Chapter 119

Annette laughed awkwardly when she heard Celestine's lively complaint after her running out of the fight.He could n't help but feel sorry for what happened because of him.

“I'm sorry you quarreled with your father, Celestine. I'm sorry.”

“Daughter is always a fool, daughter is a fool! They won't listen to me when it's like this!!”

Celestine replied with her blushing face her. She ran annoyingly through her own brown hair her. She didn't realize it herself, but she already looked just like her father her, the Marquis of Keers. Without knowing that, raise her head.

“So, Annette. Why don't you show my dad some proof? The coachman we caught, for instance. Now you're restraining yourself. Could I show him to my father for a second? Then you might believe it.”

“I do not know. I'm not sure if that's a good way to be honest, Celestine. You know we have to be careful. It's not that I doubt the Marquis, but…… Rather, because of this, the fact that we have him may be known to His Majesty.”

Annette lowered her golden eyelashes and replied calmly. It was an appropriate answer for this situation, but it wasn't just that.

Ian, the coachman who carried out the kidnapping at the king's instruction, was in fact Rafel's maternal uncle. If he misleads him in front of the Marquis of Keers and brings up the story of Lafel's real mother…… Literally, a catastrophe was about to happen. It was even more dangerous because the Marquis of Keirs was gritting his teeth and volunteering to become the king's subordinate his.

Fortunately, Celestine was n't a bad brainer either, so she understood Annette's words her right away.She grumbled as she slumped beside her sofa and leaned against her.

“Ugh, I don't know why you don't believe me. I'm afraid that my father will have a big accident without me knowing. Think of it as something you truly do for me! It's not that he does n' t understand his father's feelings, but he won't be able to communicate. I'm dying of boredom!”

“I deeply sympathize with that feeling.”

It was the same with Annette, who had a father who didn't know what to do. She trembled, thinking of her her own father her, like her white sand her, lurking around her body her. Anyway, it wasn't a greeting that would make Allah Mand the Marquis of Kiers happy, so he might have been rather fortunate.

It took some time for things to sort out anyway. Until then, it seemed better to leave the political world to the quarrels of my fathers for the time being. Annette's job now was to find evidence of what the king had done. She patted Celestine's shoulder her, who still had horns, and soothed her calmly.

“Don't worry too much, Celestine. If we do a good job and get conclusive evidence…… Your Excellency the Marquis will believe us too. The truth will eventually come out.”

“I hope that day comes sooner. I really want to take that coachman away right now and accuse you in front of the nobles! But it's unfair that we can't do that even if there is evidence.”

“I can't help it. A pawn can capture a king only on a chessboard.”

Annette shrugged her shoulders. Not one coachman dared to accuse the king. Rather, there was nothing to say if the king was angry and said, 'This lowly fellow dares to frame Jim!' All the other palace attendants who took part in this were after being cleaned by the king.

“Ah, Celestine. I have news I want to tell you.”

Annette felt the need to refresh the atmosphere at this point. Celestine was immediately interested in the new topic brought up in a soft voice.

“Is there any news you want to tell me?

“As you know today my husband went to see her majesty her her. What do you think could be the reason her?”

“Um, well. I don't know.”

Celestine pondered as she looked at Annette's smiling face her her.In fact, she did n't like Annette's husband very much.Originally, a handsome man who knew well that he was proud was unlucky.Less fortunate.

But he seemed to be a good husband, at least to Annette. Hadn't Annette took care of herself the other day as well, wondering if she had caught a cold? On top of that, the decision to side with her wife instead of my biological father, Wang, was quite moving. It's easy to say, but it's actually not that easy.

This was a big decision that even Celestine, who hated Lapel, had to admit.But she could n't figure out why Rafel had entered the palace to meet the king today.Annette, looking into Celestine's dim green eyes her, lowered her voice to a whisper.

“Actually, Celestine. This is my first time telling you. Recently, she became a sword master.”

“… I beg your pardon? You said you were a sword master, right now?!”

What the hell does this mean? Celestine, she thought, jumped up in surprise. The Sword Master was a rare talent, one in a generation. Even so, it was only occasionally produced in large places like the Chapelle Empire, and rarely in a single kingdom like deltium!

It was truly a huge event. Shocked by this surprising news, Celestine thought to herself.

'As expected, unlucky human!!'

Rafel really was a man who had everything except lineage and personality. Celestine recalled that aggressive and shameless face and shuddered at her unknown inferiority. He used to be a proud man, but now that he has become a sword master, how stiff his neck he will be the next time we meet!

