Chapter 38
Annette, who listened to Lylene's advice to her, stopped her steps to her and pondered for a moment. Go through the back door, what the hell are you talking about? It would have been easier to choose if Raileen had been more specific, but he only grinned maliciously.
Annette raised her chin proudly, as if protesting this.And he declared with an aristocratic figure that was ingrained in his body to the bone of her.
“As I lived, I realized that just avoiding problems is not a good thing. So I'm going to go out the front door. Whatever awaits me there, it will also be a challenge for me to face.”
Rylin said, 'Please do as you please,' and bowed her waist. He thought that Annette would regret it, but he had no intention of hinting at it. As she said, sometimes there are things you need to see in person to know A grumpy smile caught on Lylene's coquettish lips as she lowered her head.
Annette, unaware of this, pulled her hat her tightly over his face her. And he headed for the front door with a confident step. Whatever he was waiting there, he was determined to solve it with his own power his. The front door, regretted it as Raileen said in less than five minutes.
'I'll just go out the back door!'
She wanted to punch herself from 5 minutes ago. Of course, avoiding it didn't solve all the problems. But sometimes there are problems that are better avoided. For example, like Crown Prince Ludwig looking at himself in front of him.
“Annette.”
Ludwig, who pulled down his long silver hair her, called her name her cautiously. His graceful face his, which seemed to be made of silver, was distorted as if he would cry at any moment. Seeing this, Annette wanted to cry as well Why did she keep saying this to herself, leaving Celestine, her fiancée her, who was fine with her?
“Annette, I'm sorry. I just… 100 million!!”
Crown Prince Ludwig, who was approaching with a sad expression, bumped into a boulevard tree and grabbed her forehead of her. He was a tall man with silver hair and beautiful features. Sometimes I wondered if he was really a prince who came out of a fairy tale. However, unlike that perfect appearance, Ludwig's amazing talent was that his nose would be broken even if he fell backwards on the bare floor.
Annette thought it was really ironic that Ludwig, who was so tall, was Rafel's half-brother, worthy of a sword master.She calmly placed a handkerchief on Ludwig's forehead while thinking about her thoughts about her.
“Your Highness, how did you know about this place? Could it be that you followed me?”
Annette's voice was soft as she addressed the crown prince, but her eyes and toneHer were quite determined.No wonder Annette was wearing a veiled hat to visit Secret.Therefore, not even her neckHer was exposed, let alone her faceHer of her.
Nevertheless, as soon as Ludwig saw him, he called out by name,'Annette.'I couldn't even see her face her, but to recognize her, I couldn't believe it was something like 'Amazing, the power of love !' Rather, the hypothesis that Annette followed him from the time he went out was more credible.
Annette, whose personal information was stolen today, had a very wary expression on her face. As a married woman of hers, there was nothing good about her being constantly entangled with Ludwig. Ludwig, who noticed Annette's rejection of her, couldn't come any closer and gave a lonely look.
“Annette. What I'm doing will be a nuisance to you. I know very well. However…… It was so painful that I couldn't stand it. There is no one I can pour out my heart to Annette, if it wasn't for you.”
Ludwig lowered his silver eyelashes sadly.A feeling of loneliness and pain passed through his blue eyes Her.It was the kind of look that would make any woman feel maternal love and comfort her.Annette, however, gently refused Ludwig's words without much agitation .
“Your Highness has someone else who is going to be his fiancee his. Not only that, there are many people who want to consult with Her Highness on his worries her in this Deltium. It's only because His Highness did n't allow this. Please open your heart and find new connections. Human relationships are important.”
“That's because you don't know! Celestine, she really… She is so different from you can't even compare I am Annette. She couldn't possibly think of her as her, my, her fiancé her. . . . .”
As Ludwig was speaking, emotions welled up and tears welled up in his eyes. Close to an artist, he was basically sensitive and anxious. So Annette always calmly comforted Ludwig by her side her. And to be honest…
'It was an emotional trash can.'
Annette judged calmly. What if Ludwig had gotten along with his new fiancée his, Celestine Keers? He probably wouldn't have had anything to cling to himself like he does now. Annette wondered if Ludwig really liked her as a woman, or if he was just leaning on and relying on her as if he were following her mother her. Well, either way it didn't matter anymore.
“Annette, please. Don't push me away so coldly. If even you do this to me, really I…….”
