There was the fact that two people and a child didn’t know about it in the garden.


    “I like him. Miss Reba is also very smart.”


    “I’m ttered, your Majesty.”


    As soon as Evelyn and Liam left their seats, the people left in the garden seemed like they were plotting for something.


    “Liam is not really patient with the princess but he’s still very warm-hearted.”


    “Well, I know that because I’ve seen him. His father taught him well.”


    Miriam nodded, agreeing with her husband, too.


    “But we’re not supposed to pressure them. Let their feelings grow slowly and naturally.”


    “Yes. That would be great. Lady Reba is here, so it will be fine.”


    The three of them negotiated on the dining table to match them up early. For Liam, it was thanks to Reba knowing her brother’s heart, but not for Evelyn. That woman still hadn’t opened her heart to others and never dreamed about it.


    “Oh, they’reing back.”


    “Everyone stay calm. Hmm!”


    The three pretended to eat as if nothing had happened. Evelyn, who came in, holding Adrian’s hand, saw them and did not notice anything.


    “Where’s Adrian. Come to me, my child….” said Arthur, he was spreading his arms wide.


    Intimate dinners were soon reced with desserts. Only the two people involved didn’t know about it, but it was a very organized family atmosphere.


    ***


    Fabian’s condition wasn’t very good. It wasn’t a disease, but he was in pain because he had a lot of work to do recently.


    Serus had begged to use the carriage, but Fabian denied his request because it was too slow. So he didn’t have a choice and was forced to see Fabian on the horse.


    “When Ie back, the nobles’ face will suffer again, isn’t it?” Fabian said sarcastically.


    “So, I should go ahead and see that face.”


    He pretended to be all right, but he seemed very mindful of the fact that no one was happy with him.


    “I am afraid, Your Majesty, that if you are in a rush, you may harm your health.”


    “Am I a pathetic man who would be sick to death?”


    “No…..”


    Behind Fabian, an elite line of soldiers wearing ck armor followed closely, making the scene look like a battlefield.


    A small child was shocked by sight. It was the Emperor’s parade, and it wasmon for them to be in and out of any vige they went through. But, instead of seeing, the vigers chose to avoid because of fear.


    “I can’t believe it, I’ve been dragging you this far and I haven’t got any evidence, I’m so ashamed of myself.”


    Fabian wasn’t in a good mood since yesterday. Besides, the original purpose of the monster investigation ended badly after they heard that the Wyverns’ bodies had dposed before arriving at the empire.


    “Oh, the notes that you gave me to investigate I haven’t filled them in half yet, so once we go back to the Empire and use the informationwork, we’ll be able to ….”


    “Ah, that. Give it to me.”


    Returned after he gave it to him? Serus hid his confusion and gave the note back. After that, Fabian casually put the note in his pocket.


    “Why don’t you be honest?”


    “What are you talking about?” asked Fabian. It seemed that he was ying innocent.


    “Your Majesty didn’t want to end the marriage…..”


    “Well, it’s over. I thought at first someone was holding onto it.”


    Serus decided to speak a little, saving his words. Even Fabian’s mother, the Empress Dowager, tended not to say a word and mentioned this topic for a long time.


    “Let’s hurry.”


    “Yes, Your Majesty.”


    The ck parade was speeding up. And the man who hid in the grass watched the march was revealed himself a momentter in the darkness.


    “I’m sure the Pope’s predictions aren’t wrong.”


    Fabian had a fishy smile to the satisfaction ofpleting the mission.


    ***


    That night, the Emperor’s party was in chaos with an unknown demon’s appearance when they crossed the mountain.


    “”Why is the Twin Fairy in this ce?”


    ording to reports, this giant butterfly-like demon could only live in high mountainous areas. They never appeared in low mountains like this, which was not their habitat, especially in the spring.


    “Everyone protect your Majesty!”


    “Prioritize the Demon’s siege. Thebat ability is low, but don’t let it spray the spores into the air as it spreads the poison and hurts your head.”


    Fabian epted the “gift” from the Vatican with a fit of cold anger.


    “Your Majesty, run with the carriage. You will be in trouble if you get poisoned!”


    “If anyone heard of it, they would think it’s poisonous. Twin Fairy venom is harmless and only tingles. I won’t entertain the Pope by running away like a rat.”


    An ice-cold smile twisted Fabian’s lips.


    “I don’t have the mercy to give an old man such a pleasure thing.”


    Fabian also drew his own sword.


    One, two … It didn’t take long for the butterfly-like-demons, which first appeared only one or two now transformed into a group. It was obvious that the demons had been intentionally released in this ce.


    “Soldier !! If you capture a living specimen of the demons, you will be rewarded with a great prize!”


    The soldier’s morale rose when Fabian’s voice roared in the sky.


    ***


    The next day, the family of Felice received a gift from the Vatican. Arthur was also confused because it wasmon for the Vatican to collect donations. Still, it was unusual to receive something in reverse.


    “What did the Vatican send you?” Evelyn asked her father.


    “I don’t know. What kind of medicine is this? They said it’s effective against the poison of some monsters.”


    “What? It’s somehow unpleasant. It’s like a sign that after the Wyverns, another monster will appear again.”


    Evelyn had be more honest these days, and she seemed to have returned to her girlhood.


    “Yeah, but it’s not a bad thing, for just in case.”


    “Or maybe they just want to show their sincerity to get donations from us again.”


    “Evelyn.”


    Arthur sighed at his daughter, who had be more vocal.


    “I know, but you don’t have to say this outside.”


    “I don’t give gold to the Vatican because I feel good about doing it. But our Felice Kingdom depends on wealth of trade. To do that, we need a Vatican that spans the entire continent.”


    Arthur was not a dumb king at all. He was, on the contrary, a smart and wise ruler. He made a thorough study of what the Kingdom owned and didn’t have, and made the highest profit to benefit the people.


    “I know your point….”


    asionally abroad, Arthur was often mocked as a money-mad king o a Vatican’s loyal dog. Still, the prosperity of the Kingdom was more important than his reputation. Consequently, in his people’s eyes, Arthur was known as the best King in Felice Kingdom’s history.


    “Maybe the demon has made me nervous, too. After being attacked once, it’s not the same thing as before.”


    Yeah, I’ve never seen a Wyverns that big before, so I’m shocked too, but isn’t it that rare?”


    <span> Only


    Evelyn had the Pope’s suspicious attitude in mind, but she only nodded reluctantly. It was just a glimpse, and the situation was so chaotic that she wasn’t sure what she saw was real.


    Fortunately, her family was safe, so that’s it.


    “But the rest of the day is safe and peacef……..”


    Before Arthur’s words could be finished, the sound of a drum rang across the whole castle.


    “Father!” Evelyn jumped from her seat in surprise.


    “What the hell’s going on?” Arthur also made a serious look on his face.


    “This is the sound of Beacon !”
