Chapter 54
The relationship between Rafel and Ludwig, the twin brothers, has been quite complicated since before.
In terms of age, Rafel was a couple of years older, but he was an illegitimate child. And Ludwig was a descendant of a noble royal family. He had the same father, but the position of the two was the difference between heaven and earth In a word, if Ludwig was the light, Lapel was no different from the shadow cast behind him.
That's why Rafel didn't want to marry Annette. He is Ludwig's substitute. It was terrible that she was a woman from Bavaria, much less pedantic. Lapel and Bayern were literally at odds. Nothing less.
'But now…….'
I hate to admit it, but Annette was special. The tears falling from her eyes were like hot candle wax dripping over his heart her. At first she thought she had taken on the gunpowder, but she now sees that it was her treasure that was lost. It's like snooping around on such a subject late and snooping on her other person's wife her. Naturally, Rafel's gaze at Ludwig was cold.
“Annette is now my wife. And it's uncomfortable to run into Your Highness. She has a decent fiancee, so I don't know why she keeps doing this. Would His Majesty know about this?”
As the words of his father his flowed out of Rafel's mouth, Ludwig laughed as if it was absurd.A sharp reply naturally flowed from Ludwig's mouth as he leaned against the wall.
“I didn't know that at my age, I had to get permission from my father to go around. I was just going to attend her party with her fiancé her, but she canceled so I came alone.”
“Under! You're making excuses that even a child won't believe. Then, don't you have her her business her with her her, my wife, I'll take her her her and leave her after her.”
Rafel smiled and tried to turn his back. Then Ludwig, who had not yet met Annette, became impatient. He pretended otherwise, but it was true that he had come here to run into Annette. But she's going to take her away from her. Ludwig's judgment was twisted at Lafel's words, as if Annette belonged to him.
“Why, now, are you afraid that even if I look at you, you will take away her wife her? You were the one who whined at your father about not wanting to get married. He said he didn't like snake-like Bavarian women, why? Now I see she had a taste for snakes? It's ridiculous to say things like this and that.”
A look of anger appeared on Rafel's face as he turned around. He was the type to put his fists ahead of his words in the first place. But this time the opponent wasn't very good. If he had attained sword mastery, he would have had a chance to strike at least one, but he wasn't in a position to do that just yet. It was clear that King Celgratis would not forgive Rapel for assaulting the Crown Prince. So, Rafel put his arms around him and smirked as he tried to hold back his fist, which seemed to be going out at any moment.
“If you're so precious, why didn't you do well in the beginning? Unlike me, didn't Your Highness know early on that Annette was falsely accused? Knowing this, but not doing anything, Annette must have fallen out of love. Now she has no regrets or feelings for Her Highness her the Crown Prince.”
“What about you? Do you think Annette loves you? You're welcome. She is a noble and delicate woman. She does, but there's no way she'll like a ruffian like you.”
Ludwig, who had been stabbed in a sore spot, gritted his teeth and mocked Lapel. As Ludwig, an enemy of the royal family, looked down at him with contempt, Rafel's chin tightened. He was disgusted with Ludwig's selfish to take back Annette, even though she was born with a good fetus and had everything. So Rafel shamelessly scratched Ludwig's stomach, completely letting go of her conscience of his.
“No. Annette likes me. A lot of it too. She must have felt it too, Her Highness? If she hadn't liked me, she would have been in his arms long ago when Your Highness held out her hand. Well, she would like a real man like me if she had her eyes to see her too.”
The corner of Rafel's mouth went up meanwhile as he laughed at Ludwig, her body his. Trauma of being rejected by Annette, lost his temper of his. He gritted his teeth and immediately grabbed Lapel's collar.
“Shut that mouth!! What are you saying you know? You don't know anything!! About her, about her, about our relationship!!!”
Rafel looked at Ludwig's face her, who was holding her by the collar, with her dead eyes.In his dark blue eyes, in his features stained with anger, I could see parts that resembled him.Maybe that's why I felt worse.
“Oops. Even if I don't know anything, I know this one thing well.”
