It wasn’t a demon that made Rebecca frowned and showing off her dislikes. And at the same time, two foreign men at the Duke of Akshire were chatting while looking at the creature.

“People said the were a magical spirit, but it really seems like that.”

“Yes. Their parents are very smart with great pedigree.”

It was a shame that Rebecca hadn’t arrived at the Duke’s residence yet, but she would have seen such a scene if she had seen Liam spending time with Serus.

“I’ve wanted to see the famous Imperial hawk , and I never thought I would have an opportunity like this.”

A creature that Rebecca feared were birds. She hated that animal than a Demon that regularly appeared these days. But, no matter how great and smart the hawk was. Rebecca was much scarier. Because of her, neither Liam nor her father dared to bring a hawk, which was usually said as ‘nobleman’s dream,’ into their residence.

“Can you really use them for hunting?”

“Yes. These are less than a year old. From an early age, you need to train them to come back to your arms b by gradually feeding them meat. And then, later on, they will always return to their owner’s arms.”

“Oh...they’re so clever. They also very good-looking.”

The two men nodded as they looked at the three young hawks. Serus trained the hawk to come back repeatedly with a guard on his arm.

The Empire’s black hawk was really majestic that the Knights using its name. In fact, the hawk had a charm that would make any man fall in love with them.

“The black hawk is really brave and genuinely loyal,” Liam said.

Serus, who was usually quiet, also became more talkative when he talked about his hawk. “Yes, they are. I am most proud that they’re highly intelligent and strong and always return to their master.”

“Except for demons, nothing in the sky is stronger than a black hawk.”

All of a sudden, Liam felt a little sad, “Oh .. I wish I could have one.”

“If you like, you can get a hawk.”

“That’s something even my father, the Duke couldn’t do. My sister hates bird.”

“Oh right, the hawk is dangerous.”

“No... my sister is surprisingly afraid of birds.”

“Isn’t that all right then, because the hawk is docile?”

Liam seemed to be used to Serus’ way of speaking now, but he still couldn’t keep up with his way of thinking. However, Liam sometimes envied his pure and simple thoughts.

“The black hawk is safe, but the other types of hawks are a little dangerous.”

Liam was afraid of Rebecca’s temper, as did his father. It was for his own safety, not because of the dangerous hawk.

“But now that it has been brought here by His Majesty. It’s all right to enjoy it for the first time in a while.”

Liam’s sparkling green eyes followed the hawk’s movement with curiosity. He was addicted when he looked at them with his own eyes because he always wanted to have that smart bird. Indeed a hawk was the romance of every continental man.

“When will the hunt start?” Liam hoped anyway to enjoy the luxury time of watching the hawks hunting because he was in charge of the troubled Emperor.

“Are you talking about hunting?”

“Didn’t His Majesty bring a hawk to hunt?”

“No.”

Liam’s eyes, hearing that, were dim with disappointment,”......then?”

“A hawk can fly faster over long distances, because they’re smarter and stronger .”

“What about hunting, then?”

“We took them purposefully to show them the way to the Felice Kingdom.”

Liam saw the hawk sitting on Serus’ arm with his cool claws, and everything he saw looked a little sad as he really wanted to see the hawks hunting like that. That’s why he only realized Serus’ important words that came later.

“······But, what do you mean by the ‘way’ to the Felice kingdom?”

“It was His Majesty’s order.”

Liam’s face hardened slightly. Fabian’s existence alone already threatened him. “For what?”

“I don’t know because I didn’t ask.”

That careless answer was really a Serus’s style. But Liam had a point somewhere, but he couldn’t say it. It seemed that Fabian’s intention was to train the hawk and used them as a tool to communicate with Evelyn in the future.

“But thanks to your help, I will be able to train the hawks easily and return to the Empire faster.”

Whatever the Emperor said, if it could fast get Fabian back to the Empire, Liam would help. But now Serus was calling for help to train his hawks, and for being too short-minded, Liam blamed himself.

He was too fascinated by those black hawks for a moment and overlooked the Emperor’s secret motives. But who would have thought the postman who would give Fabian letters to Evelyn would be that cute animal?

“Sir Serus, is .. .. those hawks may suddenly run away.”

“What? That is not feasible for our black hawk. They’re trained together, and they’re smart.”

“No, there’s maybe a possibility. Someone might fall for them and kidnap them.”

Liam had enough thoughts of becoming the kidnapper. Liam intended to give a little threat, but unfortunately, it didn’t work with Serus.

“Haha, I didn’t know that the Duke actually likes to joke.”

“Is that right? Haha.”

When Rebecca arrived, a genuinely terrible sight was unfolding before her eyes.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh..”

Rebecca screamed so loudly as if she had just lost her mind. Nothing was more disgusting than the sight of three birds spreading their wings at the Duke’s residence. And Seeing Rebecca’s reaction, Serus and Liam just smiled at each other.

--------

Fabian grinned faintly when he eventually learned that the hawks had ended their training. It was good news that made his mood a little brighter after spending his daydreaming time alone in the room where the Duke’s residence was arranged for him.

“Deliver the news about my visit to the Felice Palace. When I get the answer, I’ll go there.”

Serus looked puzzled at Fabian’s words, but he didn’t refute it. Actually, he didn’t understand why Fabian suddenly asking for permission, but Fabian must have a reason for it.

