Late that night, the commander-in-chief’s barracks were too quiet. Barania, sitting at the top of the table, opened her mouth after the long silence.
“Today’s damage situation is…”
“Less than four thousand are dead or injured. About two thousand people were taken prisoner. Among them, the unit that suffered the most damage was Kiske’s side.”
Milan promised that instead of her taking the vanguard, he would fill it with the men he had brought from his estate. Because the right wing was the first to fall, they lost a lot of troops.
“How’s the condition of Sir Milan?”
“His consciousness has not yet returned. The Doctor said that even if he wakes up, his left leg would probably be disabled for the rest of his life.”
Barania shook her head with a deep sigh. The knight, who was reporting, looked at her eyes and bit his lips.
The eldest son, the successor, is now unable to use his legs and lost most of the troops he brought. If the Marquis Kiske would learn this fact, he won’t be able to stand still.
“Anything else to report?”
“Recently, mild diarrhea seems to be circulating among the soldiers, but according to the Doctors, it is not a big deal.”
“Okay. Got it. You can now go.”
* * *
“Why do you look like that, madam?”
“It is nothing.”
Ney tilted her head as she poured the tea. Agnes’s face as she looked at the letter was unsettling.
“Go and call Miss Adrienne now.”
“Yes. All right.”
The maid left her room without a word. Agnes read the letter that had just arrived from the battlefield once again.
{……There is diarrhea in the barracks. I remember what you said, so I’m trying to clean my body more often with soap.
P.s. Matron committed suicide yesterday morning. In the end, I couldn’t find out anything.}
“Did you call?”
When Adrienne came, she politely put her hands together and stood there.
“How far has the plague research gone?”
“There’s not much progress in what I’ve reported before.”
“What did you say was the initial symptom of a plague?
“Colds and diarrhea.”
Adrienne answered smoothly. Agnes’ face became stiff. She hid the sign of nervousness and spoke.
“They say there is diarrhea on the southeastern front.”
“Hmm. But diarrhea is a common symptom, so it’s hard to diagnose if it is a plague.”
“I know, but even if it’s hard, I hope you’ll do your best to study the plague.”
“I’ll do that.”
After Adrienne left, the maid brought a paper and a pen. Agnes fell into agony with a cold tea in front of her.
‘It’s finally starting.’
Diarrhea, chills, rash, and swelling in the groin and armpits. The smell of death that Agnes smelled in the past came out.
‘There’s no way to completely stop it….’
Adrienne has been instructed to study the plague, but there is no great expectation that she will find a cure. She knew it well that she was hanging on to a small hope. Her only concern right now is Laslo’s well-being.
Thinking of him in the middle of war and plague, she couldn’t sleep at night realizing how much she loved him.
It was painful.
“Please, please…….”
Agnes prayed to God who she did not believe in with her eyes closed and hands together.
“Don’t take him away from me.”
After she had finished her earnest prayer, she opened her eyes. The blue eyes, which had been wet with water, had suddenly changed firmly.
{Matron committed suicide early in the morning last night. I couldn’t find out anything.}
The last sentence in the letter from Laslo was on her mind.
The identity of the spy is still unknown. Making traps and bait just like what they did to Matron is useless.
After a few days of struggling and contemplating,
Those who met those conditions had the probability of being a spy.
Among those who met all of the above conditions, Niall was the first to come to her mind.
Niall, it’s Niall.
“Madam. Reika asked if you could eat together. What should I do?”
“The archmage?”
While she was suffering alone with her complicated mind, a servant approached and asked. When she looked out the window and the sun was setting.
“Say okay.”
She wanted to eat quietly alone, but as Andrassy said, shd needed to please her for the time being.
Agnes went down to the dining room with her servant. Reika, who received the call, was waiting first.
“Duchess!”
Agnes can’t ever get used to her lively pink hair, so she forced herself to smile.
“Did you experience any inconvenience in your stay here?”
“Well, it’s not bad.”
Reika spoke in a coy manner. Her face is brighter than before, perhaps thanks to Andrassy’s hard work and dedication.
“If you need more mana stones, feel free to take more. If there’s anything else you need, don’t hesitate to ask me.”
“Hmm.”
Reika stared intently at Agnes as she ate her salad.
“What are you looking at?”
“What’s the problem?”
“Hmm?”

