As soon as she finished speaking, her body collapsed on the bed.
Laslo quickly jumped over it and grabbed her by the waist.

“I can’t do it today.
I can’t.
Duke Arpad.”

Agnes punched his shoulder and spoke.
Sadly, it didn’t do any damage to Laslo because she was as powerful as a cotton bat.
Laslo smiled and pulled his wife toward him.

“I know.
I just want to be by your side.”

“…Hmm.”

“I already miss you.
I miss you even though I’m holding you in my arms.
Oh, it’s sad to think that we won’t be able to see each other for months.”

“…… So, who told you to go to war? Just send Sir Zoltan instead.”

Then Laslo just laughed without saying a word.
Agnes reached out and hugged his firm back.

“I’m going to miss you, too.
I will stand on the highest watchtower of the castle every day and wait for you to come.”

She honestly told him how she felt.
She understands what Laslo said.
Even though she’s looking at him like this, she misses him, and holding him in her arms was not enough.

“I’ll be back in the blink of an eye.
I’ll also send you letters often.”

“Okay.
Take plenty of carrier pigeons.”

Agnes said as she ran her finger across the tip of his eyebrow.

“Well, don’t send it through a carrier pigeon if you can.
Since it’s a battlefield, it’s dangerous to fly birds.”

“Is it dangerous?”

“It could be from the enemy, so we shoot the arrows when we see one and hit them.”

“Really? Then…….”

Agnes suddenly thought of an idea.

carrier pigeon.

It is obvious that Matron also exchanged information through a carrier pigeon.
If so, what if they intentionally leak fake information and then shoot the carrier pigeon that Matron will send? Agnes got out of his arms and lifted her back.

“Agnes?”

“I heard from Zoltan that he is looking for spies in the castle.”

“That’s right.”

“I have a way to find him.”

“Hmm? What’s that?”

“Pigeon hunting.”

Agnes smiled deeply and looked at Laslo.

* * * 

When she told Laslo about it.
They tried it one by one, starting with Matron; he, like Zoltan, was struck by her skepticism.

“Well.
Wouldn’t the people of the temple be more influential than Sir Matron?”

“Because I’m trying to get rid of my suspicions.
I’ll have to check out Ney and Niall at this point too.”

“Hmm.”

He casually agreed to her plan.
Agnes deliberately stood in front of Matron, pretending to have very urgent and important information.She was worried that he wouldn’t buy it, but soon he bit the bait.

“This is…”

He checked the note tied to the pigeon’s leg and hardened his face.
There was undeniable clear evidence written there.

“Isn’t that what I told you before in front of Sir Matron?”

“Yeah.
And it’s Matron’s handwriting.”

Agnes looked at the paper that had been tied to the pigeon.
The words Agnes and Laslo had spoken in front of Matron a while ago were written. 

“How dare you.”

Laslo clenched the piece of paper and crumpled it.
An indescribable sense of betrayal rose in his eyes.
Agnes opened her mouth and pretended to be sorry.

“How can Sir Matron do that? I can’t believe it.”

“He was like a brother to me.
That’s why I entrusted you to him… I was stupid.
I’m sorry.”

“Why is that your fault? Don’t blame yourself.”

Agnes comforted him gently.
Zoltan, who belatedly learned the truth, had the same reaction as Laslo.

“Catch him now, torture him and then kill him! This scumbag orphan we took care of, we gave him clothes and fed him and this is how he repaid us.
Neither grace nor loyalty.”

“Didn’t you say that he was Bushke’s grandson?”

“Actually, he is an orphan whom Bushke took in when he was young.
Only a few people know that.”

Zoltan couldn’t contain his anger, and he continued to grunt.

“Why? Why did he choose the king?”

“He may have been the king’s henchman from the beginning.
He was about ten when he first came to the territory.”

Laslo said coldly.
Ten years old is young, but he was old enough to be aware of the situation.

“I’ll take care of this, so pretend you don’t know.”

“Argh.
How can he do that to me?”

Still unsettled by his anger, Zoltan kicked the door.

After he left, Laslo took a deep breath.

“If it wasn’t for you, it would have been a disaster.
I really couldn’t have imagined it.”

“It’s hard to doubt the person who you grew up with.”

“I’m glad we found the spy before anything big happened.”

