Chapter 112
Annette's sniffles stopped as she buried her face in Lapel's chest. Somehow, I really wanted to hear what he said next, but on the other hand, I just wanted to avoid it. Strangely, her hands were shaking and her heart was beating faster. This was not a strange phenomenon that only happened to Annette.
The lapel's chest her against hers trembled a little with each breath she took. His body temperature rose and was now as hot as a pebble heated by a campfire. The intense beating of her heart her, thumping as if she were running, almost rang in Annette's eardrums her.
Lapel swallowed his saliva and finally opened his mouth to confess his feelings.
“I've been thinking about it seriously…… I guess my first priority is you.”
Annette, who had stopped crying, looked up at him with wide eyes.Her her eyes her more reddish than usual from her crying her contained lapel.What the hell did he just say?Could it be that he heard something in vain?
The moment our eyes met, Rafel's cold face instantly turned red. He didn't know what to do, he covered his face with one hand and avoided Annette's eyes to her. Five years of her previous life of marriage. The moment she saw that face, Annette involuntarily reached out and grabbed the hand that was covering her face.
“Could you say that again, Lapel? What did you just say…….”
Lapel, who could no longer cover her face her, desperately averted her eyes her. Her face her, which had always been sharp as a well-forged sword, was now flushed red. He insisted on keeping his mouth shut, probably from embarrassment, but a blushing face was already speaking instead of his mouth.
Seeing this, Annette's eyes fell again. He could not believe his eyes or ears her. But the face he saw before his eyes was so sincere that he could n't help but believe it. Looking at him, it seemed as if all my Anxiety that he would not be loved in this life melted away.
Allamand's hallucinations that he would never choose you had already disappeared Lapel, who reached out her hand her and clumsily wiped her Annette's tears her, looked up at her in adoration and whispered to her:
“There was only you. It was always only you The one who was on my side.”
Born of her lowly mother, her body suffered from a deep sense of inferiority. So she turned away and tried to turn away from the thought that such a perfectly flawless woman could not love her. Trying desperately not to reveal her own rotating parts of her.
However, just as human power cannot stop the flooding seawater when the time comes, so was this feeling. It was none other than Annette who tamed him, who was like a wild animal who did not know love. Trust, with infinite patience to herself who shook her hand each time.
In front of that warmth, he had no choice but to knee down. He couldn't trade this precious woman for anything.
“I love you, Annette.”
“Lapel….”
He reached out and gently cared her cheek her her It felt like my heart was tightening because it was so affectionate and precious just to put it in her her eyes her her Lapel begged holding her little hand tightly with her other hand her.
“So please don't leave me, Annette. Stay by my side.”
Rafel vaguely noticed that she was preparing to leave him. The moment she saw the Sacrit guild ring she had found in the jewelry box, she remembered the moment her heart sank. She was even fortunate that her sense of self developed like a beast at this time. She said that if she had left Annette without knowing anything, she herself would have collapsed.
His heart his trembled with anxiety as he met Annette His her two arms her her her tightly wrapped around her her body her she were desperate Blue eyes, spurred by emotion, looked down at Annette as if begging.
“I know what you're worried about. But I can fix it all I will protect you. So don't worry…… Please wait here a little longer.”
Rafel managed to finish her words, clenching his teeth as if suppressing his trembling emotions of her, His voluptuous lips, her, always tightly shut, trembling slightly, The love he realized too late was so devastating that it seemed to burn his entire stomach her.
Annette looked up at Lapel without saying anything. I was confused whether Lafel was saying what he was saying after fully understanding the situation, or whether it was his own misunderstanding of his. Crying or laughing.
“I told you. My number one priority is you. Only you… It's my 'family'. My choice, my family.”
At those words, Annette covered her mouth with reddened eyes.This made it clear that Rafel was also aware of the whole situation.However, he was saying that he had now chosen himself over his father.Although he felt a sense of debt to the king, he did not feel the affection of his blood.
At this, Annette wept for joy, and on the other hand, for sorrow. She was abused by her drug addict mother when she was young and used by her cold-hearted father when she was growing up. I felt sorry for Lapel, and tears flowed incessantly. He couldn't even turn a blind eye to this lonely man.
