Chapter 142

Annette's past her husband revealed for the first time shocked the nobles.

“I beg your pardon? No way, the Marquis of Kanesis did such a despicable thing…….”

“Somehow, at that time, access to the royal palace was temporarily blocked and knights patrolled around, right? It must have happened because of the kidnapped Marquis Keirs.”

“How come, my God…What happened to the young lady of Marquis Keirs at that time? She It seemed to have returned safely, but really….”

It wasn't just Annette who was hit by the king's revelation of her. Celestine's name was also mentioned among the nobility. The fact that her future crown princess had been kidnapped was quite an exciting gossip. , A fallen aristocrat, lightly shone instinctively.

In response, Celestine shook her head and tried to say something.But the king restrained her by raising her hand her a little faster.

“Jim is talking to the Marquis of Kanesis right now. Don't you dare interrupt Jim's conversation, Celestine Keers! If again foolish remarks come out of his mouth his his, even your faithful father will not deliver her own daughter !!”

At this, Celestine turned to Annette with a face that looked like she was going to cry in anger.When the king mentioned his father his her, his mouth her he did not come off as if it were stuck.

My father, ignorant of anything, became the king's right-hand man to protect himself. Although he did not believe his words, he was always as sincere as his father's infidelity his. Since the king kept mentioning such a father, I couldn't act hastily, fearing that something bad would happen to him.

Annette silently shook her head at Celestine Celestine was grateful for her willingness to stand up for herself But now was not the time.

'Trust me and leave it to me, Celestine.'

Fortunately, Annette's glance at her her worked Celestine backed away from her, biting her lip Eventually, the king questioned Annette, who was left alone, sternly.

“Because of the crime you committed at that time, you were expelled from the crown princess candidate. Therefore, the daughter of the Marquis of Keirs was appointed as the new crown princess. In the future, when she becomes the queen of Deltium, I will make you pay for her past sins her!! Wasn't this the reason why you made today's special play out of fear?”

“A play, what do you mean?”

“Weren't you deliberately causing an explosion to endanger the young lady of Marquis Keirs and pretending to be saved by you!! Do you think I don't know your clever ultimate motives? Wasn't it a trick to buy her favor by pretending to be remorseful like that, pretending to make up for past mistakes !! The way I dug a trap and shamelessly fooled all of the savior sheep is very spectacle.”

“No, Your Majesty. I have nothing to do with this explosion!”

“No!! We've already captured some of your mansion's servants! They confessed to infiltrating the palace pretending to be your attendants and planting gunpowder!!”

At those words, Annette's eyes her went cold. I remembered what Ludwig had previously said in a letter. Did you say that the king is investigating the information on the employees of Kanesis Mansion? Put the blame on Annette.

'How could the technique be the same?'

Annette lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly.At first, he was naive and was taken without knowing anything.But he was n't going to let it happen this time.Annette's pink eyes her her shone with determination.

“First of all, I sincerely apologize for not managing the employees of the mansion properly. But I have nothing to do with this. If my employees are involved in this explosion, it must be someone trying to frame me.”

“Are you still trying to escape from this situation!! Your maid and coachman have already confessed! All of this is Annette Bavaria Kanesis, your conspiracy!!”

The king's scolding had such a powerful authority that it made everyone faint. After all, he was Rafel's father, and he had a natural disposition to overwhelm his retirement. But Annette was also Lapel's wife. Unintentionally, Annette, who was used to this kind of situation, rather lifted his chin and straightened his back her.

“I am not blindly denying my guilt, Your Majesty. I have carefully pondered Your Majesty noticed's words, and have some oddities. Please allow me to ask my questions.”

“What's strange about it?”

Perhaps the King did not want to allow Annette to speak. However, the nobles he had led were watching the scene with bated breath. At first, they were the 'witnesses' brought to accuse Annette of being a criminal, but now they caught Celgratis 'ankle her. Annette, seizing this opportunity, began to defend herself.

