Chapter 93: 93
Fabian was confused and didn’t know what to do, staring at Evelyn, who had been crying for a long time .
But it seemed, compared to before, he had changed a little . Fabian, who was worried, got up from his seat, sat down beside Evelyn . Then he rested her head on his shoulders . She didn’t know, but it took a lot of courage for Fabian to do so .
“Evelyn . ” He called her name softly . Surprisingly, Evelyn didn’t refuse Fabian’s touch . She just leaned on his shoulder and shed silent tears . “How am I supposed to leave you like this?”
She looked pitiful and sad like flower petals that were about to fall . She wanted to do something, but she couldn’t, Fabian’s heart ached every time he thought of her .
“I …… become helpless only in front of you”, said Fabian . “There’s nothing to fear in this world, but Evelyn, every time I see you crying, I … I don’t know what to do . ”
It was always like that . Fabian, the Emperor, always looked shabby and frail in front of Evelyn, as if he had nothing . He wanted to give the world and everything inside it to her, but it broke his heart when she couldn’t stop crying .
“But, I don’t want to feel regrets anymore . ” Fabian deeply regretted his past self doing nothing . So now he wanted to have a different future .
“Evelyn, please stop crying . ” Evelyn’s blue eyes looked at Fabian closely as he reached his hand and wiped her cheek . “I won’t make a decision alone . When you stop crying and calm down……, let’s find another way together . ”
Her eyes blinked . Evelyn had never thought that such an answer would come from Fabian .
“Yes, stop crying like that . ” Fabian’s gaze felt familiar . His eyes were identical to Adrian’s when he looked at her . When he saw Evelyn, Fabian’s heart ached as if he saw his son, who cried sadly . Evelyn couldn’t believe Fabian had such feelings, but now she wasn’t sure .
“Why? Did I say something weird?” Fabian was conscious of her gaze and asked Evelyn carefully .
“Just…Your Majesty is strange,” said Evelyn frankly . It seemed that she spoke those words without knowing it .
“What’s strange about it? I don’t know because I’ve never soothed anyone . ” Fabian looked embarrassed, so he tried to make some excuse .
“No . ” Evelyn eventually felt that her tears had stopped . “It’s nothing . ”
After pouring tears, she was attacked by drowsiness . The scent of Fabian’s body was so calming and faintly felt close by .
This feeling, it felt like time was turning back . But Evelyn didn’t hate it . It’s the strangest thing, but I couldn’t say . Instead, Evelyn lifted her head, which she leaned unknowingly from Fabian’s shoulder .
“Now . ”
In an awkward atmosphere, Fabian hesitated, not knowing what to do, took a cup of tea, and handed it to Evelyn . Evelyn took the cup from his hands, drank a few sips, and breathed deeply . When Fabian believed Evelyn was already calm, he gave his handkerchief to her .
“It’s not my decision to take Adrian with me . ”
Evelyn listened to Fabian as she wiped her tear marks .
“The doctor who is treating Adrian now said that I should . ”
“Sir Philip?”
Fabian nodded his head slowly . Evelyn also knew that Philip was Fabian’s long-time doctor . No doctor in this continent was more famous and great than him . In her heart, Evelyn felt grateful to Fabian for bringing Philip .
“I think it would be easier if you hear it yourself . Would you like to meet Philip?”
“Yes . ”
Fabian soon called Philip, who had been waiting for his call . In front of Evelyn, Philip explained that Adrian was currently addicted and couldn’t be separated from Fabian while doing blood treatment . Evelyn didn’t cry anymore even though she was very scared when she heard the word addiction .
“Sir Philip . Are you sure there’s no other way?”
“As far as I know, yes . ”
It was the last option, and Evelyn sighed for a moment .
“So, is Adrian still… . . ?”
“Yes . He’s still being treated with blood medicine . Thanks to the blood treatment, his condition is currently stable . But I can’t guarantee what will happen to that child if I stop this treatment . “
It wasn’t like Evelyn doubt him . But Adrian had too many wounds on his body, and the doctor was forced to put his son to sleep using sedatives . So she should have guessed that Adrian’s condition wasn’t normal .
“Can’t we continue the treatment here?”
“It’s possible If only one day,” Philip said calmly .
“Why only one day?”
“That’s…… because I’m doing blood treatment with His Majesty’s blood . And the blood used in this treatment must be immediately drawn and used when it’s still fresh ……”
Evelyn looked at Fabian in amazement, but he looked fine . It meant that Fabian was still giving his blood to Adrian until now, and only Evelyn didn’t know about that .
“That’s all I can tell you . Do you have any more questions?”
Evelyn shook her head, then Philip left the room with courtesy .
“That was the reason,” Fabian said to Evelyn .
“It may take one to two years for the child to heal . Philip concluded, as long as I am an Emperor, the only way is to take the child with me . ”
“……, I understand . ”

