Chapter 412: Harmless (2)
Rafael let go of Annalise’s hand to be the one to approach Tobias first."More like you harassed me with letters days before, telling me to attend or you would assign me to another feud after I told you that I needed a break."
Rafael was close to being like Edgar wanting to kill the king. He was always aware of how much Tobias depended on him and rarely had an issue with it in the past, but now that he wanted to just spend time with Annalise, Tobias’s constant letters were starting to annoy him.
"Now now. Don’t get too upset. Today is meant to celebrate Hazel and me having a child. Plus meeting with friends we don’t see often. Dominic and Heather should be here soon. Then there is Linda with her escort. Benjamin and all his children might be coming. Everyone is getting married just as I planned," Tobias credited himself.
Tobias had started a plan after he got married that all of his friends should follow and join him. He managed to get the hardest of the bunch married, though Edgar didn’t pick the woman Tobias had in mind. Tobias took all credit for Edgar marrying Alessandra as he was the one to send Edgar to the baron’s home.
"Uhmm," Annalise said, making her presence known as it seemed the king had not noticed her. He was focused on Rafael alone with a big smile on his face as he was excited to see his friend.
She almost regretted making herself known and ruining their little reunion.
Now the king looked past Rafael to where she stood and said, "He is so tall that I didn’t see you there. Welcome!"
Annalise curtsied before the king as Siena told her to do. She was grateful for Siena telling her what to do at the last moment because Annalise didn’t know much about the rules of the palace. Learning the ones for towns was already hard to remember. "Thank you for the invite. I hope you can forgive what happened between us."
Her plan to send Thomas to Lockwood to kill the king would not exactly be the first time she tried to kill Tobias. She was sometimes involved in her father’s plans and provided suggestions on how to get to the king and kill him.
