Chapter 62 : Fabian’s Gift

Serus’s skill to handle the hawks was very stable and calm.

“They’re not dangerous because they’re highly trained. Princess, why don’t you join us?”

Evelyn quickly stood by Adrian’s side. Even though the hawks hadn’t yet become adults, they were quite big, and their black feathers were so wide.

“Once the hawk remember their master, they’re a loyal bird that will remember you for life.”

“It’s a good bird.”

“Hawk! Hawk!” Adrian’s face was packed with enthusiasm. Seeing that, Evelyn unwittingly began to covet the black hawk. At first, she thought it was a big, creepy bird, but when she saw it again, it was cute like Adrian.

“What do you think. I directly trained them and their pedigree is considered to be one of the finest in the Empire,” Fabian said.

“Sure, it’s great.”Evelyn smiled peacefully, even though Fabian’s words were full of arrogance as usual. Fabian seemed to be a little flattered by her unexpected response. Still, he was able to bear it, and he looked at Evelyn right away.

“Why do you think I brought this hawk to the Felice Kingdom?”

“As a gift to the little prince?”

Fabian nodded with a faint smile, “This hawk now memorized the skyway from the Empire to this Kingdom. And if they remember you as their master, they will follow you everywhere.”

“You want to give this hawk to me…?”

“Yes. It’s the best way to send the letter faster and safer than sending it back and forth via courier.”

Fabian struggled all day to get this trick. After all, it was possible to send letters using the black eagle because he was the Emperor. Because a trained black hawk was more expensive than the cost of a family’s food for a year.

“But it’s too much for me…” As usual, Evelyn’s eyes were trying to say no, but Adrian already looked so happy.

“It’s too much, but I’ll gladly accept it.”

Fabian’s lips lifted in satisfaction after Evelyn finally accepted his gift.

“Adrian, His Majesty gave a hawk as a gift to the Felice Kingdom.”

Evelyn thought it would be fine for Adrian to say hello for a while since it was unnatural for the Prince to leave without greeting the Emperor.

“Hawk! hawk, live here?”

“Yes Adrian, the hawk will live together with us now.”

Adrian walked very well while holding Evelyn’s hand. But somehow, Fabian felt empty whenever he saw the two of them.

“Abulin….Hawk!” Adrian showed his innocent and laughed with joy. At the same time, Evelyn’s cheeks also blushed with happiness. Fabian, who watched the scene, approached them with jealousy for no reason.

“Well, little prince, this hawk was given by me.”

“Abulin, Hawk!”

“It’s Me.” Fabian pointed his finger at himself. He wondered if he had to keep his eye level with the child, but he felt that something was wrong. But suddenly, Evelyn hugged Adrian for fear of a fuss.

In the meantime, Adrian’s mouth kept talking nonstop, “Hawk…like, Abulin.”

“So what about me?” Fabian looked straight at Adrian, who was hugged by Evelyn and pointed to himself. He bowed down his body to match Adrian’s eye level.

“Your Majesty, the Prince is still young…..”

“I guess that’s all you need to say, huh?”

Evelyn was unable to refute his words.

“It’s ‘Me’.” Fabian continued to talk, but suddenly Adrian turned his attention to Fabian. It was only now that he realized what Fabian’s hand gestures meant.

“Me…”

Everyone in the garden, except for Adrian, opened their eyes.

“Me, give hawk?”

“I apologize, Your Majesty. I’m going to take the Prince with me.”

“Me, hug me!”

Evelyn thought like a cold sweat was flowing down her back. At this moment, Adrian, who had never created a mess, unexpectedly made the atmosphere of the palace garden tense.

“The title is a mess. ‘Me’ is the word I use, and you shouldn’t say it” Fabian was very earnest in replying to the child.

“Mess!”

But it seemed that Adrian always repeated Fabian’s word. Adrian laughed and looked at him as if his word was funny.

“Me, mess!”

“Huh?”

“Me is a mess !!

At this point, Evelyn had no choice but to shut up Adrian’s mouth.”Excuse me because the Prince is still young. Please forgive him generously, Your Majesty.”

In fact, Fabian hated the noisy and rude person the most. And now Adrian was both. But there was no displeasure in his face. Instead, with a faint smile on his face, Fabian watched Adrian in Evelyn’s arms as if he saw something unusual.

“With this hawk, you can exchange letters with me.”

