CHAPTER 51

You can only obtain one mana stone if you bring gold of the same weight.

However, making hundreds of light spheres using such mana stone is something that cannot be established with any financial resources.

 

“Oh, I’m lucky to be able to get Mana stone”

 

Agnes wet her lips with a glass of alcohol pretending to be insignificant.

 

“Is the Light Sphere also lighting up the outer wall of the castle?”

 

Erica’s eyes widened.

 

“That’s right.”

 

Agnes nodded with a light smile.

 

“It costs much cheaper than a lamp, candles or oil, so it is quite useful.”

“How long does it last?”

 “Hmm.
The wizard said it can last up to three years.”

“3 years?”

“If you like it, do you want one?”

 

Agnes spoke with a benevolent face.

 

“I’d appreciate it if you’d give it to me.
I don’t know if it’s okay to take something precious.”

“What? This is nothing.”

 

Soon after, a servant brought a box and offered it politely.

Agnes opened the box herself and told her how to use it.

 

“If you tap it twice like this, the light comes on.
If you tap it again, the light disappears.”

 “Can I see it, too?”

 

A blonde handsome man popped out from behind Erica’s back.

 

“Who are you?”

“He’s my brother, Milan Kiske.”

 

Erica introduced him with a soft smile.

 

“It’s an honor to meet you.
Duchess of Arpad.”

“I’ve heard a lot about you from Miss Erica.
Sir Milan.
You’re as handsome as I heard.”

“Ahaha.
Thank you.
The duchess is beautiful, too.”

 

He smiled and moved forward, beating Erica with his shoulder.

Agnes frowned a little when she saw it, but she didn’t show it.

“By the way, it’s a really interesting item.
What’s is this called?”

 

He lifted the light sphere and looked around.

“It’s called light sphere made from magic stone.
It’s a tool that shines.”

“That’s amazing.”

 

He couldn’t take his eyes off the light sphere.
Agnes made a servant bring another light sphere.

 

“You like it? Take one.”

“Oh, thank you, Duchess.”

 

He didn’t refuse.
Like a child, he held up the light sphere and turned on and off the light repeatedly 

 

“Stop it because it’s distracting.”

 

Erica glared and hit him lightly.

 

“You stay still.
Duchess.
Do you have any plans to sell it?”

 “I’m thinking about it.”

“If you’re going to sell it, please let me know.”

 

He emphasized the words over and over again with greedy eyes.

Agnes nodded half-heartedly.

Milan cherished the box containing the light sphere and walked to another group of nobles.

 

“You’re good at acting.”

 

Agnes spoke softly as she saw Milan’s back moving away.

In fact, Erica already knew the existence of the light sphere.

Their conversation is pre-planned but she didn’t know Milan would pop up in the middle.

 

“There’s nothing I can’t do.”

 

Erica sipped her drink with a calm smile.

 

“What’s your relationship like?”

“Milan is looking down at me insignificantly and I’m looking up at Milan disgustingly.”

“That’s not good.”

“The word ‘worst’ suits him better.
I don’t really pretend to know him in our house.”

 

Erica acted so casually that I was confused at the moment what she was saying.

 

“Is it that bad?”

“Since you were born as a princess, don’t you know better than anyone else?”

“I thought ordinary aristocrats would be different.”

“People are similar everywhere.”

 

Erica muttered as if she had lived ten years more than Agnes.

 

“By the way, it was really crazy a few days ago.”

“What’s going on?”

“My parents finally knew how much Milan lost in gambling.”

“Oh.”

 

Agnes let out a short admiration.
Erica continued to speak in an exciting tone.

 

“He didn’t have enough cash, so he even secured our family’s treasure as collateral.
I’ve never seen my father shout like that.”

“Oh man, the marquis must be deeply worried.”

 

Agnes tried to hold back her sulky laughter.

She hardly lowered the corners of her mouth and made a solemn face.

 

“But what can he do? He is the eldest son and successor of the family.”

“So did the marquis solve it well?”

“Yes.
My father rushed in and made a promissory note.”

“Promissory note?”

“We don’t have much money to pay for it right away.
Not long ago, as my father expanded his business, he also poured money into it.”

