Chapter 134

Soon after, the sound of footsteps light like a butterfly came from the top of the stairs. The graceful sound of footsteps, moving lightly and unhurriedly, was familiar to Lapel. And the moment I saw Annette approaching me, I frozen on the spot.

“… How about it? Are you okay?”

A dazzling sunlight cast a halo behind Annette, who stood a few steps up. As she looked this way, she tilted her head, and her platinum feet her, which were much paler than usual, shimmered like moonlight. Annette, with her hair gracefully twisted up and decorated with platinum jewels, looked like the day moon that had stepped out a little too early.

Rafel looked up at her with the feeling that her heart was being held. Her dark navy dress was daringly cut in the front and back, revealing her pure white skin. The neckline, waistband, and hem of the dress she were like roses, with crimson red lips.When her eyes her, which had become more alluring than usual because of the make-up her, looked at her, it was as if she was suffocating.All he wanted to do was to hug Annette right here at the ball and take her to the bedroom.

“Lapel?”

Annette held back a laugh and quietly called his her name her her Stiffened in his place her her she scanned his face her with wide eyes and his mood her her was strangely lifted She felt like a fatal femme fatale.

Annette took a step closer to him, enjoying his gaze at her. And he stopped his steps on the top of the two steps. Rafel, who had always been a head taller than himself, was finally at eye level.

“Have you waited long? I'm sorry for the late preparation.”

The moment our eyes met, Rafel's cold face turned red.As usual, he covered his face with one hand and avoided Annette's eyes from her.Seeing this, Annette somehow wanted to be mischievous.Annette, gently holding his hand his, pushed his face her close to his nose his and asked subtly.

“How do I look today? Are you pretty?”

“…….”

“Isn't it great? Maybe it's because it's a bit different from what I usually wear.”

When Lafel couldn't bring herself to speak, Annette put on a look of disappointment. When she lowered her eyelashes and pretended to be sad, Rafel responded urgently without even realizing it.

“Pretty! Seriously, pretty.”

He was so flustered that he shouted as he unconsciously grabbed Annette's hand her. Annette's eyes widened at the overly powerful answer, and then she smiled softly. Even though it was an answer that only popped out when I stabbed his side of her, I was Happy to feel sincerity without adding or subtracting.

“Thank you, Lapel. You look really nice today too.”

Annette, who blushed slightly, smiled and bowed her head. Now, two steps up, she could kiss Lapel without much difficulty. At her unexpected and bold touch her, Rafel widened her eyes and froze. From her gripped his heart her tightly.

Cho Ok-

The sound of the gap between the two lips touching was lovely. Now, Rafel's face was so hot it couldn't get any redder. Seeing this, Annette laughed out loud and pulled him by the hand.

“Now, let's go. The hero of the day.”

It wasn't empty words when she praised him for being cool. The moment Annette saw him standing on the porch, she felt her surroundings her blur. Dressed in a dark navy blue robe, he was very tall and attractive. Manly face, perfect figure, and dark eyes, his gaze was drawn in by itself. In particular, the crimson red vest tailored with Annette added a more dangerous color to Lapel's cold beauty.

'It would have been nice if today was a truly pure celebration.'

However, the place they were heading to now was a battlefield that was nothing short of thin ice. Annette consoled herself with regret and climbed into the carriage with him. Today, the road to the palace seemed particularly short. Visible in the distance, Annette held his hand and whispered softly.

“Lapel. I intend to keep my eyes on Celestine as much as possible today. If things turn dangerous, I'll send a signal to Mr. Rileen right away. Then he will find you and bring you to me.”

Rafel silently nodded his head. Annette, relieved by this, was preparing to get off the carriage. Lapel reached out her hand her and pulled her Annette, holding her tightly in her arms her. A more serious face than ever.

“Take care, Annette. Don't get hurt.”