“What are you going to do? Are you going to appease me?”

“I’ll kill him.
I have to kill him.”

Laslo said without hesitation.

“There is no need to embrace someone who has already betrayed you once.
I plan to create a suitable excuse and deal with it naturally.”

“Okay.
I see.”

“Come to think of it, I have to hire a new escort for you.”

“Oh, that thing.
I already have someone in mind.”

“Hmm? Who is it?”

Agnes smiled brightly at Laslo’s question.

“Sir Beller.
I think it would be good if he’s my escort since I’m already familiar with him.”

“He’s definitely reliable.
I heard you asked Sir Beller to be your escort a while ago?”

“Yeah.
I didn’t know this would happen, it’s a coincidence.”

It was really a coincidence.
Agnes was taken by surprise.
If she hadn’t met Zoltan that day, Agnes would have passed by without knowing about the spy.

“I am suddenly very anxious to leave.”

He couldn’t stand the boiling heart and hugged Agnes.
Agnes quietly buried her face in his chest.

“Don’t worry, because I have Zoltan and there are many guards here.
Don’t come back hurting either.”

Agnes rather threatened him.
Laslo couldn’t stand it and kissed his wife on both cheeks.

Three days before the departure.
At dawn, a stranger knocked on the gate of Estar Castle.

“Who are you?”

“He just said that he was someone who risked his life for Madam.”

As soon as Agnes heard it, she asked to call him right away.
A man with a black cape all over his head limped in and opened the door.

“Please step back.”

Agnes sent all of her attendants outside.
Then he took off the hood and showed his face.
It was Roland in the form of Mihai, an ordinary man with blonde hair and brown eyes.

“What are you doing here?”

“Ten days ago, dozens of elite knights came to the mansion.”

His voice was lower and harsher than usual, and for a moment she almost mistook him for someone else.

“Is it Sebastian?”

“That crazy punk ordered all of his nephews and cousins to be killed.”

“What?”

“He stabbed my young nephew’s stomach and cut off my uncle’s head in front of me.
Then they framed him and hung my uncle’s head on the gate of the city.”

Roland swept down his face roughly.
Agnes was speechless at the terrible behavior.

“Just because I was against the war.”

“…….”

“And he asked me to hand over the full power of Alexandra.
Then, he will let me succeed as the next marquis.”

When he finished speaking, Roland laughed, letting the air slip through his lips.
That smile was so dark it was like a night without the moon.

“I lied down like a dog and said I was going to do it.
I begged at his feet for my life.”

“…….”

“I came here because I was ordered to dig behind the duchess.”

Roland got up from his seat and threw off his cape completely.
Thanks to this, a bandage wrapped around his left leg was visible.
He looked straight at Agnes’ face and soon knelt in front of her.

“Marquis Sandor”.

“It is true that I did not completely trust the Duchess.
So, I tried to live between the king and the duchess in moderation.”

Contrary to his calm face, his voice gradually trembled.
Roland soon bowed down and took a complete posture of obedience.

“Please kill him.
He killed my uncle in front of me, He stabbed my ten-year-old nephew in the stomach, cut my legs off, and put a knife on my mother’s neck.”

“……..”

“That’s all I want.”

Roland’s tears rolled down the rug where he was lying face down.
Agnes looked at his trembling back.

“Get up”.

Roland raised his head.

“Can you swear complete obedience to me?”

“Yes.”

“Then I will pay you with Sebastian’s neck.”

Agnes said.
Roland’s face completely wet from tears raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

“Now I belong to you.
Master.”

* * *

– I need you to do something for me.

– Need something?

– Not long ago, there was a spy in the castle.
Can you find out how much information the king has on his side?

– Of course.
Master

Roland bowed politely and disappeared secretly as he did when he came.
The fickle attitude completely disappeared, and unquestionable anger and hatred flared up in his eyes.

Agnes looked into the intricately engraved patterns on the back of her hand.
She remembered Laslo wrapping a bandage over that hand.

The fact that Zoltan shed his intestines and died and a lot of people threw their life for her.  She also can’t forget the moment Laslo’s arm was caught on a pole.

“Sebastian”

Agnes muttered the name as if savoring it.
She imagined his half-brother’s severed head.

The day when I can tear you apart and kill you with my own hands is getting closer
