She Was Sent by God

“Thank you for hanging out with me today.
Duchess.”

“Well, it was a good deal.”

“I’ll never forget you”.

“Is it that bad?”

She laughed because she thought it was a joke, but there was no smile on Emmerich’s face.

In the meantime, the ship arrived at the port completely.

Emmerich held Agnes’ hand and escorted her as he did when they came.

They were about to get off the ship.

When Agnes got surprised.

She shook off Emmerich’s hand and ran forward.

“Laslo!”

A person who she wasn’t expecting came out to meet her on a horse.

Laslo immediately got off from the horse and opened his arms wide towards Agnes who’s running.

Agnes ran out of breath and hugged him hard.

“How did you get here?”

“You didn’t get in touch with me.”

“Oh, I’m sorry.
I forgot to send a letter.”

“Really?”

Laslo gave Agnes a stronger hug with a meaningful smile.

“I’m glad you’re okay.”

“I’m at a festival.
What’s going to happen?”

“Let’s go together next time.
You, not being around is lonely, I couldn’t stand it.”

Laslo’s sigh was heard over her head.
She felt like her body was melting in the warmth she had felt after a long time.

“But you’re really beautiful today.
Agnes, so dazzling.”

“Oh, is that so? Thank you.”

Agnes smiled broadly and said to Laslo.
Emmerich got off the ship and said, walking slowly to them.

“If you had told me in advance that you were coming, I would have prepared to greet you.
Duke.”

“You don’t have to do that.
We’ll leave right away tomorrow.”

Laslo answered firmly, unprecedentedly.

“That fast? Please stay a little longer.
We will serve you without neglect.”

“No.
I have some work to do on our territory.”

His tone was too hard and short.

With a subtle hostility, Agnes deliberately pulled Laslo’s arm.

“You just arrived, right? You worked hard coming here.
Did you have dinner?”

“It was simple.
What about you?

“Me too.
Oh, We’ll go first.
Count.”

“Yes, please rest.”

Emmerich bowed his head.
Agnes turned around and returned to the castle with Laslo.

“Count.”

A servant hesitantly approached with a colorful bouquet of flowers.

It was fresh and beautiful.

“What should I do with this?”

He felt like he was going to choke on the scent of flowers.

Countless emotions passed one by one on his face.

Emmerich closed his eyes for a very short time and opened them.

“Throw it away.”

* * *

“How was the rose night?”

“Hmm.
It wasn’t bad.”

There were many twists and turns, but as a result, there were unexpected benefits.

“Really? Did you enjoy boating with Count?”

“Of course…”

Agnes covered her mouth while trying to answer without thinking.

Then she glanced up at him.

Laslo’s face was no different from usual, but somehow his eyes were calm.

“It was a very, very hard day.”

“Really?”

“Yeah.
I feel like I’m getting seasick.
He scolded me a lot.
I couldn’t see anything around me.”

Agnes frowned on purpose, making all sorts of pretensions.

“Then get some rest today.
We’ll leave as soon as the sun rises tomorrow.”

His voice was still low, but became softer than before.

Laslo took her in front of the bedroom.

“Thank you for picking me up here.
Laslo.”

“It’s my joy.”

He smiled and left a light kiss on Agnes’ forehead.

“See you tomorrow.”

The bedroom door is closed.

Laslo spoke to the knight behind him with a stern face.

“Bring my sword.”

* * *

“The Duke is here.”

A servant announced Laslo’s visit in a quiet voice.

“Take him inside.” 

“Yes.”

The door opened.
Laslo strode inside.

Emmerich stood up from his seat and welcomed him.

“Sit this way.”

The count couldn’t finish his speech.

As soon as Laslo entered the office, he pulled out a sword and aimed at Emmerich.

“Western greetings are radical.”

“How dare you threaten and detain my wife and speak up.”

“What do you mean threaten? How dare I.”

Emmerich maintained a smiling face.
Laslo took the sword to the tip of his chin and put it on it.

“Are you ready to pay for it?”

“Calm down, please.
Sir.”

“Calm down? How can I calm down?”

“I don’t know why you think so, but I wasn’t holding the Duchess.”

“But why did you move her room, block all contacts, and separate her personal maid?”

“I moved her to the coolest room in the castle because she is sensitive to the heat, and I didn’t block the contact, but we couldn’t deliver your letter because there was a mistake in classifying letters from our side.”

“What about her personal maid?”

“I left her to rest because she said she was not feeling well, and I let my maids attend to the duchess.”

Emmerich responded without hesitation to all his questions as if he had prepared.

