[Kweeeeeeek]
The beast flapped its wings and let out a high and long moan. In response to the cry of the other flying monsters flying towards the golden palace.
[Keeeeeek!]
It was a terrible, destructive roar.
The main palace of Nirseg, which had not suffered a single invasion in the past several hundred years, was falling apart helplessly. A cold brush passed Agnes’ cheeks, but she didn’t budge.
“If father had seen this, he would have opened the coffin and run out.”
It was a mess below her feet. Since there are no troops left in the palace, it is helpless. Agnes knew that Sebastian had sent all the standing troops south, leaving only a few knights.
She also knew that he faced fierce opposition from his subjects when he made the decision, but he ignored their opinions and pushed ahead with it.
A forced war, an epidemic that engulfed the country, and the beasts attacking the capital.
When a series of misfortunes comes, people will need something to blame. Agnes, who watched the situation in the sky for hours, pointed down.
[Let’s go down]
Now, all it takes is an ominous and hideous rumor. Agnes changed direction and attempted to descend to a deserted place outside the palace. The beast leaned over to help Agnes get off.
[Now slowly get out of the palace with your group.]
[Kweeeek! Yes.]
Soon, the beast spread its wings wide and flew back into the sky.
Agnes came out of the alley with her cloak covering her and was surprised to see the figure waiting in front of her.
“Since when were you there?”
“From the moment the Duchess came down from that beast.”
Erica’s voice was calm, but her face was covered with excitement.
“You said you’d take advantage of the chaos in the palace to run away, but you didn’t say you would control the beast to create chaos.”
“Hmm.”
Agnes avoided answering with an awkward smile.
“I’ll explain it to you later. What about the carriage?”
“It’s ready. Come this way.”
As they left the deserted alley, she saw a street full of confusion. The north gate collapsed because of the beasts and the palace is being attacked. It was strange to be calm. The two women were caught between them and hurried on their steps.
“What about the decoys?”
“I already spread about 20 people in bars and inns.”
“All right, rumors don’t have to be blatant. It’s enough to make them wonder who was responsible for this.”
Who is responsible for this endless misery?
It was important who the arrow of the question went to. Erica’s carriage was not far from the alley. Erica stood in front of the carriage door as she tried to open it.
“Well, I have something to tell you before I open the door.”
“What is it?”
“I really tried my best to persuade him. Even Count Dentarike begged him…….”
“Hmm?”
The carriage door, which had not been opened, burst open. When she looked inside, there was an unsurprising figure sitting down.
“……didn’t I tell you to leave the capital?”
“I told him earnestly. He has to leave the Capital but your Excellency is really stubborn.”
“Do I not know that?”
“Agnes.”
Laslo got out of the carriage. Agnes looked up at him still. He spoke first.
“Did you get hurt?”
“No, but I’m sure I told you to leave, ha. But you did not.”
His stubbornness is not unexpected. Unable to delay any longer, she took Laslo’s hand and got into the carriage.
“Then I’ll be on my way. Please arrive safely in Sutmar.”
“Great job.”
Erica looked at the two people and soon bowed and disappeared.
“What about the knights?”
“We’re meeting over the south gate.”
The carriage started to move. Short questions and answers filled the space and soon faded. Contrary to Agnes’ expectations that he would ask a lot of questions, Laslo was strangely silent.
They soon arrived at the south gate. The knights of Sutmar, who were waiting, recognized the carriage and followed quietly.
“Why aren’t you asking me anything?”
“Agnes.”
Laslo spoke quietly, holding his forehead.
“I don’t know you.”
“What?”
“We haven’t been together for a long time, but we still love each other and we even took the oath ceremony, but I feel unfamiliar to you.”
“That’s….”
“Come to think of it, I really don’t know anything about you. What do you really want, what is your goal in life, what do you think about the royal family?”
Agnes somehow got emotional in the corner of her heart in his calm, muddy tone.
“I was going to tell you everything. But the duke didn’t believe that I came back from the past.”
“Yes, that’s right. It’s my fault I didn’t believe you right away. But what about the rest of the story? What about rebellion or the beast? When were you gonna tell me about it?”
“I was going to tell you everything that day. But I didn’t have enough time…….”
