Chapter 138

Allamand's noble purple eyes, bearing royal blood, looked down with contempt at the man who had fallen to the floor.What flowed from his thin lipshis was a declaration that had nothing to do with loftiness.

“No one dares to harm the blue-blooded Bayern. Nobody!”

Annette looked up at Allamand with a blank expression. His platinum blonde hair his, which was always perfectly swept, was particularly dished today. Following Annette's advice his, he took off his cloak and his robes he were all stained with ash and dust. And graceful father his, who always valued stature and dignity, was breathing hard now.

'Maybe in this turmoil…… Did he find me?'

He did n't even know if it was just his elixir his. When Alamand heard this, he would sneer and turn away, as though it was not worth replying to at all. But Annette felt that she saw a very strange emotion in Allamand's purple eyes as she reached out to me.

It was nothing but relief. The relief of having found Annette in time. Relief that she managed to survive the explosions and flames.

“Father.”

After calling him, Annette was speechless for a moment.For some reason, it felt like tears were about to burst out.Is it because it's right after going through so many urgent and dangerous moments?

But now was not the time for this. Annette stood up holding his cold hand and hurriedly checked Celestine's condition her. Blood was dripping from her ankle, which had been cut by her knife her. Allah Mand, who saw this, fortunately took out his Handkerchief from within and held it out. After tying it tightly over Celestine's wound to stop the bleeding, Annette asked Allamand.

“Please support me, Father. Celestine can't walk now because of her injury to her.”

Allamand's eyes narrowed. He was recently in a very fierce political confrontation with the Marquis of Keirs. Because of the previous kidnapping, the Marquis of Keirs is hostile to Bavaria. He hated Annette and Allamand for kidnapping and trying to harm his precious daughter. Knowing that the true culprit exists.

Anyway, it was a very, very unpleasant situation for Allamand. Therefore, Celestine, the daughter whom the Marquis of Keirs cherished so much, could not look pretty. Especially since she's going to beat Annette and become the Crown Princess instead.

“Please, Father. Celestine is a dear friend of mine.”

Annette begged him again as he looked down at Celestine with an expressionless face. In front of Allamand's cold gaze, Celestine was just as stiff as a mouse before a snake. Allah Mand, looking down at the pitiful figure, finally clicked his tongue and put down the kane in his hand. Then he turned his back and ordered to be cold.

“Get up.”

“…Yes?”

Celestine's eyes widened at her unexpected words.Then the squatting Ala Mand looked back annoyingly at him and scolded him.

“I don't like to say it twice.”

“Ha, but how….”

“Come on, Celestine! I will help you.”

Before Annette could stop her, she supported Celestine and put her on his back. Suddenly, as Annette ordered, Celestine wrapped her arms around Allamand's neck and stiffened. For me to be carried by 'that' Duke of Bavaria! Rather have a broken leg than crawl on the ground and go alone.

“Here, this way!”

But sadly, Celestine's intentions were not reflected. They ran towards the garden doorway through which Allamand had entered. Remnants of walls and columns were scattered behind them as they burned and collapsed.

I went out and looked around, and this was a support quite far from the banquet hall. The flames and commotion in the banquet hall could only be seen in the distance. In any case, it seemed that I would have to go over there and join them in order to get help from people and return home.

“Hold on a little longer, Celestine. You just have to go there.”

It was Allamand who frowned at Annette's encouragement her. They say it's no use raising children. I couldn't even see the figure of Abi sweating profusely armed in a heavy dress on her back. Was far from physical labor, was having a hard time right now.

“Father, please try harder. Thank you so much for your help.”

At this time, as if she had read Allamand's complaints, Annette kindly comforted him. Although Allamand did not respond, his expression improved somewhat. As Annette said, in order to be freed from this heavy burden quickly, she had to go over there and join her.

Grabbing a ray of hope, they moved at a faster pace than before. However, there was one point they overlooked, and that the king was not a very friendly person. Before I could get out of the dark backing, a group of men appeared in front of me.

“What kind of bastards are they!!”

Allamand shouted in a cold voice. Then one of the men stepped forward and bowed his head.

“Your Excellency, Duke of Bavaria. I didn't expect to be greeted here. Originally, our goal was the ladies in the back, but… Unfortunately, as long as you're here, I think you'll have to die with us. We are also in a position to follow the Myeong, so please understand.”

