Chapter 108
Allah Majo was a supreme nobleman who valued his tradition and lineage his above all else.And he was also a deeply conservative father to Annette.
He had been underestimating Annette all this time. She was a flower in the greenhouse, and she was a flawless, pretty doll she had raised. But Annette suddenly spoke as if she knew the full extent of this danger. But be surprised by Allah Mandro.
Seeing this, Annette laughed sadly. At this point, he felt it was time to show Ala Mand what kind of person he was.
“The fact that I didn't become the Crown Princess was all planned by His Majesty. Isn't it? Perhaps His Highness Ludwig was concerned about being swayed by our family. He has a bit of an indecisive side. T have ignored his father-in-law's 'advice' even if he saw his beloved wife his.”
Allamand said nothing He must have guessed all of this too Actually it was not anything strange Because it was his father who first discovered that the coachman Ian's identity was 'Ben March' in the first place.
Annette thought as she watched her father's eyes contain amazement and amazement.
'This also feels surprisingly good.'
After returning, he seemed to have made progress himself.
Like all his children her, Annette wanted approval from her father her her.He wanted to be something more than just a pretty doll.But now there were more important matters than his father's approval his.Annette let out a deep sigh and asked carefully.
“Since when did you know? The fact that the person who framed me is Your Majesty.”
“… From scratch. There was just no evidence.”
Allamand's purple eyes grew even darker. He was exhausted from overcoming the danger of dying once, and he was more poisonous than usual. It seemed that he had no energy left to be sarcastic or sneering. Thanks to this, Annette was able to have a Much more comfortable conversation than she had initially prepared for.
“If you knew, why didn't you stop my marriage?”
“Because things weren't good back then.”
Allamand, who replied briefly, brushed the platinum hair flowing down his forehead as if tired. His expression His looked particularly tired, and Annette felt a little weak in his mind. In his previous life, while he was ignorant and intoxicated with misfortune, Allah Mang would have continued to fight against the royal family. It was the same for his brother, Arjen.
Annette realized that she was really just a flower in a greenhouse in her previous life.So he had to live differently even now.With her determined eyes, she asked Ala Mand again.
“What do you mean things weren't good? Please tell me the way it is, father. This is also my job, right? As a member of the family, I also have the right to know everything.”
Allamand looked at her without replying. Her eyes her seemed to be trying to see if Annette had the right to listen to the full story of the incident and whether she was a good cat enough to handle it. Seeing this, Annette softened her voice and pleaded earnestly.
“I am also a proper Bavarian daughter. So I want to do my best in any way to protect my family and my roots. Of course, I may not be as seasoned and perfect as my father. Isn't it?”
“…….”
“So please tell me. Please discuss with me how to overcome this crisis. It is none other than my father who gave me the blood of Bavaria.”
Annette decided to put all of the things she felt sorry for and the things that hurt her from Allamand. She, too, was born aristocrats from the core. And for the nobility, the most important thing was the continuation of the family. Their feet, the foundation that makes up their veins.
The family was the first small world they belonged to when they were born. It was such an important matter for the safety of the family, but it was not the time to discuss the regrets of the past. Protect the family.
Allamand silently looked into Annette's eyes, her eyes, her eyes, intelligent and courageous, resembling her once his wife, Looking into those appealing eyes, Allah Manu suddenly thought he was old .His body her.
'Is it impossible to do it alone now?'
Is it because of the shocking experience that almost killed me? Allamand had left Annette as an ignorant flower like before, and he had no energy to fight alone. What would have happened to Bayern if she had it just been strangled at the butler's hands? Arjen, his next heir, was in a distant empire, and his one and only daughter his didn't know much yet. The king would have seized this opportunity and trampled on Bavaria.
Thinking about this, Allamand's high-handed attitude softened after a long time Certainly, he did not know that now was the time when he needed the help of his children His.Allamand, who touched his forehead His his opened his mouth slowly.
“… That absurd false accusation of kidnapping probably won't only affect your marriage. Thanks to your trap, my political standing has also narrowed. The Marquis of Keers, who became the king's son-in-law, seized unprecedented power and began to pursue my back.”
“I thought so. Your Majesty probably wanted to raise a new noble force to keep Bavaria in check. That way, while both sides growl, the royal family will take advantage of the middle.”
“Exactly as the King intended. I was going to make you the Crown Princess to prevent this damn thing from happening, but the cunning old man finally did it.”
Annette lowered her eyes with a pale face. The king must have been intending to give power to the Marquis of Keers again at this point. Until they dare to be Bayern's rivals. Until they try to surpass Bayern's old glory and prestige.
