Chapter 139

In fact, there was a reason why Lapel appeared so late. The king was no fool, and he knew he had to let go of the lapel to lure Annette into a trap.

“You are indeed proud, my son. Since I have reached the level of a sword master, I cannot congratulate you with words alone. I have a present prepared for you, so come with me.”

The place where the king took him was the royal waiting room at the back of the banquet hall. It was the first time Rafel, an illegal son, had come here. At first, he was far from the world of society and rarely attended banquets That's why he didn't notice that something was wrong.

The moment I walked through the golden curtain hanging over the entrance to the waiting room, a strange scent waxed from inside.

'Is it air freshener?'

In a way, it was like sandalwood, or like the scent of magnolia. Do royal waiting rooms use such strong air fresheners? There was no way to know from Rappelling, who was visiting for the first time. However, because of his instinctive reluctance, he involuntarily stopped his steps.

“Why is that, Lapel? Come on in.”

At this time, the king put on the mask of a benevolent father and skillfully whispered to Rafel. Grabbing Lapel's arm in a straightforward manner, he gently pulled him inward. Like a cunning fox luring its prey. Seeing Rafel's furrowed eyebrows, the king laughed out loud as if it didn't matter.

“Ah, it seems the scent is too strong for you. Right? Today, attendants were carrying perfumed oil for a banquet, and it was said that they broke it in the front hallway. So the smell is still there.”

Rafel frowned. Not only did the air freshener smell in the room, but something unpleasant came from the king's mouth. Smell similar to bitter bile. It smelled similar to that of a black medicine brewed in the East Continent.

However, it was impossible to refuse the king's order just because the smell was unpleasant.He thought he should get the gift and get out of here as soon as possible.I was nervous because I was worried about Annette,who would be left alone outside .

“Your majesty. Excuse me, what gifts are you giving me?”

“Oops. I'm worried that someone might not be a man who uses a sword, so I'm impatient. Now, take a seat for now. Please tell me how you feel about becoming a sword master.”

Rafel realized that he had been captured by the king's will. The face of the king, who leaned back leisurely with his hands clasped together, was soft enough to thrill. Because of that, Lapel could intuit that Annette was in danger. His, instead of sitting down, bluntly spat out words of rejection.

“Sorry. My wife is not feeling well today, so I think she needs to stay.”

“…… You seem to be on good terms with the hostess. I was worried that it was an arranged marriage, but it really worked out.”

Contrary to his benevolent words his, the king's eyes did not smile at all when he said that. He even deliberately alienated Lafel, fearing that he might get close to Annette. Because of this, Lapel had the worst first impression of Annette before his marriage to her. She was a vicious woman who would do anything to become the Crown Princess, that was her first impression of her.

Lapel, who clearly remembered the king's tricks of deliberately promoting such prejudice, replied in a barbed tone.

“It's a marriage arranged by His Majesty, so should n't we get along well? I'm worried about her wife her, so I'll risk my rudeness and get up first. Please forgive my rudeness.”

Rafel, who was about to get up from his seat and lower his head, suddenly became dizzy Why am I like this?He shook his head and tried to come to his senses his his, but this time his legs his he gave out.

Lapel, who had been staggering, finally fell to his knees in front of the king. He clenched his teeth and tried to keep himself steady, but instead fell to the floor. The first strong scent that Raffel smelled upon entering the waiting room was actually a sleeping scent. However, it was the first time he had experienced the scent of sleep, and he didn't notice it because there were so many scents mixed together.

From the beginning, the king intended to call Lapel here and put him to sleep. To this end, he deliberately took drugs that made him resistant to sleeping scents. It was for this reason that Rafel smelled the unpleasant smell of medicine from the king's mouth .

'No matter how much I'm a sword master, there's nothing I can do about sleeping.'

The King looked down at Lapel and smiled in satisfaction. Even if the sword master was strong, that was a superficial story. They are also human after all, so the internal organs of the body were normal. Medicine, you have no choice but to be defeated.

“Oh, the banquet must have been very tiring. I can't help it. Get some rest here.”

I'll help you out. The king muttered a little and got up from his seat and approached Rafel. Then, he took a small needle out of his arms and stabbed Lapel in several places. He smoked a lot of sleeping incense, but he injected the drug into his body his separately just in case he did not know.