Laslo came into his room and laughed for the first time.

“The Count.
You’re telling lies without breaking a sweat.”

“You already believe it’s a lie, so anything I say is useless.”

There was a long and complicated silence between the two men.

Laslo faced Emmerich’s eyes for a long time.

“If Agnes had hurt even the tip of his hair, I would have cut off the count’s neck without hesitation.”

“Why would I harm the duchess?”

“But looking at the count now, I should have been worried about something else.”

A thousand of emotions boiled inside him when he saw Agnes get off the boat with Count Cellon.

It’s not because she’s beautifully decorated and with another man.

It’s because Emmerich’s eyes showed an inseparable affection for her.

It can’t be an illusion.

Because when I look in the mirror when I’m with her, he’s the same.

“I don’t think the count would be shameless coveting someone else’s wife.
Did I think wrong?”

“That can’t be right”

“Whatever promise came and went between you and Agnes in the past, Agnes is my wife now.”

Emmerich’s face, which had been smiling the whole time, was irritated.

“I know it well.
Sir.
You don’t have to remind me.”

“No.”

“……….”

“Looking at those eyes, I think I should remind you.”

At some point, the corners of Emmerich’s mouth went down completely.

“I warn you.
Count.”

“……….”

“Don’t let me ask the count for a duel.”

Only then did Laslo put the sword back into the sheath.

“We’ll leave as soon as dawn rises tomorrow, so you don’t have to pick us up.”

He left the room after that.

As soon as she entered the room, Ney nagged and worried at once.

“Madam! Do you know how worried I was? Suddenly, the Madam disappeared and when I asked, they said you moved to a different room, and when I asked them to take me where you are they locked me up in a strange place, saying I looked sick.”

“Did you get hurt?”

“No.
But I was treated like a patient, I barely contacted the Lord.”

“Hmm? Did you call the Duke?”

No wonder Laslo came too quickly.

“How on earth?”

“Well, that’s actually……….”

Ney’s face is slightly flushed.
She looked into the air avoiding Agnes’ eyes.

“……I was sending a message through a carrier falcon.”

“With who?”

“……..Sir Zoltan.”

“What? I thought you already fixed everything before.”

“Can you fix your feelings so easily?”

“Didn’t you say you can cut it like a knife?”

“Oh my.
Did I say something bad like that?”

Ney opened her eyes wide and trembled.

“Oh, You said you would never marry a man who drinks alcohol in the middle of the day.”

“He wants to stop drinking.”

Agnes laughed in vain because she was dumbfounded.

“Hang on.
Does Laslo know everything about this situation?”

“Yes, I wrote down everything I knew about the situation.”

“Oh, my”.

Agnes let out a short sigh.
She was wondering what excuse to make to Laslo tomorrow.

“Madam, it’s late, so go to sleep now.
I heard we’re leaving early tomorrow morning.”

“Okay.”

Agnes changed her clothes with the help of Ney.

‘What should I say to Laslo?’

I fell asleep while worrying about it until late at night.

But overshadowing her worries, Laslo did not ask Agnes anything.

“Why do you look at me like that?”

“No, well.
It’s….”

It was awkward to bring it up first, so Agnes decided to just shut up.

Unlike when she went down to the south, she arrived at the territory quickly.

Unlike usual, Zoltan came to meet them.

To be exact, he came to meet Ney.

When he saw the territory couple getting off the wagon, he quickly approached.

“What about Ney?”

“Sir Zoltan.
Did you not see your brother?”

“I didn’t ask because I saw him.”

Agnes sighed for a short time.

She had nothing more to say back, so he pointed her finger in the carriage.

Soon after, Niall approached and greeted them.

“You’re back.
Master.
Madam.
Did you enjoy the festival?”

“Hmm.
It was nice, but it was hard because it was hot.
It’s definitely less humid in the west.”

“Um.
It was good, but it was hard because it was hot.
The weather is definitely less humid in the west.
I think I’ll live on that alone.”

“Isn’t it humid in the south?”

Niall walked next to me.
Agnes looked around once.

As soon as I arrived in front of the castle, I thought I could finally relax.

Come to think of it, Estar Castle had never felt like a resting place in the past, but many things had changed.

“Oh.
Madam.
We have a guest.
Both of you weren’t here, so I arbitrarily brought her to the guest room of the main building.”

“Guest? Who?”

There was no guest who made an appointment for her.

Agnes took off her hat and handed it over to the maid and asked.

“Who is it?”

Niall laughed awkwardly.
