Chapter 63
Dawn was breaking outside the window. The white sunlight, still not warm enough, crept in. Lapel, who was sitting on top of her table, turned her head away. Then I saw Annette's face her sleeping soundly on the bed. Face that made me sigh.
Without a sound, Raffel raised her body her and began to look around her hidden jewelry box her. For his large physique, his movements were agile and quiet, just like that of a wild beast. Lapel, who found what he wanted without waking Annette , picked it up.
The object was as it was in memory. The ring, made of the finest amethyst, shimmered even in the dim light of dawn. The letter 'S' engraved in gold leaf on the surface attracted attention. Before, but now Lapel did. This meant that Annette was a customer of a special information guild.
'Secret Guild.'
Lapel's only acquaintance with his, Harold Evans, also had this ring. For he was once in a position to run the king's secret errands. But what about Annette? She was a woman who embroidered with her beautiful hands and enjoyed a peaceful daily life reading She was, and she was also the woman who was secretly hiding the token of the Sacrit in a drawer.
Lafel looked at the amethyst ring resting on his palm with an expressionless face. At first glance, the size of the ring, which was quite large, did not fit Annette's finger hers. Worn in the first place. Suddenly, what Harold had said came to mind in Rafel's mind.
'It's literally a guild that does everything except assassination. Starting with information trading, selling various illegal products such as poison or aphrodisiac, stealing people, private loans, etc… Ah! I heard that you've been involved in smuggling or lately It's a fairly expensive service, but well, if you want to escape from reality, it won't be a waste of money.'
Power went into Lapel's hand holding the ring. Yes, Annette would be just trading information. She was not one to step foot in an illegal crime. But as far as the country of smuggling…… I couldn't be sure. Down at the sleeping Annette, and a look of pain appeared on his face.
Yeah, she wasn't sure about anything yet. It was n't enough that she tampered with Annette's possessions her, and she could n't break them. Lapel gritted her teeth and returned her ring her to her place her. I closed the drawer, my emotions got a little intense, Tak! There was a sound. Lapel's keen senses sensed someone's presence on the bed.
“Um… Lapel?”
Sure enough, Annette lifted her closed eyelids her Hazey pink eyes raced across his face her casting a worried look Annette reached out and carefully cared his cheek her her.
“Did you have another nightmare? Come on.”
Annette lifted a corner of the blanket and pulled his neck her.The blue eyes of her lapel looking down at her deepened a little.I couldn't resist this temptation.He obediently lay down beside her as Annette led her.Then Annette stretched out Both of his arms and hugged Lapel's head and hugged him affectately.
“It's okay, Lapel. You are a good person I…… I'll protect you. So relax and sleep well.”
It was good to hear Annette's slightly husky voice Her, as she was still asleep.It was also cute that her always intelligent and elegant tone Her became slurred.It felt as if someone had poured whole. Sweet maple syrup into my ears.
Rafel slowly closed his eyes.He loved the feeling of being held in her fragile arms Her.Annette smelled of clean white musk and a little floral scent.She was exhaling regularly as if she had fallen asleep before she knew it., Peaceful breath tickled his forehead her.
'Being so kind. You don't intend to leave me, do you?'
Lapel's jaw his her tightened Otherwise, it seemed that his face would be distorted somehow He slowly raised his upper body Her to keep Annette from waking up And this time he held her fast asleep in her arms Her. Annette's her ear her her.
“You're not going anywhere, Annette.”
Lapels of flowing black hair wrapped around Annette's small face Her unwillingly, he looked like a pitiful prisoner behind bars Satisfied with this, Lapel gave her arms a little more strength as she hugged her body Annette then moaned in protest even in her slew her.
Lapel gently kissed her furrowed forehead her. Although she felt sorry for her, she did not have the heart to let go of her arm. If her own bondage of her is tight, she'd better get used to this tightness on her part of her. He had absolutely no intention of letting go of Annette.
Annette stood up and reflexively checked her watch her. His body her seemed to be more sluggish than usual, so he overslept as expected. That's a whopping two hours. Apparently, he was mentally tired because he had a lot of things to worry about these days.
Annette carefully removed Lapel's arm from her waist to her.He was going to let him sleep some more.Annette, who had suffered from a long-standing sleep disorder, was always restless, and he did not want to disturb his sleep her as much as possible.
'What will he do if I leave?'
Annette's troubles have been giving her a headache lately. After a long time, Rafel started to sleep well, but he would have a harder time if he disappeared and his sleep disorder returned to normal. Annette looked down at Lafel's sleeping face her with a worried look.
His profile, revealed through his disheveled black hair, was as beautiful as an ancient male god. He wondered why his skin didn't tan even though he practiced swordsmanship every day. Annette, who ran her fingertips over Lapel's straight forehead, high nose , and sensual lips, got down from the bed.
“Haam….”
The troubles weren't over yet, but a new day had to begin. Stretching out, Annette put on a dressing gown and came out of the bedroom. It was late for breakfast, and I intended to grab a brunch or something. Did not go as planned. Annette went to the private parlor and soon ran into the maid with a puzzled look on her face.
“Madam, I apologize, but the customer has been waiting for you for two hours.”
“Guest? What… Oh! Look at my mind!!”
Annette, who asked with a puzzled face, belatedly recalled the promise and shuddered. Today was the day I decided to meet Eucalyptus and have a brief interview. Eucalyptus, who was Annette's doctor in her previous life, met again in this life through a mysterious connection. He seems to give a very bad first impression of himself. Seeing her flustered Annette, the maid bowed her head in disgrace.
“I should have woken you up somehow, but it seemed like the master was inside…… I just couldn't get in the way. I'm sorry, ma'am.”
“No, it's okay. Would you rather help me out? I'll have to stock up on the assortment as much as possible and go down quickly.”
Annette waved his hand her and offered him a realistic alternative. As the maid said, she and her husband were spending intimate time as husband and wife, but the employee was not allowed to interfere. It was all Annette's fault her. Bad hostess who blamed her own faults on her hiring of her.
Upon receiving Annette's forgiveness, the maid's expression brightened slightly.All she did was bow her head a little in her gratitude her, but instead she prepared Annette faster than anyone else.Looking good.
When I opened the door to the reception room, I saw Eucalyptus sitting on the sofa. Actually an experienced doctor. However, the downside was that his features were plain and he had no expression, which made him look a bit intrusive. .
“I am so sorry that I am late. Did you wait long?”
Annette politely apologized to Eucalyptus, who stood up after seeing her. It wasn't empty words, it was a face that was really sorry. A mistress who sincerely apologizes to an employee who is not even a noble. Head in a confident manner, albeit with a shy attitude.
Nice to meet you. It is called Eucalyptus Kayoon.”
“Nice to meet you, Kayoon. I had a lot of work yesterday, so I must have forgotten. I'm so sorry.”
I almost called her Eucalyptus in a friendly way like in my previous life. Annette smiled shyly as she called Eucalyptus last name, which had an exotic feel to it. It was a mistake unlike Annette, who was always thorough in her promises. Who sat down with an apologetic face, slightly rolled her eyes and looked in the direction of Eucalyptus.
Fortunately, tea and cookies were prepared in front of Eucalyptus. The maids must have been paying attention, seeing as the tea was still steaming after waiting for two hours. Annette smiled kindly while secretly promising to raise the maids' a salaries. .
“So, Kayoon. You want to be our family doctor?”
