Chapter 148

“I am well aware that I am not qualified to make such a request. But please … Please allow me to help Lady Celestine. Give her a chance to do anything for her. I beg you so earnestly.”

Ludwig did not regret bowing his head to the Marquis of Keers. He wasn't apologizing as the crown prince, but as Celestine's fiancée. Ludwig was genuinely guilty of everything Celestine had been through. She deserved better treatment than this.

Seeing the crown prince bowing in front of him, Marquis Keirs' eyes shook. He was nothing more than an aristocrat in the guise of a ruined family. But Ludwig, who will become the next great king, bowed down to him and politely asked for a favor! This was an unprecedented and unheard-of incident.

At this sudden situation, Marquis Keirs hesitated for a moment.What words should I say to refuse to defeat the Crown Prince?Taking advantage of his thoughts her, Celestine grabbed Ludwig's hand hers.

“Okay, raise your head, Your Highness. Take a break, I'll go tomorrow morning.”

“Celestine!”

Seeing Celestine's selfish decision, the Marquis raised her voice her.Although she could not shout at her beloved daughter, her voice was full of resentment.Then Celestine rather turned her eyes toward her father her her.

“How are you, father? I mean, I want to wash quickly. My ankle hurts too.”

“…Are you in a lot of pain? Where do you want to see me?”

“That's Okay. You can't even see the blood. Since His Highness called the royal doctor, let's go inside.”

Celestine dragged Ludwig with one arm her and her father her with the other.Then her her Marquis of Keers uh, uh, supported her with her injuries.Ludwig, who suddenly supported Celestine's other arm her her Her smiled awkwardly.

Seeing this, the Marquis of Keers put on a disapproving expression, but he had no choice but to move toward the Crown Prince's palace.Because there was no father in the world who would win over his daughter his.

With this, the most noisy, dangerous, and confusing banquet in Deltium was over.

* * *

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Annette gazed peacefully through the window. Outside of him, the snow was already piling up. But he was a little warm in the parlor, as the large fireplace gave off a rather excessive heat. Be just right for a distinguished guest who would pierce through the snow and visit the mansion.

Annette slightly lowered the shawl around his shoulders her. The silver fox shawl Lapel had brought her was surprisingly soft, yet warm. Because of this, some sweat was forming on her collarbone and on her shoulders. Silver fox fur, the man's voluptuous lips landed lightly on it. And he gnawed at the skin like a beast drinking water.

“Lapel, when did you come?”

“Just now. Kiss me more than that.”

Lafel responded briefly and choked Annette. You know how embarrassing it is, but as usual at times like this, Lapel's expression was blunt. The sight of a man looking as cold as winter outside the window begging my wife to kiss me didn't suit me very well. Maybe that's why there was a cuter corner.

Annette laughed out loud and stepped up to kiss him on the lips. He willingly lowered his head and swallowed Annette's lips as if he had waited. The smooth surface of the lips met and transferred each other's heat. After several saliva exchanges.

“Ah, Lapel… A guest is coming soon, uh…….”

Annette with rouge smeared around her mouth her gasped and pushed him away her Lapel gently grabbed the wrist of her and pulled it back to him And he kissed her more intensely than before.

His large hands his gently ran down Annette's spine as his tongue her intertwined.As if she wanted to take off her dress right away, the touch that moved her back and forth was sensual.The heat it radiated seemed to pierce the skin of her and Stimulate the senses of her underneath her. Because of this, Annette almost forgot about the existence of her guest her.

Smart-

The moment she heard a knock at the door, Annette jumped from Lapel in a fright.Lapel, who had let her out of her grasp her, licked her lips as if regretting it.Lips her, licked the remaining saliva. Like I don't want to leave anything behind.

Seeing this, Annette's ears burned red without even realizing it. He was handsome enough to pass, and now he had a dangerous charm. His body her trembled as if one day he would chew him down to the bone so small that he would swallow him Even so, seeing that he was secretly looking forward to that day, it seemed that he himself had also become strange.

