Evelyn had a delicate appearance, but she was also bolder than anyone else. She was always calm when she encountered the Empress and the noisy noble ladies, but at the same time, she was a woman who was shocked by only a small bug.

Fabian believed that Evelyns proud appearance was a perfect match for the Empress. But It turned out was a wrong idea.

Why does that stubborn King look weird?

A little while ago, Arthurs eyes, which were staring straight at him, overlapped with Evelyns firm eyes, who was seeking a divorce. Well, thats a natural thing because its not easy for him when his daughter asked for a divorce.

Duke of Akshire.

The Duke stared straight at Fabian when he knelt down to show his obedience. Clearly, Fabian could sense that the Duke did not want to be ruled by the Emperor.

Interesting

Fabian was rarely hostile to other people. As the Emperor, It was rare for him to hate someone because it was easier to get that person out of sight before he had an enmity.

Serus, Does Akshire correctly follow the laws of the Empire?

In truth, Fabian felt that the question was useless, and he had no intention of finding out about it. Still, from the Dukes attitude, Akshires family was clearly not on the Empires side.

Theres nothing special on the surface. Now, the Duke s father was powerful enough when he served in the Imperial Parliament. Your majesty must be remembered him.

Ah

Fabian realized then why the Duke of Akshire was so unfamiliar. It was because the Duke of Akshire, whom Fabian knew was an old man, but the Duke he had met this time was still young.

Did he already inherited the title?

Yes, I heard so.

With the power of Akshire, the Duchesss family must be considerable.

The Duchess has already passed away.

What Serus was talking about was Liams mother.

There must be a new duchess now.

Sir Liam doesnt have a wife yet.

Why? Fabians eyes frowned.

Because hes single.

It was a ridiculous question, but Serus answered it carefully.

Even though a man was divorced from his wife, he wouldnt be happy to see that his ex-wife went to another mans house.

As expected, Fabians face became grim.

Thats right.. Fabian muttered in a low voice.

The displeasure gradually turned into a dark, wave-like colour, and dyed Fabians heart. It was unusual for him to lose his composure.

Thats right

Fabian, who was speechless, sprang to his feet.

Your Majesty?

Serus was startled to catch up with Fabian s quick steps.

Where are you going?

As I told the King earlier, theres a lack of information about the Wyverns attack. said Fabian with a blatant smile.

Ill have to listen to the Duke of Akshire.

Ill call him right away, .

No. Ill go myself. We cant keep disturbing the King of another country.

This wasnt the usual Fabian, but Serus just guessed his masters intentions in his mind.

Ill prepare now.

Even though Serus answered the question like that, his face was fuzzy. It was difficult to judge that their sudden departure to the Duke of Akshire was the right thing to do or not. No, to be frank, it wasnt right. It might have created a problem, but Serus wasnt in a position to dare to say it.

Just do it. Ill be leaving soon.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Serus had no choice because he had to follow all the orders made by Fabian.

Rebecca was happy to meet her at the Dukes door.

As soon as they saw each other, they recalled the mess of the Great Festival and thanked each other for their health and safety.

Im glad youre safe.

Rebecca, Even though there was a person who died, Im glad youre safe.

Yes. And the little prince was also safe.

Abubbububu! Adrian, who was always brave, intervened between the two to show his presence.

The prince asked us to go in.

Yeah. Evelyn smiled a little shyly and hugged Adrian.

The Dukes residence was decorated in an antique style. It was beautifully crafted as if it showed a long family history. It was a place where she could feel the comfort and beauty of the Felice Kingdom.

The princess always carries the prince around.

Did I?

Yeah, arent you tired? Its usually carried around by a nanny.

Of course, there were many maids in the Felice Kingdom. But when she woke up, Evelyn always hugged Adrian first.

Its because I like him.

Evelyn looked at Adrian with a look of beauty and said. Rebecca felt envious for nothing when she saw it. She thought that her younger brother was a terrible being, but seeing Adrian made her greedy.

whenever I see the prince, I wish I had a younger brother.

You have, Sir Liam.

Not such a big and terrible thing, but a cute little brother like Prince Adrian.

Rebecca sighed, and Evelyn grinned at her.

Thats impossible. Theres no other child in the world whos as cute as Adrian!

Thats because he inherited Arthur and Miriams genetics, and Evelyns gene was decent as well.

But Prince Adrian, I need you to give me the princess today.

Rebecca laughed with Evelyn.

Well, lets in. Princess, Ive been waiting for you to come here.

Yes. But what?

While the prince is having milk and baby food and sleeping soundly, we are going to have a glass of champagne.

Evelyn blinked. She never knew there was such a plan.

Emma, take care of the prince!

Yes, my Lady.

The maid who took Adrian from Evelyn in an instant was quite adept.

Oh, Rebecca, I dont have to drink the champagne.

Evelyns last drink was before she got married. In other words, it was a long time ago. And she hadnt been drunk since she had Adrian.

Princess. You know what? The Marchioness of Satine came here on the Great Festival.

What? Evelyns face hardened at that moment.

She came with Countess Hernia.

What!

Evelyn could not forget her past grudge even though she was divorced,

Only

But fortunately, there was my close friend seat beside them, so I saw and heard everything. said Rebecca, her voice sounded excited.

Princess, would you like me to share this story with you?

No answer was needed.

Rebecca, please give me white wine.

No, Ive prepared champagne for you.

It seemed that the story that Rebecca had prepared was exciting. Evelyns feet moved like magic by themselves.

For her, there were still a lot of forgotten freedoms.
