Chapter 106

Her voice did not reach the man who was wandering in the nightmare of the past.Annette noticed a familiar silhouette wandering alone in this cold hallway.It was pitiful to see her careless and muttering something in a dark place where no light could reach. To be sleeping well these days, but the symptoms seemed to recur.

'Did he not play the music box I gave him?'

Annette felt bitter as she recalled Lapel's confused expression when she received it. These illnesses were usually caused by psychological problems. In the case of Lapel, the trauma caused by participating in the war had a great influence. Violence and murder. Of her few trusted lieutenants her, Robert.

She successfully slaughtered the enemy, and upon her return her, Raffel was rewarded with a well-deserved title. However, his well-hidden, desolate spirit his sometimes manifested in this way. This was no different from a heavy burden that Rafel would have to carry for the rest of his life.

'They say the symptoms get worse when I'm under a lot of stress or when I'm under a lot of mental pressure.'

Annette sighed as she recalled the contents of the book she had read. There was a corner that pointed out why his sleep disorder was activated again. Probably because of the conversation we had at dinner tonight. , But he received an answer that was tantamount to refusal. Even if he didn't express it, he was probably shocked.

“Anyway, a stupid person.”

Annette murmured softly and went out into the hallway outside the bedroom. He wanted to get him to safety, to a warm bed, as soon as possible. Because in the nightmare of wandering alone, you will surely feel lonely and lonely. Her, Annette cautiously approached Lapel.

The trauma Rafel was experiencing today seemed more sad than painful. He was pale and sweating, rubbing his forehead against the wall. He didn't shed a tear, but a moan that sounded like a sob flowed from between his lips. His, Robert, whom he left dead, or he's grieving his abused past his.

“Did you have a bad dream again, Lapel? I'm fine now. Come on, come over here.”

Annette gently took his hand his. Lafel, with his dark black hair and pale skin, looked like a ghost in this dark hallway. Even his hands that touched his hands his were damp and cold. Annette, who rubbed his hand her and shared her body temperature her, brought him to bed.

I pushed Lapel's hard chest and let him sit on the bed. At first, he resisted, but then he let go of his body. Then, following Annette's guidance her, she slowly sat down on the edge of the bed. His still-dream, looked stressed. Lafel, who was groaning in a cold sweat, leaned his head on Annette's arm and holding his shoulder to her.

Annette felt his heart choke at the weight on her arm her.It has already been several times to put Lapel, who suffers from sleep disorders, to sleep.He seemed to remember Annette's touch her and touch her even in his unconsciousness of her.

Looking down at his beautiful face leaning against her, I was more sad than happy. Feels like taming a wild beast that no one rides.

“This is not good.”

Annette brushed Lapel's manly cheeks and murmured. He unfortunately picked the wrong person to open his heart to. If Lapel had liked him a little earlier, the situation might have been different. If so, Annette would probably have chosen a different way to live with … Him.

But it was too late for Lapel, and Annette knew everything. She was someone who had already decided to leave. Fortunately, Rafel's feelings aren't love yet, but it's close to goodwill, so it should be okay. , That she would be better for Lapel if she let herself go.

'Anyway, His Majesty seems to care about Lapel quite a bit.'

Annette was prepared to confront the king in order to clear her name. It was a fight with a slim chance of winning, but I was determined not to give up in this life. So, if Rafel loved himself, he would be very stressed. Selgratis was his only family his, and he was also the benefactor who gave everything to his illegitimate son his, Rafel.

“You know what, Lapel? I really wanted to be nice to your family… Strangely, everyone hates me.”

Selgratis wanted her her Bavaria, including her her, to take down her her whole her. And the tool used for this was Lapel's maternal uncle, Ben March. Therefore, Annette was hated by all of Lapel's family, which was one of the few. If Rafel knew this, what would he think?

So Annette dared to ask Rafel what he thought of the king. Sure enough, Rafel thought he had some kind of favor with the king. Lapel's face was firm as he said he had to pay the debt.

