Chapter 27

Rayleen Mosley, a beautiful handsome man of unknown age. He was one of the big players behind Deltium. The business field of Raileen's secret guild, 'Secret', was not limited to the secret country. He had several organizations that ran illegal 'errands' ', including an information guide.

Naturally, Rylin has walked the tightrope quite often, unlike her fine looks her.He could quite accurately figure out the character of his opponent her just by hearing the way he spoke.In the eyes of Raileen, Annette was an ordinary person .

Her tone was noble yet composed, and she did not look excited when she talked about her smuggling her. She was like a person who foresaw future misfortune and looked for a way out beforehand. In a word, it was a story that it was not an immature young lady's attempt to run away.

'She Looks like a lady from a noble house, why is she putting herself through hardships?'

Raileen was very interested in her. He immersed himself in his back alleys, but his taste was fussy, and he liked things that were noble and elegant. Just like that, Annette in front of me did just that. , The way she sat down, and every gesture she made were impeccably graceful.

Annette offered a huge advance payment in return for not revealing her identity to her.It was enough for Rylin to take it and arrange her a good job with all her conscience.But Rylin didn't want her relationship with her to end here.All , her Lylin's 'business' has her hands out in all directions, so if she's lucky, she'll keep seeing her.

Rylin ended her consultation with her willingness to put aside her personal curiosity about her.

“Well sir. I'll compile some of Osland's most livable towns and job information in as much detail as possible and send it to you as a document. If you ever change your mind or have further questions, you can always use this ring to contact me.”

Raileen, with a bright commercial smile, held out a ring. The ring, encrusted with a large amethyst, had an 'S' logo engraved in gold leaf. She was the symbol of the Sacrit Guild run by Rylin.

Annette gladly took the ring and kept it. If they were going to be smuggled out, it was necessary to lay the groundwork in advance. In Deltium, it was necessary to at least disguise the disappearance of 'Annette Bavaria Kanesis', or even an accidental death in some cases. That way, Annette would not be pursued in the future.

'No, I guess there's no need to worry about tracking things in the first place.'

A bitter smile appeared on Annette's veiled lips. She could not wonder about the life or death of the useless woman in her parents' home who had abandoned her. She's at least worried about her own brother her, Arjen, or her step-sister her , Claire. She was going to deliver the news to the couple separately somehow.

'And Lapel…….'

Annette's recollection of her own husband her broken her heart It was because it reminded me of Lapel Who you said you hated even when you were drunk He didn't look very happy She's probably because she married herself.

There were many things she felt sorry for Lapel, and there were many things she wanted to improve her shaky relationship with her with her husband her.Because of this, Annette tried to get along with him, but she also said that the impossible was impossible.

Annette bit her lip and squeezed the amethyst ring in her hand. If Lafel hated herself so much, now all Annette could do for him was disappeared from her sight. Even if she's gone, Rafel still won't be able to sleep well for her at night. But she will be fine. Instead, her daytime worries about her would be gone.

* * *

Even after returning to her mansion, Annette could not sleep easily. She ran her fingertips through the gilded head of her luxurious bed her. As she was born into a Bavarian family, she naturally had no choice but to get used to these luxury items and luxuries. So she was afraid to stand alone, which was about to begin.

In fact, she thought about going to the Chapelle Empire where her brother and his wife were. But she knew that if Annette's smuggling was discovered at all, she would be harmed by them as well. Arjen and Claire were in fairly high offices, so They might be put at a disadvantage because of Annette.

Because of this, Annette boldly decided to choose the Kingdom of Osland.As she pondered how to plan the details of her future, she absentmindedly looked out her window.She then looked at the position of the moon and was started.

“Oh my, the time is already like this.”

Accustomed to her regular life her, Annette lay her body on her bed and went to sleep. But I couldn't sleep well because I had so many thoughts. In order to leave Deltium, where he was born and raised, he would have to Thoroughly prepare for at least several months.

