Chapter 13
Annette's suspicions about her father her and her were reasonable.The blue-blooded Bavaria never wasted time in futility.If he did this simply to insult Lapel,he did n't even have to send the gift back,he just throw it away.
Annette let out a deep sigh and decided to keep an eye on her father's movements her for the time being. I don't know what the hell they're decorating, but I couldn't let Lapel continue to look down on me like this When he recalled the treatment he received from his parents today, he became angry.
'You sent me here as a married woman, and Lapel didn't treat you as a son-in-law. You're so irresponsible!'
Although Rafel was an illegal child, he was the illegal son of a royal family. Even the Wise King, Celgratis, was known to care for Lapel quite a bit. This made Crown Prince Ludwig feel rivalry with Rafel. Heir to the royal family, and Rafel was just an illegal child.
Perhaps the reason Annette's father neglected Lapel was because of the Crown Prince's notice of him. Ludwig would surely become the next king. Although he had no choice but to accept the hated Lapel as his son-in-law her, it was a cold attitude that would draw her line beyond that.
Annette understood her father's position as her in her head. But he was emotionally unacceptable. Even knowing that he was framed, he married her away her as if kicking her out her, and even neglected her husband her, Raffel. , Annette pursued her lips.
* * *
It was a really noisy morning. After completing his swordsmanship training today, Rafel entered the mansion with a sweaty body. I was in a bad mood last night too, probably because I fell asleep while drinking. Neither his arms his wielding his sword his nor his legs his stepping on his steps he were unmovable.
Apart from his loose personal life his, Rapel did not neglect his swordsmanship training even for a single day. Until the king's illegal son became the Marquis of Kanesis, the only thing that protected him was his talent for the sword. Rafel's eyes darkened as he took off his shirt and wiped his sweaty body.
'Why not?'
It seemed to reach the level of a sword master, but it did not. It was extremely cramped, as if blocked by an invisible wall. If someone could point me in the direction, I wanted to give him a thousand gold. Ll be better off if he doesn't drink?
“Damn!!”
Out of temper, Lapel threw away his towel and headed for his window.When he was in such a bad mood, he enjoyed looking down at his mansion through the open windows.After the carnesis he had obtained himself, he felt much better looking at the artist's magnificent mansion and extensive gardens.
But today, even the open view could not calm Lafel's mind. It was because his eyes were sharp, as a hawk, had spotted a little woman sitting in the garden. Like Kanesis Mansion, another trophy he had obtained was Annette Bavaria.
Technically, her last name was Kanesis now.However, Rafel did not accept her within his framework her yet.She was just an accessory to the disgusting duchy of Bavaria.It's just a little odd accessory.
Lapel narrowed her eyes and looked at Annette, who looked as small as her finger, She was sitting on her bench, looking intently at some book.
'Is this a plot to get my attention?'
Rafel's blue eyes were cold.From the window of his room, he had a good view of the bench Annette was sitting on.It was an action that a cunning Bavarian woman would have fully intended.
Annette, wearing a pale green off-the-shoulder dress and her shiny blonde hair in braids, definitely drew attention. If you bite into that pure white shoulder, it will leave a light pink tooth mark. Annette looked to him like a very elaborate and very expensive porcelain doll. A top-of-the-line item that he, an illegitimate child, would never have.
Rafel was unfamiliar with the fact that the woman was his wife.However, Annette herself seemed to firmly believe that she already belonged to the Carnesis family.The corner of Rafel's mouth her went up slightly as he recalled the argument she had had with. The Bavarian butler.
'Apologizing to my husband, who deserves respect.
Lapel tried to twist Annette inside, but the corners of her mouth her, which had risen once strangely, did not know how to go down. The aggressive butler of the House of Bavaria seemed very desperate to see Annette taking his side of him. Thought of that scene, I felt cold inside.
In fact, Rafel had no idea that Annette would take her side that much.Well, maybe it was a pretense for show, but it was a satisfactory response.Lapel's eyes softened a little as he glared at Annette outside her window.
