Chapter 77

Why did Annette, who had nothing to lack, kidnap herself, who was not even a target for check? And that, of course, by having her own personal coachman her. It was something that didn't go well with the development. Was a princess of the House of Bavaria, she could have hired as many mercenaries as she had no connection with her, so she could have planned things more thoroughly.

'There's definitely something strange.'

Celestine did not believe Annette's words her as she infiltrated the temple at first. Rather, she wanted to torment herself again, and she was furious. But after cooling her head, she reflected on what Annette had said about her and it made sense. Chewing herself on Annette's remarks her at every opportunity.

And at some point, Celestine realized. She realizes that she has already half-fallen for Annette.

'Maybe Annette isn't really the culprit.'

In fact, the situation before and after that side matched better. At that moment, Celestine seemed to catch a glimpse of someone else holding and controlling her and Annette in the palm of her hand her. I don't know what benefit he got from this incident, but it ruined both women's lives.

Her proud Celestine was angry at the fact that her future she was at the mercy of someone else. She, of course, could have contradicted herself feeling this way. If Annette hadn't been caught in the trap, she herself would have died and If she awoke, she wouldn't have been the fiancée of the Crown Prince.

Celestine glanced sideways at Annette across from her and thought to herself.

'How can I win against a woman like that?'

She remembered the shock she felt when she first saw Annette. Celestine wondered how such a woman could exist in the world. Annette Bavaria was like a sample of an essential book for liberal arts called 'The Perfect Lady'. Clever, and even had a family. I'm sorry, but it was to the point where I couldn't feel humanity.

Competition is also done while looking at the opponent Celestine knew her subject her well It was a disadvantageous position but even Crown Prince Ludwig openly pursued Annette In a word the possibilities converged to zero.

So, Celestine gave up her dream of becoming a crown princess early on. However, as much as she had put her enemies her in her candidacy her, she intended to accumulate the value of her name her and use it later when she got married. It was a very realistic goal for Annette's competitor.

'Then Annette, she is now the Marquis of Carnesys.'

Celestine felt a bit uneasy. She was the Marquis, of course she wasn't bad. However, she was actually a bit inferior to Annette, who came from the duchy of Bavaria. She was even more so, considering the evil rumors about her about Rafel, the king's illegitimate son her.

When Celestine thought that the real culprit was Annette, she thought this was also self-inflicted. But when she thought that even she, like herself, was her victim of her, she felt her feet her rise again. Where Annette should have been. She felt like a countryhead who had gotten her line wrong. Maybe that's why Celestine unknownly threw a question out of the blue.

“Yes, Lady Annette. You now… How are you? Are you happy?”

“Yes?”

“Hmmmm, the person who becomes the husband. Are they good to you?”

Annette's eyes widened as she wiped away tears at her sudden question.Annette, who was looking at Celestine with slightly widened eyes, responded with a soft smile.

“Yes. He's a bit blunt by nature, but he's a good person. You are good to me too.”

The moment she saw Annette avoiding her eyes her, Celestine thought. She seemed to understand Annette's sincerity of her, which she had always been unable to understand. As a Bavarian, she was good at lying. If nothing is wrong is probably to cover up her husband's flaws in her.

Celestine, her tension released, draped her shoulders. Until now, she had put on a lot of energy and was wary of her surroundings, wearing an undeserved crown. However, after exchanging honest stories with each other in front of Annette, she somehow felt her body her relax. She asked Celestine, who was fiddling with her engagement ring her on her own finger her.

“The holy power you showed that day. Was it real? Be honest.”

“Sorry. It was a trick. Even so, I really wanted to talk to you.”

Annette smiled shyly and confessed the truth. She should have been furious that she lied, but Celestine was rather relieved. She also said that God was fair. If a woman like that even knew how to use her holy power of her, she was too out of balance. Celestine, who got the answer she had been curious about all along, returned to the main topic.

