Chapter 10 : Lovely Adrian

Evelyn left Fabian in late autumn when the Golden Moose bloomed. Adrian, who was born in the late summer of the following year, had a safe first year. His grandfather, King Arthur, told the public lately that Adrian was born in the winter.

Actually, Adrian was six months old, but officially it was just a month since he was born.

“You’re already strong. Yeah, take it!”

“Father···!”!”

Adrian might fall while walking, but the big room was covered with a soft carpet.

“Come on, come on!”

But it was King Arthur who actually fell down there. He was wielding a toy knife and heating up with Adrian.

“Kid, you were deceived!”

“Hmmp….”

Adrian inflated his cheeks like a ball, as Arthur pretended to give him a knife.

“You were fooled, weren’t you?”

The King’s dignity had long gone. Arthur ‘s face was full of joy when Adrian was playing with him.

“Father! don’t do that too much.”

Evelyn stepped up and tried to stop him, but Arthur snorted with excitement.

” A man must grow up bravely.”

“You’re making fun of my child right now.”

“I’m just playing! It’s an honor for him to play around with the King!”

“But you bully him?”

Evelyn glanced at Arthur, but he didn’t care and stayed behind Adrian’s toy horse. Honestly, the wooden horse, which eyes were decorated with diamonds, was too lavish for a child to play with.

“Let him be, Your father really like him.”

“But, whose child is he…?”

“Ssst, His Majesty will go wild if he hear it.”

Miriam admitted that her husband was on the same level as a child. Once their child Evelyn, was born, Arthur was too young and had many official duties. But he was already in old age once Adrian was born. It was a good time to give grandparents’ pure and endless affection.

“I didn’t know this place would be so lively. Adrian is a real treasure.”

“That’s a relief, but isn’t it too much for the child?” Evelyn said, looking around.

Even his mother, Evelyn, said he only needed what he needed, but Arthur kept being greedy. He juggled the largest living room in the castle into Adrian’s childcare room. He even broke two rooms into one. Otherwise, they couldn’t afford to keep all the childcare products.

“Especially, I think it’s a little bit too much to give jewelry as a child’s toy. It’s too early.”

“Well, that’sure.”

Fortunately, Miriam didn’t rush like Arthur and nodded to Evelyn’s opinion.

“Perhaps I should tell them to put soft pearls in the slide that I ordered this time, because the child might get scratched on the soft side.”

Evelyn was embarrassed and looked back at her mother, but Miriam was already striking her hand against the wall. Her way of expression was different, and Miriam was as clumsy as Arthur.

“My God, Adrian doesn’t need pearls. He’s still a baby.”

“So how about black pearls, then? Awesome, it’ll match with our Adrian’s eyes. I’ll ask them to get the black pearl from the North Sea right away.”

Evelyn closed her mouth and smiled. It was too much to stop her parents, who had already been hooked on Adrian. Even Evelyn, their own child, was jealous sometimes, so she said it all.

“Baba,baba,····.”

When she looked at Adrian ‘s back, who walked well, Evelyn became unconsciously focused. Adrian was fearless enough to walk on his tiny feet, and Arthur’s beard was the target of his mischief.

“Baba, baba.”

“Yes, call me father!”

Adrian burst into laughter. Arthur handed over a toy knife as if he hadn’t let it go, wiped the sweat off Adrian’s forehead, and smiled proudly.

“Look, I play the best with him, so he’s got to call me first.”

“Well, you’re just being silly.”

Miriam kicked her tongue at Arthur. Adrian had already been admitted as King’s son. So naturally, he would call Arthur “Father” as he grew up, but the problem was Evelyn, who could be a little sensitive.

“Ababa, ······.”

“Yes, Father!”

Arthur, who was tactless, encouraged him with excitement, but Adrian laughed excitedly, grabbed the horse’s neck, and stood up. He was walking tottered towards Evelyn.

“Mamama…Mama.”

“Yes? Adrian, are you hungry?”

Evelyn was overwhelmed by his fat cheeks when she held a plump Adrian in her arms. The baby’s smell made her smile. Adrian touched Evelyn, who rubbed his cheek. He always acted cute when he was in a good mood.