“Your Majesty, our ties have already been broken , so it’s meaningless even if we exchange a letters.”

“Then I will take this hawk and not forgive the prince’s rudeness.” said Fabian calmly. “I decided not to care about being shameful.” There was sincerity in his expression as he said that.

It seemed that he was already used to Evelyn’s reaction. Somehow, his attitude was very childish, and Evelyn had never seen Fabian act like this when they were living together. Although he said it casually with a laugh, for some reason, Evelyn didn’t hate it.

“Thank you so much for the hawk …”

“You’ll take one. And the rest will fly in order, so you’ll see it later.”

Evelyn bent her knee to say goodbye. Fabian stayed in the garden the whole time until her back disappeared. The black hawk, which was left alone and separated from his brothers, cried a few times in the cage because he was lonely.

“The more you rush, the longer it takes. The longest way round is the shortest way home. Slow and steady wins the race.”

Fabian remembered that proverb. If the other person felt pressure in a face-to-face conversation, you could slowly resolve it with letters. It’s one of the things he had learned in the Empire. And there was no objection at all from the opponent when Fabian used this method.

“By the way, he’s a cute Prince. How old is he now?” asked Fabian as if he were dealing with other creatures. Initially, he hated noisy children, but for him, Adrian felt strange rather than displeasing. ” If he have more than ten teeth, he must be over a year old, why don’t you go and ask the maid?”

“Yes.”

Fabian buried his imagination in the depths of his heart. For a moment, he wanted to recall the scene of a person standing quietly alone as a family, because he didn’t want anyone to see his weak heart.

So the Emperor fulfilled his wishes and returned to the Empire in a lonely way. The little Prince grew up day by day, and the rich atmosphere of the southern continent remained as the trade routes problem and crop disasters passed safely.

“Hawk! Hawk!”

Now every morning, Evelyn woke up with the sound of Adrian calling her a hawk. By the time she got used to it, she felt Adrian’s voice grew louder than usual.

“Hawk! Long time no see!”

The third hawk, taken by Fabian, flew safely into the Felice Kingdom with a letter. Evelyn unwittingly stood up in her pajamas and received the letter.

When the seal was ripped off, Fabian’s uniquely elegant and strong handwriting filled the white paper.

[The Empire is really peaceful. It’s the same with me. This hawk has a noble bloodline and has been trained by the Empire, so he’ll certainly find his destination well. I’m working on public relations every day after I’m back.]

It really was Fabian’s letter. Evelyn thought it was hilarious when she imagined he was struggling and spent his time writing this letter.

[I wonder if the ten-toothed Prince’s etiquette education is going well. Teach him that the black hawk is a precious treasure of the Empire, so it’s important to take good care of it.]

She couldn’t just laugh at this part. Even now, Evelyn felt heavy on her shoulders when she saw Adrian so excited to see the hawk beside her.

[Don’t leave the palace, as the demons always appear in the surrounding area. Also, I would like to ask you not to trust the Vatican too much. While it will definitely read politically, this is the advice I offer you as a man named Fabian, not the Emperor.]

Fabian seemed to have changed a little.

[Evelyn, I hope you’re always healthy, and don’t lose your smile. With heart, From Fabian, ]

Evelyn reread the letter slowly. It was amazing that his handwriting, which used to be cold in the past, now felt warm. Evelyn had a faint smile on her face while looking at his letter.

“Princess, what is it?”

Lily came up and asked when she saw the letter in Evelyn’s hand.

“Oh, it’s a hawk from the Imperial family!” asked Lily.

“Yes, Adrian was excited.”

“Then the letter is… from His Majesty?”

Evelyn nodded. Lily naturally held out her hands politely and bent her knees. Usually, it was common to receive the Emperor’s handwriting like this and burn it immediately after seeing it.

Evelyn knew it best, but it was when she didn’t interested in it. But now, Evelyn was unwittingly hesitating to burn it.

In her heart, Evelyn wanted to keep this letter.

“Oh, here.” However, Evelyn stopped thinking, handed the letter to Lily, and left the room because she didn’t want to see Fabian’s handwriting burnt.

She got used to the tricky etiquette, and she felt dizzy every time she lifted her head.

“With heart, From Fabian.”

Actually, she wanted to keep it because it was the first time Evelyn had heard a phrase like that from him.

But she quietly buried her heart in that secret. Just like Fabian did where she didn’t know.
