Chapter 109

“How dare you stand in front of me… Keuheuk, cool cool!!”

Seeing this, her Allah Mand her tried to subdue her by giving her an authoritative rant as usual. Her exasperated tone of her, eventually grabbed her throat and coughed.

She really seemed to have grown old herself. No one would be afraid of a toothless snake. She was fine now. I just wanted to quickly end the conversation and go to rest. .

“Why do you think the king married you to him?”

Annette bit his lip tightly. He had recently been a question that he himself kept thinking was odd. If the King intends to crush Bavaria, why? Did he bother to marry Lafel? King cares for his illegitimate son.

Although Annette now plays the role of supplementing Rapel's lineage, it was only for a while Later, if the king would fix her family Her, it would backfire So Annette could never guess the king's heart Her her .

When she could not answer her own question with ease, her Allah Mand laughed coldly.His aristocratic and graceful fingertips his tapped regularly on the table.

“Think carefully, you stupid thing. The King tries to suppress Bavaria to strengthen his royal power. Then, from his point of view his, what kind of existence is Lapel Kanesis?”

“Your Majesty considers him important. Maybe he's not affectionate with him, but he'll feel she needs at least a lapel. He's the soon-to-be sword master, right? So, Your Majesty needs a lapel. For the sake of Deltium's prestige, even for the security of the royal family.”

“It is not wrong. That's the case under normal circumstances. At least, if the Crown Prince had been a more useful guy, he might have been.”

Allamand said something very meaningful.As Annette pondered over his words her, her expression her suddenly turned pale.

“Certainly, His Majesty intended…….”

I still thought it was strange. The attitude of the king, who compared Ludwig and Rappel as if he was exceptionally proud in front of others, inciting Ludwig's hostility. An unexpected decision to marry the princess of Bavaria, whom he will soon dispose of, to his illegitimate son his, Rafel, whom he cherished. It was an unnatural act to conspire with Rafel's uncle, Ben March, instead of his own henchmen, and to keep him alive.

The king's actions his, which he had not known for so long, suddenly began to come together as one.Everything was explainable.If the king intends to remove the lapel after using it, that is.

Allah Mand saw Annette's whitened face in shock and narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.

“When the hunt is over, useless hounds are eaten. The one who understands these rules better than anyone else is King Selgratis. No matter how good a swordsman that illegitimate son is, Deltium's long civil war is over. In the last war. Why do we need an excellent swordsman in a country where the war has already ended?”

“Oh, that can't be. Rafel isn't just an excellent swordsman…….”

“Okay. He will definitely become a sword master, that bastard. But that's why he needs to get rid of it more. Before it gets any bigger.”

Allah Mand finally pulled out a cigar from his drawer and put it in his mouth. When the fire was lit, poisonous smoke spread widely throughout the room. Allamand took a sip of it and coughed violently. Strangulation, it seemed to be in agony.

But after taking another sip, he slowly extinguished the cigar His lips his his red from a cough hissed like a snake.

“Prince Ludwig is too weak. He's not from royalty, he should have been born as a shepherd in a rural area and played a grass flute. He might have been a little better because of the sense of crisis if he had at least had a competitor. But that's not the case, the king couldn't see it and decided to use his illegal son of his.”

“Use? Lapels?”

“Okay. Should I say some kind of stimulus? By constantly comparing the crown prince to him, it stimulates competition and makes him work with venom even out of humiliation. Why did the king bother to announce him as his paternity? He was trying to instill a sense of crisis in the Crown Prince, who is so complacent. Through the existence of half-brothers.”

“That's ridiculous…….”

“But there is something the king has not yet calculated. Lafel, that illegitimate son had a much stronger presence than I expected. He just wielded his sword moderately, and it was enough to pay for food in the civil war. He's an illegal child , so he dares to rise to the level of sword master, Won. He It has no choice but to become a thorn in the eye that kills the halo of the crown prince.”

Alla Mand twitched the corners of her mouth with a nonchalant eyeHis her thin eyesher her which peeked through his veins her blinked quicklyEvery time that happenedcruel realities came out of her mouth

“Sooner or later he'll be even more powerful than Crown Prince Ludwig. Even more so if he were a sword master. People will have a relatively low opinion of the Crown Prince because they worship him, regardless of you. He stands out too He's not just an illegitimate child, he should have been born as crown prince instead of Ludwig.”