Please. Rafel hugged her tighter as he handed her a favor that was close to her plea for the first time. It was a desperate gesture, like a wolf afraid of losing its mate. At this, Annette, who was heartbroken, kissed his cheek her gently.

“Do not worry. I will never die leaving you.”

It was enough to leave this lonely man alone once.Annette's eyes her her were calm, but he was more determined than ever.It was the kind of look he could n't help but believe.

Rafel realized that the trembling in his fingertips had subsided. Although Annette was a slender woman who had never learned swordsmanship or anything, she really had a strong heart. As she assimilated into her, her anxiety in her lapel, she also slowly subsided. Who lowered her eyes and smiled softly, held out her hand towards her.

“Go now, madam.”

“Gladly.”

Annette smiled and crossed her arms around his strong arms her.

“Oh my, look over there! The Marquis of Kanesis and the couple! A sword master at such a young age. Awesome!”

“How…… They are a really good pair. Is that the dress code for couples that is popular in other countries these days?”

“It's the first time I've seen the Marquis of Kanesis wear a dress like that. He It's like a different person, but what can I say… That style suits you surprisingly well. It makes me want to wear it too. “

People whispered as they watched Annette and Lapel enter together. Who might not be a married couple, the appearance of them walking in with the hem of the wedding dress that was made together was like a painting. In particular, some noble ladies brushed at the sight of Lapel matching Annette's stride her.

The sight of Lapel, who was much taller and sturdier than his wife, paying all his attention to Annette with that cold face was nothing more than a surprise.So there was a corner that made the viewers flutter.It seemed that only my wife could be seen in Rafel's deep blue eyes. Who could not be thrilled with such a strong look from such a proud man?

But despite the people's whispers, they walked on looking only ahead. The crowd that had gathered did not dare to block Annette and Lapel's way, and split on both sides. What could be seen between them was a large, heavy throne.

On a high platform where only one person could sit in Deltium, Celgratis looked down from there.The mouth his with a fake smile imitated a benevolent voice.

“You have come, proud son of Deltium. I am truly satisfied with a talented person like you. Come closer and show me your face.”

Lapel's hand, which was holding onto Annette's, got a little stronger. He seemed angry at the thought of the heinous things the king had done so far. As if to soothe him, Annette gently ran her thumb down the back of her hand her, where the veins were swollen. And he gladly led the rappel and bowed his head before the king.

“All this glory is thanks to Your Majesty's great grace. Great Sun of Deltium, I hope you will enjoy happiness for a long time.”

Annette, who had been thoroughly educated by the Bavarian family, did not waver at all on her face her. Her manners were impeccable, and her voice of gratitude was like a spring breeze. The king, who looked down at Annette with dry, incomprehensible eyes eventually smiled.

“Okay. I am truly glad that I welcomed a woman like you as her daughter-in-law her. The reason why Rafel has made such amazing achievements as she is now is probably because you were by her side of her and supported her her”

“It is an exaggeration, Your Majesty.”

Annette smiled harmlessly like a single flower.Laughter came out naturally, like breathing.Yes, it must have been embarrassing to welcome her as her daughter-in-law her.It's just a problem because he's too willing to be pushed to the cliff of Hoshitamtam.

Fortunately, it seemed that Annette was not the only person who was uncomfortable with face to face. The king, who had been scanning Annette with searching eyes, eventually turned his head.

“I want to have more conversation with you, but since today's main character is different, let's end it here. Come this close, Lapel.”

It was as expected. Before the king did anything, he was determined to somehow separate Lafel and Annette. If he, who had reached the level of a sword master, made up his mind to stay by Annette's side his, even the king would not be able to use his hand his.

I expected it, but I felt dirty when the king was going to do what he wanted. Lapel straightened his knees and glanced down at Annette before taking a step. Then Annette rose from her seat and gave a small smile.

“Come on, Lapel. I'll even say hello to people.”

Annette had to leave her post her unless the king wanted to talk to her She turned around, leaving Lapel's eyes behind her The full-scale war had just begun.