Unexpectedly, they were not wearing masks. When Annette looked at the man's face, which looked normal but had a strangely murderous look, chills ran down her spine. Why don't they cover their faces unlike the men I met inside?

“Wait! Why are you doing this to us? Tell me why!”

Annette tried to talk to her to pass the time and get more information. But instead of an answer, the only thing that came back was the cool sound of a knife being drawn. Men with blades shining blue in the moonlight carefully narrowed the encirclement and entered. It was clear to anyone that it was not a good intention.

Celestine noticeably stepped down from Allamand's back his her.Allah Mand, who turned them around to protect them, found his kane as was his custom.However, his Kane had left it on the floor when he was carrying Celestine on his back earlier.

“Under.”

Allamand laughed coldly at the hopeless situation. People in Bavaria were far from using their bodies. When Allamand was young, all he had to do was learn the basics of swordsmanship, close to culture. So, even with Kane in his hands, he would n't have resisted much.

Still, his name was the Duke of Bavaria, so he couldn't die lightly. He gritted his teeth and stepped forward to protect his daughter his and Celestine. However, in the next moment, it was Allamand who was turned behind his back. Annette, who bravely stepped in front of him, spoke in a trembling voice.

“Cover your ears from now on, Father. Celestine.”

Allah Manu frowned at what this meant.Celestine was dumbfounded by the unexpected words as well.But Annette did not pay attention to them.Clearing her throat with her determined expression, she was about to use her abilities of her.

“Annette!!”

From far away, a shout that bordered on howling was heard. It was a desperate call, like a mother who had lost her calf. Would it sound like this if a person's soy sauce was completely burned? It was so shocking that even the ruthless flinched at that earnest call and turned around. Annette's eyes widened when she managed to recognize the voice.

“Lapel? Lapel! I'm here, help me…… Kyaaak!!”

As she hurried to sing lapel, her eyes suddenly went dark. It was because, when it seemed that an intruder might interfere, one of the desperate men pounced on Annette. The culprit who took the sharp edge of the sword instead was none other than Allamand.

“Kaugh!!”

Allah Mand, who had cut his arm while wrapping his arms around Annette, let out a low moan. But the man seemed to be lacking in this, fixed his sword and raised it again. This time, the point of the sword aimed at Celestine .

From the beginning, the king's goal was clear. To kill Celestine and place the blame on Annette. So, to further incite hated towards Celestine's father her, the Marquis of Keirs, and hit the Duke of Bavaria. Therefore, the king's men intended to Cut Celestine's throat directly.

“No, Celestine!!”

Annette raised a mournful scream and blocked Celestine's way her. Then the man with his tongue clenched in annoyance raised his fist. He could not kill Annette on the spot because she had to be a criminal. Because of her, he intended to use her violence to get rid of her.

However, before the fist could reach Annette, something flew from behind her and struck the man in the back of her.His unexpected attack her threw him to his knees in front of him, unable to even scream.A sword, shining white .

“Annette, are you okay?”

Rafel, who had run up to her before she knew it, hurriedly asked. When he saw that Annette was in danger, he grabbed his knife and threw it through the man's back her. And, easily passing the other group of people who were wary of me with just footsteps, I approached Annette in the blink of an eye. It was truly a ghostly movement. However, Lapel, who showed off this amazing movement, was completely sold on Annette.

“You, where did you get hit? Are you okay?”

Lafel ran her hands trembling and ran Annette up and down, caring her face and arms to see if there were any injuries. It was as if he couldn't see anything other than Annette. Thanks to this, Celestine and Allamand, who were pushed out of Rafel's field of view, made a confused expression.

At this time, Rafel's sharp eyes finally discovered the burns left on Annette's hand.

“You are hurt. Why is this what did they do?”

Annette's hands her, which had always been white and pretty, were burnt red. Anyone can see that it was a burn caused by the fire, but Lafel, who lost his reason, jumped in anger. She was a wife who could not hold her hand her tightly even once, fearing that if she squeezed her, she would disappear, or if she blew on her, she would fly away. But what kind of swollen liver dared to hurt Annette?

Lafel, who took her eyes off Annette for the first time, glanced at the masked people with a lifelike gaze. His hand his touched his waist like a habit and he searched for his sword her. Earlier had no chance of staying there.

“Well, okay. This is enough for you guys.”

Lapel, who randomly picked up a long twig that had fallen on the floor, bared his teeth like a beast.Then, to his surprise his, the branch he held in his hand his shook with a deep blue light.It was the Sword Master's sword skill.
