Chapter 25
“Let's go upstairs together, Lapel. I will hold your hand.”
Annette was nervous, but she didn't show it and took Lapel's large hand her. At first, he shook off Annette's hand her, but then, as if dizzy, he grabbed her hand her. Annette helped him to the bedroom, trying not to look upset.
Lapel, who was staggering, sat down on the edge of the bed. For an excellent swordsman to have been unable to control himself this far, he must have been very drunk. It seemed impossible to ask him anything today.
Annette undressed Lapel, who was drunk, and took off his socks herself, then laid him down on the bed. Unlike usual, Rafel accepted her hand without her saying anything. Decadent and erotic.
“Sleep early today, Lapel. I'll tell the chef to prepare something good for a hangover tomorrow.”
Annette whispered, inadvertently brushing the black hair that flowed down his straight forehead of her.I don't know why, but in her eyes Her lapel looked very difficult now.He seemed like someone who was struggling to swallow something in his stomach her.
Annette looked down at him with pitying eyes At that moment Lapel grabbed Annette's her hand her her who had suddenly been brushing her her forehead her her her and pulled her towards her Annette collapsed on top of him before she could even scream.
Rafel's handsome face was right in front of him. Lapel, who had been looking at her blinking her blue eyes like the sea ofthe North Sea, murmured before long.
“I… I hate you.”
The moment she heard those words, Annette felt her heart sink. It was a fact he knew well, but he was strangely hurt when he heard it directly from Lapel's mouth his. Annette actually thought that in this life he was getting along with Lapel. But it also seemed to be his own delusion of her.
Annette bit his lip and pulled the hand her out of his.And he tried to descend on Lapel's hard body of hers.But the lapel of her outstretched hand her pressed her back down and pressed her closer to her body her.Annette was now half -embracing him.
Lapel, who raised his other hand and cared Annette's cheek her her, spat out abruptly.
“I bet you hate me anyway.”
Annette couldn't understand why Lapel was doing this. It was pointless to be angry with a drunkard anyway. Annette lowered her eyes, then whispered softly.
“It's not like that, Lapel.”
There was definitely a time in my previous life when I hated Lapel.He looked like someone who could n't hurt himself somehow.Annette, who was mentally and physically unstable from the shock of being abandoned by her fatherher her, could not bear it.
The married life with Lapel and the changed reality due to false accusations were too much for Annette. She eventually suffered from mental stress and passed away at a young age. The marriage life of her in her previous life was terrible, but there was only one reason why Annette was able to put up with Rafel's argument well.
'Still, the only person who protected me until the end was Lapel.'
Rafel was an undeniably mean husband to Annette when she was healthy, but ironically, when she started to get sick she became a pretty good husband.He faithfully nursed her Annette for about two years while she was bedridden.
Of course, her temper of her lapel didn't go anywhere, and she sometimes threw her soup, and sometimes she yelled at Annette for her. But in the end, with her remorse on her face her, she crept beside Annette, measured her temperature her, and changed her clothes her. Thinking back then, Annette didn't hate Lapel like before. Even though she didn't even have a choice, she married him, though… If possible, I wanted to dream of a happy future. With her her own husband her, Raffel.
“I don't hate you. Lafel, you are my family.”
Annette, with a wry smile, reached out and touched his cheek her her.Then Rafel raised his handsome eyebrows and took her hand down her.As if she coldly rejects her touch her.
“No, your family is not me. The proud Bavarian. Is it not?”
Lafel sneered even worse.Not even her strong drink her could blunt the tip of his sharp tongue her.
“Lapel….”
Hearing those words, Annette wanted to cry, She had a lot to say, but she could not bear to get it out of her mouth, Then she'll only make herself more miserable.
Her father, her had abandoned Annette, and her only brother, her had gone across the sea to a distant empire.Now that her new sister, her, Chloe, has returned to the Empire, the only family Annette has left is Lapel., Even Lapel.
Annette's eyes widened with pain as she looked at the lapel beneath her bed Seeing this, Rafel reached out her hand and covered her eyes and she muttered as if to excuse herself.
“Don't look at me like that, damn it. Every time you look at me with those eyes I…….”
Instead of finishing her words, Rafel stubbornly pressed her lips together. Apparently, he didn't even want to look into his own eyes of her. Tears welled up in Annette's eyes her involuntarily. Then she flinched and withdraw her hand her, as if Lapel had been burned.
