Chapter 145: The Image Of Him

Even Fabian couldnt say something for a moment and stared at her.

Your Majesty, I remember. said Evelyn with her voice ripped apart. ThenThen From the beginning I knew him

She was still looked absentminded, but her memories were still there and stored in her head.

Evelyn, you need to calm down and take a rest first.

No. Evelyn pushed Fabians arms. It was difficult to stand up straight, but she couldnt collapse right now.

Your Majesty. Evelyns voice sounded grave, and Fabian knew he couldnt hinder her.

Hes rightAdrianhes a life that shouldnt exist.

What nonsense Evelyn, Adrian is our child.

Now. But that time, he wasnt.

Now, Fabians eyes had become more and more puzzled. Then, who is he?

Not now, but in the past. When everything was going wrong. Evelyn put her memory fragments together and spat out word by word. I understand what David said. I get it now. Evelyn was staggering and rose her body.

Adrian, what about Adrian?

David was a real guardian of the tower. He could get rid of a child who wasnt supposed to be born in this world. Those eerie thoughts froze Evelyns hand.

Adrian might really disappear.

Evelyn said it with a serious voice and a severe face. Fabian couldnt figure out the situation he was facing at this moment. So he walked to Adrians bed as fast as he could, then he hugged Evelyn in his arms.

Miriam looked at her with a terrible expression and Arthur, too, couldnt sit for a while after he heard it. Same with Philip, he almost dropped his hand.

Adrian? Evelyn, who had already felt despair, stumbled and walked to the place where Adrian was lying.

Fabian glanced at Philip, but that doctor just lowered his head. The childs body was limply bound to the bed, but there was no sign of life. His tiny body was turning blue, and he gradually lost his bodys temperature after the fever had vanished.

Adrian.

That quiet voice of a mother contained countless despair as if she would lose her child forever.

He said that he was trying to fix the world So my child .

Evelyns face looked distorted. She was feeling like a dumb person. When she gave birth to Adrian, she shouldnt have expected anything else, but instead, she went back to Fabian foolishly.

She didnt regret loving Fabian, but if Adrian had to die from her selfish decision, she had no reason to live any longer.

Knights. In any case, force Duke Metis to confess. If he still doesnt want to talk, just wait. Its up to you what method you use. Find the evidence!

Yes, Your Majesty.

The Black Hawk Knights quickly disappeared after they were commanded by Fabian. He knew that his actions might have provoked a war between factions. Still, now only Evelyn and Adrian were visible to his eyes.

Evelyn, now tell me? Fixing the world. What does that have to do with Adrian?

Time Magic It really happened. And before that, magic Adrian Adrian was never born .

The rest of the people in the room couldnt understand it, but Fabian looked severe. Just for that reason?

Evelyn shook her head with a wretched face.

Just to prevent me from becoming the tyrant Emperor?

Fabian was speaking about something he never wanted to reveal. Even though it was only a possibility, it wasnt the current Fabian; however, he could not deny that he had the emperor lineage carrying out the massacre.

Fabian, Ive died.

Her death was the trigger behind the destruction of the continent. At that time, Fabian became insane after he had lost his life companion.

It cant be.

Yesit was in the past. But nowYour Majesty, if you have to choose between Adrian and me, please save Adrian. Please, I beg you.

I wont give up both of you. So please, dont say such a thing.

How exactly should it be? Evelyn had her child who died after experiencing one death. She was so overwhelmed with happiness that she didnt know where to go. She even forgot what for she was turning back the time.

Your Majesty, release David. Please bring him here.

Thats.

It has to be him. Only he can turn all back!

All David wanted was to stop Fabians madness, and the trigger was her life. So Evelyn thought that everything would go back to where it was if she gave up her life. Even though Evelyn lost everything, it was the only way to save Adrian.

Fabian sighed, Serus.do what Evelyn said. He gave an order as if he had succumbed. You can also cut off Duke Metis fingers one by one.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Arthur and Miriam took a deep breath, watching the sleeping Adrian. Fabian turned to Philip, then. How much time do we have left?

Philip made a guilty face, I cant tell, but when the next seizure comes.

Miriam stepped forward, Your Majesty, when we looked after him, the seizures happened every hour. she said. And excuse me for a moment.

Evelyns back watching Adrian die looked frail. Miriam grabbed her shoulder, then raised her hand and slapped Evelyns face without hesitation.

Even Fabian was startled by Miriams sudden action.

Get a hold of yourself. Youre a mother. Its not a time for a weak gibberish!

Evelyn felt a pain in her cheek. The pain eased her mind slightly, and she saw her mother standing firmly in front of her.

The only one who can save Adrian is his mother. So dont be weak and stand upright.

