Chapter 104

If the king hadn't said, 'Please watch over me,' he wouldn't have done such a troublesome thing. Hamilton clicked his tongue and tore his shirt to stop the bleeding from Lapel's shoulder. And Bella, who had collapsed due to her sincere gesture of her, checked her condition of her.

Even so, she was Bella, her drug-ridden body her, and her life she was coming to an end. She was even stabbed in the process, so there was no way she would survive. She was once a simple and strong woman whose The goal was to eat all three of her meals of her, but she ended her life as a drug addict. After confirming her death, Hamilton indifferently asked Lapel.

“Do you resent me for killing your mother?”

Even if it was, it didn't matter. Hamilton was ready to live resentment, as long as Rafel's will his to get revenge could keep him working harder. He didn't particularly regret killing Bella. Hamilton had wanted to kill her ever since the day she punched her four-year-old Lapel and nearly blinded her in one eye.

“Ah…”

When he heard that Bella was dead, Rafel seemed shocked. He looked in disbelief at Bella's dead body of hers, then at Hamilton's face of hers. Hamilton waited patiently for Lapel's next reaction. He killed her mother right in front of her child, and she had nothing to say even if she was hated.

However, Rafel behaved differently than he expected.He stumbled over and grabbed Hamilton's arm with a trembling hand.As if he did n't know what to do with that state, Lapel squeezed and removed his hand a few times before whispering in. A tight voice.

“… Thank you.”

Hearing this, Hamilton closed his eyes without speaking.It felt like his chesthis was being squeezed tight.He had no choice but to admit it.He was more attached to the poor king's illegitimate son than he thought.

Hamilton had been watching Rafel since he was a baby. And I've seen how hard Rafel is enduring life at such a young age. Even though he staggered from not being able to eat properly, he did his best in swordsmanship training every time. In Lafel's eyes, resembling a king, he could see his unbending stiffness and desire for life. It was a gaze so ferocious that it fascinated even a worn-out greeting like Hamilton's.

At this point, no matter how much it was just a job, there was no choice but to go. Hamilton wanted to bring Lapel into his mansion right away.

But he could not do that until he got permission from the king.Unfortunately, the king wished to keep Lapel in the hands of his mother.

“Leave it. Wouldn't it have a dramatic effect if you saved it from a worse situation? In this situation, if you reach out your hand first, you won't be less grateful even if you are taken back to the palace later That's a bit troublesome.”

It wasn't just Bella who changed. This was also the case with King Celgratis. The innocent young man who asked him to take care of his first child, Lapel, had already disappeared. About how to use his illegitimate son his, who has a talent for swordsmanship.

Hamilton bit his lip and hugged the still-young boy tightly. He was at least fortunate that he came on time. It was fortunate that Rafel did not die. The skeleton that had just begun to grow, the immature body in his arms his, did not collapse. My heart ached because I felt sorry for Lafel, who had only suffered in the harsh circumstances of the adults.

“Let's go. I don't need to be here any longer.”

Hamilton, who had wrapped the cape around Rapel, pulled him by the hand. Of course, if the king heard of this, he would not be happy. But it was an unfortunate accident, and if Hamilton hadn't intervened, Lapel would have This was not what the king also wished for, so he would not punish even if the rappel was removed a little earlier.

That's how Rafel escaped from his own hell.

Annette was greatly shocked by Lapel's past his, which she did not know at all.He had a history of being abused by his mother and his almost to death.Looking at his big and strong figure his now, it was unimaginable.

'Therefore…… He kept his mouth shut whenever he talked about the past.'

Recalling the image of Lapel, who had always been sharp, Annette suddenly wanted to cry. The painful scars left on his naked upper body and his came to mind. Annette guessed that these were probably the wounds of glory he had received when he went to war. But maybe, some of those scars…….

The man named Rafel was stupidly inflexible, unable to heal his own painful past his.He was the type to embrace everything alone until his wounds his festered and rotted away.No matter how painful or painful he is, he keeps his mouth shut for fear that others will find out about his weakness. He would die alone, like a lofty wild beast, with his head held high as if nothing had happened to him. So no one will notice how sick he is or how much pain he is in.

Annette was so heartbroken by his foolishness How good would he be if he was just such a bad guy But Annette had already noticed the other aspects of Lapel.

