Chapter 39
Annette, with her cold face, looked at Ludwig with her clear eyes, Her flowing, smooth objection Her pierced Ludwig's heart.
“If you didn't want me to get married like that, you shouldn't have run away together. Or would you work behind the scenes to prevent an arranged marriage? If you had at least made an effort to clear the name I wrote At the time, I don't think I would be so angry now.”
Ludwig said she loved her, but she still did n't notice the bandage on her other hand her her.At least she noticed that even with Lylene she was only in a business relationship.
Ludwig was always the one complaining about her pain, and Annette was the one accepting it. It has always been like that for nearly ten years. So Ludwig seemed to have forgotten that she, too, could be sick like himself. Annette said coldly, suppressing her soaring emotions of her.
“I am also a person who can be hurt, Your Highness. If you really wanted to marry me, Your Highness shouldn't have. So stop admitting your cowardice and let me go. So that I can start a new life.”
It was only after hearing Annette's words that Ludwig realized belatedly.He was fooling around too much with Annette.Annette, who Ludwig remembers, always had a gentle smile and listened to his worries and anxieties her her wholeheartedly.Was natural.
But now, the Annette in front of her had an unfamiliar face. With his emotionless eyes and cold expression of her, as if he were treating others, he did not seem to be the Annette he knew. She didn't blink an eye as She watched Ludwig gasp in her pain. Seeing that warm gaze, Ludwig opened his mouth, desperately trying to make an excuse.
“Annette, I did my best. I don't know how many times I begged my father that you couldn't be like that, and that I couldn't do it without you. But I'm not convinced… ….”
“No, Your Highness.”
Annette boldly cut off Ludwig's excuses. It was already five years ago for her when she regressed. She thought she had forgotten all of that, but she didn't seem to have forgotten. Annette's tone her, as she refused Ludwig's excuses point by point , was slightly divided.
“It would be correct to say that I did not do my best, but only put on a show. If you want to save a dying person, shouldn't you either swim in yourself or throw a lifeline? Should I do!” While stamping my feet from afar doesn't mean I did my best. Isn't it?”
Annette thought she would marry Ludwig right from her childhood. Young boys and girls who had been paired up early had only each other. The belief that she had been naive, and the feeling of betrayal she felt when that expectation was broken, was so bitter that she felt like vomiting blood.
Annette, of course, was well aware of Ludwig's weakness for her father. But even so, he never thought he would give up so easily. I didn't know that I would turn away this soon. After a few weak protests, it was none other than Ludwig himself who pretended to win and accepted the new engagement.
Nevertheless, Annette was not angry with him. It wasn't just because Ludwig was the crown prince. It was simply because he knew that getting angry with Ludwig wouldn't change anything. Bondi Ludwig was indecisive and weak-minded. With someone like that because he won't be on my side? Only the mouth on the side speaking hurt.
So Annette endured it.He calmly let go of his anger at her, which had no meaning to be released.However, it made Ludwig hurriedly bring out his past emotions and old feelings of betrayal.But it was also true that he felt relieved inside her. Annette slammed him to the last wedge.
“And if you have even a little respect for me, please. Please don't talk about my husband that way ever again. Rafel is a nice man, and despite my bad circumstances, he was willing to take me as his wife. He is my family. No one ever criticizes the family in front of them. Do you understand me?”
Ludwig was completely at a loss for words. Now Annette's attitude of drawing a line, saying that her family her is lapel, was so painful that her fingertips her were all numb. The one she is the furthest away from her. The fact pierced her heart, and tears flowed down her cheeks her incessantly.
Annette was right. He himself was complacent and cowardly. And in return, he let go of Annette's hand her forever. No matter how much tears I shed or how foolish I was, I couldn't go back to my old relationship. Frustrating that even though I was standing on the ground, I felt as if I was constantly sinking into the swamp. Annette said goodbye to Ludwig, who stared blankly at her.
“I would appreciate it if you could forgive me if I did anything rude. I dare you to ask, I hope that after today, I will never see you again for personal business. Then I'll just leave.”
After finishing his words her, Annette turned around.Showing your back without permission from the royal family was originally disrespect for the royal family.But it seemed like it could be a little disrespectful today.Nothing.
It wasn't that Ludwig wasn't heartbroken when he saw Ludwig weeping with his face distorted. Ludwig, whom she had been with since childhood, was sometimes like her family of hers, and he was also an old childhood friend of hers. Felt sorry for Ludwig, who was suffering from not being recognized by his father. So he wanted to stay by his side of him, even if it was just him.
