The autumn wind grazed his cheeks, and Evelyn found herself frozen.

Ah, no, for a moment, I..

David nodded slowly in front of her eyes. You mustve been thinking of something else.

Yes, Im sorry. What did we talk about?

About the suspicious movement of the demons and the Little Prince.

Only then did Evelyn come to her senses and go back to their original conversation. Yes, she was trying to get some advice from the Paladin about Adrian. It was a good chance to speak to him first while he was still in the garden.

You said that on the great festival, the Wyverns seemed to be targeting the prince, didnt you? he said.

Oh, did I tell you that far? ..You may be wrong.

Its up to the person who listened to decide whether its wrong or not.

What?

At the moment, Evelyn blinked at an unexplained feeling of dj vu. She felt like having a conversation like this somewhere, but she didnt remember it.

I understand your worries. But that fact hasnt yet been published by the Vatican. And there is a theory that the demons are attracted to a certain bloodline.

Bloodlines?

Yeah, its a very old myth, but theres a record that says the demons were eager for the blood of the Imperial family before the tragedy happened on this continent in the past.

A Legend like that, almost all of them have the same story. Evelyn pressed her heart in surprise at the words Imperial Family.

Its not a legend; its a reality. Theres still a remnant of the demons on this continent, but since the Empire doesnt trust the Vatican, its just a secret.

She didnt want to judge, but that story was hard to believe for Evelyn.

There are a lot of people who think the Vatican is suspicious.

What David had said wasnt wrong, because Evelyn was one of them. Everyone who heard this kind of story will respond the same way.

Most of the legends of the continent are based on reality. Later, the Empire banned the Vatican because we were considered to be misleading the people. Do you know any legends about the birth of this Empire?

Ive never heard of it since the Empire people have a rational mind.

I see. Unexpectedly, David retreated quickly. If youre concerned about the Prince, why dont we look into it more further?

No theres no need to go that far.

Dont worry too much. The Vatican will protect the Felice Kingdom.

Evelyn nodded. She didnt want Adrian to be the object of attention for no reason. If she was thinking about it again, it was a little weird. Why did she suddenly talk about something like this with a mysterious guy she just met today? This kind of mistake was different from her normal self.

We can assure you that no demons will attack the Felice Kingdom.

Yes.

The Paladin in front of her appeared more genuine and good than she expected. There was no feeling of discomfort or distrust she had ever felt before.

If you said that Sir David?

Did I tell you my name?

I think so. Evelyn, who was unable to remember the real conversation they had a while ago, only shook her head. But David smiled faintly, realizing that his power was getting weaker.

Whenever you have a hard time, please rely on the Vatican.

Yes. For some reason, the answer seemed to come out on its own. Thank you, Evelyn said, looking at a very friendly young man in front of her, and said.

Well, Ill say goodbye now.

It was a short time, but as Evelyn talked to him, her concerns about the Vatican seemed to vanish. Instead, she now questioned if all the Vatican accusations had been made by the Empire itself.

Looking back, it was also the Vatican that gave back Evelyns freedom.

Did I have a weird thought for a while?

Evelyn talked to herself, and she returned to the Palace.

Strangely enough, Evelyn couldnt sleep. On a night like this, she looked out the window to see if there was a letter from Fabian, but there was no sign of it.

Even though she said that she was annoyed by Fabians letter and that she was so much troubled by it, but deep in her heart, she was always looking forward to it, particularly today.

Princess, are you not sleeping?

Yes..I cant sleep.

Looking at Evelyn, Nora lit a small lamp.

Can I go to the library now?

At this time?

When she tried to say something, Evelyn took the lamp from her hand, Its alright. Ill go quietly.

Nora nodded. She figured that Evelyn might be upset because there was no letter from the Emperor recently.

Evelyn, who had no idea about Noras mind, wore a robe to shield her from the cool night air and went quietly to the library with a lamp.

[Most of the legends of the continent are based on reality. Later, the Empire banned the Vatican because we were considered to be misleading the people. Do you know any legends about the birth of this Empire? ]

On sleepless nights, Davids voice kept ringing on her head. Evelyn had never heard a legend like that in the Empire because it was a ridiculous discussion topic. She would be treated like a fool if she asked a story like that.

It was a legend before Evelyn was born. So she couldnt help but be curious.

I cant believe the demons are after the Imperial family, Evelyn spoke to herself. But it was also true that those words shook her heart. At least she wanted to know about the truth of that legend.

There are so many books in here

Evelyn, who had come to the library, fumbled in the dark and sighed. Maybe she shouldnt have visited this place at night. Because she didnt know where the books that she wasnt interested in were located.

Legend.legend Evelyn, holding the lamp, walked between through the library, and suddenly she saw a book popping out.

The type of gold leaf used for the lamplight shone the book. Looking at the legend-words engraved on the front cover, it was the book Evelyn was looking for. It was all like a nonsense coincidence, but Evelyn didnt doubt it. She immediately took the book as if it possessed her.

Nora felt relieved after she returned to her bedroom. Evelyn then opened the book while leaning on her bed. The illustration behind the cover was so dreamy as a fantasy theme. There was a drawing of the sun and the moon, a continent split into four parts in the past, and there was also a large picture of the tower in the center.

Is this legend happened in the Empire?

When David told her about it, Evelyn was still skeptical and thought it was a fairy tale from the Vatican. In reality, the book was written in-depth about the mythology that started with the birth of the Empire.

It was a tale Fabian would hate if he knew it. Maybe even Fabian, who was an Emperor, grew up without knowing about this legend.

[A King with a sword stained with blood came to the tower, protecting the balance of the world.]