“It would be nice if you came up with a good business in such a difficult time.
For example, the light sphere.”

“I know.”

 

Erica walked among the people, flapping her eyelashes and smiling deeply.

When Erica disappeared, nobles who were peeping for opportunities around approached Agnes like bees and talked to her.

 

“Duchess, will you give me a chance to see the shining object up close?”

“Hello.
Duchess.
I’m Louis Mepin from Everdon.
The light sphere that you just showed to Miss Kiske…”

 

Agnes mercifully gave a gift to those who wanted to see the light sphere.

Everyone couldn’t take their eyes off the mystery of light sphere.

 

“Can I ask for a favor, Duchess?”

 

A man with a bright and cheerful voice quietly appeared.

 

“Count Cellon”.

“It’s been a while.”

 

Emmerich Cellon is the martyr in charge of the southern border.
He is the man responsible for the southern border.

Based on its strong military power, its dominance is significant in the south.

In addition, many families have entered the court from generation to generation and have intervened in central politics.

 

“How can I refuse when you’re the one who ask for it?”

I jutted to the servant who was next to me.
The servant walked up and handed the box to the count.

 

“Elemer too, you make a lot of amazing things.”

“Your face looks lighter than before.
I guess it worked.”

 

At Agnes’ clever answer, he burst into laughter.

 

“My sister has seen great results.
Her face is white as white paper, so she can use it instead of paper.”

“That’s good news.”

 

The two talked for a while.

 

“How’s the southern part of the country?”

“It’s similar.
It’s not surprising to see pirates coming in every time they try to plunder.”

“You’re having a hard time, too.”

 

Instead of answering, he laughed.

Just in time, the band began to play the song.

Emmerich handed over the glass he was holding to the servant and reached out to Agnes.

 

“Will you dance to a song?”

 

“Good.”

 

He skillfully escorted Agnes.
It was a slow dance song, so they had enough time to talk while dancing.

 

“The last time I saw you was two years ago…….
You didn’t grow at all.”

“What are you talking about? I’m average.
In contrast, we’re similar in height.”

 

Agnes was furious and immediately refuted.

Emmerich laughed and teased her.

Agnes moved away from him because it was a section where he had to make consecutive turns.
The moment he returned, she stepped on the back of his foot slightly.

 

“Ugh.”

“Was your foot there? I didn’t know.”

“Even if you’re short, your feet are sharp.”

“Oh, my height is average!”

 

Agnes roared.
He couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.

 

“By the way, you haven’t changed a bit.”

 

Emmerich was somewhat similar in age to Chavolti, so the two often hung out.

He met Agnes several times when he was in the palace.

 

“The duchess has changed a lot.”

 ”Me?”

“Yes.
I was a little worried after hearing that you were marrying the Duke of Arpad.”

“What’s there to worry about? I’m living well here, too.”

 

Agnes said as if it was trivial.
Then Emmerich’s expression became a little strange.

 

“Did you know that I was supposed to marry you duchess.”

“Huh?”

“Prince Chavolti asked for this.”

“Chavolti?”

 

Agnes opened his eyes wide and looked up at him.

Emmerich pulled her waist a little hard and whispered in her ear.

 

“At that time, Prince Sebastian’s movement was unusual, so he sent a message to me”

“What did you say?”

“Please propose to the princess.”

 

Emmerich stared at Agnes rudely.

 

“Cellon can protect the princess.
I wrote down my consent, but unfortunately, I was a step late.”

 

But even if the letter arrived on time, the result would have been the same.

Cellon was too strong.
Sebastian, who sees her as a potential risk, would never send Agnes to Cellon.

 

“That’s what happened.”

 

Knowing that, Agnes shrugged her shoulders.

 

“If Cellon territory wasn’t too far away, the fate of me and the Duchess would have changed a lot.”

 

He said softly.

 

“No.”

 

She shook her head firmly.

 

“Even if I died and went back to the past, I would have come to Arpad.”

 

“How are you confident?”

 

The hand holding Agnes’ waist put strength into it.

From some point on, the gap between the two was very narrow, that they could feel each other’s breath.

 

“Count.”

 

It was then.  Laslo appeared and grabbed Emmerich’s shoulder.
