CHAPTER 24

“Well, princess, I’ll ask you to call me Roland instead of such a hard name. Do we have a formal relationship?”

Agnes frowned without realizing it.

“You can call me by my right name. I’m now the Duchess of Arpad.”

“But a princess is a princess, right? And it looks too long and unfriendly. I’ll just call you princess.”

As I was listening to him, I raised one corner of my mouth.

“Yeah? Then do that. You can do anything you want to do, but you’re a person who can’t get out of character. Keep calling me princess.”

“Thank you, princess.”

He smiled brightly. He seems to have no idea that I am being sarcastic.

No matter how much I think about it, I don’t know why Sebastian killed Roland.

I’ve heard people say that he’s naive and stupid, but was he really building up power without Sebastian’s knowledge?

“What did you say you were studying at Leana?”

Chavolti warned him to stop talking to him, but Agnes ignored it.

“I’m doing the same thing. Like literature in the era of light.”

“What do you mean it’s the same thing?”

“Ah, I’m really sick of it. My father liked Linggrant so much that he sent me to that school, but they all bore me so much.”

“Do you have any achievements?”

“What’s there to accomplish? I’m learning it as a hobby. Oh, speaking of my hobby, I have a hobby of collecting sparkling things.”

Roland suddenly rambled on with words that she didn’t even ask.

“Princess, I brought a bird from Leana. Do you want to come and see? This bird is really pretty. I even named it. It’s Mimi! You’ll be surprised to see how shiny the feathers are!”

Roland smiled surprisingly bright and sat there for about a dozen minutes or so and talked about the bird he brought from Leana.

What kind of person is this? There must have been a different reason.

Agnes shook her head inwardly.

How on earth did Roland secretly develop his power?

Perhaps in the past, he died because he irritated Sebastian’s eyes.

She came to a reasonable conclusion in her own way.

‘If I use this well, I may be able to coax the marquis of Sandor to my side.’

While Agnes was racking her brain, Laslo brought a glass of water.

“Princess, I brought water here.”

“Oh? Are you Duke Arpad?”

Roland focused his attention on the new character.

“What about you?”

“It’s Roland Sandor. Sir Duke, you can call me Roland comfortably.”

“Roland Sandor? Are you Marquis Sandor’s son?”

Roland replied with a smile. He was exceptionally bright as a cousin who grew up close to Sebastian.

There was not much time to share.

“Duchess of Arpad.”

When he came, the servant quietly approached and bowed his head.

“Dinner is ready.”

***

“How long has it been since we’ve all gathered together?”

At the top of the long table was Sebastian and the Queen, and a little away, the Duchess of Arpad and the Marquis Bezel and his wife sat side by side.

Agnes’ mother, the predecessor queen, is laying in bed because she is not feeling well..

“That’s right .”

Chavolti replied somewhat bluntly.

Sophia smiled slightly and said, “Thanks to your highness, we gathered like this.”

Laslo also answered the king’s sparse question.

Agnes was the only one who closed her mouth and quietly focused on the meal.

A precious mushroom dish came out in the middle of the meal.

“Agnes. It’s your favorite mushroom.”

“Thank you. Your Highness.”

The servant placed the mushrooms on her plate. Chavollti’s face distorted as he sat across from her and saw it.

Agnes silently cut and ate the mushrooms.

“It seems that Father sent you away on your own. Why don’t you come up to the capital from time to time and light up your face?”

“I’m already married in the west, it won’t look good to see a married princess coming and going in and out of the palace. For the time being, I will work hard to gain  knowledge in our land.”

Agnes lowered her body and answered politely.

“Yeah. You’re right. You’re now the hostess of a family…… but you are still young in my eyes.”

Sebastian smiled satisfactorily and stared at Agnes.

The atmosphere was sweet all along as the king smiled softly and took care of the royal family.

The dinner lasted for two hours.

The king was regretful about parting with Agnes and asked her to see him again before going back to the territory.

Agnes replied with an expressionless face that she would do so.

She walked faster than usual and left the dinner table.

Chavolti, who followed, called in his servant and stayed quietly.

“Put a doctor on standby in the mansion.”

