Chapter 133

After giving her all the news, Rylin went back on track. Anyway, tomorrow, he too, dressed as an aristocrat, would be part of the celebration. And she kept an eye on Annette and Celestine, and if they were in danger, he would do something about it. Annette thought the fact that he would be at the same banquet was a relief to her heart.

'Since Mr. Raileen is really competent, he will definitely help us.'

Meanwhile, Rafel mobilized all her patience her and managed to say nothing to Raileen's face her But she decided to keep the door closed for the time being, where Rylin had flung the hem of her skirt her .Important event.

After all preparations had already been completed.The next day, Tina from Papillon's dressing room would come early in the morning to help them dress up.So Annette decided to go to bed earlier than usual.

'Because tomorrow will be a very tiring day.'

Although I lay down, I couldn't sleep easily because of my anxiety. My heart was pounding for no reason, and my head was complicated and dizzy. If I had been alone, it would have been a very scary and lonely night.

But now Lapel was lying on the bed beside her.With her strong figure her, like her big black panther her guarding her.I was really glad he was there.

“Come on, go to sleep. Don't worry unnecessarily.”

Lapel, who had put Annette on her arm pillow, brushed her hair behind her ear. And he kissed Annette's exposed cheek her without a word. Over and over, over and over again. The tender touch made Annette realize that he was deeply disturbed. It wasn't Annette who was worrying unnecessarily, it was Lapel.

“Do not worry. Everything will work out I'll make it that way somehow. Do you believe me?”

Annette, who raised her upper body her, lowered her head and gently rubbed the tip of her nose on the nape of his neck her. Then Rafel remembered something like a smile on her face for the first time. Perhaps it was because he was itchy The corners of his handsome mouth his curled up charmingly, and the white, even teeth exposed between his red lips he were sensual.

But after a while, Rafel's face turned serious again.He could not even express his anxiety verbally.It was because he was afraid of even that, fearing that the words would turn into seed.Noticing this, Annette gently patted his hard chest her her her

“Hey, are you having trouble sleeping? Close your eyes. I will cast a spell on you.”

His deep blue eyes her, which he had been staring at Annette as if possessed, slowly closed down.He intended to pretend to be deceived and trust her.Taking advantage of that gap, Annette started singing a quiet lullaby .

Sleep well, sweet heart

When the silver orb-like moon hangs over the black ridge

you will fall asleep

You will fall asleep in my arms.

Annette's lullaby, as always, worked very well. Because it was a rare spontaneous ability. Rafel fell into the swamp of soma before the first line of his lullaby was finished. A languid breath escaped him, and Annette kissed him on the cheek and lay back.

Even though he was clearly asleep, Lapel's arm his, which embraced him, was full of strength. It was as if someone was worried that someone might take Annette away while I was asleep. He felt strangely calmed down, perhaps because he had someone more anxious than he was next to him.

“Good night, Lapel. Please have a nice dream.”

She put her hand around his waist and hugged her tightly She prayed that he too would find comfort in her warmth of her as she did.

Originally, on the day of the prom, one had to wake up early in the morning and start dressing up. Annette sat down on the sofa with her head slightly dazed. Tina was the first guest to arrive before the gloomy light of dawn permeated the window. Bringing three of her assistants her, she clapped her hands and took the lead.

“Sally, you start the massage! That's why the makeup looks good. And Lisa! Iron the dresses and robes you brought back. Jane, why are you still? If you want to trim your hair, you have to heat up the tongs from now on!! Let everyone move quickly!”

Annette watched the fierce battle preparations taking place in her space Her.It was a scene he was used to, so he did n't think much of it.Her eyes her her met the newly tailored dress.It was a A very sophisticated, bold, and provocative dress.

'It definitely feels different from the ones I've worn before.'

The dark navy blue suit with crimson red accents would suit Lapel very well. It was doubtful whether she would suit him well, but… Still, it didn't matter. Annette was a wise woman, and she knew who the hero of the day was.

Lafel never took a day off from training, rain or shine. He always put on his training uniform at the appointed time and returned only after completing the day's practice. It sounds easy in words, but it is difficult to put into practice every day. He could tell from the look in his eyes how seriously he took his sword and how hard he was working.

'He deserves congratulations.'

By now, Rafel should have been getting dressed up by Tina's assistants for a while.Annette smiled slightly at the thought of his sullen expression of her.And as he always did, he gave himself over to Tina.

He really didn't mind if the new dress didn't suit him. After all, today wasn't meant to be a 'real' celebration anyway. Not only that, no matter how ill-suited the outfit was, it would at least look like a pair with a lapel. Annette thought that was enough.

But Annette's thoughts her were extremely complacent. She looked down on Tina, the designer of Delta's top dressing room. Tina was a designer who had been in charge of her clothes since she was still a little girl.

“This… Me?”

Looking in the mirror, Annette muttered involuntarily, “The 4th most common line of a female protagonist in a novel.” It was a scene that often appeared in hobby books, but she did not know that she would experience it. That this was not just a dress up, it was a change of person.

“How are you? Platinum hair suits you well too, right?”

Tina asked triumphantly, even more haggard than a few hours ago.As she said, Annette's sunny blonde hair had now become close to platinum.It was because it was sprinkled with a mixture of finely ground pearls and silver powder.Every time Annette turned her head, a subtle light reflected softly from her hair. Tina, who laughed heartily at this, added her explanation of her.

“The dress itself was so intense, I thought cold colors would work better than warm colors. The makeup was also done in a cool tone to match.

“I don't think I am. Even so, it seems to be me.”

Usually Annette's style she has a feeling close to spring.The skin was expressed in a warm cream color, and a lot of pink and coral colors were used for the cheeks and lips of her.But the reflection of herself in her mirror her now was winter.

The one who mixed more blue than usual changed Annette's skin to a cool tone. Thanks to that, colors that would not have suited her originally shined on Annette's face her. Lips her boldly harmonized. Wearing a navy blue dress with a deep cut in the back, Annette was just as enchanting as a dream horse that walked out of men's dreams.

“You are very beautiful, Annette. She was always like a girl, but before she knew it, she became such a great woman…….”

As Tina gazed at her own masterpiece, her tears her welled up in her emotion her. If Annette of the past felt more like a role model for all her girls her, now Annette is an alluring woman who would look at her with blushing cheeks. Annette, who was examining herself in her mirror of her, smiled and took Tina's hand her.

“Thank you for making it so pretty, Tina. After all, you are the only best designer I can trust.”

Knowing how to win people's hearts with just a few words of hers was Annette's strong point her. Tina was so moved that she almost cried. She smiled at her as she looked at her, running her hand through the lining Annette had put on the inside of her dress.

“And this lining…… Thank you for handling my request. It must have been a pretty daunting task.”

“What is it, Annette? I can do as much as I like.”

Tina, who winked professionally, took the lead in opening the door Now that everything was ready, it was time to show off Annette's new charm through her Deltium her.

“Your Excellency, the Marquis, is waiting for you at the front door. So go ahead, Miss Annette.”

Tina smiled triumphantly at the back of Annette, who was moving away lightly. Whatever Lafel had imagined, he must have been started as soon as he saw Annette. Then she will realize what a great designer she is.

'And next time I'll definitely wear pink.'

Tina's eyes flashed sharper than ever. Thanks to this, Rafel, who was waiting at the entrance without knowing how to look, felt a strange chill run down his spine.
