Chapter 127
Unlike confidently infiltrating the palace, there was only silence on the way back. Neither Celestine, who had fallen for the king's judo newspaper, nor Annette, who intuited the impending crisis, were silent.
“Hmm. Everyone is silent.”
Of these, only Raileen was in the position of a third party. He would follow his employer his, Annette, if he ordered something, but the responsibility ended there. There was no need for Reileen to actively consider this matter. Relationship between Lailin and Annette.
Even in silence, the carriage continued to roll, and soon reached the promised location. The first person to get up was Raileen.
“Okay then, I'm out of here. If you have any further questions or requests, please feel free to let me know.”
With a bright smile on her face, Raileen jumped off the wagon and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Annette, who was raising herself to change carriages as well, turned to Celestine. Seeing her expression her, somewhat hardened by her fear her, broke her heart. Annette bent over her and kissed Celestine tenderly on the pale cheek of her.
“You will be fine, Celestine. Don't worry, go home and get some rest today. I'll try to find a way somehow. Do you believe me?”
“… Sure. Even if no one else knows, you can trust it. Annette.”
Celestine thanked her by squeezing her hand and releasing it.Fortunately, she was a little comfortable, and her expression became brighter than before.Thanks to this, Annette's heart her as they parted was also slightly lighter.
Annette quickly got off at the crossroads where several carriages were coming and going, and turned the corner of the alley. Then he changed to another carriage that was waiting there. He did it to avoid any possible tailing.
“Here you are.”
What was waiting inside was a long and beautiful face. Rafel's face her, looking out with a bored expression on her chin, was as cold as a winter wind. However, the moment Annette was in those deep blue eyes, a warm color suddenly spread across his face. It's like a glass of water with a drop of syrup on it.
Lapel, who showed white teeth between her red lips, gave off a charming smile Surprisingly, he recognized Annette's disguise her as her at a glance Lapel, who had been examining Annette's face under her thick eyelashes her, giggled like a boy.
“You, what is that face? You're putting on something fun.”
“… Oh This one? I was dressing up because I was going to the palace. Is it very strange?”
It was really strange.I was so anxious and worried just a few minutes ago.The moment Annette saw his smile her her, she felt his heart sink.It felt stable, as if my feet, floating in the air, suddenly stepped on the solid ground.
“Where to look? Come closer.”
The lapel on her outstretched arm her effortlessly pulled her into her wagon and put her on her lap. Lapel, who was facing her from a distance close enough to feel her breath her, scanned her face her. Annette's cheeks her brushed as the overly handsome face her observed her ridiculous make-up of her. He was suddenly ashamed of his own appearance of her, which he had never paid attention to before.
“What the hell did you do with your nose and cheekbones?”
“I melted the wax and applied powder on top of it.
“Yes.”
“… Stop watching now I am ashamed.”
Annette finally brushed and pushed the shoulder of the man who had come close to her. However, Lapel easily stopped her by grabbing her wrist her, and she rather pushed her face her closer. The distance narrowed enough that the tip of each other's noses touched Lapel, whose blue eyes narrowed under his long eyelashes, whispered lowly.
“You're cute, you.”
Rafel's large, hot handslessly ripped the wax off her cheekbones, and he swiped the tip of her nose her. With every movement of his hand, lumps of powdered wax fell to the floor. Lapel, who casually pushed it with her foot her, kissed her on her lips.
“Pretty.”
“Ah…”
“You are always pretty.”
Rafel whispered honestly. What he originally wanted to say were longer, more sophisticated words. For example, even if you wear something strange on your face or a wig that doesn't match. On top of that, sweet words like saying that you' re pretty even in a maid's uniform.
But he didn't have the words to express his full feelings. So he had no choice. Instead of whispering the elegant whispers of love, I had no choice but to put my lips together and let my heart flow through the gap.
“Ah, Lapel… Umm….”
A kiss with him was far away, like being eaten. Warm breaths passed between his lips his, and the elastic tip of his tongue his scraped the sensitive roof of his mouth his. It was a tenacious touch, as if he couldn't stand even the slightest gap.
Her lips parted from hers, and Annette blushed and gasped for breath. The color of her neat lips has changed to a much more reddish rosy. Seeing this, Lafel reached out her hand with her darkened eyes and gently brushed her puffy lower lip her. Annette trembled at the desire that emanated from her fingertips her.
“This is in the carriage, Lapel.”
“Right. And you are on my lap now.”
