Chapter 141
Rafel frowned and prepared to put down Allamand.It was just at that moment that life was about to rise from his body.A little bit of glitter popped out from over the bushes.As if saying hello to Rafel.
“That….. . “
Rafel's eyes widened as he looked at it with his eyes narrowed. Annette, who knew nothing, looked back and asked him.
“What's wrong, Lapel? What else is there?”
“No. Nothing. Go quickly.”
Rapel frowned and turned around. I don't know what the main character over the bush is thinking, but I was going to leave it alone for now. You must have an idea of your own. 'T just a stupid idea.
But he wasn't out of trouble yet. It was the moment when Annette and her party were about to move to join the other nobles. Suddenly, along with the sound of chatter, I felt the presence of people approaching this way. Over the bush was the figure of the king with a group of nobles behind him.
“Oh dear……. What kind of cruel scene is this?”
The king's gaze, which he had been looking around with a sorrowful expression, stopped somewhere. There, the king's men were scattered all over the place, dead. The nobles who saw this started whispering with startled eyes. .
The king looked around the corpses at a slow pace, and then stopped in front of one.The king, who had closed the eyelids of the dead corpse with his eyes wide open, had a sad expression on his face.
“I didn't know you guys would do this.”
The place where the king's frost-like gaze was directed was none other than Annette's party Her Suddenly, the king, wearing the mask of a righteous judge, shouted at Annette.
“How dare you explode the gunpowder, ruin the banquet Jim prepared, and even kill the men he sent to investigate!! I valued you and cherished you, how could you commit such an outrageous thing? Are you guys really challenging the dignity of the Deltium family!!”
The moment she heard that scream, Annette gritted her teeth. The trap the king had dug was not yet over. He must have been intent on blaming Annette for the explosion.
The nobles fell silent at the king's solemn command. In that silence, eyes of criticism and suspicion flew in and stuck. Annette, who was all dirty with dirt and ash, bit her lip at the humiliation she felt for the first time. Mouth now, it could have made the situation worse.
Celestine was the first to move while she quickly shook her head.
“I apologize, Your Majesty, Annette is innocent. These are not the ones who came to investigate the explosion. They tried to kill me without fail. The Marquis of Kanesis was only trying to protect me. However, they wielded a sword at the Marquis of Kanesis, and even cut and wounded the Duke of Allamand who blocked it. Look!”
Celestine, who desperately defended Annette, pointed towards the fainting Allamand His arms his his wrapped in torn cloth, were bloody all over, making them look more ghastly than they really are.
A commotion spread among the nobles who saw this. Allamand, who is always flawless and perfect, faints with a look like that! It must have been an emergency situation. However, the king's face was as calm as ever. Celestine's testimony of her.
“Do you know what you are claiming? Are you claiming that my loyal subordinates are just rogue boats that only attack women! Even if you were deceived, you were firmly deceived, it seems foolish!!”
“Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Wherever the Marquis of Kanesis goes…….”
“Shut that mouth!! As soon as the explosion occurred, Jim dispatched his subordinates and told them to find the culprit!! However, all of my men who were collecting evidence and looking for the culprit were massacred!! Are the real culprits, so what could it be if you didn't try to kill my subordinates to silence them?”
In the first place, there was no answer to the decision and to overturn it.In particular, if the instigator was someone more powerful than himself, it would be much more difficult to respond.The king had already singled out Annette as the scapegoat, and Celestine was nothing more than a pesky fly to stop it.
“You have been tricked, Celestine Keers. What a fool! I admired your father's loyalty to her, but the daughter-in-law is so stupid that she can't even follow her father's heels to her. How could it be so incomprehensible ?”
Her contempt her, her childish eyes, her tongue-tied, her cel gratis drove her to a halt.
“All of this is a play created by the Marquis of Kanesis!! After putting you in danger of an explosion, it must have been a ulterior motive to make up for the mistakes of the past by pretending to save you! Side of the real culprit like an idiot without seeing through these things!! Do you think you can handle the heavy responsibility of being the Crown Princess?”