Annette could not bear to ask Rafel to choose between her biological father and herself. It was a cruel choice for Rafel, who was already a victim of a poor family. To be honest, I wasn't sure he would choose me. Received too much from the king.

Annette swallowed her tears and bowed her head to kiss his forehead her.

“Now you have to sleep alone without me. You are strong, so you can do it.”

Then, Lapel let out a faint moan, as if rejecting it unconsciously.In response, Annette smiled lightly, but a tear fell from her eyes.

'How nice it would have been if we had been an ordinary couple like everyone else.'

It would have been great if it had been a relationship where you loved me and I was happy to marry you because I loved you. In his previous life, he thought he had a bad relationship with Lapel because he was a coward who couldn't do anything.So he thought he could get along with him in this life.Maybe they fall in love with each other and care for each other like other lovers do.I thought I might be able to live a normal life like that.

But now Annette knew. This wasn't simply a problem between Lapel and himself. Who said it? Marriage is not between two people, but between families. Snakes trying to strangle each other. I had to struggle to get out of here somehow to avoid getting caught in the middle.

“So you need to get used to life without me.”

Annette, whispering softly, began humming her song her. The song, which at first was small and faint like a breeze, gradually became clearer. Then, Lapel's body Her, curled up on the bed, slid over backwards. Now he was completely immersed in a deep sleep, and the annoying nightmares couldn't bear to follow him there either.

The crease between Lapel's sharp eyebrows slowly faded. Annette saw that his expression had calmed down and lay down next to him. The face of Rafel facing each other was so beautiful that his heart shivered. Annette looked at that face until it appeared like an afterimage even when she closed her eyes, and then slowly closed her eyes.

“Sweet dreams, Lapel.”

But there was one thing Annette didn't know about sleepwalking.

Sleepwalking was a very strange feeling.It's hard to put into words, but it felt like only half of my soul had been pulled out of my body.The other half is manipulating his own body.In a word, it felt like my consciousness was divided in half. Like scones with jam on one side and cream on the other.

Lapel on the side of the creamed scone looked at her jam part her with strange eyes. It wandered through the corridors, moaning like a ghost. The distorted expression on his face her, the stressed eyes his, were unsightly. Even in his hazy state his, he was deeply impressed by this bizarre experience.

'It must have felt like this when others saw it.'

Soon after, the bedroom door on the other side opened, and Annette walked out. He looked a little more messy than usual, probably because he had just come out of sleep. Her face of her, which had been expressionless like her doll, became Blurred the moment she found herself. She then came to her side and took hold of her own hand.

“Did you have a bad dream again, Lapel? I'm fine now. Come on, come over here.”

Annette looked so sweet that she couldn't believe she was the woman who had dumped him earlier. When Rafel saw her soft face her, he felt a slitting pain in her chest her. His body was eventually led into the bedroom by Annette's hand her Naturally, Lafel's soul also headed inside, as if being pulled by an invisible string.

Annette, who sat herself on the bed, reached out and brushed his cheek her. Her eyes looking at her were as deep and sorrowful as a lake. Seeing this, Rafel felt as if one side of his heart his was going numb. The rest of the soul remaining in her own body she also felt this, her head her tilted arbitrarily and rested her head on her arm her. Seeing this, Annette whispered with a sad smile.

“You know what, Lapel? I really wanted to be nice to your family… Strangely, everyone hates me.”

What do you mean by all of a sudden? Lapel couldn't understand. Her biological father her, her Celgratis, had repeatedly stressed what a good wife she was and why he should marry her. The point where she couldn't beat Cell Gratis.

So Annette must have misunderstood something.Her king her must have seemed determined to marry her to himself.Perhaps it is because Annette is such a good wife and she is a good woman.Annette's only flawshe was that her parents she were Bavarian.

Rafel decided to explain this to her as soon as she woke later.He did not want her Annette to feel rejected by her familyHer her.Just then, Annette bowed her head and kissed him on the forehead.

“Now you have to sleep alone without me. You are strong, so you can do it.”

…… What is she talking about now?
