Chapter 12
At Rafel's call, Gerard reluctantly opened her mouth and responded.
“… Yes, Your Excellency Marquis.”
“Considering your absurd rudeness, the reputation of the House of Bavaria is in doubt. I'll forgive you for seeing my wife this time, but not the second time.”
Rafel warned, glaring at Gerard with her murderous eyes In that short time, cold sweat broke out on Gerard's forehead his Rafel exuded his breathless spirit despite his dished clothes that had just come out of bed Front of me made me dizzy .
It was only then that Gerard sensed the danger of Lapel too late.The rumor that he was an excellent swordsman who would soon reach the level of a sword master seemed to be true.He was a brutal butcher enough to be called a demon roaming the battlefield until a few years ago.
Gerard's spine instantly cooled like ice. He realized that Rafel's “Never twice” Warning was sincere. Even now, his lifelike eyes his, shining brightly, moved back and forth between Gerard's limbs, as if he was trying to figure out which one to cut The moment he realized this, Gerard's jaw his twitched briefly.
“Counsel, thank you for your lenient treatment. Your Excellency Kanesis Sense of Smell.”
This time, Gerard, who gave me a polite greeting from the heart, left as if he were running away. If I go back like this, my master will definitely be scolded, but at this moment, I didn't like that. Hurriedly hurried his legs, feeling the eerie stars following him behind him.
“…….”
Now, Annette and Lapel were the only ones left here Annette felt Lapel's gaze her staring at her her profile her her Annette swallowed his dry saliva and looked at him with trembling eyes.
“I'm sorry, Lapel. Were you in a bad mood?”
Annette, depressed, apologized frankly. She pretended to be bold, but in fact her heart pounded in surprise. In her previous life, she had been bedridden for the first night, so she had no idea that this had happened. Badly at her own parents' house her.
Annette now realized why, in her previous life, when she woke up from her bed of illness, she had seen Lapel cast such cold eyes on her. He had already been insulted once by Annette's parents while she lay ill. She hated Lafel for being cold-blooded.
Fortunately, Lapel's eyes his looking down at Annette, were dry.He readily accepted Annette's apology without being sarcastic or angry.
“I don't really care.”
Rafel calmly spewed out a lie about the topic of disassembling Gerard's limbs just a moment ago.Recalling Annette's diligent longing for a butler with her small body made her angry feel like she was getting cold.Actually, it seemed like a bit of fun .
But I had no intention of letting it go smoothly. Although Annette sided with him, she was not sure what to do behind the scenes. Raffel's distrust and hated of Bayern were so deeply rooted. He spat out barbed words at Annette, who was looking at him.
“I guess I'll have to pay more attention to butler education when I go to Bavaria. That's how you look, Won.”
Rafel thought that perhaps Annette might be furious after hearing what I had to say.The people of Bavaria were aggressive, especially because the pride of my family pierced the sky.But Annette's reaction to her was very unexpected.
“I know, right. Well, you know what. Now I am a member of the Kanesis family.”
Annette responded sternly, remembering her father who had abandoned her. In his previous life his, he had not escaped the shadow of his good daughter his, but this time he was determined not to. He was much more like a family than his father his , who did not show his face his even once until he died in the hospital bed, and Rafel, who grumbled and took care of him until the end.
However, upon hearing Annette's answer to her, Lafel was very surprised. Lafel's expression of her, which had been cold all along in front of her, collapsed for the first time, revealing an honest expression. Seeing this, Annette somehow felt that he was a little closer. Annette asked, looking up at Lapel with a pitiful look on her face.
“You're not thinking of kicking me out now are you? I just got into a fight with my parents and I have nowhere to go.”
“You are talking nonsense.”
Lafel put on an expression of open disgust at her joke. She was still certain that she had no intention of accepting Annette into her family. Annette, however, was not particularly hurt. In a way, it could have been a serious family conflict, but I was just grateful that Lafel went over it to this extent.
“Come to think of it, why did Gerard come here? I think I ran an errand earlier.”
Annette tilted her head as she recalled the purpose of Gerard's visit, which she had forgotten for a moment. Then she raised her hand with Lapel's cold face and pointed at her somewhere. Of luxurious boxes piled up there.
