Chapter 107

After that, she didn't remember much. Annette gently stroked his hair her and began to sing her hum her. Her voice was pleasant to hear, like the chirping of a little bird. I wanted to hear more, but strangely, I felt like my body was getting heavy, and then I went down.

Rafel closed her eyes, feeling her own consciousness sink to the very depths of her.And she slept very well.Until noon the next day.

'Damn it!!'

Falling asleep in this situation! Unaware of Annette's ability to her, he hated himself for being careful. Waking up at midday, he searched Annette's bedroom for her. But Annette was nowhere to be seen. He stormed out wearing only a shirt, grabbed any maid in sight of her, and asked:

“What about Annette? Where is she now?”

“Other than the mistress, she went out. Master.”

The maid, her eyes wide open, replied with a trembling voice. Lafel wasn't a particularly picky host, but it was scary to see her yelling at her with such stormy force. He didn't care for her because she had a handsome face, otherwise he might have had a heart attack.

“Where have you been since morning?”

“I'm sorry. I haven't heard anything…….”

After hearing the maid's answer Her, Rafel touched his forehead in silence She was, after all, a woman who moved around well Just by looking at her face Her, she looks like she'd be sitting at home .

Recalling the meaningful words Annette had said the night before, Lapel nervously bit her lip. She chewed so hard that the slight taste of blood lingered in her mouth. It was only then that Rafel was stunned by what she had done. Feeling insecure? You think she might be abandoned by her? With a groan, Lapel covered his face with both hands.

'She's a woman who can't understand her inner feelings her her anyway'

That's why Lapel seemed to be even more crazy. She was like a chimney, wanting to follow Annette around right away and ask what she was thinking and whether she would abandon me. But she knew better than anyone that she did n't deserve it Because it was she who kept her mouth shut from the start and didn't say anything to her.

And now she was getting the full price from Annette. Lapel, caught in the swamp of her self-employment her, returned to her own room with her annoyed stride. As she did, like a dog waiting for her master to go when she was at home.

Rather than that, he intended to visit Hamilton himself and express his frustration. It's even better if you can ask a few questions at this time. Maybe she over-interpreted Annette's words of hers, but what if she was never forgotten? Strange ominous feeling she couldn't explain, and she chewed on her words.

'She says my family hates her? Why the hell did she say that?'

After all, she was only part of Rafel's family, Celgratis and Ben March. One of them was not even a family, and it was worse than the others. So, the target Annette is referring to must be Cellgratis.

However, there was no corner to pinpoint. Annette hadn't seen the king since her marriage her. Not only that, but she never even had a major disagreement between the two. To be honest, Rafel thought their relationship was rather good so far If it wasn't for that, she wouldn't have pushed herself so hard that Celgratis shouldn't let go of a woman like that?

Lafel frowned at her and let her hand her button up her shirt more quickly. She was fortunate that she had someone to go to when she was like this to herself. If she was Hamilton, a former member of the King's Secret Service, she must have known something.

“Miss…… No, the Marquis. Eat more scones here! Have you ever thought about pudding?”

“Or how about a cake? I signed a contract with a new fruit supplier this time, and the green grapes there are very sweet. It goes really well with the cream!”

The maids at her parents' house, whom she hadn't seen in a while, were very friendly. Maybe it's because it's the first outing with parents after marriage. Perhaps that was why he was impatient to give Annette anything more. Who had breakfast, broke into a cold sweat as she saw the desserts piling up in front of her.

“Thank you everyone. By the way, her father she seems to be very busy, right? There does n't seem to be any sign of coming down at all.”

Annette, who had put the teacup down, asked insinuatingly. Then, the faces of the maids, who had been blushing until just now, hardened a little. No matter how long I worked here, Allamand Bayern was the owner who could never become friendly One of them answered Annette with an awkward laugh.

“A while ago, the butler informed me of the young lady's arrival, but I'm not sure what happened after that. I'm really sorry.”

Be a butler Annette recalled the unfamiliar face she had met at the entrance.Since the previous butler, Gerard, had returned to his hometown his, he must have hired a new butler.

The new steward, named Robert, was a tall, sullen young man with chestnut hair. But he was also a man with that classic feel to him. In a word, he was exactly the type of hire Bavaria liked. Annette wondered what kind of expression Allamand would have made after seeing her visit her from the new butler.

“It's okay. Why don't you wait a little longer?”

