he saw Evelyn for the first time, Fabian recognized her immediately without knowing her name .

Even rumors were nothing compared to reality .
“It’s my job to get rid of them . ”
Nobody ever seduced Evelyn . Since they didn’t dare to turn the Emperor into a rival . The same was true even now . Except for one person, the Duke of Akshire, who couldn’t read Fabian’s signal .
“What do you think the most beautiful woman in the world needs?”
Serus blinked his eyes at Fabian’s unexpected question .
“That’s the strongest man in the world . ” Fabian’s black eyes glowed arrogantly as he said that .
“So, from the beginning to the end, it must be me . ”
His low voice rang clearly . There was no trace of discouragement in Fabian’s voice, even though Evelyn had abandoned him for no reason .
If that child, Adrian, was his child, the breakup couldn’t be established .
“I’m ashamed that I couldn’t find her reason . Otherwise, I wouldn’t end this relationship easily . ”
Fabian didn’t know Evelyn would leave him . Nor did he think that he would divorce by the Vatican’s interference .
“But there’s no problem anymore . I know why . ”
“Huh, do you know·····?” Serus asked back with astonishment . Then Fabian nodded proudly, “I was a bad husband . ”
“What? How dare she said that . ”
“It’s all right . I was the Empress’s husband, so she’s the only one who can judge me . ”
He wasn’t wrong . Evelyn was the only woman who was Fabian’s wife .
“Probably, for the southern continent’s people, the rational thinking of the Imperial person seems to feel heartless . ”
“Is that so? I didn’t know that . ”
“But now I know what the problem is . So it’s settled . ”
“Your Majesty is right . ”
Serus was deeply impressed . Indeed, the Emperor, Fabian, was different than anything else .
“I will do my best… . . ”
He was rarely touched, and also his eyes were seldom filled with tears, but this time another emotion was created in Fabian’s eyes .
“At least I won’t make the Empress sad again . ”
Although it wasn’t enough, it’s also sincere .