“Are you crying?”
Lafel looked up at Annette's face her stubbornly, even with her drunken eyes her. Annette calmly reached out and wiped her eyes her, swallowing the rest of his tears her. Educated by the Bavarian family, she was accustomed to suppressing her emotions. Who skillfully concealed her heartache, calmly opened her mouth.
“I know why you talk that way, Lapel. I understand. But you are my only husband, and I consider you a precious family member.
Annette's her eyes her, which were redder than usual, smiled heartily.Then, Rafel, who was looking up at her with a disapproving expression on her face her, stubbornly repeated what she said earlier.
“Still, I…… I hate you too.”
Hearing those words, Annette's breath her she sought to choke, Before she could lose her expression, she quickly got her body up and got under her bed, She said that this marriage was better than before, and she must have been the only one who readily accepted it.
Back in her roomHer her, Annette had trouble sleeping all night.She was determined to defend Lapel by fighting against her parents 'TyrannyHer her.But after hearing about Rafel's drunkenness of her, she changed her mind a bit.
'Is it possible for me to keep Lapel in the first place? He…… They're suffering because of me.'
In fact, there was only one most effective solution. I just didn't want to admit it.
In order for Rafel's life to be easier, Annette had to leave him. Then, even at her parents' house, she wouldn't be able to use Annette as an excuse to ask Rafel for something. Besides, since you won't have to see your own face you don't like anymore, Lapel will be much more stable.
Annette smiled bitterly. Unlike most people, she has lived her life twice, but Annette has never lived it to the fullest. He tried his best every moment, but why couldn't he just get away with the treatment he always cared for. A night that made me sadder for no reason because I remembered the cold face of his old father whom I hadn't seen.
'Okay, let's find a way starting tomorrow.'
He could not dream of a new life without any preparation or direction. Even if she returned and got better than before, Annette was originally a flower in a greenhouse. That he doesn't dry up like he did in his previous life.
Annette tried to fall asleep, wiping down her wet eyelashes with sadness. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.
The next day, Rafel woke up in bed clutching his brittle head. Because of a terrible hangover and sleepwalking, I was in the worst condition because I was constantly sleeping. Was obtained only with the tip of the sword.
'It's not long before I become a sword master.'
Lafel put on his training clothes and washed his face with terribly tired eyes.The final stage blocking his eyes he seemed to have no intention of collapsing at all.Rafel knew of countless swordsmen who could not get past this last step.So he was even more anxious.
The reflection of his face on the shimmering basin was pitiful. The area around his blue eyes his was bloodshot, and his beard his was thick and his complexion his was dull. Even Annette Bavaria, who pretended to be nice to her, would surely hate her if she saw her like this.
Come to think of it, he seemed to have seen Annette before going to bed yesterday. I could not remember the conversation she had with her, but it seemed like her tears were falling from Annette's petal-like eyes in her. Rafel unconsciously looked down at his palm hers. The feeling that was already dirty just got worse for no reason.
“Damn it.”
In fact, Annette was doing better than he thought. Although he came from a proud Bavarian family, he was not aggressive and respected himself as his husband, even though he was only his illegitimate son. Respects to the amazing patience of not getting angry no matter how mean I uttered.
Seeing that Annette even showed tears, it seemed that she was drunk yesterday and spoke rather harsh words. Rafel smiled bitterly at her, thinking she would have nothing to say to her if she got divorced. A part of her heart creepy, but it must have been because of her mood her.
Lapel's footsteps, which were going downstairs, stopped abruptly. It was because he could see Annette sitting at the window of the drawing-room near the front door, humming softly into his song her. Annette stopped his hum her just like a lie.
'Are you angry?'
Rafel looked at her with her expressionless face. It was only natural for her to be hated for her drunken late arrival her and her husband her who lashed out at her abusively. As he waited for Annette to turn away from him, he clenched his fists as if involuntarily impatient.
That was the moment.Annette, who was looking this way, smiled as if nothing had happened.There was no resentment towards herself in the corner of his eyes that curved in goodness.Annette rose from her seat and moved toward him. Step by step.
Rafel looked at her in silence as she got closer, unable to say anything. Before long she stopped in front of him and Annette greeted her kindly.
“Hello, Lapel. Did you sleep well? How are you feeling?”
Lapel's clenched fists gained a little more strength. What kind of mood is this woman in when she speaks to herself while smiling at herself?