Annette did n't think it would be easy to meet her father her her.But it was so predictable that it made me laugh bitterly.Allah had been making her wait for her three hours already.But she was here and she just could don't go back.

Annette had a bunch of things she definitely wanted to ask her father her. Especially about the royal family's containment and undue pressure. But Allamand didn't seem to want to talk about it with her. Still, it didn't matter. No intention of just waiting here.

“I'll take a walk for a while while I wait. My body is a little sore. You don't have to follow me. I'm going to go out for a while and come back.”

Annette rose from her seat and declared with a smile. He said goodbye to the maids who didn't know anything, and he greeted them politely. Annette stepped into the garden of Bavarian House, which she hadn't seen in a while. Her was just an excuse anyway, and she intended to go see her father her in person, who couldn't even see her nose her.

Even though she is an estranged father and daughter, she has lived together for over 20 years. So Annette knew very well where he could go and she could find him. As she walked along the perfectly arranged promenade, her steps her quickened. Like I missed her because it was a long-awaited family member.

'It was probably over there.'

Turning the corner, I saw a picnic table over there. It was a place created to take a break from taking a walk in the garden of a Bavarian mansion. Annette loved that table with a great view of the garden. Tea there and read a book or do embroidery.

But there was one more reason why Annette insisted on this place. Sitting on a soft chair next to the table there, Annette slowly raised her head. Then the main building of the Bavarian mansion came into sight through the canopy that hung overhead.

'Maybe my father's study was on the third floor?'

She never gets tired of basking in the sun over a cup of tea at an outdoor table.

At such times, there was an Allamand in the study on the third floor, by that large window. I put my white hand against the window, as if not a single drop of blood would flow. Looking down at us with dark purple eyes. When Annette was started by an unexpected encounter, he would turn away with a nonchalant look and disappear. It's like a white snake slipping back into its den.

It was like that even now. When Annette looked up at the window of the study on the third floor, she saw Allamand's familiar platinum hair. That platinum hair that shines brilliantly in the sunlight…… Unexpectedly, I was fighting fiercely with someone by the hair.

“…?”

Annette doubted her eyes her for a moment.He wondered if he might have misunderstood the afterimages shimmering in the sunlight.However, looking again, a fierce physical fight was taking place in the study.

Annette opened his eyes wide and looked up through the window. Allamand was in the middle of a fight with a man with chestnut hair and a rather stout build. Annette, who recognized the man's face a little later, was started.

'That's the butler I saw earlier!'

I don't know why Allamand was fighting with the butler, but the situation looked very urgent. No matter how young Allamand looked, he was already approaching his fifties. And the Bavarian people didn't have much talent for using their bodies.

Annette frantically got up and ran into the mansion.

“My father was attacked!! Hurry up, go to the study on the 3rd floor!!!”

It was n't until a couple of hours later that Annette sat down with a more or less calm Allamand.Allajou looked tired as he placed an ice pack over the bruises on his face.His face his with a purple shade around His eyes, looked human for a long time.

Seeing this, Annette was a little surprised. His father her, who always had a face as perfect as a needle would go, was too distant. He didn't even look like a human being, and he didn't even seem to age But looking at it like this, Allah Manddo could feel that he was getting older. While she was started by the strange sight of her father, Allah Mand spoke hoarsely to her.

“…I can't even trust the butler anymore. I almost died before I even had a will in place.”

“What happened? The butler, his name was Robert. Is he, by any chance, hired under a false identity like Ian?”

“No. Identification is certain. Because he was clean until he let him into the mansion.”

“Then why….. . “

“You are asking a stupid question, Annette. Even after you come in, your mind can change at any time. For example, what if someone offered a very large price, or took a family member hostage? Are, I will be prepared to reveal them at least once. It's like cheeky things.”

Alla Mand sighed, stroking his throat, where his handprints were still red.He had been nearly strangled by a large butler, and his neck was slashed.It was pitiful that a hoarse voice would come out every time he opened his mouth.

Seeing this, Annette was conflicted. But he couldn't help but ask this. Annette, who carefully looked around him, lowered her eyelashes and whispered.

“Is this also something your Majesty planned? To get rid of his father and keep Bayern in check.”

“You…!! How do you do that?”

Allamand's eyes widened at the unexpected words. It was a face he had never dreamed of, even though Annette must have guessed the whole story.