Agnes blurted out the end of her speech. It felt like an excuse even to her. An unbreakable silence filled the carriage.
“Is that so?”
Laslo shut his mouth after that. Agnes also said nothing until the carriage arrived at the village.
“We’ve arrived. My lord.”
The inn was old and shabby, but it was manageable enough to stay for a day or so. Agnes, with the help of a maid working at the inn, washed herself and returned to the bedroom.
The bed was empty. She tried to ask the maid where Laslo was, but she held it in.
‘You’re the one who didn’t believe me.’
She lay on the bed and tucked herself in the blanket. It was late at night, but instead of falling asleep, her mind wandered somewhere. She felt angry and then resentful, then anxious and then engulfed in nervousness, so she got out of the bed.
She wore a thick robe and opened the door. The knight guarding the door asked.
“Do you need anything?”
“What about Laslo?”
“He’s downstairs talking to the knights.”
“But it’s already late at night”
Then the knight smiled vaguely and replied yes. It seemed like he was avoiding her, so the anger she had been pressing down came up slowly.
Agnes passed the knight and went downstairs. She could see five or six knights and Laslo having a conversation under the light of the light sphere.
“What’s the matter?”
“It’s late, but you didn’t come back.”
“I was discussing our future journey with the knights. It’s late at night, so go to bed first.”
Normally, Agnes would try to convince him and go to bed first. However, the complaints and anxieties accumulated since the day exploded all at once.
“We need to talk.”
“Now?”
“Yes, right now.”
Agnes strode and grabbed Laslo’s arm hard. The knights, who noticed the mood of the duke couple was unusual, turned their heads around awkwardly. Laslo said to the knights with a light sigh.
“Let’s talk about it tomorrow.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Laslo and Agnes went up to the bedroom. Only after the door was closed did Laslo speak.
“What’s the matter?”
“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about the rebellion or the beast in advance. But I was going to tell you that, I mean it.”
“Agnes, let’s talk about that tomorrow.”
“No. Let’s do it now. What’s the difference between tomorrow and today? If you’re angry with me or upset about anything, please release it today.”
Agnes said firmly. Laslo looked at her quietly and said,
“Do you remember the day after you were strangled by the king, I entered the palace alone?”
“I remember.”
“I made a deal with the king that day. If I go to war myself, he won’t call you back to the palace.”
“What? That’s the only reason?”
Agnes jumped up and down. Laslo smiled bitterly.
“I thought I could protect you then. I never thought I’d bring you into the palace as bait.”
“Sebastian is a good politician and manipulative man. He’s not a man who values faithfulness like you.”
“Yeah, I was stupid. I wish I had told you earlier.”
He muttered to himself. Agnes reached out first.
“……Laslo.”
“Why did we hide these important things from each other?”
Agnes clapped her lips and then closed them. Laslo swept his hair down roughly.
“I’m not mad at you. I, I’m angry that I didn’t know anything about you.”
“…….”
“Why didn’t I ask you earlier? Why didn’t I notice? I even felt unfamiliar to you, maybe because you don’t trust me that much.”
“It’s not because I don’t trust you!”
Agnes clasped his hand in a hurry.
“At first, I was confused too. I was obviously being chased by Sebastian’s people, but when I woke up, it was the first night of our honeymoon.”
“The first night?”
“Yeah. Do you remember? I burst into tears when I saw you.”
“I thought it was because you were nervous.”
“I still remember Sebastian tearing your limbs apart and hanging them on a pole.”
Agnes clenched her fist and exhaled heavily.
“Estar collapsed and you were caught on a pole with your limbs torn apart. Sir Zoltan also died defending me.”
“…….”
“But when I woke up, I was back on our first night three years ago. Everything was confusing whether what I went through was true or a dream. I couldn’t believe it either, so I thought you wouldn’t believe it if I told you.”
“Do you not remember how you came back?”
“I didn’t know that back then. But I realized it after I met Eugene.”
“Eugene?”
Laslo frowned at the mention of the name.
“Yeah, Eugene isn’t just a wizard. He’s a sealed dragon and I signed a contract with him with my soul as collateral.”
“Wait, what? A dragon? A dragon from a fairy tale?”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
