Chapter 23
Rafel paused as he tried to drink her drink her from her glass her as usual. Slowly rather than swear.
The golden wine slicked from the glass and slowly flowed between his red lips. Lapel's eyes her, which had been savoring the taste and aroma as he rolled the liquor in her mouth with the tip of his tongue her, eventually turned to my side. , The exhausted Annette was asleep as if passed out.
She slept so soundly that Annette's pale purple eyelids her were closed motionlessly. The inside of her lips where wheezing breath leaked out was a very pale pink. Looking at her neat color her, no one would be able to notice that she had had sex with her to the point where she was just awful.
Annette clung to his side her like a puppy looking for its mother her. Her little hand her resting on her own body she was so light that she could barely feel its weight her. Strangely, it seemed that the tickling feeling of her tickling her from her white hand her was transmitted to her her body her, so Lapel ruthlessly pushed her hand her away her.
'A strange woman.'
Still, her face was astonishingly pretty.It seemed like he could understand why the family members of the Duke of Bavaria held their noses high as if they were the only ones of a special race.The goddamn Duke of Bavaria, Allamand, was also an elegant middle-age with platinum blonde hair. As if proving the most expensive lineage with a face.
Lapel reached out her hand her for no reason and touched Annette's cheek her. The soft, round cheeks of her were faintly flushed from the heat of sex. Looking at those reddish eyes, I felt blood rushing to my lower body her. Did more here, Annette would really lie down.
'Anyway, it's needlessly weak.'
Rafel clicked her tongue. She never thought that she would have a relationship like this with this woman. That's how much Raffel's hostility towards the Duke of Bavaria was.
Of course, Allamand, the Duke of Bavaria, was the one who opposed Rafel's Marquess until the very end. Rafel remembered the eyes of Allamand Bayern, who still looked down on him with contemplation. He was a race that hated even breathing in the same space as his illegitimate son his, Rapel.
So Rafel accepted this marriage. Even if Annette's marriage talks with the crown prince were canceled because she was a vicious woman, what would that mean?
All Rapel needed was Annette's lineage her to make up for her lack of birth her anyway. To be able to see the distorted expression of Allah Mand, Duke of Bavaria, who became her father-in-law her here, she was a truly outstanding business. Annette's need her was just that.
She said, 'How many couples in the world get married out of love.'
Rafel didn't even believe in love. The only thing he could count on in this damn world was his own strength. He wanted to rise in the world proudly against the nobles who laughed at him, and he needed Annette for this. I didn't care what Annette was doing behind her back.
After all, she is also famous, she is from Bavaria, so she will be disgusted with her husband her her, her illegitimate son her her like herself.
However, Annette, who actually experienced it, was a little different from what he expected. She acted as if she respected Lapel, and she tried to explain each time in good faith despite his rowdy quarrels with her.
'Well, either way doesn't matter.'
It didn't hurt that Annette seemed to respect him. Rather, it would have been advantageous. Lapel lazily swallowed the strong drink that lingered in his mouth. A leather choker still draped around her graceful neck and delighted his eyes. My grumpiness, but it wasn't bad because Annette felt like she belonged to her.
Lapel twitched the corners of his mouth her, recalling Annette's pure white naked body her that he had personally confirmed. At least, it seemed that she hadn't given herself up to Ludwig. Still, when I imagined how they would cry and cry and say goodbye, I felt strangely twisted inside.
Apparently, he couldn't stand Annette rolling over to another man. Anytime I thought it didn't matter what I did behind the scenes, it couldn't be anything other than a cunning change of heart.
Still, it did n't matter.After all, he was a heartless villain who climbed from the bottom, and Annette was a pitiful prisoner in his grasp.
“Um….. . “
Perhaps feeling a sense of danger, a painful sound flowed from Annette's lips her, who had been sleeping as if she were dead Rafel slowly brushed her full lower lip her with her nonchalant eyes.The flesh gently pushed from her fingertips her was nothing short of amazing.
Annette licked her lips in her sleep and kissed the tips of his fingers her.The shape was pretty cute.Seeing this, Rafel laughed and lowered her head and whispered in her ear.
“You'd better forget about the crown prince and everything, Annette. There is nowhere for you to run anyway.”
Lapel whispered in a low, harsh voice and bit her earlobe Her her teeth-marked little white ears Her were nice to look at her Like the leash hanging around her neck Her her her
Annette woke up and was devastated by the midday sunlight coming through the window. She was an early riser because of the rigorous upbringing she received while unmarried. But yesterday she overslept because of the violent affair she had with Rapel.