Even wearing a maid outfit Lapel swallowed her lips before her words of refusal could escape The kiss, which was a little harsh at first, became sweeter and kinder as her lips touched again and again.
Lafel thought as she kissed her lips excitedly. She hadn't intended to do this the moment she saw Annette's face her. But her first love was a strange feeling indeed. Her own body her, and her soul her, were drawn towards her as if they were pulled by something. It's like a compass needle that always points north no matter where you are.
He stretched out his hand and caressed Annette, as if succumbing to an invisible force.The skin that touched her fingertips her, the lips that touched her her were terribly sweet.Thanks to that, the inside of her carriage. Was quickly filled with hot air.
On that day, the coachman of the Kanesis family had to take a longer trip than necessary. Originally, being an employee of an aristocratic family had to be sensible.
Annette felt the wagon stop shaking and Booth woke up. After a period of intense physical exhaustion, it seemed that he had fallen asleep in a blink of an eye. Looking out the window, I saw the front door of a familiar house. Home.
“You're awake.”
Lapel, who had lent her shoulder the whole time, lowered her head to kiss Annette's forehead, At this, Annette rubbed her eyes and laughed.
“It just arrived.”
“Go inside. The wind is cold.”
Lapel, who got off the carriage first, picked Annette up in a hug instead of holding her hand her her her.And she strode into the mansion.His steps toward Annette's bedroom were even natural.As if he were declaring himself the owner of this room.
Soon after, the couple sat facing each other in the bedroom and began a full-scale conversation. It was something I hadn't said in the carriage because I was worried about eavesdropping. After hearing about everything that had happened in the palace, Lapel was lost in thought.
“Hmm. It happened.”
It was good news that Crown Prince Ludwig would sincerely become an ally. But I never thought the king would appear there. It was something no one expected. So it was an even more fatal blow. Of him, which he seemed to have been determined.
'The old tiger's teeth seem to be still in good shape.'
To be honest, it wasn't Lafel's business to know what happened to Celestine.But Annette was the one who had already accepted her as her friend.She would be very sad if anything happened to her.Annette's bud-like eyes in her. Lafel clicked his tongue and decided to relieve Annette's anxiety on her.
“Don't worry. His Majesty has already chosen the Marquis of Keirs as his right-hand man her. So I'm not going to lay my hands on Celestine, her daughter her. I know how terrible the Marquis Keirs is to my family.”
“… I do not know. I hope so, Lapel. I'm actually a little anxious.”
“At what point?”
Rafel asked, brushing his sharp jawline.Then, before Annette spoke, she chose her thoughts carefully, as she usually does.She was one of her good habits that Lapel admired inwardly.Her mouth her.
“After I've been through it a few times, I think I know a little about His Majesty's purging methods. He is very subtle and ruthless.”
“If you are, then so be it.”
Lapel, who had recently come to believe that Annette made cheese with corn, inadvertently affirmed it. Anyway, among the many feelings that Rafel had for the king, there was no particular affection for his blood. Rather, now that I found out the truth Annette, who had been fiddling with his fingertips for a while, then let out a worry like a sigh.
“If I were your Majesty, I would get rid of Celestine as soon as possible. Otherwise, the coronation of the Crown Princess will soon take place. You care so much about His Highness Ludwig's future his, but you can't make him a widower who lost his wife his. I will definitely use my hand before that.”
“But if she touched that woman, she wouldn't let the Marquis of Keers go?”
“So right after using her hand her her, I'm going to frame someone else. Just like it always has.”
Listening to Annette's little birdlike voice, Lapel's hand Her her, which had been tilting the glass, stopped He just had no connections with society, but he was no fool He raised his manly eyebrows and clicked his tongue in annoyance.
“… The target of that overture will probably be you.
“Right. I already have a criminal record for kidnapping, and recently I met Celestine frequently. It's a perfect position to lay the blame on.”
“If you are pointed out as the culprit here again, the Marquis Keirs will go mad. He will inevitably erase Bavaria itself from Deltium's genealogy. In any case, at least one of the subordinates' motivation is certain.”
Raffel clicked his tongue at the cruel king's tactics.It was an extremely ruthless and selfish way of taking advantage of myself while scratching everyone. Apparently, in order to become the king of Deltium, he had to know how to plot this much.
Instead of answering his words her, Annette laughed forlornly.There was a hint of resignation on her face.Seeing this, Rafel frowned as if disapproving.