“…….”

“Do you think the King would tolerate such a thing? Don't be mistaken. In any case, what the king wants is 'reinforcement of royal authority'. Anything that gets in the way of that goal, whether Bavaria or his own illegal son, must be cleared of guilt. It's just a matter of when and how to clean it up.”

Annette's hands her trembled as she listened to Allamand's words her. Tears welled up in her wide pink eyes. It was so unfair. I couldn't understand why reality was so cruel only to Lapel. My heart was so tight that I wanted to shout at someone.

Annette saw Lafel as someone who was sincere with her sword. No matter how much he couldn't sleep or how bad his condition was, he never missed a single day of training. Rafel always gritted his teeth and swung his sword as best he could To overcome his own humble origins, and to prove his mettle to those who would point the finger at him.

But all of this actually made the king decide to cut off Lapel! Does an illegitimate child not have to be prominent or conspicuous? Do I have to live as if I don't exist, always dwelling on my subject, in accordance with the level that others determine as appropriate?

It was an insult! It was a terrible insult to Rafel's soul his, and it was the worst way to deny his existence his from the root. How could a person called his real father play with people like this? Allah Mand saw Annette's shocked eyes at her and clicked her tongue.

“Now you understand why the king married you to that illegitimate son? The king deliberately stole you, who was Crown Prince Ludwig's fiancee, and gave it to him. Through this, he stimulated the crown prince, and made him harbor a venom like never On top of that, I gave more strength to Lapel, who was from a lowly background, and made her a more plausible rival. So far, the King's plan has worked out quite well.”

Allamand took another new cigar from the drawer and lit it.As he clutched his neck in pain, Allah Maja took another sip of his cigar.Then, for the first time, he let out his thick smoke and spoke his mind.

“Now do you understand why I was against Rafel, that bastard? He is the king's most powerful puppet. It is used as much as it can be used, and eventually it will be eliminated at the hands of the king. Or else, Crown Prince Ludwig could handle it himself. But that would be a bit far fetched.”

“Stop it, Father. I don't want to hear more.”

“No, let me hear it. At that time, you will be eliminated as well. Because the king married you two for that purpose in the first place. It's like when you throw out the trash, you put it in one place. Do You understand what I am saying? You both die next to him.”

At last, tears flowed from Annette's eyes her.He always wanted to find out the truth.He was determined to dig everything out and make everything right in this lifetime.However, at this point, the life of the previous life, which had died Without knowing anything, felt more peaceful.

Only now did Annette know. Why did the king bother to involve Lapel's only maternal uncle, Ben March, in this business? And even after the job was done, why did he keep watching over Ben March?

'Ben March wasn't actually a weapon to catch me, it was a weapon for rappelling.'

The king probably saw an opportunity and made up Ben March as having some sort of relationship with Lafel.And the real culprit of all this will be woven into the way that Lapel was.The reason could have been any number. Either Raffel, feeling inferior to his half-brother Ludwig, dared to steal the bride, or that he planned this by stealing a Bavarian daughter for future usurpation of the throne.

Anyway, kidnapping Celestine, the future crown princess, and framing Annette were all serious sins. What would happen if Lapel's past his, which had been buried all along, and the identity of his birth mother his were also revealed? Off from the Deltium social perhaps he would even be stripped of the title he had been given. He was purely playing in the hands of the king.

The already conservative Deltium nobles didn't like Rapel's existence. Only the King's false favor and Rafel's rare talent silenced them. They will never miss this opportunity and will bite the lapels until they are tattered. Until he is no longer a threat to the crown prince.

'Ah, Lapel… I might like this.'

Annette pressed hard on her heart, trying to calm herself somehow.It was a future that hadn't happened yet.He didn't know that maybe he could keep his rappel if he was good at it and with luck.Leave Rafel in any crisis.

Just in time, he had captured and imprisoned Ben March at the right time, so at least the king's worst had been averted. Annette was deeply relieved about this.

But Allamand did n't seem to have the slightest desire to be on Rafel's side his.He rubbed the cigar with his fingertips and spat it out indifferently.

“So, prepare for a divorce. Don't think about it for nothing.”
