Chapter 90

“Well, Peha did this to me! Ah, Lady Celestine. I am happy to be a family with you soon. You will make a very 'suitable' mate for Ludwig. .”

Celestine, who imitated Celgratis while lowering her voice Her, turned around. Her provocative green eyes she seemed to ask, 'Do you see what's wrong now?' Annette, lost in thought for a moment, opened her eyes wide. Celgratis' remark meant.

“Seriously, no way….. . “

“Yes, damn it! Sorry for using such vulgar terms. But is that the case? The reason I brought you down is because Bayern is so prestige and influential. That's why it does not suit Her Highness Her the Crown Prince's mate, right? It must be because Your Highness, who is indecisive, is at high risk of being swayed by his wife's family.”

Celestine jumped up from her bedside and went back and forth, venting her anger at her.She felt like fire was about to spew from her mouth at her at any moment.Shouted Celestine, who pounded her own breast with an uncharacteristically violent hand movement.

“But what about me? What, am I a suitable mate for Your Highness? This means that our family has no strength, so even if we wanted to wield His Highness Ludwig, we wouldn't be able to! Since the ruined family has formed an in-law relationship with the royal family, they must be thinking that they will lie down and help out! No, how the hell are you ignoring people!!”

Celestine's last words were her close to screaming. But she deserved it. She was proud of herself for Celestine, and had a deep attachment to her, even though she belonged to a dying family. And her her family her as her chaff her. To him, Celestine was nothing more than a pretty, helpful adornment to be placed next to her indecisive son.

“What is the reason our family fell into such a decline in the first place!! At the time of the great earthquake, this wouldn't have happened if the royal family had given a little support!! He left so many territories to die of starvation in order to lower the prestige of the Keirs family……!!”

Celestine, her emotions running high, burst into tears. The Keirs family enjoyed considerable wealth and power based on the profits from the granary. But he never forgot the subject. The Kyers family was an extremely loyal family, always submissive to the royal family.

Nevertheless, the royal family was always wary of the power of the Kiers family.When the opportunity of a natural disaster came just in time, the royal family immediately turned away from them as if they had been waiting for it.Oliged to take care of their servants, the Kiers family.

However, he looked down on them, saying that the royal family that made a mark on the downfall of the Keirs family is now a ruined family. Into the palace as a pet. Celestine was so angry that she was about to vomit her blood. She asked, glancing back at her Annette, her hair tousled from her vigorous movements.

“You know what's even more fucked up?”

…… Are there more here? Annette, embarrassed inside by Celestine's enormous emotional outburst of her, laughed awkwardly. Having lived with Rafel and her skin to skin, she instinctively sensed it. Of Annette's embarrassment her, shouted, slamming her table.

“I didn't even know that!! Your Majesty!! I had a consultation about the kidnapping trauma!! I don't even know that the person in front of me is the culprit!!!”

Well. If that was the case, it was only natural for her that Celestine roared like an angry lioness. Contrary to her benevolent appearance her, Selgratis had a knack for deceiving others. Annette wondered what he might have been thinking as he listened to Celestine's trauma her counseling.

Celestine, who had been going back and forth in the room for a while, bursting into exasperation, eventually sat down in her seat with great enthusiasm. Now that she had no energy, she didn't seem to be able to get even more angry Annette wordlessly reached out and patted Celestine on the shoulder. Then Celestine asked, rolling her eyes at Annette.

“So, what are you going to do now?”

“What can I do? First, we have to go catch the chess pawn.”

Unlike Celestine, who could not overcome the agitation of her emotions her and threw herself into a fit of rage, Annette held her hands together and was in an undisturbed posture. Her appearance was as perfect as an illustration of an aristocratic lady in a book children's So Celestine felt a kind of wonder. How could Annette remain so calm even after going through the same thing?

But this time, Celestine was wrong. Contrary to what it looks like, Annette was quite angry. Not knowing this, the last 10 years she had innocently played in the palm of Selgratis were wasted. Even know existed, and that aggressive lineage froze Annette's head with cold anger. No one could fuck Annette Bayern. Nobody!

“You said it was Groouty No. 4, right?”

“Are you sure you're going to catch the coachman? It's like a lawless zone! I think it would be too risky. Just let someone…….”

Celestine guessing Annette's intentions her quickly stopped her with a worried expression She was also in the position of secretly catching her Zach her but that place was Bassetti Street A relatively safe area used by the lower Nobility or wealthy middle class.

But the Grooty area was a bit special. On the bad side, of course. In Deltium, it was treated as a non-existent area, but it was an area that definitely existed. All criminals, heinous criminals, and dangerous black trades stagnated there, swirling like rotten water in a sewer. Like cockroaches, they constantly crawled out of somewhere and swarmed even after they were cleaned.

Of course, the Deltium royal family didn't just stand by. Since ancient times, there have been steady attempts to clean up the Grooty area several times. However, it was not due to lack of strength that humans could not remove the hive. They crawled out frantically, ready to die, and resisted the soldiers. Since there were so many heinous criminals, they did not cover any means and methods, and naturally, the force was considerable. Them.

Because of this, the 'cleaning' of the royal family had to end in vain every time.It was because the damage from accidentally touching the area was far greater than the gain from cleaning the Groove area.There was no military power to waste in Deltium because of the old rebel forces of Letan who were constantly rising.

It was for this reason that Celestine stopped Annette. Grouty's area was too dangerous to touch!

“Don't worry, Celestine. Because there is a way.”

But Annette, perhaps not familiar with the reputation of the Grooty district, had a very calm face.Annette, who was fiddling with the tips of her own delicate fingers her, her smile quietly.

“I know one person who is perfect for this job. So you wait here I will end your nightmare sooner or later.”

…… It was strange. A shadow fell over Annette's well-behaved face her, looking perfectly dangerous. But why does his heart beat when he sees Annette's face like that? Celestine pressed her palms over her thumping chest her and quietly laid her eyes on Somehow, today was the day I wanted to call Annette 'sister'.

* * *

Annette looked at his mirror her and, as was his custom her, tried to choose an earring for her earlobe her, but she hesitated. The place to go from now on was not a place to wear accessories. After all, she was going to go to a dangerous slum called Grooty No. 4.

She said, 'I'm going to infiltrate wearing shabby clothes anyway, but earrings.

I was afraid because it was a habit. Annette, who smiled bitterly, was about to close the lid of the jewelry box. Then, a large hand stretched out from behind her and hovered over the jewelry box.

“This would be nice. It goes well with the color of your eyes.”

What her fingertips pointed to were lovely earrings made of rose quartz and pearls. Annette quietly looked behind her. There, Lapel, who had just returned from training, stood tall like a huge mountain. Dressed in a tight-fitting black training suit, he looked very dangerous and manly.

When Annette's eyes met, Lapel quietly averted her gaze. Strangely, as before, she couldn't make eye contact with her. Unfamiliar heat tickled her chin her, then traveled up her ears and colored her temples and cheeks. Overly goofy face in front of Annette.

“Today she is sleeping over at her houseHer?”

“Yes. We're having a pajama party with the girls.

Annette replied with a soft smile. As she benefits a Bavarian woman, she lies her were perfect. Today, Annette pretended to be staying over at Celestine's house and intended to rob Grouty number 4. To catch Ben March, the culprit behind all this. Before her big day, her heart was beating like a little bird.

Luckily, Rafel didn't notice her lie in her. He was distracted by the feelings of love he now realizes for the first time. Dissatisfied with the fact that Annette was staying out, he could not easily leave the dressing table and wandered around him Like a big cat trying to disturb the owner when he goes out.

“What's wrong, Lapel?”

“…… That pajama party.