Tears flowed from Ludwig's wide blue eyes as if in agony.He carefully took Annette's hand her up with his trembling hand and placed her forehead on the back of it.It seemed that he was praying to Annette, and also begging.Because of Ludwig's beautiful features of his, he seemed even reverent.
But Annette was not weak. He was in the position of coming to the Smuggling Guild with the intention of leaving Rapel, but that and this were separate issues. She herself was still Rafel's wife. She had to hurt either of them anyway, it was the right choice for her to hurt Ludwig, not Lapel.
“Majesty. I feel sorry for the pain Your Highness is experiencing right now. I hope that Your Highness will find peace of mind and be happy. Seriously. But I can't be that way. I am already married to Rafel.”
Annette pulled out Ludwig's hand with a kind but attitude determined. And she took a step back from him. She was a polite line drawing that couldn't be better. She accepted Ludwig's complaint, but she later realized that she did not want to be Misunderstood by Lapel. That was the kind of thing an immature child with 'good girl disease' would do.
Ludwig, who let go of Annette's hand her, slowly looked at his empty hand, her in the air, His breathing his quickened, and a mad despair flashed across his beautiful face, Ludwig , with a distorted face, shouted as if crying.
“That bastard's lapel, lapel!! Everyone just talks about him. Rather, how much better it would have been if he had been the crown prince. At least, even the king said that!!!”
Ludwig's bloodshot blue eyes looked terribly like Lapel's.It was rare for the always quiet Ludwig to shout like this.The pain in his hearthis his as he tore his own beautiful silver hair seemed more excruciating than the pain in his bodyhis his his.
“Then what was I born for? If it wasn't for me, Rafel would have been a worthy successor to the throne!! He took everything from me Obama's infidelity, public reputation, even you Annette… !!”
Annette, hearing Ludwig's sad cry her, sighed inwardly. Apparently, King Celgratis had compared Ludwig to Rapel again. He was a relatively good king, but he was never a good father.
Selgratis was displeased with the fact that the only crown prince had a terrible body, and that he was a musician who liked to play the lute. Perhaps that's why he compared Ludwig to his illegal son, Rafel, and often insulted him. Ludwig, who had a soft-hearted corner, suffered greatly from his father's attitude. Still, he craved the approval of his father. That was the main thing that drove Ludwig crazy.
“Tell me, Annette. Do you think Lafel is more competent than me? So let me come… Are you mercilessly knocking it down? Compared to that great Lapel Kanesis, I'm not even a man!!”
A tear slowly flowed from Ludwig's blue eyes his.In this place where he came to comfort his wounded heart his,he was hurt even more.Because Annette rejected him.Since childhood when they first met each other,she had been Ludwig's one and only companion her. At least she was always like that to Ludwig. Annette's suggestion that she drove Ludwig to the extreme.
Hearing his shout her, Annette quietly lowered her eyes. Ludwig was not a bad person. However, he was a weak person and had a strong tendency to be somewhat mentally dependent. Annette was originally kind to those who leaned on her, but he couldn't 't 't be that way anymore. It was because Ludwig kept biting off the lapel.
Rafel also did not have a comfortable life. He seemed like a man who lacked nothing but blood. He was protected by the king, was good at swordsmanship, had a tall figure, and was even a marquis. Bones. Annette's eyes her, knowing this well, cooled.
“His Highness Ludwig.”
Annette's cold voice, which she had never heard before, called his name. The moment he raised his head and met her eyes her, Ludwig was taken aback. , Who changed the atmosphere of the conversation just by calling her name her once, opened her mouth.
“To be honest, I don't quite understand this situation. As you know, I was innocently framed, and at the time Your Highness let go of me. Of course, I am well aware that the situation was unfavorable at the time. But no matter how it was, Your Highness should have protected me. If only I had been so precious to Your Highness. Isn't it?”
“Annette, that… Listen to me, then I…….”
“No, Your Highness must listen to me. At the time, Your Highness was afraid of His Majesty's wrath His and eventually gave up on me. I was expelled from the Crown Princess candidate for that, and in the end, I even got into an arranged marriage as if I was being sold. Who knows, isn't I the biggest victim in this situation? But instead of presenting You, I tried to understand. But why is Your Highness now trying to reprimand me?”
Annette's tone was neither particularly excited nor angry. She laid out her own argument in her calm tone, as if she were reading her own book her. However, listening to Ludwig, he felt as if he had been hit in the stomach with every word he said. It hurts terribly.
But Annette did n't stop there.Her quiet anger her she had just begun.