Annette wondered what those boxes were, so she took a closer look. Fortunately, the logo engraved in gold leaf on the wrapping paper stood out. These were famous workshops in Deltium, most of which were jewelry companies. The main product.
“I hope those….. . “
Annette's eyes widened. Come to think of it, the shape of the boxes seemed somehow familiar. Annette's cheeks turned pale when she realized something. Those boxes piled haphazardly on the ground right now…… It was probably a wedding gift. , Precious gifts she sent to her parents' house her.
'Now…… Did you return the wedding presents sent by your son-in-law?'
Rather, at this point, Gerard's rudeness was cute. At the contempt of her parents beyond her imagination, Annette gasped. How could Lafel send back the gifts that he sent with care in such an insulting way! I hadn't even heard of this case. Lapel, who opened his mouth just in time, stamped out Annette's suspicions with a bang.
“They rejected me because they didn't like the gift. They are things that do not fit the rank of the Duke of Bavaria, so they are not useful anyway? So, go with me.”
Lafel, who stood with his arms crossed, sneered as if chewing and spitting. Looking at it now, he was in a languid outfit with an open front, and the areas around his blue eyes were bloodshot red. Well last night. In such a state he had been in this commotion since early morning, and by this time he had nothing to say even if he hated Annette.
Annette was deeply depressed.To question the effectiveness of wedding gifts was an absurd accusation.The intention to kill the spirit by insulting Lapel was clearly determined.His her own father his his, Allah Mandah, had a personality to match.
'If this is the case, I'd rather not agree to the marriage.'
The more I thought about it, the more angry and sad I became. Annette's false accusation prevented her from becoming the Crown Princess. Fortunately for her, Annette's family took care of her, but in the process she had to take on the role of the royal family. In a word, her weakness was caught.
So, her father her Allah, to please the king, married her to Rafel as if she had abandoned Annette. Because King Celgratis cared for his illegitimate son his, Rapel. Up for her lack of rapel lineage in her. Just in time, Annette, who was 'flandered', won the prize.
Allah, her father her must have been very unhappy with this marriage.However, instead of protesting directly to the king who orchestrated this marriage, Allamand chose to insult the easy-going Rapel.Annette thought this of her father her of her was very cowardly.
“I'm so sorry, Lapel. I have no face to see you. I…… Next time, I will mediate well so that this does not happen.”
Rafel looked at the apologetic Annette, who clasped her hands in front of her.Her head her was lowered so I could not see her face her,but at least her voiceshe was apologetic.It was a desperate voice that softened even her bad-tempered lapel her.
Lapel thought she couldn't just let it go. Although she seems to be reflecting now, Annette was also a member of the Bavarian family. She never knew her when she would change her stance and side with her parents of her, saying, ' You're sensitive.'
Therefore, Lapel opened her mouth to firmly bully her Annette.But strangely, she could n't think of any mean words she would say to her.
'Why am I like this?'
Rafel frowned for a moment and looked down at Annette's small head her but in the end all that came out was a formal warning.
“…Take care of yourself so that this does not happen in the future.
“Understood.”
Annette looked at Lapel's back as she turned with sad eyes. I thought he would vent his anger at her a lot, but surprisingly he didn't say much. Lapel's back as he turned his back and disappeared was nothing short of cool, but it was a miracle that it ended like this. At least it must have softened his heart because Annette openly sided with him.
Annette, left alone, blinked a couple of times before sighing. She had just declared her separation from her from her parents, but to her own surprise from her she had no regrets. It was her parents who laid her hands on her first anyway, but she wasn't herself.
'It's okay. It was a good decision.'
Annette comforted herself. She married Rapel, and she was his wife his. So, of course, she was right to take his side. Although Rapel was an illegal son, he was a nobleman and war hero who was recognized by the royal family. Even if he was the Duke of Bavaria, he did not have the right to crush the lapel like this.
However, he had one curious part. Annette blinked and thought to herself.
'But why did they bother to return the gift?'
Annette somehow felt that her father might have other intentions.And with very sinister intentions.
