Chapter 145

Indeed, it was an excellent choice to tie up the Marquis of Keirs. He struggled desperately when he saw Celestine surrounded by assassins. He probably would have run off if he hadn't been tied down.

'Well, I'm not in a position to talk about it either.'

Claire shrugged his shoulders.The moment Ala Mand, his own father-in-law her, was struck by her sword her, she almost jumped up without realizing it.Her heart raced, wondering what would happen if he died.

Allamand did not like Claire, even in empty words. For the conservative Allamand, Claire was too liberal. She was there, she was, she was from the nobility of the great empire. No matter how much Bavaria was the most powerful force in Deltium He couldn't keep up with the high-ranking nobles of an empire that was dozens of times larger than the kingdom.Therefore, Claire was the first time in her life that Allah Mand had come face-to-face with an unruly being.

In addition, thanks to her marriage her to Claire, her oldest son her, Arjen, settled down in this empire. Arjen was a person with too big aspirations to just stay in the kingdom. Anyway, it could n't be fun for Allah Mand, who called Arjen after studying abroad and tried to make her heir of her.

'No matter how much he hates me, his name is her her father-in-law her.It's kind of like dying.'

Claire wrinkled her brow and watched Ala Mand fall to the floor and bleed out of her. Fortunately, she didn't seem seriously injured. Still, it wasn't nice to see the white-haired old woman – Allamand was originally platinum blonde – injured like that.

It was fortunate that Lapel showed up on time. Thanks to that, the intense situation ended quickly. Marquis Keirs, who had been struggling by his side of him, had calmed down before he knew it. Only on the king, over the bush. At the very scene where he shamelessly cuts off his daughter his and puts the blame on Annette.

“How about it? The feeling of witnessing the 'truth' with your own eyes.”

“…….”

Now Marquis Keirs said nothing. Rather, because it was, Claire freed his limbs from her. As soon as she let go of the gag in her mouth her, the Marquis of Keers slammed her hand her. It seemed that there was remnants of what had been tied up.

Of course, Claire didn't care about such petty resistance.She pricked the marquise's side as she listened to her outside situation with her ears pricked up.

“Now is the time to appear. I'll go out first, but the Marquis stays here.”

“What do you mean by that?”

Marquis Keirs asked with a disapproving expression. If we're going out, we should go out together, why am I the only one going out? But Claire firmly believed in her first husband her, Arjen. With all her heart her.

“You want to save your daughter? Then do as I say.”

…It was unclear whether that would sound persuasive or threatening.That's why the military officers could n't do it.Marquis Keirs stiffened in embarrassment.At this, Claire left his last words and stood up.

“Do not worry. I'll give you a signal, so the Marquis will come out at that time.”

Thus, the prelude to a full-fledged reversal opened.

“… Those who tried to kill my daughter said: Since they were also in a position to receive an order, they said there was nothing they could do.”

“The Marquis of Keirs.”

“But is n't that strange? Your Majesty now claims that they are his subordinates. God is at a loss as to how to interpret this.”

He said he was confused, but the Marquis Keirs' eyes were cold.In the first place,he was a person who had no desire for success or power.The only thing that mattered to him was his family.There are few men like this in the world.

But not having the strength was like saying that you couldn't protect your family.The Marquis Keirs realized this when her precious daughter his was kidnapped.So he humbled himself and hoped to become the king's dog.This was something I had to do as a parent. If only I could protect my beloved daughter and precious family. However, the choice of the Marquis of Keirs was wrong.

'Annette is innocent, Father!

Marquis Keirs remembered the voice of Celestine who had said so He wanted to protect her daughter Her, but why did not he listen to her voice Her?At the time, it was thought that Celestine had been duped by the cunning Bavarian flattery.

She did, but the only thing she cheated on was she herself. He was tricked, tricked, and tricked by the king. Thanks to this, Marquis Keirs' poison was very close. Finally, the tips of the swords of the daughter and the father were aimed at the same opponent.

The Marquis of Keers, bowing his head politely, opened his mouth in a sharp tone. With a voice loud enough for all the other nobles in the room to hear.

“Please tell me, Your Majesty. You called God a faithful subordinate, so why did you have your subordinates kill my daughter?”

The king said nothing. He referred to them as 'my subordinates' several times, so he couldn't deny it now. The nobles kept whispering in this surprising situation that repeated twists and turns. And gestures. It was now clear which side was lying.

Annette was stunned and watched the scene unfold before his eyes her.At the same time as a deep relief in his heart her, for some reason, tears welled up in his eyes her.It seemed as if the resentment and anger he had experienced had melted away. Someone gently hugged Annette's shoulder her.

“Lapel.”

He kissed Annette on the cheek without a word.On those cheeks all her stained with dirt and ashes.

“Good. You are safe now.”

Lapel reached out his hand and gently wiped Annette's face.An unexpectedly slightly clumsy smile appeared on his cold face Her.In front of his eyes his Her, his real father his Her was being criticized, but Lafel's gaze was directed straight at Annette.Chosen family.

Annette was cradled in those firm arms, listening to the heartbeat of his chest. A loud beating sound that repeats regularly. As I was immersed in that sound and embraced in a warm embrace, somehow I even felt like a third party. Her eyes as if she were watching her play.

“This is all a conspiracy!! How dare you doubt Jim! Marquis Keirs, how could you do this? You too are deceived! I must have been bewitched by that cunning Bavarian trick!!”

Now there was no logic in the king's argument.Perhaps he was about to leave, he once poured out his anger.If he escaped this situation first, he might be able to use his hands his somehow later.And planting fake evidence and witnesses.

However, there was one thing that was different from before.Now everyone knew that.The Marquis of Keers, with an expressionless face, blocked the king's way.And the king stopped him from starting another manipulation.

“Tell me, Your Majesty. What did my daughter do wrong? Why did she put him up for her crown princess her, and now she's about to throw him out again?”

Celgratis's white beard trembled. He was the noble sun of Deltium. But in such a public place, it was the first time he had been questioned as if he were a criminal. The eyes of the nobles whispering to him were unpleasant. To throw everyone in this place for treason. This anger of Celgratis was naturally directed at the Marquis Kiers in front of him.

“This seems rude!! Jim liked you so much that you were going to use him seriously, but he fell for your tricks and dared to betray you!! Hey, is anyone there? I will arrest you right now for contempt of the royal family!!”

At that, Celestine's face turned pale. Seeing this, Claire brushed her chin down and let out a whooping sound.

“Does the Deltium royal family respond in this way when they ask for the truth? That is very interesting.”

The king glered at Claire as if to kill him. However, there was no way to deal with Claire, who was from a foreign country, even from an empire. Just in time, the palace knights who had heard the king's shouts approached. Seeing them, the king's face turned slightly red.

“Look! Block my way now, and arrest the author who dares to interrogate me right away!! Where are you accusing Jim without evidence? This is a blatant hypocrisy and treason!!”

The royal knights rolled their eyes at the unusual atmosphere. But they had no other choice. As long as they joined the Royal Knights, they always had to absolutely obey the King's orders. Knights with expressionless faces headed towards Marquis Keirs. And take him to the royal prison.

In response, Lafel and Claire silently put their hands on the handle of the sword. I couldn't just quietly watch the Marquis of Keirs being taken away. After all, if he was arrested and the situation was 'manipulated' after that, it would be the same for this side to become dangerous.

But then, someone's appealing voice cut through the air.

“Stop it now, Your Majesty.”

The person who appeared behind the king was none other than Crown Prince Ludwig.
