Chapter 57
It was late afternoon when Annette opened her eyes again. Her muscular male forearms of her were quite heavy as they hugged her body of her. Annette blinked her blank eyes as she realized she had slept through the afternoon. Night, dark black hair seemed to hang in front of her eyes, and her hot lips touched her eyes her.
“Woke up. Aren't you hungry?”
The man's voice, which had a languid aftertaste of love affair, was thick and made it feel even more sexy. Lapel, who spoke to her more affectionately than usual, pressed her lips down to her temples again. Annette, who had finally awakened from her slumber at the touch her, gently raised her upper body her. The events of her morning flashed in her mind.
'Oh, right. We fell asleep together last night and in the morning…….'
Annette remembered that right after the ball, she was driving back in the carriage until she fell asleep. But after that, her lapel hugged her and carried her to her bedroom her, and she did not know that she secretly lay down next to her and slept. Thanks to her, from the morning she was rubbing in search of her body temperature her and was hot. As Annette lowered her head and brushed, Lapel, who was lying down next to her, raised her body her and examined her complexion her.
“Why? Are you feeling sick?”
Lapel checked her Annette's complexion her wonder if she had hugged her too roughly Annette did not reject Lapel's touch her and looked up at him A man who satisfies his desires her his was quite lenient towards his her woman his her.
Annette didn't like Lapel's whims, who were nice to her again.I thought a physical relationship would be better.Only then would he be able to find a new life without any regrets.Annette closed her eyes at Lapel's hand brushing her hair.
Even if you leave him and find a new happiness, there will definitely be days when you miss this hand. There will be nights when I think of his body temperature and feel lonely. Annette tried to shake off this feeling by asking Rafel.
“I have a question for you. May I ask?”
As expected, his hand that was touching Annette's forehead she stopped her abruptly.Rather, it seemed that he would be grateful if Rafel pushed him away again.Annette blinked in anticipation of his imminent turn her.
“… You are free to ask questions.”
But answering meant that it was your heart her.Anyway, is it okay to ask the question itself?Annette opened her mouth, leaning her cheek against his large palm her, which brushed her face her.
“These days, the demand for iron ore has soared. So your iron ore mines have also skyrocketed in value. How do you see it? Are you making a good profit there?”
“Why? Are you interested in my mine too?”
Rafel asked raising one eyebrow instead of answering.Annette was worried that he might misunderstand that she was burying the mine because she coveted it.Annette's tone her, naturally adding additional explanations, sped up a bit.
“No, Lapel. It's not like that. It's a big change for the industry, right? So, I have a few questions…….”
“I'm joking, but I'm embarrassed.”
Lapel, who raised the corner of her mouth her crookedly, grabbed her blonde hair her and twisted it with her fingers. She certainly would have accepted it sarcastically, knowing that Annette coveted the mine too. A fight with her father her the other day.
'I know what my father wants.But whatever it is, don't try to take anything away from Rafel.He would never give it to his father.'
At that time, Annette fought against her father with her pale face and his shivering her Suspicion of Annette even after seeing that appearance was too much Rafel decided to admit that he already trusted her quite a bit. Was curious about her.
“Right. Profits have grown enormously. Belatedly, there were also people who wanted to buy my iron ore mine itself. Because it is the mine with the largest amount of actual mining in Deltium.”
“Okay. Well… You know, Lapel. In case your mine has something besides monetary gain…… Are there any elements that can exert influence in politics or diplomacy?”
Rafel didn't say anything for a moment. Instead, he stretched out his arms and held Annette behind her back her, gently licking the nape of her neck her. On the pure white nape of her neck, the traces of Lapel's bite her during Although she felt sorry for the mark she left on her slender neck, it also fueled her dark sadism that she had left a mark of her own. Lapel, who licked her teeth with a friendly expression, opened her mouth.