“Yes, master.”

Laslo boarded the carriage he rode with Agnes.

Agnes, who was walking with flowers on her back, took a deep breath as the carriage door closed.

“Give me your hand.”

“Huh?”

“Please lend me your hand.”

She held Laslo’s big hand tightly.

Seeing that Laslo had a cute grip, she felt less worried.

Laslo was trying to ask something, but Agnes’ face was so bad that he just gave up his hand and stood by silently.

The palace and Chavolti’s mansion were only about 20 minutes away by carriage, so we arrived quickly.

Agnes got off as soon as the carriage door was opened.

“I’ll go in first.”

“Wait, princess?”

Laslo watched Agnes running to the mansion with an absurd face.

It wasn’t like usual.

Soon after, the Marquis of Bezel got off the carriage.

“What about Agnes?”

Chavolti asked Laslo, who was standing at a distance.

“She went inside first. I couldn’t ask because I thought something urgent happened.”

“……”

“The Princess, Is she okay?”

Sophia put her hands together with a worried face. She stood next to Chavolti and sighed a little.

“What does that mean?”

“Master, I called a doctor.”

The butler approached when he came and told Shabolti.

“Send it to Agnes’ room.”

“To the princess’ room? Hang on. What’s going on? Is the princess sick?”

Laslo was confused because he did not understand the situation.

“She had a meal with Sebastian face to face. I’m sure she’s throwing up everything she ate.”

“What?”

Surprised Laslo rushed to the mansion, Chavolti blocked him.

“It’s no use going now. She’s not even going to let you in. Sophia.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll go, Chavolti.”

“Thank you.”

Chavolti smiled briefly and sent his wife first.

“I’ll go, too. I can’t stay still when the princess is sick.”

“I called the Doctor, and Sophia and the maid will take care of it on their own. More than that, let’s talk Duke”

“Are you in a hurry?”

He was bothered by Agnes, who ran with a pale face. Laslo kept glancing toward the mansion and asked.

“I’ll tell you why she is so sick. Don’t talk and follow me.”

Chavolti pointed to the garden with his chin. The servant pushed the wheelchair on which Chavolti was sitting from behind.

Laslo took turns looking at the mansion and Chavolti, but eventually followed him.

“Can you drink?”

The sunset garden was not very dark because there were lights in several places.

Chavolti poured alcohol into an empty glass himself.

“Not as much as a princess.”

“She’s a drinker. There’s no one who can beat Agnes with alcohol in the palace.”

He smiled and put down the bottle.

“I used to joke about how well she drank, because it was clear that alcohol was flowing in her veins instead of my mother’s blood.”

Laslo looked at the half-filled glass and moistened his mouth.

“Why is the princess……”

“Do you know how Vivienne died?”

He cut his words off then brought up a random subject.

“Vivian? Are you talking about Princess Vivian?”

“Yes. Sebastian’s sister. Vivian.”

Chavolti muttered Vivian’s name as if recalling old memories.

“I heard her chronic disease worsened and died.”

That was already six years ago. I clearly remember because it was around the time when Laslo succeeded the Duke.

“Sebastian poisoned her and killed her.”

Laslo was surprised and put down the glass. On the other hand, Chavolti’s face is so calm.

“It happened five times, too.”

“……”

“I don’t know whether Vivian, who overcame the poison four times, was great, or Sebastian, who poisoned her until she died.”

Chavolti said bitterly and emptied the glass at once.

Laslo lost his words and looked at Chavolti.

“Do you remember the mushrooms from the dinner?”

“Is that what the king recommended to the princess at dinner?”

That was the only mushroom dish that came out today.

“That’s the poisonous mushroom that Sebastian used to kill Vivian.”

“What?”

Laslo jumped up from his seat.

“Did the king poison the princess?”

My heart was pounding hard. He wanted to run to the mansion immediately and check her face.

“Sit down. Duke Arpad, it was probably a detoxified mushroom. Otherwise Agnes would have vomited blood on the spot and collapsed.”

“That kind of…”

“It’s just a test for Sebastian. Whether she accepts it like a dog or not.”