“It’s written on your face. You have worries.”
Agnes didn’t expect she would ask her this because whenever Reika opens her mouth, she always brags about herself. Agnes hesitated for a while and soon shook her head.
“…it’s not a big deal.”
“So, what’s not that big of a deal?”
“I don’t think it’s something we can talk about here.”
Agnes looked around her and said softly. Then Reika swung her own finger around her hand to her left and right.
“Now, you can say it now. The conversation between the two of us will not go outside.”
“…….”
“Tell me quickly. Is it because you’re worried that I won’t stay? Ha, it’s because of my popularity.”
“Well. There is a spy in the castle, but I have no idea who it is.”
At least Reika isn’t a spy. Agnes confided her troubles inside.
“Spy? Like the rat I caught back then?”
“No. It was an assassin back then. I think he’s been in the castle for a very long time. That’s why I don’t know anymore.”
“What? Was it just that kind of problem?”
Reika, who was still listening, leaned back as if she had lost interest. Agnes was furious.
“Do you know how important this is? I don’t know who to trust, so I can’t do anything or say anything.”
“Oh, my. I see. Okay. You can trust me. Whew. What should I do?”
“Catch it? Do you have any spy-finding magic?”
This time, Agnes leaned forward to Reika. Reika smiled confidently as she always does.
“Do you know how many spies are trying to steal mana stones from the magic tower? It’s my daily routine to catch a rat every day.”
“… Can you really catch it?”
“Yes. Because I can do it.”
“Archmage. You are the only one I can trust in this castle.”
It’s not yet clear if Reika can really catch the spy, but for the first time, she felt reassured. Then the Archmage twitched her lips and bragged about herself for a long time. Agnes listened quietly to that time and responded.
* * *
It was a long day.
After she explained the situation in detail to Reika, the time to sleep quickly passed. Agnes changed her clothes to go to bed, but the bedroom was too dark as the lights were off.
“Ney. Turn on the light. I can’t see.”
However, there was no reply from the surrounding area to the extent that it felt chilly.
“Ney?”
“Help me out. Agnes.”
“Why don’t you change the way you pop out a bit? Eugene.”
Now she’s not surprised that he’s popping out like this. Agnes sighed and turned on the light herself.
“What’s going on this time?”
“I need your blood.”
Eugene’s figure hidden in the dark was revealed.
Eugene held out his hand. It was so imposing that Agnes almost inadvertently held out her hand.
“Is it to unlock the seal?”
“Well, somehow.”
He approached carelessly and snatched her arm. Agnes frowned at the forceful grip.
“How much do you need?”
“Hmm? 5 minutes?”
“Five minutes? No way!”
Eugene’s fangs digging deeply into her forearms felt intense. At the same time, blood began to drip through them.
“Oh! It hurts.”
“Hold it in for five minutes.”
Eugene said with his blood-stained lips.
“What is this?”
“I’ll give you something you want in return. Think about it in five minutes.”
He continued to suck her blood and drank it, leaving only those words. At first, she felt only the pain of biting the flesh.
Then she was just annoyed and angry towards Eugene. She hoped time would go by quickly whenever this person comes.
About three minutes later, she slowly remembered what she wanted.
‘Should I ask Eugene to find a spy?’
Four minutes have passed, and only one of her many wishes remained in her head, and the rest are gone
“Ugh. I think I’ll live a little.”
At exactly five minutes, Eugene opened her mouth. Unlike the first time, his face is flushed. Agnes, on the other hand, was in a mess. She had to take a deep breath several times because she felt nauseous and dizzy.
“Did you drink well?”
“Hmmm. If I had known this would happen, I should have drunk it sooner.”
“What about my wish?”
“Oh, tell me. I can listen to it as much as the blood you gave me.”
She hesitated for a moment and opened her mouth.
“…. I miss Laslo.”
It doesn’t matter if it’s a dream.
She’s sick and tired of seeing the barracks through the bird. It would be good to see him in a dream smiling and moving.
“Is that all? There’s nothing I can’t do. Tell me when you want to come back.”
“Hmm? It’s just a dream, so I just need to wake up…”
At that moment, her feet went numb. The light of the sphere and Eugene’s face disappeared at the same time. And when she opened her eyes again, she couldn’t believe what she saw.

“Agnes?”
Laslo was in front of her.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