“First of all, my entourage is limited to two maids and a coachman. However, given the size of the explosion at the banquet hall, it must have taken an enormous amount of gunpowder. You will need at least one wagon.”

Annette's logical deduction her made the king's eyes slightly shake. She acted like someone who knew everything in advance. She was not at all motivated by the king's pressing force of hers. Annette, who lowered her eyes in a seemingly submissive manner, spoke clearly.

“It's impossible to load that much gunpowder into one wagon. If that were the case, when passing through the entrance to the palace, you would have been checked long ago. Even if you were lucky enough to pass the checkpoint, it would be impossible for just three people to secretly plant that much gunpowder in the banquet hall. It was because the palace guards stood on strict guards near the banquet hall.”

What if Ludwig hadn't given the information that the king was investigating the mansion's minions? He himself would not have been able to give such a logical reformation by now, bewildered by the unexpected attack. Perhaps he had fallen for the king's trap and he had suffered like the last time.

However, Annette was informed of this in advance. Although, due to lack of time, he did not know who the servant the king had bribed was, it did not matter. Knowing that this was going to happen was enough.

“Indeed, Marquis Kanesis' words have some truth.”

“Exactly… There was a strict boundary around the banquet hall. No, weren't the boundaries of the palace always strict in the first place? It is the place where the sun of Deltium stays.”

“It looks like someone concocted a conspiracy to harm the Marquis of Kanesis. Who is the real culprit?”

The nobles around them lowered their voices and whispered. Annette's rebuttal was impeccably rational. Not only that, but Annette was the one who had the most miserable appearance among the nobles gathered here. It was because he protected Celestine against the gangsters through the flames.

Annette, who had defended herself admirably, straightened his back and looked at the king. Now the suspicious eyes of the nobles turned to the king. When things didn't work out the way I wanted, Celgratis with an even more stern expression retorted.

“If you are not guilty, why the hell did you kill my subordinates!! They were following my orders to investigate the explosion and find the culprit. If you guys were innocent, you wouldn't have to kill my subordinates and you would have accepted the investigation!! But you brutally butchered my men!! Perhaps it was to hide your sins.”

The king still insisted that 'innocent subordinates were slaughtered for no reason'. In fact, he was sent to kill Celestine. He was deliberately ignoring Annette's position her on self-defence. In response, Annette pointed to some of her subordinates who had fallen on the floor and said,

“I didn't kill them all. The two of them just passed out.”

“… What?”

“As I said, they tried to kill Celestine without fail. To prevent this, my father and I stepped up and suffered the same injuries as now. Couldn't His Majesty send them to kill Celestine? So, in order to get to the bottom of the story, I kept two of them alive, even in a desperate situation.”

Suddenly, the king's mouth fell shut. He didn't expect there to be any survivors. Certainly, if he had been like Rappel before, he would not have spared a single survivor. In the first place, even on the battlefield he participated in, Lapel was notorious for his cruelty. Of course, it was because of his anger at losing his favorite lieutenant, Robert, but it was undeniable that he was overly aggressive anyway.

But after meeting Annette, he changed a bit. Of course, he couldn't perfectly resemble Annette. It was because the two of them had very opposite personalities. But it was true that Lapel was better than before. He knew how to weigh the importance of what was important. Thanks to that, he was able to rise to the level of a sword master.

“I dare to ask, fair sun of Deltium. Let them interrogate them in front of everyone. I will prove my innocence by revealing the real culprit behind this. I bow my head and beg you to grant me this.”

Annette, slightly mocking the king, put one of his hands her on his chest her and bent him on his knees. She intended to interrogate Raileen. Unlike her pretty face her like a woman, Laylin was ruthless in her hands her. Was also quick-witted. If the other person was hiding something or lying, she knew right away. In a word, she was the best person for an interrogator.

But the king would not allow this. When the public interrogation proceeded, he was against the king. Even though they were thoroughly trained subordinates, they were also human. He was unable to resist the rigorous torture that continued until the end. Had only one choice, as always.
