Evelyn was originally an outstanding beauty.

The reason she was chosen as the empress was because of her beauty, which was widely spoken outside the royal family. As a result, no one dared to stand up to her if she was determined to look pretty and wear a standout dress.

Thats my daughter.

Yes, shes really beautiful.

Yes, she looks like me.

Her side that resembles me is bigger.

Somehow, Arthur and Miriam became childish since Adrian was born. However, Evelyns appearance now seemed to be beyond praise. After a long time, she was wearing a colorful dress, and she unleashed her bright blonde hair that sparkled like a jewel.

Ammama? Boo!

Adrian made a strange voice when he saw Evelyn, who was dressed up differently than usual. And Miriam wrapped Adrian in white cloth and put him in the baby basket for baptism.

I guess Adrian feels awkward when he saw me.

Well keep him well, so dont worry. All you have to do now is to stand out at todays event and being the star of the banquet.

Evelyns fighting spirit seemed to have been transferred to Miriam.

Todays star is Adrian.

Hey, dont mind. Adrian will always be the star!

Arthur spat out a sour sound and put his face into the baby basket. Evelyn heard Adrians laugh in the basket every time her father was busy playing with him.

Yes, thats right. A brilliant boy. You already have five teeth, youre so energetic because you resemble me.

Miriam and Evelyn shared an embarrassing smile as they faced each other for a moment over such a king.

Today he will be baptized, and when his teeth are done, I will hold another festival.

Evelyn thought to herself that she should stop him.

Your Majesty, lets go now.

Yes. Adrian, stay calm. The royal family must have dignity.

Abu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu!

Finally, the day of the great festival had begun.

The kingdom had gathered thr honored guests together. Adrian was wearing a white suit, and he enjoyed his noble appearance with a silver toy.

The King and The Queen also showed their dignity and wealth at a glance. However, the main character of the day was definitely Evelyn.

She is the finest beauty of the kingdom.

Was the rumor that she was getting divorced because of her weakness a lie?

No way, shes so beautiful. It cant be.

The Emperor will be sorry.

The nobles were busy chatting with the hand-fan, forgetting to cover their faces as they watched the parade of Felices royal family. Adrians basket was carried by King Arthur himself because Evelyn walked confidently, focusing on herself, not on her child for today.

We will hold a holy ceremony to celebrate the blessed Festival of the Felice Kingdom.

Liam, who took the heavy responsibility of the day, shouted out his voice. Then, the trumpet sounded, and pollen continued to scatter from the sky.

May God bless the royal family of Felice, and especially the Holy Fathers Spirit has made this place brighter. May all of us pray for thanksgiving for today s blessing.

When the pipe organ was playing the sacred song, people closed their eyes and pretended to pray. But most of the crowd was more busy peeping Evelyns beauty with her eyes closed.

Rebecca smiled proudly at her job as she looked at Evelyn from the very back seat of the royal family. She wasnt drooping in her splendor and beauty, as the crowd was chatting about her.

Then I would ask the Holy Father for his holy words.

With the help of the young priests, the Holy Father pulled up the white castle and climbed to the podium.

The nobles rose in unison, but the members of the royal family sat down calmly, emphasizing the dignity of their status. Adrians basket was on the side too.

God bless the faithful who are gathering here.

The old priest looked around the crowd with deep eyes.

Its holy that the faith still shines today on the occasion of the celebration of this great nation. The Kingdom of Felice is a land that has received abundant blessings from the Holy-See for their great faith from generation to generation.

The Vatican priests devotion certainly shone with gold offered by the royal family. At the same time, the nobles stuck their tongues to the royal family, who even brought the Holy Father to bless his illegitimate child. And it was obvious that he was Felices most precious child, so his origin must be valuable.

It is very pleasant and grateful that God has protected the kingdom of Felice and a successor was born.

Like the Holy Fathers declaration, It was precisely what King Arthur wanted, that Adrian was regarded as a legitimate heir of Felice Kingdom, so no one could say that Adrian was an illegitimate child.

The name of the blessed successor is Adrian Felice, whom we have seen here today baptized in the name of the Holy Father, and may there be only glory in his life.

Liam received the basket of Adrian from the King, and it was also the most notable role of the day.

