Chapter 132
“Oh! Are there more people than before?”
Annette covered her mouth and widened her pink eyes. It was a plain tone, as if anyone could count the number of people in the book club. However, the place Annette was looking at was none other than the dungeon of the Kanesis family. Were not only Yukali, the existing tenant (?), But also many new faces.
“I captured that woman's link and used it to capture another one. I repeated that a few times and got a pretty useful guy. Harold said that he was the king's direct subordinate. I have already received all of your confessions.”
He pointed to a man whose lapel seemed insignificant and was tied up. Contrary to his blunt tone, Rafel's face had a very elated expression. He seemed quite proud of his own achievements. Seeing that face as if he was waiting for something, Annette gave him a small smile and praise him.
“Awesome, Lapel. After all, there is nothing you can't do! I am really reassured that you are here.”
“… What. It's nothing.”
Muttered Lapel as he turned his head around.His downcast eyeshis looked cold and mysterious,like a frozen lake,but Annette knew.The fact that Rafel is now ashamed.
'My ears are turning red.'
Unlike the disingenuous master, Rafel's ears belonged to the very honest side. Annette tried to hide his smile her and rested her head on his shoulder her. Then, as if Rafel had waited, he gently hugged her by the shoulders. Her, Annette asked a question.
“So how was the interrogation? Did you have any useful information?”
“It's just confirmation of what I knew.”
Lapel replied with a slightly sullen expression. King Celgratis was a thoroughgoing man. He didn't just have one subordinate do the work, he distributed the order to several people. He did it so that even if one person failed, he would not go wrong. So if he captured one of his men, it wouldn't make much of a difference to him.
“One thing is for certain, on the day of the celebration, he intends to harm Celestine Keers. And that the guilt will be laid on you. That's all.”
As he spoke, Rafel's face distorted as if he was anxious. The first feeling of love was not always sweet. Rafel was terrified now and was on the verge of going mad. Giving her all of her her own heart to that little woman in her her, what if she loses her her? Just imagining it was a terrible future that took her breath away and made her eyes black.
Her anxiety her that she might lose someone dear to her was as deep and muddy as a swamp.Wouldn't it be nicer to lock her up in a safe place where only she could see her?If you do that,even this crazy anxiety will disappear.
However, it was she who made known her love and it was she who properly cut off these negative thoughts from her lapel her Annette who managed to understand Lafel's anxiety her warmly comforted him.
“Lapel, don't make that face. I'll be fine. I already have all the measures in place. In any case, my body can be healthy.”
“…… That day is my celebration. Your Majesty will surely try to separate me from you. In the worst case, I might get caught by people and not be able to rescue you in time.”
Annette noticed that the arms of Lapel holding her were trembling slightly. My heart was numb at the rare weak lapel. How much determination did he have to make before he, who was like a wary wild animal, gave up his heart his? And even dies…… The lapel was sure to break off.
“Don't worry, Lapel. It's not empty talk, I'm really going to be fine. Shouldn't I be alive anyway to frame me? So there will be no harm to my life.”
“That's something you don't know.”
A little more strength went into his forearm as he embraced Annette. Annette struggled to hold back the twitching of the tip of his nose her. How could I die leaving a man like this? Just imagining Rafel standing alone in front of his own tombstone brought tears to my eyes. He must have an expressionless face, but that makes him look even more terribly sad.
'So let's live a really long time in this life. You must never die.'
Annette was determined. Just catching the eucalyptus that poisoned him in his previous life has already changed his present his. So he'll be able to do just fine. It's a body that came back alive from death, so what's the point of this crisis Annette, who had hardened his heart her, grabbed Lapel's hand and dragged him.
“Now go to my room, Lapel. I have someone to introduce you to.”
At the unexpected words, Rafel gave a puzzled look. Annette has someone to introduce her to?
“Nice to meet you, Your Excellency, Marquis.”
The man in front of him lightly bent his knees and lifted the hem of his skirt. The clothes he was wearing now were none other than the maid clothes of the Marquis of Kanesis. Seeing this, Rafel's blue eyes shook aimlessly. All of them eventually came down to one.
'Why?'
It was. Rafel had a lot of questions. Why is that guy wearing a maid suit on his manly subject his? Even the maid uniforms of our mansion. Why is he so unnecessarily dignified even when he behaves like that? As a man?