But unlike the jealous Celestine, Annette was looking farther ahead of her.She continued her words calmly with her eyes lost in her thoughts of her.

“Rappel will tell all the nobles she meets at the palace today that she has become a sword master. That way, rumors will spread faster. If that happens, even Your Majesty won't be quick to try to remove the lapel. No matter what anyone says, he has become a hero who will advance national prestige.”

“Then we can buy more time for a while. Yes?”

“Yes. At least for a while, the public eye will be on the Carnesys family, so they're pretty safe. Now that I've become a sword master, it's become even more difficult for His Majesty to remove the lapel.”

“It's kind of hard to say under these circumstances, but congratulations anyway! A sword master. It is indeed the glory of the Kanesis family!”

Celestine embraced Annette as tenderly as her own sister her. How surprised I was to hear that the King had recently attempted to poison Annette. Taking advantage of the fact that the Kanesis family is an upstart aristocrat, the meticulousness of infiltrating even the chief physician.

Celestine got goosebumps when she realized that they were dealing with the king of this country. Without Annette, he himself would have been unable to do either. He trembled with anxiety knowing that he was being swayed by the king like a puppet, but he wouldn't 't 't have dared to confront it.

“Oh, so what happened to the attending physician? Didn't you lock them up so that you could later testify?”

Celestine continued to ask Annette what she had been curious about while this topic had been brought up. Annette nodded her head at the question and elaborated.

“Yes. And I have instructed His Majesty to report periodically as before. That way you wouldn't know I noticed this. It looks like I'm having a person give instructions to my doctor, but I think I'll be able to catch that intermediary sooner or later. I dug a trap in advance.”

“It's also like Annette. There are no gaps.”

Celestine looked at Annette with involuntary admiration. She also thought she was good at holding her hand her. Celestine had no more nightmares since she and her boatmates her. Now it was her turn to lift her head and look ahead, out of the shadows of her past her. It was none other than Annette who gave her the courage to shake off her trauma.

“Thank you so much, Annette. You're doing so much, and I…… It's embarrassing that it doesn't seem to be of much help. But remember I'm always on your side You are now my dearest friend .”

Clasping her hands together, Celestine said shyly. With her green eyes of her, she had a cat-like impression, so even this expression looked particularly cute. Annette, who opened her eyes wide and listened to Celestine's confession her, smiled happily. Celestine's hand and whispered her peace.

“It is I who am grateful, Celestine. I am always grateful for your courage and friendship. Although I am neither the head of the Bavaria family nor the owner of the Kanesis family……. I promise you my name, Celestine. The two families I belong to will never forget your help.”

Annette, having finished her words, bowed her head and gave her dear kiss to Celestine's cheek, And she smiled brightly, curling her long golden eyelashes.

“Thank you, my Highness the Crown Princess.”

“…!!”

Celestine's face instantly turned red like a blush She was attacked unexpectedly Pressing her thumping chest her her and pulling her hand her out of her slinky her Annette was nice but she had a bad habit of punching people in the heart from time to time.

After exiting the king's throne room, Rafel lifted her head and looked up at the sky. By now, the day was getting dark. Wiping away the youthful fatigue between his sharp eyebrows his with his fingertips, he let out a long sigh. Always tiring. Especially on a day like today.

'…… I became a sword master?'

After hearing Rafel's report, the king gave a half-doubtful look as if he couldn't believe it at all. Unlike before, Lapel was able to read the quick calculations in those eyes. Of mastery of the sword was faster than expected, so it seemed that the plan had gone awry. As expected, Annette was a woman who knew how to look one step ahead.

'You have to spread the word that you have become a sword master as much as possible. That way we can buy time safely. When the world is in the spotlight, no matter how majestic he is, he won't be able to touch you carelessly.'

As Annette said, the king was completely distracted by the unprecedented state of being a 'sword master'. It was the second time in history that a sword master emerged from a kingdom like Deltium.

While the King was wary of Rafel's reaching such amazing heights, he was calculating how to use it to Deltium's advantage. Thanks to that, for the time being, he didn't seem to notice that the doctor he secretly planted was caught. This was a good thing.

After safely completing the mission given by Annette, Lapel turned his steps.He went home as soon as he could and he took her handher, he wanted to kiss her petal-like cheek her.However, there was someone standing in the way of Rapel.

'What is this again?'

…It was a landscape I had never experienced before.After confirming her opponent, a displeased look appeared on Rafel's face.It was none other than Prince Ludwig.