When Liam bent his knee and lifted the basket in front of the Holy Father, the father polished his prayers, sprinkling holy water on Adrian s forehead.

God, please protect Adrian.

Evelyn looked at her son and prayed more earnestly than anyone else.

Instead of being the most noble beings please protect him to be loved and to live a happy life.

It was his mothers heart.

Please give me the strength to protect Adrian.

Evelyn was praying from the bottom of her heart. It wasnt that long since Adrian was born, but, amazingly, she loved her more than the time she spent with him.

I, Holy Father, bless Adrian Felice in the name of the God.

It was an emotional moment when Adrian was safely recognized by the world. Evelyn struggled to hold back her tears.

It was tears of happiness.

The mountains had a lot of steep cliffs. The Felice Kingdoms location, surrounded by rugged mountains, was protected by a sturdy natural fortress.

Among those mountains, there was a place called the Peak of God. It was a precious place where you could see the kingdom and the plaza in the open fields as you climbed to the top.

On the other hand, security in the area was very tight because it was connected to the forest road.

Stop!

In the Black Veil forest, monsters still appeared frequently from time to time. Their appearance in this place was strange because this was the entrance to the forest guarded by fully armed royal guards.

Stop, stop! If you get closer, I will respond by force.

When he saw the two men riding on horseback, the captain of the guards shouted loudly.

Aside from the gateway to the forest, there was another reason why the place had tight security. This place was also the only place where you could clearly see the kingdom from above.

In particular, security had to be tightened to such a big celebration like today.

Get off the horse right now and identify yourself. This is the last warning.

The two men on horseback were wearing black robes, so their faces were hard to see. It seemed that the two had a conversation after they heard the guards warning. Then, one man stood in front of the captain with a quick gesture.

We are the Imperials envoys.

You cant enter the plaze right now, because theres a festival on it.

The Black Veil Forest is also under the Empires authority.

It is a royal order that no one can look down from above until the festival is over.

That man didnt step back and took the emblem out of his hand. It was the symbol of the Black Hawk Knights, the emperors direct group of knights, and no one on the entire continent could refuse that emblem.

There are no demons here. Our Guards are strictly guarding this place, so dont worry.

The captain of the guards turned back, expressing his willingness to refuse. There should be no people looking down over the cliffs on a great holiday when the Holy Father came to bless the Kingdom. Because of this, the guards had already been pulled out of the forest surrounding the kingdom and the plaza.

Thats my order! the Black Hawk man was unlikely to withdraw.

Also, this is like an Emperors edict. Do you dare to disobey the Imperial order?

Thats not it. But today is a special day.

Stay back if youre not a traitor. It wont cause commotion.

The captain of the guard took a moment to consider and then retreated back. Then the man on the horse crossed the forest with his entourage and ran towards the plaza.

The Empire really arrogant.

Why did they come here all the way on a day like this?

Its obvious. said the captain, looking at the backs of the two men.

They must have come to keep an eye on the Vatican. I m worried there will be some bad comments about the Imperial Family again. Now the Emperor is also in the city right next door.

The Vatican had openly criticized the Imperials attitude. Even the Emperor was the most powerful man, but he was unable to control the religion. So, the Vaticans move was a threat to the empire.

Serus. What strategic location is this? Fabian, who was wearing a black robe, asked lowly.

While he was trying to inspect the Black Veil Forest, he listened to Serus advice and ran down a distant road. But when he saw the symbol of Felice Kingdom, somehow, he looked desperate.

This place is called as the Peak of God.

They had built it well on the subject of gold worship.

Serus smiled and handed the telescope to Fabian on the horse.

Today, Felice Kingdom is having a big festival. Thats why they stopped us for sacrilegious to see down here.

Sacrilegious Its a fresh word.

Yes, its impolite to your Majesty.

Only

Fabian lifted the corner of his lips a little, gazing at the unfloding scene below them through the telescope. In fact, this was a strategic place. This spot was like an observation deck to see the Felice Kingdom.

The Vaticans disgusting day is still the same.

Fabian muttered and looked annoyed.

The old man never dies, and how long hes going to live on earth said Fabian.

Fabian was trying to mutter more. Through the telescope, he saw a familiar yet unknown woman.

She was a woman he knew, but she was also a woman he didnt know.

It was Evelyn, who was shining with happiness.
