“Really? No, Princess is this small. What did you eat at the palace when you were young? Maybe that’s why you didn’t grow enough?”
“This is the average height in the capital. It’s the average height of the royal family!”
Agnes shook her shoulders and shouted. On the other hand, Zoltan snorted loudly.
“Hey, don’t lie to me even though I’m a villager who hasn’t been in the capital. How can people grow so short? Now, your height barely reaches my chest.”
“No, Agnes is all tall enough, you have to believe it!”
“Even if you say so, the Princess is too small. I think I was like that when I was thirteen.”
“Sir Zoltan.”
She tried hard to smile with the corners of her mouth up.
“Yes.”
“Your birthday is in summer.”
“Oh, yes. Actually, it’s this month.”
“No.”
“What?”
“Your birthday is not this month.”
“My birthday is this month…”
“Unfortunately, there’s no birthday for you this year.”
“What? What does that mean?”
“So I don’t think I’ll be able to prepare a birthday present. I’ll give you your armor next year.”
Agnes walked ahead after saying that.
“Oh, no! Princess! Princess. Oh, my I’m so jealous of your height.”
Later, Zoltan came to Agnes and rattled, but Agnes only snorted.

A few days later, a letter came from Roland. It was quite thick, unlike usual.
As soon as Agnes checked the contents of the letter, she burned it cleanly in the brazier.
The data in the envelope is the evidence of Count Cellon’s smuggling and trafficking.
In addition, there was a portrait of the pirate king.
Agnes read them carefully.
“How should I contact the count?”
Count Cellon’s territory is the end of the South, so there is only little exchange with Sutmar.
Perhaps she would not have attended the party if it wasn’t for Agnes, who was close to him.
Originally, he is not a person who empties the land often because of pirates who frequently invade the southern coastline.
“Ugh…..”
He grabbed her head and hung around for a while.
I couldn’t think of anything that would bring me in contact with the Count.
I was impatient.
If there is a war this fall, it will be difficult to meet the count for the time being.
I wanted to solve it as quickly as possible before that.
“Is something wrong?”
Laslo was standing in front of her when she came into her senses.
“No, it’s nothing.”
Agnes covered the materials related to Count Cellon with a book, which she had placed on her desk.
“I heard you ordered more warhorses.”
“Yes. Is that a problem?”
“It’s not a problem. But I think there will be more war horses than horsemen in the castle.”
“Then I’ll increase the number of horsemen. I’m going to create another Order and increase it.”
“Do you want to increase the number of knights?”
Agnes was a little surprised. In fact, the number of troops currently maintained was considerable.
Compared to the past, the number has tripled.
It’s good to increase the number of troops, but I was worried that Sebastian would notice and be wary.
“That’s what I’m thinking.”
“No matter how much Arpad has no restrictions on private soldiers, it will cost a lot of money to maintain that level of standing army.”
“We don’t have to worry about money, right?”
“Hmm. That’s how it should be. But even with these numbers, there’s no big problem in maintaining the security of the land, but is there a reason for that?”
“Of course, you’re right. But think about it like this.”
Laslo continued to speak calmly.
“If the number of the territory’s residents increases in the future. Then, naturally, there will be more manpower required for public security, and more manpower will be needed for the defense of the beast.”
“Hmm.”
Agnes let out a short moan. What he says makes sense.
“Okay. I’ll leave out the budget for that.”
“Thank you.”
Laslo smiled lightly.
“Oh, while talking about it. Agnes the territory is growing. Shall we make a summer festival?”
“Summer festival?”
“Right now, there is only one festival which is the harvest festival hosted by the temple during the harvest season, but as I said, the number of the residents increased and the internal affairs were stable, so I thought about creating a festival.”
“What does summer festival mean?”
“Ahm? There are concerts in the garden every summer like in the capital, or boating with rose petals floating like in the south?”
“Oh, like a night of roses?”
It was a famous festival that many people visit because love comes true when you go boating with flower petals floating in the river.
“Yes. It’s usually done at this time of year, so we do…..”
”Rose Night!”
She thought of a reason to go south. Agnes jumped up from her seat in great excitement.
“Duke, did we get any invitations from the South? No…….Ney!!”
Ney, who was waiting over the room, approached quickly.
Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks
“You called, Madam.”
“Bring all the invitations from the South.”
“Yes.”
“Agnes. What’s going on?”
“Wait a minute. Duke. I’ll explain it to you right away.”
After a while, Ney came back. Several invitations were placed on the silver tray.
Agnes looked through it quickly.
Fortunately, she was able to quickly find what she wanted.
The golden invitation was stamped with the seal of the Cellon family.
Agnes couldn’t hold back her sulky laughter and kept smiling.
I can’t believe I came up with this now.
Every summer, the Rose Night held at the Count of Cellon’s was a famous summer festival as Laslo said.
No one would think it’s strange that Agnes went south for Rose Night and accidentally met Count Cellon.
“Duke, I’ll go to the south for a while.”
“Why? Are you going to the night of roses?”
“Yes. I really wanted to go there.”
Agnes’ eyes shone suddenly. On the other hand, Laslo’s face was distorted.
“But isn’t it held at Count Cellon’s territory?”
“That’s right.”
“Do you really need to go all the way there? I’ll tell Niall m to make a festival just like the night of roses.”
Laslo acted as if he was going to tell Naill to do it right away.
”Duke, I’m sorry, but what I want to go to is the night of roses.”
”Do you have to go?”
Agnes nodded firmly.
”Ha! Then I’d go with you.”