“Your Majesty, what if I don’t get an answer?”

Fabian frowned at Serus’ honest question.

“.....I’ll come.”

“Yes.”

“Besides, what happened earlier to the Duke?”

“Oh, it was Lady Akshire.”

Fabian’s face became serious. He knew really well about the bad relationship between Perth and Akshire. However, he didn’t dare to show Serus his displeasure, as he was his best friend.

“Anything happened? Did they treat the son of Perth unpleasantly?”

Serus was concerned for a moment, but he concluded that it wasn’t an unpleasant act that Rebecca did to him.

Well, there was no way Serus would honestly say that Rebecca was so mad at him. That she spit out the harsh words, poured wine over his face, then fled the Duke’s residence and returned only today.

“It’s not that, however .. after a couple of days, Lady Akshire just came back. But in the middle .... she passed out for a moment.”

“Really?”

As if they already knew each other, the two men nodded casually. Well, you didn’t need to disclose stuff that wasn’t really important.

“And it turns out that Lady Akshire has a close relationship with Princess Evelyn.”

“I believe so.”

“Then, I wish I could ask Lady Akshire to tell the Princess that I’ll go.”

Honestly, for Fabian, that was a very risky path. In the first place, behaving based on someone’s wit was difficult for him. Serus couldn’t believe it either, so he just looked around. “I’ll ask her when Lady Akshire wakes up.”

“All right...”

No one cared about why Rebecca fainted. Yet it was their heartfelt wish for Rebecca to wake up as soon as possible.

--------

When she woke up, the only thing Rebecca seemed to remember was the fact that the night was down. Liam, who learned the news that his sister had regained consciousness, fled instantly because he was afraid and asked Serus to take his place to meet Rebecca.

After seeing the frightening sight she had just seen, Rebecca was shivering with fear. Still, afterward, she managed to calm down.

“Okay, tell him that I’ll meet him in the garden.”

A moment later, when Rebecca arrived in the garden, Serus, who was waiting for her, gave a simple example. His attitude looked casual, as though nothing between them had happened.

“Sir Serus, I heard you were looking to see me?”

“Yes.”

Rebecca paused, looking up at Serus. At first, she thought slightly that he was her ex-husband’s brother, but when she looked closely, except for his amber-colored eyes, he had no resemblance to his brother.

“Yes.... I thought I should see you too.”historical

“Yes?”

“As I can see, you’re a different person from your brother.”

“Yes, but I don’t know what it has to do with the current situation.”

“Yes , I didn’t expect a lot of understanding from you anyway.”

Rebecca nodded awkwardly. Serus, the second son of the Perth family. This man was good enough to become the Emperor’s closest aide, but he was a man who was lacking somewhere. Rebecca felt quite at ease with Serus after she thought so. “It’s all right, it isn’t wrong not to know.”

“Yes?” Serus blinked his eyes again, and Rebecca kindly nodded several times.

“First of all, let ‘s start with why you asked me to meet. Even though I know that was requested by His Majesty.”

“Yes, Your Majesty asked me if you can convey the schedule of his visit to the Felice Kingdom. Because...”

“Because I have a close relationship with Princess Evelyn?”

“Yes, he wants a quick answer.”

“Yes, I knew that. I can’t decide the Princess’ answer, but I can deliver it.”

“Thank you. Then...” Serus gave a light example. It meant that he would withdraw because his business was over.

“Wait. I really need to say something.” Rebecca cleared up her mind and pulled herself together. She knew that it wasn’t that Serus ignored her, but because he didn’t know and lacked in a sense.

“At that time .. I did something awful to you at the dinner table ....”

“No, everything you said was right. I’m fine.”

“But I poured a wine on your face.” Rebecca honestly said.

“Ah, wasn’t that because I carelessly said your name with my mouth?”

‘Damn, should I tell you something like this?’

Rebecca was frustrated, but it was obviously her fault.

“No, I only projected my ill feelings towards my ex-husband on you, and about ‘calling my name’ was just an excuse.”

“Ah .... It was an excuse. So when you said that I didn’t have any emotions , feelings, ideas, or pride?”

When she heard the same bad words she had said to him, her face was burning. Rebecca frowned, and with a stern look, she gazed upon Serus.

“I said that because I was carried away by emotion. Not because of you but because of my ex-husband.”

“So, you said it all to my brother, didn’t you? I agreed with you , so it’s okay.”

“What? No.. I am trying to apologize. I need an apology from you.”

“But I agree with what you said to my brother.”

Rebecca felt her chest was stuffy for some reason, “But I poured wine at you because of your brother!”

“I’m used to it. It’s okay.”

“It’s not okay! It’s not okay at all!” Rebecca suddenly strode up to Serus. “This is absolutely not a good thing. I want to apologize properly!”

“Yes?”

“Sit down!” Rebecca sat first on the bench and pointed to her side with her finger. Serus felt heavy pressure, but he couldn’t help it and sit next to her.

“I’ll tell you step by step from the beginning, so listen carefully. If you don’t know, ask questions in the middle.”

“Ah yes....”

In fact, it was a situation that Serus couldn’t understand the most. But he couldn’t even ask that question.

So that night, in the moonlight, Serus was taught why he should be angry and why Rebecca should apologize to him.