“Master, madam. The guest has arrived. Shall I take you inside?”

“Come on, take me inside!”

At this time, a faithful servant outside announced the arrival of a guest. Annette hurriedly replied, wiping the rouge from the corner of her mouth her. He would have welcomed the guests with a great look.

The guest who entered the warm drawing room was none other than Ludwig. He smiled, looking this way through the tip of his nose his, which had been shrunken because of the cold. Smile his looked somewhat distorted.

“Thank you for allowing me to visit you. Marquis Kanesis, and his wife.”

Ludwig was the first to call her by any other name than her own.Now she seemed to have accepted the fact that Annette was married, that she was married to another man.

Annette respectfully bowed her head to the crown prince.But in his mind his,everything was a mess.It was because I wondered what kind of news Ludwig would have brought.Just what agreement he had with the king,he was anxious to know what would become of them.

“Please sit down for now, Your Highness.”

Lapel also wanted to know what the future holds.He was no longer a lone wild animal.He had someone very important to him that he wanted to protect.Therefore, her desire to know what her future holds was the same as Annette's.

So, Rafel readily offered Ludwig a seat. And that too, to a very warm seat closest to the fireplace.

“Thank you. I thought his limbs were falling off because it was still cold. I almost fell off my horse or something.”

Ludwig, who sat down, took off his hat and laughed. It might not be empty words, but there were a few eyes left in the folds of his cloak and the hem of his pants. Even though the employee at the front door would have Meticulously brushed his eyes. He must have fallen a few times on the way.

Well, a body like Ludwig did well just by not falling off his horse in the snow. He was truly a man who tripped and fell when walking on flat ground. But Annette, as usual, ignored this.

“Thank you for coming all the way here in increment weather, Your Highness.”

“No. I stopped by my fiancée's house just for a moment. Rather, I am grateful to you for allowing me to visit you unexpectedly. How is His Excellency the Duke recently? Are you well?”

“Of course. Thanks to the medical treatment sent by Her Highness her, he recovered safely. There were few aftereffects on her injured arm her.”

Annette smiled and replied about her father's well-being to her. Recently, the Bavarian father and daughter have become much closer than before. Allamand was still disingenuous, stubborn and aggressive. A scolding or a punch back.

“That's good. You seem to have taken good care of your health.”

After hearing Annette's answer her, Ludwig nodded her head. Then he lazily swiped his silver hair that was wet in her eyes. Lafel, who heard the exchange of greetings between them, clenched her fists in silence. Even so, Rafel was impatient. I was dissatisfied that Ludwig did not get to the point right away and flirted with my wife while exchanging regards. Seeing the fine wrinkles on the bridge of his nose his, Annette involuntarily smiled.

If it was the same as before, when Lafel made that expression, she herself would have been restless. Because he didn't know when he would explode again. But now, even those wrinkles are cute, so it was really strange.

“Oh, there's something I want to show you guys.”

Just in time, Ludwig took off his gloves and waved his hand as if to look this way. His hands his, red from the cold, looked just as transparent as ice cubes. Originally, his skin was on the pale side, so now he looked almost bloodless and inanimate. Seeing this, Rafel thought to himself.

'What are you saying?'

He said he had something to show me, but he did n't know why he was waving his hand. Annette held her breath while Lafel moved Ludwig's hand away with cold eyes. Her pink eyes her widened in surprise. The large shiny ring on Ludwig's right hand.

“Isn't that the seal of the royal family?”

Annette asked in a slightly breathless voice. It was the seal of the royal family because it was well spoken, but in fact it was a ring that only the king could have. She remembered kissing the ring that shone on Celgratis' hand her. That time, the ring was now shining on Ludwig's hand his.

“Right. There will be a coronation next year. This body has decided to inherit the throne.”

Ludwig smiled, showing his white, even teeth her his.Unlike before, her face her was not as pretty as before.The anticipation of a future ruler flashed in his eyes.
