CHAPTER 37
“Why all of a sudden? The princess is not interested in the throne at all.”
“Yes I am.”
“But now it’s usurping. Why do you want to choose such a difficult path?”
Roland doesn’t seem to understand her at all.
Rather, it would have had a much greater chance of success if she had jumped into the struggle for the throne from the beginning.
“Do you know why I’m not dead like Vivian? Why didn’t I become disabled like Chavolti?”
Agnes continued her words with a very soft smile.
“Because Sebastian left it like that. It’s a funny thing to say. It means I’m not the one who controls my life.”
Agnes’ eyes shone and her speaking voice gained strength.
“I don’t want to live like that anymore. I’m sick and tired of life where I’m always convinced that he’ll kill me and shiver in fear while looking at Sebastian’s countenance.”
Roland’s face distorted more strangely than before. After wiping his face dry, he said in a harsh voice.
“Do you mean that you are telling me this to join the usurpation?”
“No.”
“No?”
“I just told you my secret and I know a secret about you. This would be fair to each other.”
Roland can’t understand her at all.
If he runs to the king and confesses this, Sebastian will kill his youngest sister without any hesitation.
She talks so casually about such a terrifying fact that I don’t know whether to believe it or not.
“Then I’ll go back now.”
As Agnes got up from her seat and prepared to go out, Roland also got up.
“I think I said everything I had to say. Is there anything else you’re curious about?”
“You’re just going to leave like this?”
Roland asked, puzzled.
“Aren’t you here to threaten me?”
“Threaten you. How could you say such a thing? Do I look like a person who will do that?”
Agnes acted sly and waved her hands.
“I just gave you a choice. What to choose is a matter for you to think about.”
She passed Roland and walked to the door. After she grabbed the doorknob and tried to get out, she turned around and called him.
“Sir Roland.”
“Yes.”
He replied with an annoyed expression.
“I’m going back to Sutmar in five days, so organize what I asked and bring it in three days.”
“…okay.Duchess.”
She heard him grinding his teeth behind her, but she ignored it and left.
Agnes first visited Laslo after returning to the townhouse.
“What about the Duke?”
“He’s in the office.”
The maid answered politely. Agnes handed over the hat to the maid to take it off and headed to the office at a quick pace.
“Duke Arpad!”
“Huh? Princess. Have you been there already?”
Laslo who’s looking at the documents looked up. She ran flying at him and shouted.
“Hug me!”
“Ahmmm.”
He coughed roughly in vain.
Agnes approached the desk where he was sitting and quickly opened her arms.
“Why all of a sudden……?”
Laslo’s face heated up a little.
“I did something very big today.”
She explained with a serious face. This is a big deal because we have a bait to bring Sandor over here.
“Oh, really”.
The man who doesn’t know what it is, had a puzzled look.
“So, I deserve to be praised.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she waved her open arms as if rushing.
“So, compliment me. Hug me.”
“Is this a compliment?”
Laslo still didn’t seem to know what it was, but he got up from his seat and approached Agnes.
“It’s a compliment. For me.”
It’s a compliment that only Laslo can give.
At Agnes’s coercion and urge, he stood in front of her pretending he couldn’t win. And he spread his arms and hugged Agnes.
Their warm body and chest touched.
Agnes also wrapped her arms around his back. She felt soft and fuzzy.
“Good job, princess.”
He spoke in a low voice. Their body was attached, so she could feel the tremor when he spoke.
“Don’t worry about anything Duke.”
Agnes said quite confidently. Laslo only smiled.
“Don’t overdo it.”
“It’s not too much.”
She buried her head in Laslo’s arms.
I don’t know why the touch of gently sweeping my back feels so good.
Agnes was very willing to hear his quiet voice.
Laslo just hugged the princess with all his might without asking.
* * *
Roland appeared on the exact third day.
“Oh, this time, it’s Sir Roland.”
A silver-haired handsome man frowned tightly and put down thick documents in front of her.
“This is the data you mentioned.”
“How can I pay for it?”
“No need.”
He responded bluntly.
Agnes carefully examined the documents. There is quite a lot of content, so it will take quite a while to look at it.
“You’ve learned quite a bit in three days. Good job. You can go now.”
Roland’s face was distorted as she shook her hand, unable to take her eyes off the paper.
“Princess.”
“Duchess.”
Agnes corrected him.
“Duchess, is there anything else you want to say to me?”
“There isn’t.”
“No? Really?”
Roland persistently asked. Agnes put down the documents she was looking at and turned to him.
“If you have anything you want to say, say it.”
“When are you going to do it?”
“What?”
“You know what? That thing.”
He asked carefully, lowering his voice to the fullest.
“That? Oh, usurpation?”
“Why is it so… Wait a minute!”
Early on, the servant went back, but he made all kinds of fuss and looked around without ease.
“I don’t know why you’re so calm. The mere word makes my heart flutter.”
“Is the wall too thin?”
Agnes rather rattled her tongue.
“Is the wall important now? It’s a matter of death.”
“Oh? Will you risk your life here?”
“When did I say I’d risk it? I just said it was a problem.”
He quickly changed his words, pushing himself back. Agnes laughed out loud.
“But why do you ask that? Are you interested?”
The tone was so light that Roland was confused at the moment about what topic she was asking.
“I’m not interested. Sigh, crap. Do you know how many sleepless nights I had after hearing that?”
“That’s why you don’t look so good today.”
Agnes muttered in a relaxed tone and sipped the tea.
Roland, who was in front of her, felt like his heart was about to burst at her relaxed attitude.
“Why are you doing this to me? What did I do wrong to the duchess?”
His identity was revealed, so it was as if he had been caught by a leash.
As Agnes said, if Sebastian finds out about this, he cannot be left alone.
However, he was afraid of the word usurpation to completely turn to Agnes.
He didn’t know what to do, so he couldn’t sleep well for nearly three days. Even when he opens his eyes, his mind is so complicated.
“I’ve done everything to survive under Sebastian, but now……”
He let out a painful sigh. It looked so bad to see him sweep his hair roughly with both hands.
“Then live like that.”
Roland raised his head. Agnes looked at him with a rather cold face.
“Live under Sebastian, stumbling around and having fun with your stupid cousin.”
“But duchess…”
“I promise. On the honor of the royal family. I won’t reveal your identity to Sebastian.”
“……”
He shut his mouth. He got the answer he wanted, but more complex emotions passed by than relief.
“Do you feel relieved now?”
It wasn’t a mocking tone, but Roland felt like she was laughing at him.
He looked Agnes in the eyes, clenching his fist tightly.
“Do you know how many people Sebastian killed?”
“I know it’s beyond count.”
Agnes knows the harsh personality of her older brother better than anyone else.
If he thinks it will be harmful to him, he will remove it right away no matter who it is.
“I’ve been watching him kill people since I was young. I thought it would get better over time, but it got worse. That’s why I made Alexandra. I wanted to make a hole in his flesh somehow.”
Roland’s voice was filled with sincerity.
Sebastian was a man who did not know mercy.
The aristocrats who did not know him well vowed loyalty, easily falling for his charisma.
However, Roland clearly watched what kind of end they faced.
“Can you guarantee that I can live by holding the hand of the duchess?”
“All I can guarantee is that one day you will be killed by Sebastian.”
Her eyes were full of confidence. What in the world makes her so confident?
Instead of asking why, Roland bit his lips.
“Give me time to think.”
“Take as much as you need. It’s a matter of life at stake, so you have to be careful.”
Agnes giggled out of context.
“I’m going back.”
She shook her hand and picked up the documents he had brought. Roland left with a complex and subtle look.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