While Lapel was uncharacteristically agitated, the man in front of him smiled and gave another blow.
“It's embarrassing to look at you like that, Master.”
“…….”
It was just really dangerous.Rafel almost cursed at him when he saw him for the first time.Annette laughed as he gulped down the accusation that hit his throat her.Having already become accustomed to Raileen's eccentricities her, she calmly introduced him to Rafel.
“This is Rylin Muslin, Lapel. He is the owner of the most outstanding information guild in Deltium. He has worked really hard for me until now.”
“It was nothing. Our secret customers deserve this kind of treatment.”
Raileen raised the corner of her mouth her coquettishly and kissed the back of Annette's hand as if showing off. Seeing this, Rafel's expression his twisted even more strangely. A handsome guy is flirting with my wife, and that's why…… It was A maid outfit, so my heart was complicated.
'I'm sure I'm angry….'
He was n't sure if it was because he was a man and he was angry because he was flirting with his wife. Raileen was literally a different world that Rafel saw for the first time in his life. Madman. Just in time, the rare madman smiled and opened his mouth.
“This is the message I received from His Highness Ludwig. Check it out.”
He lifted the hem of his maid's dress and pulled out a letter from his garter belt underneath. And he teasingly sticks his teeth out at Raffel.
Lapel looked down at it, stiff as a mouse facing a snake. When he had previously found Secret's ring in Annette's jewelry box, he had never imagined he would see it like this. I was ashamed of all the past days when I was worried that Annette would depend on this guy and leave me.
Well, Rafel's guess was true. But now Annette had no intention of leaving him. Annette, who glanced at Lapel, hardened in resentment, took the letter and read it instead.
“Look at this, Lapel. I think His Highness he notified something.”
The letter from Ludwig was not very long. During the celebration, a fire under the guise of an accident is scheduled to break out, and Celestine is dragged aside and harmed while people flee. This was a brief but vital piece of information Ludwig had extracted from his Majesty's side of him.
“And His Majesty said that he recently investigated the information on the employees of our mansion. Perhaps he intends to buy some of them.”
This was bad news. Annette frowned and sighed. He must be planning to bribe someone from the mansion's employees and frame himself again.
In an ordinary aristocratic family, there was a family of hired servants who served for generations. It was intended to increase loyalty and give a sense of belonging by serving a family from generation to generation. – -Coming aristocrat, naturally, the loyalty of the employees was low. If the King is determined and bribed, some of them will inevitably pass.
Even knowing this, there was nothing I could do about it.There were close to two hundred employees in the mansion.There was no way to find out which of them was bought out.Time was too tight for that.Ludwig, I knew this in advance, so I thought I could prepare a little 'response'.
'I'm also thankful.'
Ludwig's efforts were clearly visible in Annette's eyes her her.Annette seemed to be able to forgive Ludwig for his past mistakes his.He was really trying his best to make up for his past his.
Just in time, Lapel, who was free from the shock of the maid outfit, asked an appropriate question.
“How is that girl? Is her heart her ready?”
“You mean Celestine? Well…… Actually, I don't know. You are probably very anxious by now. Even though she looks brave on the outside, she has surprisingly a delicate side.”
Annette muttered anxiously as she stroked her her cheek her her then Lylene who was standing still beside her suddenly put her hand her on her own chest her her somehow another letter popped out of his cleavage of her.
“I got the news because I thought you might be worried. Let's take a look.”
“Thank you, Mr. Rileen. You are also competent.”
Lafel thought as she looked at Annette, who calmly received the letter from him. How could she be so indifferent? A letter came out from between the breasts of the maid's uniform, isn't it strange?
In conclusion, it was.Annette had no idea.The ability of humans to adapt is truly remarkable.She decided to pay more attention to the content of her letter than to the breasts she had grown accustomed to.Of the letter, was relieved before long.
“This is a letter written by Celestine herself. She said everything was ready. In case of an emergency, the shoes are low-heeled, and the body of the dress is thinly bent with an iron plate to prevent assassination. Re going to wear a big hard jewel choker around her neck her too?”
If she had worked so hard in her preparation of her, she wouldn't have to worry about Celestine's state of mind, because she seemed full of the will to survive more than ever.Annette stroked her her heart her her, while he braced himself too.
'Finally…… It's tomorrow.'
The second life, the day of the decisive battle, is imminent.