“No, not even you. If it's not me, then the true culprit is different. Who could that be?”

“I do not know. I've considered several candidates, but…… There is no corner to pin down. Not yet. So I looked for the palace attendants who had helped my coachman testify against me. But it didn't seem like someone who had already bought it. I think that was the intention from the beginning, so I deliberately selected and used only attendants with no connections.”

Annette replied, lost in her thoughts of her. I don't know who it was, but the post-processing was meticulous. Annette thought Celestine was the real culprit in this case, but all the assumptions ended up being in vain. Her own innocence of her, she had to start all over again. Annette's eyebrows her naturally drooped down.

At this time, Celestine very carefully opened her mouth.

“Actually, there is one corner that I can point out. I'm still cautious about saying anything prematurely, but…….”

“What is it? Can anyone guess?”

Annette tilted her head with a serious expression. Then Celestine could not readily follow her words and only parted her lips. It was because she was not quite sure yet to get it out of her mouth.

Annette wondered what Celestine was trying to say. Her heart trembled at the thought that maybe she knew what was behind her. But she couldn't be rushed. Annette waited patiently for her to prepare her heart her. She seemed to be moved by Annette's consideration her for not urging her.

Celestine who had finally made up her mind her was about to open her mouth Suddenly, the door to her parlor her burst open and someone burst in.

“You said you had a cold? Is it true?”

Lapel strode into the room with manly eyebrows furrowed. As if he hadn't felt awkward at all, he immediately came over to Annette and reached out a large hand to touch her forehead with her. Oddly enough, he tended to be particularly concerned about Annette's health her. Even the naughty temper that always pops out of nowhere would be taken down in front of her bottle of her.

Lapel, who was carefully examining her condition, clicked her tongue without Annette having time to dissuade her.

“You have a fever. Her eyes are also red. Wasn't it because you were overdoing it yesterday? I'm sick, but I'm not lying in bed, what am I doing….”

Lapel, who had been casually stretching his back her, finally found Celestine sitting on the sofa across from her. Lapel, who thought she was just her maid of honor her, shut her mouth, startedled. The presence of her unexpected guest her, but that didn't go unnoticed by Raffel's mistress.

'It's my house anyway, so what?'

Rafel did n't even recognize his half-brother's fiancéehis his, Celestine.It was because he was so far away from society, and even more so from Ludwig.Naturally, all Rafel remembered was Celestine's name her her.

Rappel was the owner of this Kanesis mansion, and he used to receive reports of all visitors.But he had no memory of receiving a message that a guest was coming today.Therefore, that woman was probably not a formal visit, but more like a kind of uninvited guest.

Feeling wary, Lafel's eyes sharpened. Lafel, who didn't feel the need to respect the uninvited guest, just raised one eyebrow and said hello.

Excuse me.”

Celestine's eyes also went up at Lapel's openly rude attitude of hers.

Celestine didn't like Lapel at first sight. He was a sensual handsome man like a black panther, and he had a good body. And he seemed to know very well that he was a proud male. Sexy and unlucky type.

A man like that was good to look at, but he was bad to live with. In a word, he was a pretty poisonous existence. She seemed to know how Annette, married to a man like that, would suffer without even seeing her.

'This is why Annette's expression her must have been rotten.'

Celestine recalled the smile of Annette, who was evasive when asked if her husband was nice to her. Even though there are customers, he suddenly comes in and shamelessly sits down! How much more so when the two of you are alone? Seeing Celestine's swearing Look her in her eyes her, Lapel made her disapproving face.

'What is that woman doing at my house?'

Annette, who is already weak, is entertaining guests while she has a fever. Rafel became dissatisfied with Celestine's existence in her. Even now, from the heat, a slight blush ran across Annette's cheeks and around her eyes her. Face to face and talking? She was, after all, a woman without notice.

Rafel's and Celestine's gaze collided in mid-air and sparks flew. Of course, with Annette in between.
