The Knight looked blankly at the back of Agnes’ hands and her face.
“Oh, no way…….”
“Your head is really stiff, isn’t it?” she said in a cold voice.
There is only one woman in this country who has a royal family crest.
Upon realizing her true identity, the knight immediately threw away her sword and knelt down on her muddy ground.
“P, Princess!”
The words made the faces of the other knight around him think. One after another, they knelt down and bowed their heads.
The commoners, who saw the appearance of the knights, were confused as they didn’t know what was happening, they hurriedly fell on the floor when they heard the word “princess” from somewhere.
Hundreds of people, including knights, were lying face down in front of her with their backs showing.
Today, she could see a scene that she had never thought of before.
Jamie was the only one standing straight.
“Jamie,”
“…….”
“Come here,”
Agnes stretched out her hand towards the child.
Jamie, who had not taken his eyes off at Dora’s body, walked to Agnes, shivering.
“Ney… …. Are you a princess?”
“Yes,”
“Then please save my mother.”
The child lay on the floor with his forehead as others did.
“Please, my mother, please save my mother. Princess. Princess. My mom, heuk!”
“…….”
An unbearable sense of helplessness came.
Being born as a child of a king, making a contract with a dragon, and knowing the future was useless.
“Mom, mom, I, mom, princess, my mom, mom…….”
Jamie didn’t last long and fainted. His whole body was hot like a ball of fire.
Agnes, without hesitation, put her knees on the floor and hugged the child.
“Call a doctor right now. hurry!”
One of the soldiers who was lying down ran to the castle in haste.
The knight, who first recognized her, looked up awkwardly and looked at her.
“We cannot have a noble person on a dirty floor. Please go inside first, Princess.”
“What is your name?”
“My name is Carl Berto.”
“I will remember you and your master. I will not forget, Carl Berto, that you tried to stab and kill an innocent child under the age of ten.”
“It was an order from the palace. The Lord didn’t like it either, but he had no choice but to do it.”
He sweated and laid out his excuses. Agnes hugged Jamie’s hot body and murmured in a low voice.
“You said it was the King’s order.”
“Yes,”
“How far has the disease spread?”
“The southernmost part is almost destroyed. In addition, the plague is spreading slowly to the northern region.”
The knight whispered in a low voice.
She bit her lips. She was completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation.
Soon the soldier brought the doctor. Next to him stood Count Pierce, the lord of Reneka, with a pale face.
“D, Duchess.”
Agnes was kneeling on the floor, so the count had to lower himself.
“How did you get here.…. If you had told me in advance, I would have served you with all my heart.”
“Show this child to the doctor first.”
Agnes said calmly. An elderly doctor behind him carefully examined the child.
“It seems like his body is weak. If you prescribe a drug that will lower the fever, he will recover his energy.”
“D, Duchess, please come inside.” said Count Pierce as if begging. Agnes finally rose from her seat.
As she moved, the people who were bowing down their faces lifted their heads up.
“Count Pierce,”
“Yes. Duchess.”
“How far has the plague spread within the city?”
“Oh, don’t worry about that. As Your Highness has ordered, those who have or are suspected of having the plague, and anyone who has come into contact with them, are being killed.”
“Killed” asked Agnes indifferently. The count paused for a moment, but then nodded.
“Yes. I have received an order from the palace.”
“What kind of symptoms do they get when they get sick?”
“Oh, that’s….…. a fever and cough. Um, ah! Did I mention that they also vomit?” said the Count stuttering.
No.
It was quite different from the symptoms of the plague she knew.
Diarrhea, chills, and rash appear, and the armpit and groin swell up within 10 days.
However, only a few of the bodies on the cart had rashes.
Agnes secretly clenched his fist.
‘It wasn’t just the plague that caused so many deaths.’
Sebastian.
She muttered his name to herself.
How many crimes have you committed?