Rafel tried desperately to stay awake even when his body his was not moving. The blood that had been bitten into his mouth was oozing out. However, when the king personally inserted a needle soaked in sleeping pills into his veins, he could not stand it any longer. Rafel's consciousness eventually sank into a deep swamp.

Celgratis kicked Lapel with his foot, expressionless. Of course, Rafel, who had fallen asleep as if fainting, did not even move. The king with a satisfied smile gently stepped on Lapel's head with his fancy shoes. A ghastly murmur escaped his wrinkled lips .

“Wait a little. It's not your turn yet.”

All the business is over now. The main character of today's banquet was Rapel, but in reality the busiest person would be the king. But it was fine. Isn't it the role of parents to pave the way for their children's future? Ludwig, who is weak in heart, can't do it himself, he has no choice but to substitute Dori as his father.

Celgratis turned his back and left the waiting room without regret. He didn't have to look back at Lapel, who had fallen to the floor. Given the amount of sleeping pills I injected, I wouldn't wake up for at least a day .

If left as it was, Rafel probably wouldn't have woken up until the whole thing was over. But Rafel had an assistant. Although he was precisely Annette's helper.

Rylin, who flew in through the window like a cat, looked around her with a grim expression. And I succeeded in capturing the target I was looking for. Rylin suddenly frowned as she approached, stepping on her carpet with her shiny boots.

“What does this smell like?”

The thick smell of sleeping incense still filled the waiting room. Unlike Rapel, who is not immune to drugs and incense, Raileen, who is engaged in her afterlife her, was well aware of the identity of this fragrance. Inside her with just one wave of his hand her.

Rylin, who tilted his head back and savored the refreshing night air, slowly approached Rapel. She then looked down at Lafel's sleeping face as if she had passed out. The moment he saw the blood trail running down his sharp jawline in her, Raileen's eyes narrowed.

“Did you even bite your tongue?”

I wish it was like that. A subtle smile appeared on Ryan's face. He was a clever man, and he readily perceived Annette's change of heart her. She no longer showed any interest in the new land. After it was all over.

So she could get to know Rylin. That she had n't spoken yet of her mouth her, but her mind her to leave her was gone. And the reason is the man lying here. Laylin, whose face had lost her smile her, bent over her waist to check the condition of her lapel her.

But, of course, Lapel was alive, and she smelled like sleep on him. Rylin, who closed Rapel's eyelids, clicked her tongue. She seemed to be quite determined, and she used her medicine to a near-lethal dose. Wake up even though there was such a big commotion outside.

She took her hand away from Lapel and Laylin clapped her hands in annoyance.Then, to her surprise her, a cloud of smoke rushed from Lapel's body, and it flew far and far out of her window.

“Cough Cough!!”

Not only that, but a handful of drugs came out of Rafel's mouth along with a violent cough.Rylin had removed her sleeping incense and drugs with her magic.

Finally, Lapel's tightly closed eyelids twitched. He blinked a few times with his cloudy eyes, then struggled to get up. At first, it was difficult even to control his limbs, but fortunately Lapel was a sword master. Was able to come to his senses his soon.

“You are up now. Isn't it a bit naive for a king of a country to use drugs in Sleep Hyang?”

Lylin, who was waiting for Rafel to wake up with her arms crossed, smiled. Then Rafel looked at Raileen with confused eyes. At first, Lafel, who didn't know who he was, eventually brought back his memory. From Lapel's mouth his.

“That pervert then.”

It was quite shocking to see Raileen wearing a maid uniform in her first meeting her. Maybe that's why it was strange to see her dressed in a formal dress in front of her eyes. Her face was white and beautiful, and as long as she kept her mouth shut, there was no other nobleman.

After hearing Lapel's direct evaluation, Raileen laughed out loud. It was pleasant to have someone openly call me a pervert in a long time. Originally, I would have turned it into a toad, but I couldn't do that today. That Lapel had to play.

Rylin, who helped the staggering Lapel to stand up, threw the bait leisurely.

“Shouldn't you go and see it soon?”

“What?”

“Looks like my client is in danger. If we don't leave now, we'll be late.”

Rafel's breathing stopped for an instant Grinning at this, he looked at Lailin with bright blue eyes Certainly, it was like a beast, and even Laylin, who was not afraid of her world Her her felt cold in her heart for a moment.

“Where is she now?”