Evelyn quickly corrected her distracted posture, feeling that she could walk adequately after hearing her mothers scolding.

Go!

We dont know what you are thinking, but we know that no one in the world loves Adrian more than you. So, straighten your back, be strong, and save him.

I will! I will save him.

Although Evelyn didnt have the chance to thank her mother, all her feelings seemed to have reached her.

After that, everyone began to move in a hurry. Serus dragged the fainted David. He poured cold water on him and beat him to wake him up.

Liam, who was in charge of interrogating Duke Metis, nearly cut off one of the Dukes fingers before he eventually got his testimony.

Duke Metis said, the Paladin asked for a map of the Empress Palace. It looks like the map indicates the position of the attic room, which is right above this palace.

Hearing Liams words, Evelyn felt that she could recall her memories in more detail, Yes.that place.

And regarding the star-flower poison, the Empress seems to know nothing.

Philip swept down his chest. Luckily he hadnt done the detoxification process yet. Otherwise, Adrians small body couldnt last right now.

The only thing left is him.

Serus hauled David like a rag and put him in front of Fabian and Evelyn.

Evelyn strode up to him before Fabian could stop her and slap him hard on the cheek. Much harder than her mothers. Her body couldnt even walk properly, so Its puzzling to think where her strength came from.

Look at me, if you want to balance this damn world.

Davids gaze turned to Evelyn as he realized the seal of her memory seemed to have broken.

I wont let you take my child. Never.

Its too late. Davids answer was also calm as if he had expected it. I still have the power to cast the last magic. The power that wasnt stolen by that stone. The power thats exchanged for the life of the guardian.

Only once, the guardian could use his last magic in exchange for his immortal life.

Your child, who shouldnt exist, will return to nothing. I wont make a mistake this time.

You think Ill let you do that?

Actually, havent you been living your life forgetting everything?

At that moment, Evelyn lost for words.

Ill turn back the time once again, this time, your child will lose his life during the Devil Eyes attack. All you need to do is hate each other without remembering anything. Its very twisted, but later, you will get the answer.

David said without any emotion in his purple eyes. There were only conviction and unknown quaint. If what he said was true, surely everything would go his way.

If Adrian died because of Fabian who insisted on taking him away. They would never see each other again and blamed each other for the rest of their lives.

I already knew it would turn out like that. In no time, Evelyn suddenly pulled out a sword from Fabians waist and place it on her neck. But your power is not enough. Thats why youve failed so many times.

All that had happened was beyond Davids plan until finally, everything got tangled.

If I kill myself here, will you be able to turn back time and erase my present memory?

Davids face hardened at Evelyns words.

Youre too weak.

Evelyn could see that. David was able to gain the power to cast the final magic by risking his own life. However, the Stone of Truth had already sucked a lot of his life energy, so it was hard to tell how much power he had left.

Your power is too weak, let alone in your condition like this Are you sure you can turn everything back?

Evelyns determination now was beyond Fabians control. At least, at this point, she was stronger than him.

What happens if you fail again? Evelyn said, threatening David.

Fabian, if I die here, dont forget your grudge.

Fabian bit his lip hard. He wanted to stop Evelyn right away, but he already promised her, and they had a mutual agreement about David.

My grudge will paint that damn tower with blood. Fabian twisted his lips coldly. Ill show you the madness that flows through my veins.

The darkness within him was enough to kill half the humans of this continent. Fabians escape from his torment ruined the entire continent.

Back then, you told me our purpose was the same, Evelyn remembered what David told her in the past. You said that you turned back time with my despair. Now is our purpose different?

Davids purple eyes subsided calmly as Evelyn began the conversation that only the two of them understood.

It was something that Fabian next to her couldnt grasp the meaning, even though he tried hard to listen to them.

What you wish is the balance of this world, so Ill take my childs life.

Something was missing from Evelyns words, but no one noticed because there were only two people who knew Evelyns despair when she was dying.

Are you really sure of that.?

Yes, if it can save my child. Evelyn was earnest. Her blue eyes told that she was willing even if she had to lose her life.

If our purpose is the same, you can change the way. As I said I just hope you wont fail because youre weak.

Evelyn heaved a deep breath, wetting her lips. First of all, she and David had agreed to do this.

Adrian cant last long. Now we have to think of a way.

Finally, David nodded his head.

Then immediately, Fabian sheathed his sword, imagining something terrible almost happened, and he whispered to Evelyns ear. If you dont want to see me crazy, you have to come back after saving our child.

Evelyn smiled. She looked at Fabian sadly with her bluish eyes.

It was heartbreaking to think that she might never see him again if she could save their child.

So, deeply in her eyes, Evelyn engraved the image of her one and only husband, whom she loved so much.