Whining-
The sun wasn't too strong today, but the wind blew instead. Annette reflexively raised her hand and ran it through her hair. Her blonde hair her, on a cloudy day, shimmered like flax, a pale platinum color. Became clearer, the passage from the book she had just read caught her eye her.
— …… Regression is an extremely rare experience, but once you return, you will have special abilities that you have never had before. A typical example is the prostitute Natalie, who had the ability to charm men by emitting a special pheromone after her return. In this way, the regressors acquire rare abilities one by one, ranging from elemental magic to the ability to create sugar cubes.
Annette laughed lightly at the part about 'the ability to create sugar cubes'. Still, her mind was complicated. It was because she thought about what her own special ability her was. Way, Annette doesn't like fried foods very much.
'No matter what, I hope it's a useful skill.'
Unfortunately, the book does not mention when and how the regressors realized their new abilities. In the first place, there were too few cases of regressors, and little was known about them. Annette could not hide her regret her, and she flipped through her front page to see if there was something I had missed.
At that moment, her sudden strong wind Her snatched away the book she was reading At the same time the hem of her rich dress of her Annette Her she was flipped over Surprised Annette hurriedly pulled down the hem of her skirt and found her book she rolled away.
“Oh my, what should I do!”
Annette jumped up and hurriedly ran to her book her. It was a humid day today, and she was worried that there might be some stains on the floor. It was a book brought from the library of the Marquis Kanesis's library, but if it was damaged, he would not have the face to look at the lapel.
Wheein-
Her erratic wind her blew her hair in her braids. More than half of her hair had slipped out of the thin pin before she knew it. Her thin blonde hair her cascaded, and she kept blocking her view her. Because of this, Annette, who hurriedly lowered her head to pick up her book her, did not spot the pillar in front of it in time.
“Aw!!”
Suddenly, my eyes flashed, and I felt a rather sharp pain in my left temple. Annette held the book in one hand and groped her forehead with the other. The place he bumped into her felt hot, and lukewarm liquid flowed between his fingers her In the end, he saw blood.
'It's blood, isn't it?'
Annette was started. She was a well-bred girl, and she was rarely hurt in her life. She is usually a cautious personality, so she was even more like that. Annette senselessly wipes the blood from her temples, and in her panic she is at a loss.
Fortunately, the knowledge I saw in the book soon came to mind. In this case, I had to put pressure on her wound her to stop the bleeding her. Annette pressed hard on her wound her, trying to stay calm. And reality her, if different, were very different.
“Ouch!!”
As she strained her hand, the area of her blow her hurt so badly. Her tingling pain she brought tears to my eyes. Annette finally gave up on her plan to stop the bleeding and withdraw the power her from her hand Then she dripped blood, staining her dress.
Annette stumbled and turned her body towards the porch of her mansion her her at that moment a solid wall suddenly appeared in front of Annette's eyes her in her she was so started that she could n' t even scream and stiffened.
“Are you hurt? Look where you are.”
What appeared in front of her was not a wall, but a lapel.He was so tall and well-built that Annette's confused eyes she only gave her a brief illusion.Rafel looked down at her Annette with her disapproving eyes and reached out her hand. Her her to examine her forehead her her.
Fortunately, Annette's wounds her were not serious. All she had to do was tear the skin where her blood vessels passed, and her bleeding her looked especially bad. , She was a minor wound.
Still, the bright red blood on Annette's pure white face and light blonde hair was strangely omnious. Lapel felt a chill in her chest, like someone who had been pushed off a cliff. Seeing Annette in pain made his heart sink. I felt a strange sense of déjà vu, as if I had experienced something like this before.
In order to get rid of this dirty feeling, Rafel spat out a sharp rebuke.
“Anyway, stupid. Those eyes seem to be worn as decorations, don't they?”
Annette pursued his lips and lowered her eyes helplessly. I had no words to say because it was true that I went and drove it with my feet on a pillar that was standing still. Her, which was surprised to see her blood her, she felt sad for some reason, and tears welled up in her eyes her.
Annette blinked his eyes her, trying not to cry, inhaling. Then, unintentionally, a little sniffling sound came out. At that moment, Lapel's hand her, which had been groping Annette's forehead her, suddenly stiffened. He was doing this.