The king's enormous authority pressed down on Celestine as harshly as if it were about to be crushed. With the gossips of the aristocrats heading this way, Celestine, who did not have much experience in social circles, couldn't help but lose her spirit her The flying gaze of the king seemed to Pierce himself like a blade.
'No, if you do this, Annette will be accused of the culprit…….'
Celestine's lips her trembled, desperately searching for words to retort. However, she was threatened with her life several times in a short period of time, and her mind was at its limit. Her white hair couldn't write any response. , The person who took the place of Celestine was Lapel.
“Your majesty.”
His blue eyes his, shining brightly under his black eyebrows, looked exactly like Celgratis. Rafel wisely didn't say anything like “Why did you use sleeping incense on me?” It was because he knew very well that Celgratis would shamelessly deny it anyway Instead, Rafel gritted his teeth and explained only what happened after that.
“After the explosion, I went to the support to find my wife. And there I saw my wife being attacked. Her Excellency her, who tried to protect her, had already injured her. I had no choice but to kill them too.”
Celgratis said nothing. He seemed to wonder how Lafel, who had been poisoned with sleeping incense and drugs, was still standing there.
“By the sacred marriage vows of Deltium, I am obliged to defend my family. They drew knives at my wife and father-in-law, who did not dare to arm themselves. Died! This was justified self-defense. Please consider my statement, Your Majesty!”
Lapel spat out each word with great strength and hugged Allamand as if he were saying goodbye. His spirit his, as if he had been forged with a sword, and Allamand's face his, which seemed seriously injured, persuaded the audience. With confused eyes. The claims of the two sides differed from each other, so it was impossible to know what the truth was.
At this time, the king suddenly laughed out loud.
Haha!”
He laughed, as if the situation was ridiculous and he couldn't stand it. While everyone was silent and did not dare to open their mouths, only the King's laughter rang out. The king's eyes stopped laughing at some point, and it was Annette .
“You bitch is really cunning. It wasn't enough that he tricked Miss Celestine, and now he's bewitched my son as well. It seems that there is also a cunning snake lurking in your veins.”
“What do you mean, Your Majesty?”
Rafel frowned and asked again. When the King ignored me and continued to criticize Annette, Rafel also became angry. In the first place, Rafel was angry from the moment he realized that I had been hit by a sleeping scent.
However, even the best sword master could not stand on the king's head.
“You shut up!! He's like an idiot who's blinded by women and doesn't even know what's wrong!! I will reveal the true nature of that cunning thing from now on!!”
“Your majesty!! She is truly innocent!!”
“She told him to shut up!! If you say one more word from now on, all the family members of the Bavarian family will be arrested and locked up!! At that time, it will be the royal advisor, not Jim, who will conduct the investigation!!”
Lafel gritted his teeth at the words that were no different from threats. His face his turned red with anger. Seeing this, Annette calmly grabbed his arm. And I walked out on my own behind Rafel's back who was trying to protect me. She was a mess of ashes and dust, she bowed to the king as gracefully as ever.
“I apologize, Your Majesty, but I was foolish and did not fully understand Your Majesty's deep intentions of her. Why do you think I deceived others?”
The king looked at Annette's face with contempt. She seemed calm enough to think she was a woman who was being questioned by a king. As the king clicked her tongue, she began to pressure Annette, as he had done to Celestine.
“Do you really think Jim cannot see through your shrewd nature? When you were still a candidate for Crown Princess, I treated you like a daughter. But you betrayed my trust! Surely you haven't forgotten about kidnapping and trying to kill your competitor Jim thought of the old friendship and covered it up, but in fact, it was only the beginning!”
The King had the audacity to question Annette, citing the false accusations I had laid.It was a secret that only the three families involved in the case were supposed to know.However, the king decided to use this as his means of attacking his of.