“Thank you for choosing me, Lapel. You are also my precious family. So I will protect you too.”
Even if the opponent is the king. Annette had a determined look in his eyes her as his tears dripped. Although it would be a tough fight, he was determined to protect Lapel somehow. Whether or not to leave him was a matter for him to think about later. Annette was never one to confuse the importance and priorities of work.
Rafel did n't know about her detailed change of heart Her but she realized it She said that she bought herself a little time That she had succeeded in holding her back
He blamed this woman for everything he did. Because she is unnecessarily pretty and sweet. Because she keeps sharing her body heat with herself, who she does not know the warmth of others, and she takes her own side of her no matter who her opponent is her. Because she keeps bringing me to a warm bedroom while walking in a deep and dark nightmare. A man with a low bloodline and a wayward man like himself…… Because you say it's family.
'So I have no choice but to fall in love.'
Lapel looked down at Annette with her sunken eyes.I remembered the conversation I had with Harold today.He had told Rafel.He said he had to choose between the King and Annette.
Hearing his choice his, Harold laughed out loud. Sometimes children are better than fathers. With a short mutter, he told Rafel everything he knew, as he promised. Annette and prevented her from becoming the Crown Princess, and that he was only looking for an opportunity to press the Bavarian family by fabricating various dukes, and so on.
'And don't forget. Deltium's next sun is only one. But now the moon shines brighter than the sun? So maybe someone wants to shoot the moon down. It would be difficult if there was a solar eclipse where the moon swallowed the sun .'
Harold's advice had bones. Rafel wasn't an idiot either, so I could understand what he meant. Only then did Rapel understand why the king had married Annette to him. The king's bizarre way of speaking, proudly praising himself and putting down Ludwig, was also the same.
No matter what the king did, in the end he intended to use himself to the fullest. So I'll just skip the sweet water and then deal with it. By making a pair with his wife his, Annette. That his judgment in choosing Annette was correct.
'Poor Annette.'
Only now did he know love for the first time, and unfortunately, it was in the disgusting mud that Rafel's love sprouted. Annette was prevented from becoming her crown princess because of her own biological father her, and it was her maternal uncle her , Ben March, who was chosen by her as the tool to frame her. It would be hard enough for her to be married to a man like her, but even at this moment, Annette was dangerous.
Rafel felt deeply guilty and responsible for all of this. Even if he turned against the king, even if she lost everything he had, she had to protect Annette.
Lapel's deep blue eyes shone brightly as he gritted his teeth. It was the desperate look of someone who had something to protect for the first time.

The woman crouched down on one side of the dark dungeon looked like a rat. She looked young with her characteristic plain features, but she did not make a good impression even with empty words. To decorate and her shy attitude her seemed sincere.
The woman bit her thumb nail with an easy face and rolled her eyes. A few hours ago, it had been a normal, peaceful day, but the situation suddenly turned 180 degrees. After she barged into her own room, the writer's attendants dragged her away and locked her in her dungeon. He said that all of this was the name of his master.
'No way…… Did I get caught?'
No, it couldn't have been. Her own medication regimen was perfect. Eucalyptus studied intensive medicine at the Academy of the most prestigious medical societies. She was still in the early stages of her addiction and her symptoms of her were minimal, so there was little chance she would be caught.
Eucalyptus tried to calm her own anxious mind her her.But before she had time to calm down, the door to her dungeon was slid open.She stepped in between them, and she was a stunningly gorgeous beauty.
She had bright blond hair, a delicate face like a doll, and rose-like pink eyes that shone under her lowered eyelashes. Even in this dark dungeon, she shone like a handful of sunlight. Her with a single gesture of hers.
“Stay out. I would like to have a private conversation with my doctor.”
Before long, the door to the dungeon was closed again. Eucalyptus involuntarily clung to her bars and looked at Annette with anxious eyes. Then Annette sat down on the chair behind her bar and looked this way. Looking at herself, her face was as calm and elegant as usual. Eucalyptus, who gained hope, begged in her timid voice of her.
“Madam, what is this all of a sudden? My, did I do anything wrong? Please, please tell me why.
“Reason?”
Annette smiled, curling up the corners of her eyes as was her custom hers.That smile was definitely beautiful, but there was something scary about it.
