“Let me be blunt. I can’t stay long.”
“Please speak comfortably.”
“Princess Agnes is coming to the palace for you.”
“What?”
What he was worried about became a reality. Laslo’s forehead frowned deeply.
“I must make an audience with His Highness. His misunderstanding something about Agnes….”
“What misunderstanding?”
“I’m sorry, but do you think Agnes has an unfaithful heart toward his highness?”
“Did the king say that?”
“Yes.”
“And now he’s making that a reason.”
For a moment, Laslo was speechless with the queen’s sharp tongue. Ilona made a mockery of it.
“Sebastian always wanted to kill Agnes but he couldn’t do it. So, he’s trying to make it seem like she is a traitor.”
“Why does he have such a bad relationship with Agnes? Is there anything else I don’t know about?”
“Duke Arpad. Do you not get it yet?”
The queen’s face showed signs of exhaustion.
“You shouldn’t look at him like a normal person. It’s a natural thing for him to kill if it bothers him.”
“What do you mean bother…Is that the only reason?”
“For Sebastian, that’s enough to kill people.”
“But isn’t Agnes the king’s real sister? Although the mother is different.”
Ilona laughed loudly at his naive remarks.
“He killed his father himself, it’s no different from his sister.”
“……!”
When the king died, such rumors circulated in the palace for a while. The impatient first prince poisoned his father and stole his crown.
“Your highness. You mean….”
“……That’s a long story. Once Agnes arrives at the palace, go back to Sutmar as soon as possible.”
“I’d love to. But I don’t know if the king will allow it.”
“Why are you so frustrating? Just sneak out of the palace or whatever, I’m telling you to leave.”
“What?”
“I can’t help you in person, but I know a few people who can help the duke.”
“Who is it?”
“I’m going to visit at the same time tomorrow night. That’s all I can help you with.”
At that time, the maid, who was standing far away, approached without a sound of footsteps.
“Time is up. Your Highness.”
“Is it like that already?”
Ilona got up from her seat. Laslo also followed the queen to the door.
“Duke, do you love Agnes?”
She turned to Laslo as she tried to cross the doorway. The answer was not difficult.
“Yes, more than my life.”
“Then, by all means, protect her. Don’t lose like me in vain.”
Her last words settled heavily on his chest. Laslo reflected on what she had said before she left.
“Agnes…….”
I missed her terribly today.
* * *
Agnes was shocked when she crossed the great gates of the capital. The appearance of the capital she knew was nowhere to be found, and the streets were a mixture of plague-ridden bodies and dying people.
“That’s terrible.”
Max murmured, holding his nose. The smell was so bad that he couldn’t help but hold his breath.
“I heard the damage to the capital was great, but I didn’t know it would be this bad.”
“Tell the knights to pay special attention.”
“Yes.”
As we got closer to the palace, the number of bodies lying on the floor decreased, but it was not without them.
‘The situation is so serious but you’re thinking of buying wheat and going to war more.’
Roland’s letter only said that he had killed Devon’s messenger and returned the body. The country fell into an incredible mess.
“Whoa, whoa, stop.”
Then someone jumped out on a horse in front of Agnes’ carriage. The face she saw through the carriage window looked familiar.
“Duchess!”
“Erica?”
Erica Kiske soon got off the horse and bowed gracefully.
“How have you been?”
“How did you know I was here?”
He came without notifying anyone but the king of her visit. In addition, Agnes passed the gate less than hours ago. Erica said with a smile.
“I bought the gatekeeper of the castle and asked him to let me know right away if there was a key figure among the people who came and went.”
“……is that so.”
“You’re trying to enter the palace, right? Can I talk to you for a second before that?”
“Get in the carriage.”
“Thank you.”
The carriage door closed and Erica sat diagonally in Agnes’ direction.

“I’ve already written to you, but Milan went half-crazy and was stuck in his room, and my father is grinding his teeth at Count Barania.”
“Isn’t it supposed to be the opposite?”
“Hmm. Milan was attacked by an assassin and lost his right leg.”
“What?”