“Yes, with this you can exert diplomatic influence on some countries. It's good that industrial efficiency has increased as iron has been distributed to the common people, but not all countries can mine iron ore. In fact, I am also selling a significant amount. Of iron ore overseas.”
“Ah. Then if you buy your fanaticism…… It could give some breath to diplomacy and trade with certain countries.”
Annette's eyes softened when she understood Lafel's words to her. Again, his father his, Allah, was not aiming for iron ore mines simply for financial gain. Coveted was not the iron ore mine itself, but the ability to influence other countries through it.
Lafel pulled Annette's thoughtful body her closer and hugged her. The delicate Annette tended to fit snugly into his arms her. Neck her were all pretty. Her guess her was why she had asked about her own mine her.
'Actually, I didn't expect this mine to be so profitable.'
Lapel was really lucky. His biological father his, King Celgratis, gave Rapel a diamond mine and an iron ore mine as a reward for his service. At the time, iron was too difficult to smelt, so it was expensive, and its use was limited because it was inefficient.Therefore, the iron ore mine that Rapel received did not receive much attention.But who would have known that the flow of the times would change like this a few years later?
'Perhaps he gave it to me without knowing that things would turn out like this.'
Rafel thought cynically. His biological father His, King Celgratis, apparently cared for Rafel very much. However, the things he gave me were usually shiny on the outside and lacked substance. Rafel wondered if this was his mood his, or if the king actually intended it.
“Lapel.”
At this time, Annette, who was still held in Lapel's arms like a doll, turned his head her and called out to him. He had a serious expression on his face her, as if he had finished thinking about something. Annette, who reached out and grabbed Lapel's hand her, said with a sigh.
“I know. My father… They covet your mines. And that they are putting undue pressure on you.”
Annette, who had finished speaking, lowered her head as if she had no face.Rafel watched as her little fingers Her gripped her sheet painfully.Seeing her pitiful appearance of her, generic words flowed out of Lapel's lips involuntarily .
“It's okay. That's right, my maternal uncle is worse than a small child. Even the father-in-law needs to step up. Blue-blooded Bayern is second, one.”
Annette laughed briskly at Lafel's unexpected self-deprecating joke. For the first time, she realized that Rafel had a problem similar to hers. Just as she was troubled by her father her, Lapel also seemed to have some problems with her mother's family her. Maybe that's why I felt a sense of empathy in his eyes facing each other.
I never thought I would form a consensus with Lapel in my lifetime. It was an experience I had never had before. As expected, is this life changing little by little depending on your efforts? Annette's nose her twitched for some reason. Was fiddling with Lapel's clasped hands her, eventually spoke in a determined voice.
“Rapel, I will protect your mine. No one can take you away. Even if it is my father.”
Hearing that, Rafel's blue eyes widened slightly. She said nothing for a moment, and Lapel, who looked at her Annette her, eventually laughed out loud. Her sharp eyes her narrowed like crescent moons, and her red lips her, which had only spat out mean words, smiled brightly. Lafel answered, looking at Annette with her blue eyes that lingered in her smile.
“Thank you. I am very reassured thanks to you.”
Annette's positive response warmed her heart to her. When he left, he intended to protect his mine even if he left. The body temperature of his bare chest her hugging him, the arms her wrapped around him, and the lips pressing down on his cheeks and the nape of his neck her were warm. He regretted having to leave such a handsome husband, but it was better for him and for himself.
Rafel only wanted a formal relationship that would not touch her private parts of her. But Annette did not want to live like that. He was the second life he got at best, so he loved and cared for someone and wanted to have a meaningful relationship with each other. If Lafel refused, Annette would have no choice but to leave him.
'But before that, I'll solve the mine problem first.'
Annette's little pink lips her pursued. To be honest, facing Allah Mand was scary and daunting. However, the desire to protect Lapel was still there. But it was right to do this much. It was because of his family in the first place.
Fortunately, while Annette was a good daughter, he had seen and heard some behind the scenes.
It's about time he stopped being the good daughter.