The face of her when she looked at herself while pretending not to, the expression on her face when she did n't want to talk about the past but was worried that Annette might have offended her, the look on purpose when she was embarrassed and covered her blushing face. If I hadn't known all this, I would have left him with a bitter smile.

'Anyway, a stupid man.'

Meanwhile, after confessing everything, Ben feigned remorse and sobbed.But the place he was hit by Rylin only brought tears to his eyes, and he did n't really feel guilty.

'Bella, she would have kept getting child support if the bitch had n't hit the kid. She's like a stupid bitch!'

Ben cursed inwardly at his dead sister her his.He tried to deny that he was the one who gave her the medicine in the first place.

It was all over when he returned home to collect his child support this month. In the empty house, where neither his sister nor her nephew was present, there was only an official letter left. In summary, she was informed that Bella was not worthy of her mother, and that she had been summarily executed because she dared to murder a member of royal blood. And since Rappel would be taken to the palace, there was news like a thunderbolt from the sky that the child support payments would end with this .

'I can't do this!!'

Ben was accustomed to paying child support every month, no, gambling money. He sincerely thought the situation was unfair. He thought that if the royal family would n't pay more, he should at least make amends for killing his sister his. Own gambling funds, of course.

The gambling-mad Ben was already swollen with his liver his. He had gone anyway, and if he couldn't gamble, he had nothing more to lose. So he went to the palace with an official document and made a bout of mischief. And, of course, he went straight to Room 503 of the Royal Palace Prison.

Belatedly imprisoned, Ben came to his senses.He thought it was all over.However, the king had Ben imprisoned until he understood his position, and held an informal meeting.His lips his,which had once kissed Bella,now spoke cold. Whispers to Ben.

'I have something to do for you. If you follow my instructions well, I'll make you the owner of the casino after everything is over.'

You're the owner of the casino!Ben's ears perked up.Having his own casino was every gambler's dream.He nodded his head, saying he would do it unconditionally.The king then laughed contentedly and injected poison into his body his his. Of.

'I'm sorry, but you can't trust gamblers. If this poison is not detoxified once every two weeks, it dies. I'll send someone out each time to see if you're working diligently. Good…… '

From then on, I followed the king's order to live. With a thoroughly forged identity, he became the Bavarian coachman and lived as Annette's foot her. When he wanted to gamble too much, he collected his coachman's salary and headed to the gambling house. He decided to beat them all up and, as before, he wanted to live in a gambling house, but he couldn't because of the poison injected into his body.

For ten years, Ben lived as if he was dying, and he did his gear, his, but the king did not keep his promise, his, the poison injected into his body, he was detoxified, but that was all.

'Hide until things calm down.

Ben was deeply dissatisfied, but he couldn't argue with the king on the subject. Rather, he was in a position to be grateful just for keeping him alive. He was a wanted criminal because of what he had done, so he couldn' t t go anywhere anyway.

Saying that he could n't change his habit of his, he secretly started going to an illegal casino with the living expenses he received every month. Then he was finally caught by Annette. Face her, ascertained by his squint her, was white and looked fragile. Of course, it was because of the shock of learning about Rafel's past for the first time, but Ben didn't know this.

Ben surmised that she must have been frightened of her as she masterminded her kidnapping her. When did a pretty girl who grew up with a lot of honor have done such a bad thing? Even when she worked as a coachman, she was a quiet, undemanding host. So Ben eagerly rolled his hair.

'If I pretend to be a little bit remorseful and pray while crying, I'll spare you even out of pity.'

Although she served as Annette's personal coachman for her ten years, Ben did not know her very well. In the first place, there was no way for a coachman or the like to have private conversations with the Bavarian princess. Even Annette didn't enjoy her outings her very much. So Ben stupidly looked down on Annette.

'Let's act pitiful and buy sympathy, then get out of here.'

Isn't that the way all aristocratic girls are originally? In a greenhouse equipped with everything from birth, it grows finely like a flower. That's why I didn't know the logic of the world, and I didn't even know that they were getting hit in the back of the head.

Ben, who had actually hit Annette in the back of the head, was confident.He wept bitterly, quickly wringing out his tears with his acting skills.

“I'm really reflecting too, ma'am. I sincerely apologize. I feel like licking the soles of your shoes if I could. I'll beg you like this, please take my life…… !!”