Lapel, who slowly raised his hand, grabbed Ludwig's hand as if to crush it. Ludwig's face contorted in pain at that incredible grip. Lapel, who had been wielding a sword all his life, and Ludwig, who played the lute and held a pen , were incomparable in the first place. In the end, Ludwig had to let go of the hand that gripped Lapel's collar due to the pain of breaking his knuckles.
At that moment, Lapel grabbed Ludwig by the shoulder and pushed him against the wall. Now, Lapel's elbow and forearm were pressing hard against Ludwig's neck his. I felt like I was being suffocated between the wall and Lapel's body his. Ludwig struggled to free himself from that ruthless grip, but Rafel didn't budge. In that state, Lapel, who lowered his head and pressed his face close to Ludwig, spat out like a growl.
“It is foolish to attack someone stronger than you. Especially when the two of you are alone.”
“Hey… Suck…!!”
Ludwig glared at him with bloodshot eyes and grabbed Lapel's collar.As I desperately pulled on it, the collar of the lapel tore with a loud sound.Just then, Annette, who had squeezed through a crack in the curtains, saw them.
“Lapel… Oh my goodness!!”
Annette's pupils looked. At first glance, it seemed that Rafel and Ludwig were not arguing, but sharing some passionate adult passion. Lafel was casting a 'wall hit' on Ludwig, and Ludwig stretched out his hand and ripped Lafel's clothes. Situation where you put her face her close and hot eyes come and go.
'My, did I interrupt?'
An earthquake shook Annette's pupils.She was about to turn right back.If she had n't heard their quarrel coming through the curtain, she might not have.Fortunately, Lapel, who noticed Annette's presence her first, untied her hand. Her her and let Ludwig go.
“Annette.”
Rafel's call, conscious of Ludwig, was especially friendly than usual. Ludwig, who was clutching her own neck and squeezing, looked this way. The moment Annette entered his eyes his, Ludwig's expression suddenly turned 180 degrees. , Suddenly called out to Annette with a sad face.
“Annette….”
Ludwig, whose expression was blurred as if crying, stumbled closer to Annette and collapsed. Annette, who saw this, was surprised and hurried to help Ludwig.
“Oh my goodness! Your Highness, are you okay?”
“A seizure, I think I'm going to have another seizure…… It hurts.”
Ludwig, leaning his head on Annette's arm, threw his head back and wheezed. Lapel was taken aback by Ludwig's sudden pity for her as if she didn't care about her. He was so bubbly that he tore off the hem of his clothes just a moment ago.
'What the hell is that manipulative man doing?'
Rafel's eyebrows furrowed in distress. It was clear to anyone that Ludwig was playing tricks. Annette, however, took care of him with a worried face as if she had been seduced by the trick.
“Breathe in slowly, Your Highness. The faster you breathe because you're anxious, the worse the condition will get. Don't worry and tilt your head further.”
“It hurts, Annette… Whoops, whoops.”
Ludwig moistened his eyes and rubbed his cheek against Annette's arm her. It must have been pride, nabal, and guilt thrown away. Seeing this in front of his eyes, Lafel was literally speechless. In the eyes of Rafel, who believes that men must be masculine, seeing Ludwig like that was a culture shock itself.
In my mind, I wanted to kick Ludwig right away and tell him to stop acting But even with Ludwig's status her, he could n't act like that in front of Annette So how would he see himself in Annette's her eyes her?
'They would think I'm a savage without blood or tears.'
Rafel gritted his teeth and endured his stomach turning. But Annette was wise too. Annette, who supported Ludwig's head well with the shawl she was wearing, stood up.
“Lapel, I'll go and get someone. Until then, watch over Her Highness her.”
In fact, if he thought of Ludwig, he'd better stay and take care of him, and let Rafel go and get someone. However, Annette did not want to wait alone with Ludwig on the balcony, which is mainly used for 'Tease Me'. If that happened, it would be perfect for people to gossip about it. It would have been a much wiser choice to leave Rafel and Ludwig alone.
“Sure. Trust me, Annette. I will take very good care of you.”
A very bright smile appeared on Rafel's lips. Seeing his smile her, Annette somehow felt uncomfortable because she felt like she was leaving the mouse and cat alone. And went out and called for people.
“Here, His Highness the Crown Prince has fallen!