Annette let out a sigh and was about to leave her bedroom when she suddenly found the choker hanging around her neck her.Only then did Annette remember what had happened the night before and she blushed.
'Anyway, he's mean.'
Fortunately, there was a knife for opening letters on the table. Annette used the knife to cut the choker around her neck. I was sorry that it was a gift from her step-sister her, Claire, but her gift served its purpose well, so she was sure to be satisfied too.
Annette let out a sigh as she recalled yesterday's lapel, which had pushed herself harder than she thought.Although her relationship her her her her Ludwig her her her.
'It's probably better to ease his mood for him.'
Annette felt sorry and made a promise to herself. No matter how much Rafel didn't love him, having a private conversation with her ex-fiancé her was unpleasant. After Annette finished her usual light grooming, she went downstairs to retrieve her lapel. Encountering one of her maids on the way, she asked without thinking.
“Do you know where he is?”
“You are out, ma'am. She said she was going to the palace.”
The maid replied, bowing her head politely. Annette nodded and passed her with her unconcerned face. It was a bit disappointing that Rafel went out without leaving a note, but he never went around revealing his destination his anyway. Out of the way because he was angry with Annette.
Annette sighed and decided to go to the library. He wondered if, if he was lucky, he might be able to find more books on regressors. However, Annette's plan was unintentionally foiled. The front parlor.
'Gerard?'
The blond, tall, and elegant young man was Gerard, the butler of the Duke of Bavaria. He had been scolded the other day when he came to return a wedding present sent by Rafel. So Annette thought he would never visit the Marquis of Carnesis again.
Gerard, not yet aware of Annette's presence in her, headed for the front door with a nonchalant face as if to leave And he spit it out at the servant of the mansion who came out to see off his guest .
“Then, I will visit you again when His Excellency His Marquis Kanesis is here.”
At those words, Annette's eyes narrowed. Although Lapel was absent, the hostess herself was definitely present. But Gerard insisted on going back, saying, 'I'll come back when you're here.' Annette found Gerard's behavior suspicious.
Maybe your parents aren't trying to insult Lapel again? Annette was very nervous with a foreboding feeling. If that was the case, he couldn't send Gerard back like this. If Gerard, who visited him while he was away, provoked Rafel's anger again, then the worst would have happened.
So Annette quickly stopped Gerard right before he left the mansion. Even when he heard himself, a very pretentious voice rang out.
“Gerard! What's going on here? Nice to see you again.”
“… Greetings to the Marquis.
Gerard seemed to have made up his mind.He bowed to Annette politely,as if he were treating a stranger.Judging by Gerard's businesslike demeanor of his,who could have guessed that he had assisted Annette for nearly ten years?
Annette accepted Gerard's greeting with a graceful nod. As well as he knew himself, Annette knew him quite well. Annette read a bit of frustration on Gerard's sleek face when she met her. Pretending not to know this, she calmly grabbed Gerard.
“I was too heartless last time, Gerard? But I won't apologize. As a wife, I can't put up with my husband's insults. Still, I'd like to recommend a cup of tea after seeing the old life. It's been a long time since I've been talking about the old days. Come on, follow me.”
Annette naturally turned around. Then Gerard's mouth hardened a little. It was clear that he wanted to somehow avoid being alone with Annette.
“I want to do that too, but inevitably I have to follow the Duke's order…… Looks like I'll have to go see it now. I'm sorry, ma'am.”
Sure enough, words of rejection flowed from Gerard's lips, her his.At that, Annette covered her mouth wide in surprise.And he looked at Gerard with a clearly hurt expression on his face.
“Oh my gosh! Did your father tell you not to have a cup of tea with me? How can you not be cruel? No matter how busy you are with construction work, how can you even deny the time when the old butler and I say hello? Probably not. I'll write a letter to my father right away……”
When Annette hinted at protesting directly to her father her, Ala Mand, Gerard was much taken aback. Meeting Annette instead of Lapel in the first place was already a disaster for Gerard. If Annette's letter of protest was added to this, it would be impossible to rectify it. Allamand, who had already been disappointed in Gerard once, would not forgive him twice.
Gerard eventually raised both his hands and had no choice but to accept Annette's request.
“I think it would be possible with a cup of tea. Thank you for your kindness.”
Annette led the way to the parlor with a winner's smile. Now, through Gerard, he wanted to dig into his father's inner thoughts of him.