“I didn't know that, and the Marquis of Keirs was suspicious of me. In fact, I think the main culprit who plotted to kidnap my daughter was me, not you. So stupid! With that kind of intelligence, you'll only be able to feed the royal dog for the rest of your life.”
Allamand spat out with an expressionless face. In my own way, being suspicious seemed quite frustrating. However, seeing this, Annette unknownly broke out in a cold sweat and averted his eyes from her. He understood the position of the Marquis Keyers in an instant.
Insidious purple eyes, an aggressive and obstinate nose, tight, thin lips on a smooth, bloodless face. It's nothing to say as her own daughter her, but her father her was more like a villain than anyone else. The White Snake hides itself in the thicket and aims for the decisive blow. That was the public image of Allamand Bayern. As such, it was not unreasonable for the Marquis of Keirs to suspect his father of being in the dark.
Fortunately, Allah, who did not notice Annette's thoughts of her, continued his words of her.
“Anyway, the Marquis Kears, who almost lost her daughter her, went mad with rage at the time. He insisted on putting you in the palace prison right away. It was the king who stopped that foolish bastard and put an end to it so that this wouldn't spread outside. Abominable anyway!”
“The palace prison? Did you say you had to put me there?”
“Okay! At that time, the situation turned so unfavorably. So I had no choice but to pay the king a kind of brokerage fee for clearing this up. If it wasn't like that, it would have been obvious that both you and I would have fallen to the bottom.”
“That 'brokerage fee' was my marriage. Yes?”
The King wanted Annette to marry Lapel in exchange for mediating the situation.Allamand agreed by remaining silent at her question.In response,Annette quietly closed her eyes and was lost in her thoughts her.
“So you did that to me when we ran into each other at the garden party. I'm saying that I'm stupid for taking her husband's side of her without knowing anything.”
“…….”
“Then, if you dare ask me, be honest with me, father. Even though you guessed everything, the reason why you married me to Rafel… Is it because I don't care what it is? So you didn't tell me anything, and you just married me as the king wanted? It's because I'm useless because I didn't become the crown princess in the first place.”
Annette asked, her lips quivering. It was a thought I had always kept in my mind. Unable to confirm the facts, she laughed alone and brushed off those speculations. Afraid and nervous.
Annette's her eyes her her prepared for the soon-to-be truth shook like petals in the rain Then Allamand who saw this frowned in annoyance.
“Anyway, foolish. Do you believe marriage is the end of life? What era is it?”
Annette opened her eyes wide at the unexpected words. Said Allah Mand, who squeezed her fingers between her own brows as if she were worn.
“There can't always be good moments in politics. When the situation is unfavorable, you have no choice but to give the other person what they want. After that, when things get better, then go back and withdraw your numbers and that's it Why are you obsessed with the tree in front of you? Try to see the big forest.”
“…… That being said, did you consider taking the opportunity to divorce me?”
“Okay! For the blue-blooded Bavaria, a divorce can't be faulted. Even if you break up with that wild illegal bastard, there will be places everywhere that want you! It's like clinging to him and flirting with him without even knowing it.”
Allamand's nervous eyebrows rose a little higher He must have been reminiscing about her her and her lapel her standing up to him at her garden party Seeing this, Annette somehow wanted to cry and also wanted to laugh .
In his previous and present life her, he thought he had been completely abandoned by her father her. These words meant a lot to Annette. At least it means that he didn't think of himself as a disposable word that was used once and thrown away.
'However…… If you didn't give up on me, why? Didn't he never come to visit me in the hospital until I died in my previous life?'
Suddenly, a question passed through Annette's mind her her.But no one came now to answer the question.You probably won't know forever.
Still, it didn't matter. Because he will never die like that in this life. Towards Annette, who was resolutely determined, Allamand posed the first question.
“Then I ask you one thing. How far does that bastard know?”
“Don't call him that, Father. Lapel is a good person.”
Annette warned with a sigh Allamand frowned at her attitude of her still covering Lapel Naturally, an even more caustic sarcasm erupted from his mouth her.
“Looking at him, he doesn't seem to know anything. Well, the king wouldn't share this plot with that simple, violent bastard unless he went crazy. That guy is the kind of guy who should have just picked up a sword and wielded it. If he dares to interfere in politics without knowing the subject, he will be eaten without a bone left.”
“Father!!”
Annette was not willing to put up with insults against her husband any longer. She, always demure and submissive, lifted her eyes and raised her voice for the first time.