“Well father, I think I won again today.”

“······No, I just need to play more with him! he was just about to say, “father,” to me.”

“Hmm.” Evelyn hugged Adrian on purpose as if she were teasing Arthur.

“Adrian, what? Ah… do you want to take a nap with your mother?”

She heard that Arthur grumbled. He was always eager, but he couldn’t beat his biological mother.

“You hear that, Your Majesty? Now go back to your job, it’s time to put the child to sleep.”

“What about you?”

“As a queen, it’s my official duty to look after the royal family, so I’m going to take care of the child with her.” Miriam smiled and went to Evelyn ‘s side to pat Adrian ‘s hair.

“This isn’t fair, I want to take care of him, too.”

“You are the father of this country. You should take care of the people, too.”

“My people, they’re not cute like him.”

He must put aside his personal feelings as a fair and good king. At last, he went to his office with the chief palace. But until the end, he kept looking at Adrian as if he didn’t want to be separated.

“I didn’t know my father had this side.”

“I didn’t know either. I never thought he’d like his grandson more than his daughter.”

In Evelyn’s arms, Adrian shook his hand excitedly, thinking that Evelyn was telling him a story.

“Well, he’s so lovely.”

“Yes. Adrian is so cute and lovely. There’s no baby in this world like him.”

The babies were all the same.

“I wonder if Adrian can call you mother? You’re still young and you’re in the palace. When he grow up, I’ll tell him myself.”

“No, I don’t want to confuse him as a child.” Evelyn had already made up her mind.

“And you two are already great parents. As his “Sister” is enough for me.”

“Still······.”

“Then, Adrian will be my favorite little brother in the world. I can’t give him up.”

Evelyn smiled softly. Miriam finally shook off one of her worries and nodded.

“I don’t care how he calls me. The important things that we’re always together.”

“My daughter has grown up now.”

“You’ve only looked at Adrian, when you’re looking after me?”

Evelyn had a cute grunt. She was such a sweet daughter in Miriam ‘s eyes, no matter how old she was.

“Of course. My daughter is the most valuable. Adrian is second. But for cuteness, Adrian is in first place.”

“You’re just like my father!”

Evelyn burst into laughter and froze Adrian.

“He stole everyone’s heart.”

“Maybe!”

Adrian waved his hand vigorously.

“Yes, I can’t help it because he’s so cute.”

Evelyn kissed her lovely child’s forehead. It’s impressive that Adrian kept flirting with her even though she hugged and kissed him on the face. Sometimes Adrian was so adorable that Evelyn squeezed him so tight and wanted to explode.

“By the way, I want to bring Adrian out on the big festival soon.”

“I hope the weather is good.”

“It’s all right. Adrian is so brave.”

In a second, Adrian, who was full of stomach, laid in the cradle and clenched his fists. The two- mother and daughter looked at the scene lovingly. The two were so close to Adrian that they didn’t give the nanny a chance to raise him.

“There are a lot of festivals this year.”

“All thanks to your father.”

To be exact, it was Arthur who felt so good because of Adrian. Recently, fireworks often embroidered the sky, and the people were enjoying the festive mood on the street.

“Even though, the feast is special. It is a day when the Holy Father comes and blesses Adrian and baptizes him in front of the people.”

It was a great honor to be baptized by the Holy Father.

“No one can point a finger to a child baptized by the Holy Father himself as an illegitimate child.”

“Yes, I’m glad to hear that.”

Considering Adrian’s future, it was a necessary procedure to secure his legitimacy from now on. King Arthur even made a huge donation to invite the Holy Father.

“Now I’ll take care of Adrian, so you should be ready. Go ahead”

The kingdom of Felice did not alienate the princess as a divorcee so that Evelyn would proudly appear before the people on the Great Day.

“Then I’ll take a look at him a little longer.”

” Didn’t you have tea time today?”

“Ah······.”

Evelyn looked down at Adrian with regret. Now she knew what it was like to say that I miss you, even if she watched him.

“Hurry…”

Evelyn had no idea that Miriam now pushed her away, just like Arthur, a little while ago.
