I’ll Quit as The Empress
Chapter 27: Idle th

Perhaps because of his great embarrassment, Fabian turned his back and left the room right away.

His vague and idle thoughts were totally different from reality. After he heard it clearly from Evelyn, the person involved, it the fact was quite a shock, to be honest.

“Your Majesty, are you going back to the Empire?”

“Yes.”

“That’s a wise choice. Spring rains are frequent in this area, so we’d better leave tomorrow.”

Fabian nodded his head under low pressure.

“Why … was it uncomfortable to talk to the former empress?”

“Is divorce always that uncomfortable?”

Even the most brilliant Emperor, like Fabian, was clueless about human relations. Not only clumsy, Fabian was helpless too, and he had no concept of relationship at all.

His mother-Empress only gave birth to Fabian and made it an achievement. Then, it was the Imperial nanny who actually breastfed Fabian, and it was Serus’s parents who raised him.

“In my brother’s case, I think so.”

“Hmm…That was normal, then.”

Fabian nodded. No one was particularly meaningful to him. The Empress Dowager was a woman who gave birth to him. The nobles who raised him trained Fabian strictly just to show loyalty to the Imperial Family.

Fabian never felt like he needed anything else.

“Somehow, I felt it was harder than do official duties.”

Serus had no idea what kind of change of heart had happened to Fabian, but he simply nodded together. In any case, Fabian had no one else to live with since he was born.

“Human relations are exhausting.”

“That’s right.”

“I should go back and focus on my official duties. Before the end of the year, I’m going to show the world that disgusting Pope’s true face.”

Fabian’s idea made a lot of sense. If someone felt uncomfortable even when they were living alone, they could at least play their part in a useful place. As long as he was born as an emperor, that fate would have been inevitable.

“Oh, I have one thing to check.”

“Please give your order.”

Unlike usual, Fabian handed a piece of paper with something written from the inside pocket of his jacket.

“Check it up.”

“Yes.”

He had to obey the Emperor’s orders, so Serus put it in without even checking the contents of the paper.

The two women who woke up late were drinking tea, which was said to be good for hangovers, with their faces down. And Liam sat between them and occasionally looked at his sister with an annoying expression.

“Sometimes you drink too much and you can’t control yourself.”

Rebecca only drank tea, as if she couldn’t hear it, ignoring Liam’s nagging.

“At the moment, the Princess almost got caught by the Emperor.”

This time Evelyn shut her mouth. She didn’t know how much she drank, but her head hurts a lot when she woke up in the morning.

“And there’s the most burdensome part.”

Liam’s green eyes stared anxiously at Evelyn.

“His Majesty King Felice and the Queen, almost every few hours, asked for Prince Adrian.” He sighed.

“They asked me about Prince Adrian, starting from handwritten letters, and they even sent a royal courier.”

The king and his wife were eager to see their grandson, and Liam was much troubled by the baby.

“The good news is that the Emperor said he was going back to the Empire right after yesterday’s talk with the Princess.”

“Wow! So that’s good? Emma, ​​this wine…” shouted Rebecca, she was delighted.

“Emma, no! You don’t have to obey the arbitrary demands of my sister.”

The siblings stared at each other as if they were eating each other.

“If the Emperor had already left I will go back to the palace, too.”

“What? you don’t want to enjoy this time?”

“But if I hold Adrian too long, I don’t know what my father’s going to do.”

It was right, and Liam, the biggest victim, already had a pale face.

“Or, would you like Rebecca to go to the palace with you?”

“Oh, that’s a good idea, too.”

“Sis, please take care of yourself.”

Only

Rebecca lightly ignored her brother’s advice and stood up.

“I’ll tell Emma to pack.”

Evelyn nodded when she saw Rebecca’s bright smile.

“Well, that’s enough.”

After a while, Rebecca showed up with her maid. So the two women were excited again and climbed into the carriage with Adrian. Liam said good-bye to the two with a relaxed smile.

He hoped he could talk to Evelyn, but this time the timing was very bad.

It seemed like the world around Evelyn was now getting loud, but maybe it was because of the atmosphere. Immediately, the logical Liam swept off his strange thought and simply took it as a feeling.