However, it was Ludwig who let go first, and their relationship ended there. Annette moved lightly like a butterfly leaving a flower. Ludwig could not catch her or force her to dare with her now.
He could n't help but watch her receding back her, unable to do anything like when Annette was framed.Until the last tears in your bewildered eyes scatter and dry.

“I'm back, honey.”
Upon returning home, Annette accidentally bumped into Lapel, who was wandering around the front door, She smiled and greeted me affectionately, Then the broad shoulders of her lapels, her jerked, and in her oddly awkward motion, she turned towards her.
“Here you are.”
Lapel's expression as he looked at her Annette was very strange. He glanced at Annette at her, unable to make eye contact with her. But the problem was that all these actions were clumsy and showed signs of it. Others her, so she was awkward.
Annette wondered why he was doing this He glanced at him as if he had something to say, but his firm mouth her her was tightly shut Annette, who tilted her head, finally asked Rafel a question.
“What's wrong, Lapel? Did you get anything on my face?”
“… No. You're tired, so go in and rest.”
Lapel, who sneaked away from Annette's gaze, strode upstairs. Annette, who was left alone on the porch, looked at his back with her bewildered eyes. Because of Rafel's strange attitude of his, he wondered if he had noticed that he had run into Ludwig. But if that was the case, Rafel would have been angry. Because he was the type that never put any disturbance into it.
'Thank god. They must not know that I ran into Her Highness Ludwig.'
Annette was relieved, and he decided to be more careful in the future. In his previous life, because of being framed in various ways, his mind was unstable, and he even had a slight phobia of people. Go out well. Here he was weak even to the body. It was close to impossible to socialize with a body that would often fall ill.
Because of this, Annette never met Crown Prince Ludwig after her marriage her in her previous life.However, he was anxious about running into him again and again in his current life.How will this change affect the future?Annette was worried about that.
'Shouldn't I have listened to Mr. Raileen's advice?'
Annette recalled Lylene's advice to go out the back door to avoid being a nuisance. Indeed, it could not be anything but amazing intelligence and guts. No matter how big the back world is, he dismissed Ludwig, the crown prince, as a mere ' annoyance'. Contrary to her pretty face her, Rylin was a great person with a lot of liver.
Annette made up her mind that she would pay close attention to Lailin's words from now on. She trudged her weary body up into the bedroom. After she had spoken out to Ludwig all the words that had been on her mind her, she felt relieved and exhausted.
After bathing in warm water, Annette fell into a deep sleep as if fainting.That's why she did n't notice Rafel's presence in her as he sneaked into the bed today.
'He really sleeps like he's dead.'
Lapel, who was lying on her side of her, looked down at the sleeping Annette with one arm resting on her head her. At this point, she might get tired of it, but strangely, she did n't get tired of looking at Annette's face in her. Lapel, who had been looking down at Annette with her strange eyes for a while, suddenly muttered:
“I am a family…….”
It was. Rafel had already interrogated Annette's maid, Mary, to get a rough idea of her whereabouts her. Of course, as much as Annette went to visit her secret guild her, Secret, she did not reveal the exact destination her. But her beastly sense of her rappel her, her gears her, succeeded in tracking her down.
Fortunately, her fate was on Annette's side of her, and Rapel did not see the 'Secrit'guild. It was because she had arrived on the scene a little late, having been doing a random search of her obscure range her, which her maid had told her to do. Thanks to this, by the time Rafel found Annette, she had already escaped Secret.
But her problem she was her she was that her her her other man her her Ludwig was standing next to her.
'What happened to this?'
In fact, at first, Rafel almost misunderstood that Annette was having a tryst with Ludwig. She was, in fact, what she was, too. The moment he saw Annette facing Ludwig, Lafel literally felt her blood her run cold. Was far from a try.
“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!!”
The moment she heard Ludwig's shouts from a distance, Rafel felt relieved.Annette was not cheating on her back her.Rather, he said it was close to rejecting the squishy Ludwig.Lafel could n't figure out why she was so glad she knew this.
But things were n't over yet Rafel narrowed her eyes and waited for Annette's next reaction to her Annette was staring at such Ludwig with an expression that he did not know what was inside her no reason.
Why is she not answering anything?Rafel felt her heart her her beat her strangely and tinnitus ringing in her ears her her.This was a physical abnormality that was not like a rapel approaching a sword master.
'Should I rather run away now?'
Lafel was afraid to hear Annette's answer to her, which was about to follow. What if she really breaks her heart her? What if it was all a lie that she preferred marrying him rather than being the Crown Princess? And chooses the perfect-blooded Ludwig?
