Chapter 367: Friends (3)
"I am not married," Annalise answered, pulling her hand away from Giselle. "Rafael has just ordered everyone to address me as the lady of the manor."
"Without a ring? That is odd," Giselle said, confused as to why a ring wasn’t on Annalise’s finger if Rafael would go so far as to give her that title. "See to it that he proposes to you before you do anything with him. Do not let him dangle that title in your face, but not make it official with a ring. It has happened a few times where men ended up marrying someone else so the title meant nothing to the women they led on."
"Rafael isn’t a fool to lead me on. I just might kill him," Annalise said, watching Heidi walk up the steps.
"You’ll kill the commander of knights? That’s funny," Giselle chuckled, playfully tapping Annalise’s arm. She never heard of a woman so crazy to think she could kill Rafael.
"Why couldn’t I? He lets his guard down with me so much. How many times must I say that if I wanted to, I could? Doing it to you would be easy too," Annalise said, looking to her right at Giselle’s neck. "Just one snap. You didn’t get candy?" Annalise asked Heidi, turning away from Giselle.
Giselle touched her neck, feeling worried about it now. It scared her that she couldn’t tell if Annalise was serious or trying to scare her. "Am I safe here?" She asked. Even with her brother as one of the knights here, would he make it in time to save her?
"You are safe. I was just scaring you," Annalise said, touching Giselle’s hand to calm her. "How would I ever be able to hurt Rafael or you? I like both of you anyway."
"Right," Giselle nervously laughed. "That would be impossible. You got me," she said, sliding her hand down to her chest to try to calm herself.
"I did get a few," Heidi answered, taking out a bag she stuffed in her dress.