“My father believes it was the work of Count Barania. So, in exchange for giving me the marquis title, he insisted on taking a thorough revenge on Count Barania.”
It took Agnes a while to understand the words because Erica spoke so casually.
“Wait, are you approved as the successor? When?”
“Yesterday evening. There’s no reason to postpone it anymore because I brought my fiancé.”
“You’re engaged? When did that happen?”
The more they talked, the more she was surprised. Agnes forgot to close her mouth for a moment.
“Oh, that was 10 days ago. The Duchess knows him. No, it can be said that I met him thanks to the Duchess.”
“There is only one single aristocratic man I know”
Just in time someone knocked on the carriage door. Agnes opened the window to look outside and was surprised to see an unexpected person.
“No, how could you be here?”
“Oh, you’re just in time.”
“Excuse me, but can I go inside?” Enrico Dentarike said, catching a rough breath.
She saw him once, but she can’t forget him.
“Come in for now.”
“Thank you, Duchess.”
It was a pretty wide carriage, but it felt cramped with three adults. He sat next to Erica very naturally. The only man who can sit next to an unmarried woman is his spouse or family.
Agnes looked at the faces of men and women alternately with bitter eyes.
“Two of you?”
“Yes, I’m glad the count said he was looking for a bride.”
“Have I ever introduced you two?”
“When I was staying in Estar, Miss Erica visited the castle. That’s when we first met.”
“It was a fateful encounter.”
Erica spoke nonchalantly. Enrico looked at her fiance with lovely eyes.
“Erica was the first woman to tell me, ‘All you have is money and face, but it doesn’t matter.’“
“Oh, my. How can you say such a thing in front of the Duchess?”
“Uh… Congratulations on your engagement.”
Agnes looked like someone who chewed something bitter, and for a while only her lips fluttered.
“But did you get on the carriage to talk about this?”
Her voice came out unintentionally. Erica said with a smile, as if she had noticed it.
“No, of course it’s more important.”
“A few days ago, I met the duke in secret.”
Agnes’ complexion completely changed when Laslo became the topic.
“Did you meet him in person? How is he? Do you see any injuries? How’s his face?”
“He’s very healthy and fine. Don’t worry too much.”
“Sigh. What a relief.”
Enrico’s words relieved her nervousness and anxiety a little. She was afraid that Sebastian had done anything wrong to Laslo.
“We’ve already arranged an escape route. After the duchess entered the palace…….”
“Before that, I have a question.”
Erica leaned forward, cutting off Enrico’s words.
“Is it true that the reason why the king kept the duke in an abandoned palace was because the Duchess tried to rebel?”
“Does that make sense? Why would the Duchess do such a thing?”
“What if it’s true?”
Agnes slowly crossed her legs and stood stiffly. Erica did not panic.
“But shouldn’t we know where the ship is going when we’re on the same boat?”
“Are you completely on board?”
“Well, first of all, we’ll have to check if it’s a perforated ship before we get on it.”
Agnes smirked when she heard that she would run away if it sank. But she still showed her true feelings.
“The king’s words are not completely wrong.”
“Were you really preparing for a rebellion?”
“Because I had to do everything to escape death.”
Enrico’s face was shocked as he believed the rumors were completely false. On the other hand, Erica looked overly calm.
“Are you not surprised?”
“I expected it a little bit. You’ve always given me too much help than I needed. When you give something like that, you want something bigger than that.”
“I’m glad you understand very well.”
Agnes looked at Erica with a friendly smile.
“It doesn’t look like you’ve prepared it for a month or two, have you been planning it for a long time?”
“Yes, I was thinking about it even before the coronation.”
“Why do you want to be king? You weren’t interested in the throne.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Agnes continued calmly.
“I had no desire to be king. It doesn’t matter what happens as long as my life is with me.”
Agnes still remembers that day when she fell at Sebastian’s feet and begged that only her life be spared. At that time, the most important thing was her life, and nothing else.
However, when the gate collapsed and was on the verge of death, Agnes gained something more important than her own life, not only Laslo but also countless people who died for her. She would do anything to protect them.
