But to be honest, the way to the bedroom was too complicated and cumbersome.
The bedroom is covered with bright colors from the floor to the wall.
But Agnes instead of expressing her displeasure,
“Thank you.”
She said, smiling softly at him.
Laslo’s face turned red in an instant.
“Hmm. What do you mean thank you?”
“Can I ask you a favor?”
“Of course. Tell me anything.”
“Please reduce the number of my maids.”
“No!”
A surprisingly quick and firm response of refusal came back.
“At least remove the escort knights. Is there any reason for Matron and Max to follow me?”
“It’s normal to have guards in groups of two.”
Laslo shook his head sternly.
“Where do you think I will go? Why do I need two escorts to go back and forth from the office and the bedroom?”
“It is just right for the Duchess to always be accompanied by a knight.”
“Up until now, I didn’t have an escort knight but I did not experience any problem.”
“It’s because I was indifferent and neglectful to you. Please forgive me.”
“Have I ever felt indifferent or neglectful?”
Agnes strongly insisted, but it didn’t work.
Rather, Laslo was worried that the seven maids and two knights was not enough.
“It’s overflowing.”
“I hope you don’t feel any shortcomings in this castle.”
Laslo’s green eyes filled with sincerity, Agnes said as he hesitated.
“… There’s nothing lacking.”
“It’s because I always feel inadequate.”
He carefully reached out and covered the back of Agnes’s hand, which was on the table.
“I only remember what I couldn’t do for you.”
“……”
“Every day I think about how to give something better.”
“Laslo.”
“When I see you, I keep getting nervous.”
He smiled bitterly. Agnes somehow couldn’t say anything.
“If you are really uncomfortable, I will reduce the number of the maids serving you. However, the knight is for your safety, so please don’t send them away.”
“Let’s do it that way.”
Laslo got up from his seat. Naturally, his hand, which was covering Agnes’ hand, also let go.
“I’ll get going now. Have a good night’s sleep.”
When the heat surrounding the back of her hand disappeared, she felt empty.
Agnes touched the back of her hand, where Laslo’s had touched.
Her heart tickled like a flower swaying in the spring breeze.
Every time she saw Laslo’s face, she was overcome with this strange feeling.
Her intestines shook as if her toes had been torn apart, but it was also comfortable as if she was resting with a hard rock on her back.
When Laslo left, the maids who were standing afar approached Agnes.
“Shall we prepare for a bath?”
“Do that.”
If I soak my body in warm water, will this tickling heart subside a little?
Agnes took off her clothes and entered the bath.
“Are you worried about something?”
Ney asked, looking at Agnes’ eyes.
“No, nothing…….”
She tried to deny it, saying it was nothing, but suddenly she remembered that Ney was skilled in things between men and women.
“Ney.”
“Yes Madam.”
“What makes your heart tickle when you keep looking at someone?”
“Oh.”
Ney’s eyes twinkled excessively.
“Who are you looking at?”
“Don’t ask and give me the answer first.”
“It may be a little different depending on the target, but maybe it’s love, isn’t it?”
“Love?”
Agnes mumbled the word love over and over again, as if it were an unfamiliar word she had ever heard before.
“So, who is it? The Master? Right? Is it the Master?”
“Don’t say nonsense, just wash my hair.”
Then Ney carefully washed her hair with a meaningful laugh.
When she came out of her bath, her body was tired.
Usually, she would have fallen asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow, but strangely, she couldn’t fall asleep.
“Ney.”
Agnes, in a low voice, called the maid who had just opened the door and was about to leave.
“Do you need anything?”
“Please sit here for a second.”
All the other maids were gone and only Ney was left. Agnes jumped out of bed.
“Ney. What’s going on with Sir Zoltan these days?”
“What? Well, he’s fine.”
“What do you mean by fine?”
“It means to flirt in moderation and love in moderation.”
A smile appeared on Ney’s face. It was as gentle as spring.
“Well then, um. When did you know you loved Sir Zoltan?”
“Love, I don’t know.”
Ney fell into a short dilemma when asked a random question.
Agnes mentally counted the number of cases.
When the other person’s face shines? Or when you can only see the other person in the whole world?