“No.”
Niall shook his head firmly.
“Does it make sense that the master is going away at this important time? You’ve been away enough this spring.”
“But what’s really important is that it’s organized to some extent.
“Just because it’s less important doesn’t mean it’s not important. If you’re going to the south, make sure one person stays on the land.”
Niall came out strong.
Spring is originally a season with a lot of work to do.
However, this spring, I went to the capital city once due to the coronation ceremony, and after a while, I was invited by the king and emptied the land again, so I was behind my work.
Under such circumstances, Laslo was absolutely reluctant to allow Agnes to leave.
“Agnes. It’s a false rumor that love will come true just because we’re on a boat together with floating petals. Do you know that?”
When he entered the room, he talked for a long time about how vain the legend the Rose of the Night was.
“Okay, okay. That’s just a superstition, right?”
”By the way, if, by any chance, Count Cellon asks you to go on a boat with you, you have to reject it very firmly.”
“Okay. If he asks me to go on a boat, I will spit in his face.”
At that moment, Laslo lifted his hand from Agnes’ shoulder, which he had been holding tightly.
“When are you about to leave?”
“Tomorrow.”
“What? That fast?”
“Even if I leave now, I think I’ll arrive in the middle of the festival.”
“I think you should take your time.”
“What if the festival is over and when I arrive?”
“…….”
Laslo kept his mouth shut. It was only then that he realized that this is what she wanted.
“Duke Arpad.”
“That’s…..Laslo.”
“What?”
“Hmm. Isn’t it natural for a couple to call each other’s name?”
“All of a sudden?”
“I think it’s better to call each other by the right name. When will you start calling your husband’s name?”
Laslo came out strong. Agnes clapped her lips.
I’ve said it a few times, but I was too shy to do it in front of him.
“Um… Um… Of course. Um… Laslo.”
“Agnes.”
He put his face close to her. After blinking a few times, Laslo’s face was right in front of her
“Please promise me one thing.”
“What?”
His breath felt stark because they were close to each other’s faces. Somehow Agnes’ cheeks heated up.
“Come back to me safely.”
Our forehead touched. Laslo did not bat an eye..
My throat tickled.
Heat passed by the dark green eyes. Agnes unknowingly raised her hand and put it on her cheek.
I think I’m going to burn myself because it’s hot.
Laslo took her hand on her cheek and kissed the tip of it.
“Don’t get hurt.”
“Yes. I’ll come back safely and without getting hurt.”

Laslo hugged Agnes as hard as he could, exhaling with regret.
