Chapter 53

'Wouldn't it be okay if I dressed up like this?'

Annette carefully looked around at her dress her. The dress with diamond powder sprinkled on saturated blue fabric shone just like the stars in the night sky. Here, the blonde hair that was braided into one was decorated with a blue velvet rose hair corrosion to give a point. The overall color tone is calm, but the details are subtly gorgeous, so it seemed like an appropriate outfit to meet Lapel's 'benefactor'.

Annette, who finished her last inspection her, entered the ball with a smile on her face. After exchanging formal greetings with the host of the party, Countess and Duchess Luciney, he looked around, but Lapel was nowhere to be seen. Annette became puzzled.

'I told you to go first?'

He attended because of Rappel's request, but he felt uncomfortable being alone with him in the carriage. Annette was on the weak side of affection, and even more so on Lapel, who had been married for five years in his previous life. Good care of the patient at the end, he would have left right away. Annette was afraid that if Lapel was friendly again, he would fall for him.

So Annette invited them to attend separately. Fortunately, Rafel had never been to a prom with her husband her, so he readily agreed to her request her. He wasn't the side street type, so he must have arrived at the ball first. But the lapel was nowhere to be seen. It was normal for a man of such outstanding appearance to be easy to find.

“Miss Annette Bavaria?”

At this time, someone spoke to Annette. Annette blinked his eyes at the unfamiliar gentleman. The man dressed in a deep blue suit, holding a mahogany cane in one hand, was quite an older man. Nevertheless, he had a stylish look with a short, well-groomed beard and a stocky figure.

“Gee, you probably don't know who I am. I tend to stay abroad a lot. My name is Harold Evans. It is a pleasure to speak with such a wonderful lady.”

The gentleman who introduced himself was politely despite his age.Annette felt a great liking for Harold with that alone.She happily took Harold's outstretched hand and smiled softly.

“Ah, you are Count Evans. I've heard a lot of words. This is Annette Bavaria Kanesis.”

Harold Evans had once been regarded as the most mysterious figure of Annette's previous generation of her.No one knew exactly what he was doing specifically or what business he was doing abroad.However, the rumors about Harold, which were growing like beans in a drought Whether he hunted down rebels, he caught a felon who had fled from abroad, and so on.

Although Harold is now retired and confined to his estate his his his mystique his has not faded So Annette looked up at the old legend his eyes twinkling At that moment a smile crept across Harold's lips her .

“He is more than lovable. Even if I was twenty years younger, I wouldn't lose to him, Lapel. It's really sad to draw this.”

“Do you know my husband?”

“Would you like to know? It's a secret…….”

Harold, who looked around him, lowered his voice and gestured to Annette.Annette unknownly listened to the mysterious actions of the mysterious person.Then, with a serious expression on his faceHarold whispered in her ear of her.

“It's a secret I haven't told anyone. I am the one who changed the blanket he speed on.”

“Yes? Lapel threaded on the quilt, did you excuse me?”

“It was pretty cute back then. Unable to say that he had speed, he held on to the hem of her pants while crying profusely. I never thought that young thing would grow up to be such a black and boring guy. Known?”

Harold deftly stuck out his tongue. At first, Annette had a shocked look on her face at the shocking revelation of her dark history of her. But soon a smile crept across her lips. In Annette's memory her, Lapel was always a big, violent There was a time when Lapel was young enough to pee on the blanket.

While listening to Harold's words, Annette felt something. Looking around her, she lowered her voice and asked Harold.

“Count Evans is the person who is Rafel's benefactor. Right?”

Instead of answering, Harold put his finger on his lips and laughed. Feeling delighted by this, Annette felt much more at ease. He unintentionally met Rapel's benefactor first, but it was a party he attended to meet Harold anyway. As for the diligent Annette Harold, who had been analyzing Annette's expression her indistinctly, suddenly changed the topic.

“Isn't he really mean?”

“Yes?”

“I want a guy who is not honest to be proud of himself. His hedgehog is missing. He hurts others first so he doesn't hurt himself. Tsk tsk, you ugly bastard.”

Annette didn't know what to say, so he just smiled. Harold, who was said to be Rapel's benefactor, suddenly began to dislike him. But he didn't know what to say because it was all right. Harold, who glanced at Annette's shaking pupils her, shrugged his shoulders and said.

“If he gets upset, he should just divorce him. He's still young and pretty, so what's the point of living with that bad-tempered guy? If I were your wife, I'd throw him away without looking back. You have to be abandoned once to come to your senses, tsk.”

Annette didn't know it, but it was Harold's specialty to delicately take her words to the extreme and get people's reactions. While swearing at Lapel, Harold observed the change in Annette's expression in her in seconds. As delicate as they were drawn, twitched a little, sure enough. Words of defense for Lapel flowed from Annette's lips to her.

“I am not that bad. Just…… It's just a little stubborn.”

She didn't know why she felt so bad when people cursed at Lapel. Annette recalled Lapel's serious face as she said to her, 'This is the benefactor I want to introduce to you.' He thought Harold was so important to him that he had bowed down to his pride his and even asked Annette for a favor. However, when Harold actually met him, he cursed Lafel a lot, which made Annette very upset with her.

Still, fighting Harold right here wasn't a good choice. Anyway, since Rafel thought of him as a benefactor, he would be offended if he got into a fight where he was introduced. Annette decided to quickly end this uncomfortable conversation and separate from Harold. She asked in a firm tone with her graceful smile.

“Do you know where my husband is? I want to start by saying hello to him.”

“Hmm.”

Harold didn't answer right away, but he smiled. Annette knew how to avoid unnecessary conflicts without being driven by her emotions or temperment of her. It was a wise attitude for his age her. At least that's how Harold saw it. Slowly stroking his jagged chin, pointed somewhere before long.

“Thank you.”

Annette, who responded politely until the end, turned to her.Just as she was about to take her step her, Harold's advice her flew behind her.

“If I were your wife, I wouldn't be in there right now.”

What else are you talking about?Annette looked back at him, but Harold only smiled at his confused face her.He did n't seem to give an answer if I asked him.Annette had no choice but to head towards the balcony where the bomb was lurking.

Normally at a ball like this, when I came out to the balcony and drew the curtains, it meant 'do not disturb'. And in it, trysts between adulterous couples and secret lovers were usually made. And in a very hot way too.

Of course, Lafel didn't think that would be the case, but she didn't know. He was an extremely handsome and charming man. He was a man whose face alone radiated light. Any woman could look at him. Annette made up her mind and approached the balcony Harold had pointed out. Hearing conversation leaking through the curtains, it was clear that Lapel was inside.

However, he was having a 'hot' time in a way quite different from Annette's expectations of her.

“…Anyway, she's my wife now. So please keep your hands off my her and her wife her. Because every time Her Highness Her prowls around her like a dog in heat, my loyalty her keeps trying to get upset .”

Lapel's voice from inside was cold and hard, just like smelted steel. Annette's mouth her opened spontaneously when she heard that unstoppable rant. Someone Rafel could call 'Your Highness', and someone he could tell to get his hands off of my wife. Was only one person in deltium who could satisfy these two conditions.

'No way….Are you with Her Highness Her Ludwig Her?'

Shocked, Annette's face turned pale.
