Chapter 47
Instead of answering her question, Allah made took a cigar from his arms her and placed it in his mouth his. The cigars he enjoyed smoking were of the highest quality supplied to the royal family, but it was only painful for non-smokers. Annette took a step back and turned his head. The heavy, bitter smell of cigars seemed to throb his lungs of her.
Allamand burned his cigar just for his pleasure his, as always, whether his daughter his was in distress or not. It was a long-awaited and beautiful night party, but the only thing that flowed between her father and daughter was silence and strong smoke It was about the time he had smoked half of his thick cigar. As if recalling the existence of Annette, who had suddenly forgotten, Allamand spat out.
“Why did you come alone?”
“He is busy with business…… Ah.”
Annette inadvertently tried to spit out a prepared answer.As I explained to the people I met at the party today.To her, Allah was no different from her emotionally.At that moment, a thought flashed through Annette's mind.Open, asked Ala Mand .
“You came here to meet Rafel. Yes? He was supposed to attend with me. What the hell is he going to say to him?”
Allamand made no reply.Only the cigar burned red between his bloodless lips Her.Seeing this, Annette's face Her contorted as if she was laughing or crying without knowing it.At this point, I'd rather be glad that Rafel didn't attend the party.
It seems that Rafel did not properly announce his intention to 'absent' to the Marquis of Elroch. Had it been so, when the writers were distributing the last attendee list after El Roque, she would have expelled Lapel. Walked in vain here either.
Of course, Rafel didn't know this, but he unintentionally ended up cheating on Allamand. No one in Deltium, not even the King, had ever hit Allamand Bavaria. If Rafel had known this, he would have laughed wildly at the revealing of his teeth his, but unfortunately he was not here. Allamand, who was informed of her purpose by Annette, laughed as she threw away her finished cigar.
“It's really useful. Was that shallow illegitimate bastard good to you? Contrary to his promiscuity, he is quite a family man. Seeing the strength in your withered neck is so admirable.”
At her father's mockery her, Annette felt an unknown rage. He has been raising Annette like a doll since childhood, forcing her to obey. On such a subject, when Annette defied him with her head stiffly raised, she said, 'Now I can use it.' In that contradictory attitude, Annette felt skeptical about her childhood.
Either way, Allamanda was not interested in her feelings Her As always Her Allah Mand her who rubbed the tip of her toe on the remaining fire of her cigar her looked at her with her snake- cold eyes.Her inner thoughts of her.
“Hmm. Or vice versa? That illegal son behaves like a dog, and it seems that you have become poisoned by trying to live on your own. Is not it?”
“Don't call my husband that way ever again. It's unpleasant. He doesn't deserve that kind of insult.”
Annette said in a low voice, suppressing her refusal of her. I hated that Allamand's classy accent pronounced lapel contemptuously, like a street slob. Naturally, a cold hostility like frost appeared on Annette's face her. She was a kitten with her claws out of her.
“Oops. It seems my daughter has forgotten all of her teachings of her.”
Allah Mand took a step closer to her Annette and reached out her right hand and squeezed her by the shoulder. Her cold, strong fingertips her brutally dug into the gap between Annette's shoulder blades her. Hissing threat pierced her ears.
“You've become very aggressive since you left home. How dare you side with that filthy bastard in front of me. Could it be that he trusts him and doesn't act so aggressive? Dare to stand in front of me.”
Allah Mand's hand gave her strength as if it would dislocate her shoulder blades at any moment Annette steadfastly looked up into his eyes her, gasping for her pain her.
“Lapel…… It doesn't matter. Don't insult him And I already know what his father wants. Whatever it is, don't try to take anything away from Rafel. He would never give it to his father.”
“How dare you say that you know what? You know nothing! Being stupid is taking the wrong side.”
A cruel light passed by Allamand's eyes as he spoke as if he was spitting out.Even if he dislocated Annette's shoulder her here, nobody said anything.Even if there was, it was over when Alla Mand looked around with her noble face as if it was no big deal. Simply because he is Annette's father her.
Annette closed her eyes tightly, prepared for the pain to come Her body Her trembled with fear At that moment A strong arm stretched out from her side Her and squeezed Alamand's wrist her tightly.
“Get your hands off my wife.”
Rafel, who had approached me before I knew it, grew with a murderous face. It wasn't just the words, but Lapel's grip on Allamand's arm was holding an enormous grip.
“This vulgar bastard dares to put his hands on me…!!”
“If you don't keep your hands off Annette, this vulgar fellow will break his arm. Father-in-law.”
