“How could I have a distasteful heart towards your highness?”
Agnes looked up and did her best to smile at him.
On the other hand, a smile disappeared from Sebastian’s face.
“Then prove your loyalty.”
He lifted the sword up very slowly. Agnes did not avoid Sebastian’s eyes.
Her hand had just been halfway down towards her.
‘Piyuung’
An arrow crossed Sebastian’s nose and flew into a tree.
Agnes and Sebastian’s heads turned at the same time.
“I’m sorry, your highness.”
Laslo lowered his bow and said.
“I missed the assassin because of my poor bowing skills.”
He looked more terrifying than ever.
Sebastian lifted his sword with a smile.
“You surprised me, Duke Arpad.”
Laslo walked silently and stood in front of Agnes.
“How about your escorts, why are you here alone?”
“Oh, I’ll be right back. I wanted to talk to Agnes about something, so I asked them to leave for a while.”
Just in time, the king’s knight approached through the bushes.
“Are you done talking?”
Said Laslo.
It was a rather rude tone that should not be used to the king.
Sebastian’s eyebrows were twitching, but he did not point out his attitude.
“Yes. You can take her.”
He hung the sword back on the side.
Laslo bowed his head with a blunt face, grabbed Agnes’ hand and walked to the place where the horse was tied.
Sebastian’s stinging gaze was felt from the back of his head.
“Duke, why did you shoot an arrow at the king?”
Agnes lowered her voice and whispered to him.
“I missed his head because my hand slipped. I’m sorry.”
She looked at his face in surprise.
It’s a ridiculously serious tone. I can’t see the energy of jokes anywhere.
Laslo helped Agnes ride the horse without any other excuse and climbed up behind her.
“Was it always like that?”
“Huh?”
“Does the king always act like that to you?”
“Of course, always.”
Perhaps if Laslo hadn’t fired an arrow, Sebastian would have stabbed Agnes anywhere.
Agnes was able to live with it.
“Really?”
Agnes didn’t know how scary Laslo’s face was because she was in front of him.
“Who is behind it?”
Agnes relaxed her body and leaned her back against his chest. Laslo flinched a little.
“You mean the assassins?”
“There’s no way Sebastian would leave those who rebelled against him.”
“You’re right.”
His low and serious voice was heard above her head.
“He is overly organized and has excellent swordsmanship skills. It’s not just a bluff.”
“Then?”
“I’m suspecting the king.”
Agnes was surprised by what he said, but not at the same time.
“They are professionally trained people, but it’s not enough to say that they’re gathered to kill the king. They pretended to kill the king, but I can’t erase the possibility that you’re the target.”
“The duchess, who went to the hunting grounds with the king, unfortunately died by the assassin’s sword.”
Agnes was blown away. Instead of answering her words, Laslo let out a small sigh.
“In addition to that, he has a history.”
I realized that the history he was talking about was the assassins who broke into the townhouse.
“Let’s go back to the territory as soon as possible. I didn’t think much about bringing more knights.”
“Should we make a bet, Duke?”
“What kind of bet?”
“The king will call me to the palace tomorrow.”
Unfortunately, Agnes’ prediction was correct.
* * *
“Sit down.”
Sebastian pointed at the seat in front of me.
Agnes bowed and sat in the chair. The maid walked quickly and poured tea into the empty glass.
“How are you feeling?”
“I was a little surprised, but I’m okay.”
“I’m glad you didn’t get seriously injured.”
Actually, she was.
Beyond the dress, Agnes’ body was full of bruises.
It was so severe that Ney, who was helping her change, burst into tears when she saw it.
– I’ll tell the lord right away.
– Don’t tell the Duke.
– What? Why?
– If he knows this, he won’t let me go to the palace.
“By the way, it seems that Duke Arpad cares about you quite a lot.”
“He is an upright person, so all he does is show courtesy to those he knows.”
“Yeah? It seems to me that his affection for you is so strong that he dares to kill the king.”
His voice was peaceful, but not his eyes.
“Please forgive Duke Arpad’s disrespect with a broad and deep heart. Your Majesty.”
Agnes jumped up from her seat and stood next to the chair and bowed deeply.
“Forgive me.”
Sebastian put her chin on the table and looked gently at Agnes.
The tea has cooled down.
The king didn’t say anything.
Agnes had to keep her back down because she was not ordered to raise her head.
“Come here.”
She carefully walked two steps toward Sebastian.
“Closer.”
Agnes was still bending her back.
When the gap between the siblings became very narrow, Sebastian suddenly grabbed Agnes’ chin.
“Your only strength is that you are afraid and weak.”
“There’s still a lot.”
“But, since when did you look me in the eye?”
I tried to lower my eyes, but Sebastian was a little faster.
“Agnes.”
The hand holding the chin went down. He grabbed his sister’s neck casually and strongly.
“Gasp.”
“Should I trust you?”
Instead of words, a moan came out. The hand that moved its neck became more and more tense.
“Say it.”
She was out of breath. Agnes clenched her fist tightly so as not to unwittingly shake the hand of the king.
“Should I keep you alive?”
Unlike the peaceful Sebastian, her face was distorted by pain over time.
“I, huh, I…….”
As Agnes continued to stutter saying something, Sebastian loosened his grip.
“You?”
“All I want is a peaceful life with the Duke.”
My voice turned low and rough because of my aching throat.
“If you order, I will never come out of Sutmar. I will live like dead without having an exchange with anyone.”
“Really?”
He just smiled and didn’t say anything.
“Get out of my way.”
Agnes only then straightened up her bent body.
As I was leaving the last room, I heard Sebastian’s voice behind my back.
“It’s very lonely without you, so stop by the palace tomorrow as well.”
“…Yes, your highness.”
* * *
“Is it cold?”
Laslo looked down at Agnes sitting across the table.
“Hmm? Why?”
“It’s the middle of summer, but you’re wearing a dress that comes up to your neck.”
“Ahhh.”
This is because I changed my clothes as soon as I came back to hide my bruised neck because of Sebastian.
Of course, when Ney saw the red handprints on her neck, she ran all over the place.
“I think the mansion is a little cool.”
“Do you have a cold or something? Should I call a doctor?”
“It’s not that bad.”
When Agnes smiled awkwardly and waved her hand, Laslo went over it smoothly.
“How was it going to the palace today?”
“We only talked about trivial things.”
I got a sore throat from talking for a long time.
Agnes deliberately finished her meal quickly and got up from her seat.
“Already?”
“I don’t have an appetite because it’s hot.”
“You said the mansion was cold earlier.”
“Hmm.”
I was impatient, so I made a slip of the tongue. Agnes hurriedly walked to the other side to avoid his gaze.
“I have to go to the palace tomorrow, so I’ll sleep first.”
“Wait a minute.”
Laslo noticed a strange sign and jumped out of his chair and strode toward Agnes.
“Agnes. You’ve been weird since earlier.”
“Ugh.”
When he grabbed her arm, Agnes unknowingly groaned weakly. The place he caught was a place where the bruise was.
Laslo’s face hardened as if he had noticed something.
He snatched her hand and opened the door of the dining room.
“Wait. Where are we going?”
“Bedroom.”
“Why are we going there all of a sudden?”
Laslo didn’t say anything until he opened the bedroom door.
“Master.”
The maid, who was waiting in the room, bowed her head in surprise when she saw two people coming in.
“Get out.”
His voice was so low that the maids walked out of the bedroom without asking twice.
The door was closed and only two were left.

“What’s wrong with you?”
“Take off your clothes.”
“What?”
Agnes looked at him in surprise.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
