Chapter 68

Annette felt the resentment still lingering in Celestine's wary eyes her.Annette, smiling bitterly, reached out and took Celestine's hand her carefully.The moment she flinched and tried to shake it off, Annette muttered.

“Anyway, I feel bad that you suffered because of me. Even if it's a misunderstanding, I'm really sorry about the hard times you've been through. I hope you can overcome those nightmares as soon as possible. You are strong by nature, so you can do it.”

Celestine's eyes trembled at Annette's heartfelt words in her. On the back of Annette's hand her, which held her own her, she could see the red teeth marks from a previous bite. It must have hurt quite a bit, but Annette didn't seem to care about it at all. Gently patting the back of Celestine's hand, she stood up from her seat.

“As promised, I will disappear now. Celestine, you just… I just had a bad dream for a while. So forget about today's work. Got it?”

Annette whispered lowly, as if hinting. Upon hearing this, Celestine made a strange expression. But before she could say anything, Annette quickly started singing. It's a clear tone that can be heard even outside the door.

Annette's ability to her was almost on the side of immediate effect. Before she could finish her first verse, her Celestine body she slowly fell to the floor. After Annette made sure that she was completely asleep, she continued to sing for about a minute, keeping track of her surroundings her.

'Great. Everyone seems to be asleep.'

Annette heard the priest snoring in the corner, who was wriggling as if he was about to wake up. Seeing that the clutter outside the door had become quiet again, it seemed that the escorts were also asleep. Sleeping Celestine back on the chair. It was quite difficult since we are of the same size, but we managed to do it.

Annette roughly wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve. Then, he took out a clean handkerchief from his arms of her and carefully wiped Celestine's tear-stained face of her. It was nice to see Celestine's face her, which had been contorted with pain and tears until just now, had become calm from sleep.

Annette turned her back and quietly pushed the door open. Then, all over the hallway, I saw the escorts sleeping, leaning against each other. Judging by the slight change in posture and position from before, it seemed that the timing of getting back to sleep was quite close.

'I'm glad I didn't wake up.'

Annette lifted her heels and stepped carefully through the gap between his escorts her.The feeling of walking over a human body was unfamiliar.Before finally turning the corner of the hallway, Annette quietly rummaged in her arms. With some of her sleeping scent remaining.

If Celestine's escorts wake up after a while, they must first check the safety of their employer. But what if Celestine in the penitentiary is fine? After that, he would probably go into the situation. Priest, but after that, they'll think about why they fell asleep.

That was the reason why Annette had prepared an empty bottle of sleeping incense.

'I can't let my abilities get caught.'

Annette didn't want it to be known that he was a regressor and that he had special abilities.

What if, before Annette starts her song, someone rushes in and shuts her mouth her? Even if she did n't have to, she just blocked her own ears herself, and her Annette's powers her did n't work. Ability could be used effectively only under the premise of 'if the other party does not know'.

It was foolish to expose her long-awaited ability her to the world and make it useless So Annette decided to fake her own crime scene a bit.

'If you find this empty barrel on the floor…… They'll think they've inhaled the scent of sleep.'

Annette, who had quietly rolled her empty bottle in the corner of her penitentiary hallway, came out of the shrine. As the sun went down, the temple's autumn festival was full of excitement. All the worshipers who drank the wine made by the priests were drunk.

Annette passed between them without much difficulty and reached the empty graveyard. He was also hard to get in and easy to get out. She goes into her tomb her, where she first met Rileen, and inside it, her Annette's clothes she are neatly laid out. Annette, who had changed her teeth, took her priest's uniform and mask off her back her, wrapped them in her own cloth, and picked them up. Now it was the perfect crime to go home and burn these things.

Now it was time for her to return to the mansion where Rafel was waiting. Leaving her grave her, Annette got into her carriage, which she had been waiting for. Although she had many things to think about, she had achieved her goal of meeting Celestine. She felt that Annette's heart had become much lighter.

'I didn't expect my liver to be this big.'