Rafel raised the corners of her mouth and thrust her face right in front of Ala Mand's nose. Furious, Allah Mand twisted his wrists around, but he could not stand the strong young Lapel. As Lapel applied force as if to crush his arm his, Allamand groaned and removed his hand his from Annette's shoulder hers. Then, as if Lapel showed off, he threw away Allamand's wrist and embraced Annette.
“Are you okay, Annette?”
“It's okay. Thank you, Lapel.”
As if to block his own front his, Sun Rapel's shoulders were firm. The moment he saw that strong back his, it felt as if his fears he were washed away. Annette smiled bashfully, her face pale with pain. Seeing Annette's face like that , Lafel clicked her tongue and touched her cheek.
“Anyway, taking your eyes off hurts. A woman like you is unexpectedly dishonest.”
Annette, dressed up, took her laugh, then she patted her lips, regretting that her smile, she was gone, if she knew it would be like this, she would n't bruise, she could n't figure out why she kept saying blunt things to Annette.
Allamand, who was watching the scene from afar, gnashed his teeth. I'm angry that I was pushed by my son-in-law, but those bitches were ignoring me and chatting. The blue-blooded Bayern never tolerated being ignored by others This was especially true of Allamand, who had lived arrogantly all his life.
“It's not even funny what you do. Are you going to play a friendly couple game now?”
“There is nothing I can do. Isn't this all thanks to my father who married me to Rafel?
Annette, regaining her composure, responded in her soft voice to her. When it was decided to silence Annette for the sake of family honor, Allamand felt the need to curry favor with the royal family. To Rafel, whom the king cherished. Of course, he had never sought Annette's consent her in all of this.
Annette was blatantly sarcastic about this. Allamand's face contorted with extreme anger. The face of his, which had always been smooth and cold, bared his teeth of his, and now he looked a little human. .
“Looks like you got along really well. Then, Annette, you know, right? How great the elders of your in-laws are.”
“… What else are you talking about?”
Rapel grew at the words of Allamand, who suddenly attacked his birth. Allamand was used to making fun of his illegal parentage his, and it was even boring. But Annette thought that her father's words were a bit different than usual. Sarcastic about Rafel's origins , as he had always been, but he seemed to be bringing up something else.
“In-law… Are you old? Are you referring to His Majesty Celgratis?”
Annette asked in a wary manner. As far as she knew, her only relative her from her rappel she was her biological father her, King Selgratis. Little was known about Rafel's mother her, but it was clear that she was not of this world. So Annette's question was the most appropriate one to come out of this situation.
But Allamand seemed to have sensed from her words that Annette still did not know something her A cold smile appeared on Allamand's face after he regained his composure Allah Mand, with a look of sympathy for her, cast her bait in front of her.
“Oh, my poor daughter. You haven't heard anything from him yet, have you? What a wicked son-in-law. Hiding my private parts, and bewitching and dying my innocent daughter.”
“What are you talking about?”
“That nasty coachman who framed you. Name, yes Was it Ivan?”
“…Why is Ivan's story coming up all of a sudden?”
Feeling foreboding, Annette's voice her gradually began to tremble. Rafel's face her, which she glanced back at, was puzzled because he did n't know what this meant. Although he was a man of many secrets, he was not a good liar. If Rafel was hiding anything about her Ivan her, she'd somehow get a burn on her face her.
Seeing Rafel's face her, Annette made up her mind again. Whatever words were coming out of Allah Mand's mouth now, she must have been trying to agitate Annette. Even if that was a shocking fact, it was fine as long as Rafel wasn't cheating on him.
'It won't be a big deal. My father must be plotting again.'
Annette braced her trembling chin and faced Allamand resolutely. Lapel placed her hand her on her shoulder her as if to protect her her. Then Allah Mand looked with her contempt at their faces her, even dressed to her. Before long, a horrifyingly friendly voice Flowed from Allamand's pale lips.
“I guess you didn't know, my daughter. Ivan's real name is Ben March. And he's also your husband's only maternal uncle. To you… Yes, maybe you will become an out-of-town uncle.”
What do you mean? Annette's face went white. There was a vague premonition that Rafel's maternal side might not be noble. But she could never have had anything to do with Ivan. She couldn't believe it at all. Rafel and Ivan did not have a single resemblance to the naked eye. Yes, there must have been some misunderstanding.
Annette turned her unsteady head to look at Lapel.However, Lapel's face was also white.The moment she saw that complexion, she Annette's heart sank.She stuttered involuntarily and asked.
“This, this… What do you mean, Lapel? City… Are you an outsider? Ivan really, your… ?”
Upon receiving Annette's question, Lafel's deep blue eyes froze. It was clear that she had a clue about something. What Allamand said must be the truth. The moment she realized this, something collapsed inside Annette.