The night was particularly quiet today, so it seemed that he could even hear his own heart beating her.Annette lay there blankly, blinking her eyes at her, then suddenly pricked up her ears.It sounded like something was coming from outside.Of her bedroom her

'The sound of human footsteps?'

Unidentified footsteps were wandering from the front of her bedroom through the corridors. She cautiously approached the front of her bedroom, and Annette put her ear to the door and closed her eyes. It was not an illusion, but footsteps were really coming from outside her door.

'Sir, it's probably not a ghost.'

Annette trembled. At first she thought she might be a maid, but at this time she didn't have a maid to disturb her sleep by cleaning the hallway in front of the hostess' bedroom. More than anything, she felt that her footsteps were too heavy to be called a woman. Annette asked, trying hard to allay her fears of her.

“Who is out there?”

Of course, there was no answer from her. Rather, even the regular sound of footsteps stopped abruptly, and there was a suffocating silence. Annette's breathing quickened as she thought that something outside her bedroom would slam the door and enter her at any moment. Fortunately, just as she was about to call out to someone, a faint murmur came from outside her door.

“No, I…… I really didn't mean to abandon you……. I had no choice but to do that at the time.”

The murmurs heard outside were full of confusion, and she was even speechless. But the low voice was familiar to Annette.

'Lapel?'

When the sound of her unidentified footsteps dispelled her fear of her, she was left with worry. Of course, when she remembered that Rafel was cold to her, she felt sad and angry. He seemed to be wandering in a terrible nightmare again.

Annette cautiously pushed the bedroom door open slowly. Then, the faint light of the lantern leaking from the inside illuminated the sculpted profile of the man. Maybe he came out of his sleep, but Lapel was half-naked and was barely wearing his pants. He was breaking out in a cold sweat with his eyes tightly closed as if in agony.

“Me too, I wanted to save you…… Robert, enemies across the moat…… No, but I couldn't have abandoned you. Sorry.”

Random words flowed through Lapel's rough breathing his, before disappearing in the stillness of the night.He was seriously blaming himself for something.Behind his lowered eyelids his, he could see his pupils his his moving painfully. .

“Lapel, are you okay?”

Annette hurriedly approached him and spoke to him in a soft voice. But her voice was not heard by Lapel, who had been dragged into the depths of her dreams. Rafel stood facing the wall of the cold hallway with his beautiful brow furrowed. At some point, she started banging her forehead against the wall.

“I am cowardly, weak. I…… He deserves to die.”

With self-blameful murmurs stronger, the intensity of Lapel's forehead hitting the wall grew and stronger.The psychological trauma was so severe that, despite the blow to the forehead of his, Rafel showed no signs of waking up.Would explode if he continued like this.

“Lapel, why are you like this? Stop!!”

Surprised Annette quickly stood up and covered his forehead with her hand Her.This saved Lafel's forehead from popping out, but instead her little hand Her smacked the wall quite painfully.Annette almost screamed in pain, but she bit his lip and held it in.

As I hugged Lapel, cold air emanated from his naked upper body His.It must have been wandering outside for quite a while.Feeling sorry for this, Annette did her best to pull him away from the wall a little.

“Come here, Lapel. Hurry up. It's so cold and dark in here. Yes?”

Annette hurriedly brought him into her bedroom before he started to hurt himself again. In her bedroom, soft lamps gave off a soft light, and the scent of herbal potpourri that helped her sleep her was full. Perhaps he felt this even in his unconscious state , and Rafel's painfully contorted expression improved.

Annette, who managed to get Lapel to sit on her bed, secretly looked down at her hands. The hand that she had hit the wall while covering Lapel's forehead earlier was unusual. My knuckles tingled as if static electricity had risen, and the third and fourth fingers started to swell red.

'I hope it's not a fracture.'

Annette looked down at her hands, her with his anxious eyes, her Lafel, who was still in a sleepy nightmare, groaned from behind.

“Me too… I wanted to save you, Robert…….”

It would be appreciated, thought Annette, if he could save his own finger her.