Annette found herself unfamiliar and felt a little strange. He hadn't thoughtlessly and recklessly infiltrated her. Like it or not, Annette was also a “Blue-blooded Bavarian.” The ability to think coolly and plan thoroughly.

Celestine's escorts did n't see Annette's face her anyway. Therefore, they might be suspicious of the priest they met before falling asleep, but today was, of course, the day of the autumn festival. The Odessa Lei Temple was a fairly large place , and there were well over 10 priests wearing masks for the sacred rites. So they will never find Annette. In the first place, she wasn't a priest.

'But if Celestine brought up my story, things would get a little complicated.'

Worst of all, Celestine could have accused her of being an intruder. But even that case has already been put into the plan. Celestine was the only one who saw Annette's face in her. On her accusations of her. Annette had already prepared a perfect 'allibi' through Reileen.

The substitute for Annette, whom Lailin had found in advance, was quite plausible. She was quite similar to her in her body shape and her mood her, so it was undoubtedly Annette with her wig on her. Find out right away…… It wouldn't have happened. Annette is said to have been 'playing on a boat' today. Who could get a close look at Annette sitting in a boat on … The lake?

Therefore, even if Celestine did accuse her, she would only be humiliated for her lack of evidence of her. Quite a few people have seen Annette wearing a parasol on a small boat and boating all day long. Rather, it was obvious that Celestine would suffer more damage if this accusation was reversed. She hadn't had a very good reputation in social circles lately.

'Seeing this, I…… Bavaria must be the right person.'

Annette laughed blankly. Even the clothes he changed into her were the same as those he had worn while boating. This made Annette's alibi literally perfect. If Lapel saw herself like this, she must be disgusted.

Annette, lost in thought, suddenly remembered Lafel's pupils. The eyes under the eyebrows her, as sharp and elegant as hawks, were as blue as the winter sea. Being cut. I hate Bayern, so when I remembered the look in Lapel's eyes when he said he hated you, his heart ached.

Annette leaned her head against the wall of the carriage and quietly closed her eyes. He wanted to go to Osland as soon as possible and see with his own eyes the town he was moving to. It was an unavoidable choice since the couple's desired relationship was starkly different.

The road back home to a man who hated him was dreary.

Upon entering the mansion, Annette looked around the drawing room and dining room on the first floor. But Lapel was nowhere to be seen. Annette, tilting her head, grabbed the maid who was just passing by and asked.

“Have you seen him?”

“The master has not returned from the palace yet, ma'am.”

Said her maid, who bowed her respectfully.In response,Annette nodded and went upstairs.He already knew that Rafel had been called by the king today and went to the palace.Thanks to this,Annette's plan to infiltrate the temple was completed smoothly without needing to notice Rafel. But he never thought that by this time he hadn't come back yet.

Annette wondered what the king was talking about with Lafel. It was good that he cared for his illegitimate son his, Rafel. The king's favorite his, in and of itself, was no different from power. Thanks to this, even the Deltium nobles, who value lineage, could not ignore Shui Rapel. Annette, however, found the king's manner of affection strange.

'Still, I hope you stop comparing Her Highness her Ludwig and Lapel.'

Annette still remembered Ludwig's miserable face his.He has a delicate corner and could not stand being compared to his half-brother his Lapel.In particular, Ludwig himself used to be hurt even more because he was far from using his body of him.

However, King Celgratis was displeased with Ludwig's weakness of his.He would tsk his tongue and say things like 'Lapel should have been a deficit' in front of Ludwig.Thanks to that, Ludwig's feelings towards his Rafel were quite complicated .

Here, Annette, who was hisfiancée her, ended up marrying Lapel… It was natural for the emotions to escalate.Annette had no feelings for Ludwig anymore, but he remembered vividly his tearful face of him.Lapel.

'Then Lapel …… What do they think of Her Highness Ludwig and Her Majesty her Celgratis?'

Annette suddenly became curious about her husband's position.