Evelyn nodded slowly . Now she understood why he had no other choice . Fabian couldn’t step down from the throne until his death, and Adrian wasn’t able to live without Fabian’s blood .
“You may show him to other doctors in the Felice Kingdom if you want . But, I’ve already treated him with blood medicine in the cave . ”
“No . There’s no other doctor who can beat Sir Philip … … I know that . ”
“Now, the decision is yours . ” Fabian felt he was too mean when he said that to her . With her child’s life at stake, he knew that Evelyn only had one choice . “I’m sorry for this,” he said again .
“Sir Philip said he would be able to heal him completely in about three years . ”
“Yes, that long should be enough . ”
“Your Majesty . ” Evelyn looked up and glared at Fabian . There were countless words filled her eyes . What she was trying to say from now on was a very selfish statement . But she couldn’t shut her mouth . “I……”
“In the worst case, are you trying to say that you want me to allow you to ask for the second divorce in advance?”
Fabian’s voice sounded so serene . In his terms, there was no emotion felt . And Evelyn just nodded her head, unable to speak .
“If there’s a reason, I’ll allow it,” said Fabian . Hearing that, Evelyn looked at him with questioning eyes . “If you promise me that you won’t force me to give you an answer now . ”
“I don’t know what you mean…… . ?”
“It means to give me a chance,” he said .
It was unbelievable . Was Fabian this kind of man? He wanted to be given a chance by a woman who asked for another divorce?
“Don’t you know what I mean by asking Your Majesty now?”
“I know . ” A calm voice . A cold face . But his eyes were swollen . “Still, it’s fine . ” But Fabian didn’t hesitate . “I don’t want to regret it anymore . ”
A reason like that was enough for him .
“Evelyn . ”
Fabian rose from his seat and stood before her . Evelyn then lifted her head and looked up at Fabian .
“Will you marry me again?” Fabian knelt on one knee before Evelyn had time to stop him .
“Your Majesty…!”

This was the second time Fabian begged her for an answer . Back then, and even now, when he proposed to Evelyn .
“If there’s no more reason for you to be by my side, then I’ll allow you to divorce me again . ”
Fabian’s black eye looked straight at Evelyn without shaking . In front of him, there was a woman, who always refused him coldly, abandoned him, and secretly gave birth to his child .
“You can abandon me again . ” Fabian took Evelyn’s empty-hopeless hand . “Give me one more chance… … I want you to give me a chance to turn your mind back . ”
His hand stopped in the air, waiting for Evelyn . “As long as you’re by my side, I won’t wish anything from you anymore . ”
Fabian finally figured out what he wanted to say all this time . It wasn’t about finding reasons why she left him or blaming her or missing her . There was only one thing he wanted to say the most .
Once again… . . Fabian wanted to ask her to come back to his side once again .
“Evelyn Felice . ”
Fabian chanted the sacred spell again .
“Please marry me . ”
It was the only spell that brought brilliant miracles to his life . Now, all that was left was Evelyn’s answer .
As silence broke between the two of them, Fabian’s hand, frozen in the air, trembled lonely . He waited and kept waiting for a time that felt like an eternity .
“Your Majesty, this is foolish . ”
“It’s alright . ”
Fabian smiled faintly . Evelyn just stood there in silence, without holding or shaking his hand . She wasn’t sure if she had done the right thing or if she dared to repeat the cruel things . Then at one point, there was a sparkle shone in her eyes . Evelyn saw something shiny in Fabian’s hand . It was a wedding ring wrapped around his finger . It glistened faintly as if it was waiting for her .
“Really……this is so stupid . ”
That wedding ring was a witness to their oath to each other . It was a spell that bound the two together forever . Without realizing it, Evelyn reached out her hand towards Fabian’s ring . It was an unconscious act . But Fabian didn’t miss that moment and immediately held Evelyn’s hand tightly .
“It’s alright . ”
Evelyn could feel his warm body temperature .
“We become unhappy when we’re together . ”
Evelyn had already seen the future . So, she didn’t want to act rashly and make a premature decision . She didn’t know how long Fabian’s change would last . Most people didn’t change, so expecting that only hurt her .

“Maybe . ” Still, Fabian didn’t give up . “I… … It’s fine for me . Rather than letting you go like this, we still have time . That’s enough . ” He squeezed her hand again, not letting her go . “And maybe, we can avoid the misery . I’ll try to do that . ”
There was no previous-arrogant Fabian . There was no longer a cold man who rarely showed his feelings . What was in front of her now was a man who had yearned for a chance from Evelyn .
“We have a lovely child . ”
For this fact, even Evelyn couldn’t deny it .
“So I’ll hold you as much as I can . I believe that’s happiness . ”
Evelyn still didn’t answer back . But Fabian already knew that Evelyn would accept him for the child . It was all thanks to Adrian’s presence that Fabian now had another chance .
“Now, answer me, Evelyn . ” Fabian looked at her eyes deeply .
How much time had passed? At last, Evelyn nodded her chin a little . And, at that moment, a wide smile spread over Fabian’s lips .
“……, thank you,” Fabian muttered softly . His voice rang so dimly, seemed like it couldn’t be heard, and then disappeared into the silence .
After that, he put his lips on Evelyn’s hand .
‘I swear on the sacred altar . ’
Even if the times were irreversible, the same vows had been made in the past .
‘From this moment on, the two will become one . ’
The wedding vow that they swore at each other, a wedding ring they shared with a prayer to bind them both forever, and the warmth of their hands touching each other .
‘We will live forever as each other’s . ’
Both were thinking of the same moment .
‘The bond between the two now will never be broken, even if you two are now apart . ’
The promises that they had failed to keep a useless oath .
‘When the darkness falls, we will always return to each other… . . ’
But the vow was still not over .
‘… . . Even if the end of the world comes . Forever . ’
So, the second proposal was dyed to their heart .
