Chap 6. Dawn
“It’s really hot in the south.”
Ney, sitting next to the carriage, said while wiping her sweat with a handkerchief.
Agnes was exhausted by the heat and lost both the will and ability to speak.
She just opened the window, put her face on it, and let herself go with the wind.
“Oh, I guess we’re here!”
Ney made a fuss.
When I opened my eyes, I began to see a gray castle standing tall in the forests.
It was not until then that the knot of the dress that had been loosened was tightly tightened.
When the carriage completely stopped, the door opened from the outside.
Naturally, I thought the count’s butler had come to meet me, but an unexpected person stood.
“Welcome to Count Cellon. Duchess.”
Emmerich smiled and reached out his hand. Agnes grabbed his hand and got off the wagon.
“I can’t believe you’re welcoming me in person. Thank you Count.”
“Of course, a precious person will be here. I have to do that.”
The count skillfully escorted Agnes to the drawing room.
“I was surprised when I heard that you were coming.”
“Hmm. I’ve been interested in Rose Night since before.”
“Really?”
Emmerich smiled strangely. The maid prepared a tea and put it in front of Agnes.
I was a little surprised after taking a sip without thinking.
“Oh, this is…”
“It’s your favorite tea. I prepared it because I knew that you enjoy drinking it when you were in the palace.”
“You’re attentive. Thank you.”
“I ordered the servants not to give you any inconvenience in your stay here, but if you need anything, please let me know right away.”
“Yes.”
A very kind butler approached me and informed me that he had finished organizing her luggage.
“Do you want me to show you to your room?”
“You’re going to do it yourself? Is that necessary? You don’t have to.”
Agnes shook her hand. The butler took the lead instead.
“It’s the second best room in the castle. Duchess.”
As he said, it was a brilliant room.
The pillars and walls were full of gold and jewelry, making them very colorful.
“And these are the maids that will be attending the Duchess.”
Five maids came out and bowed politely.
“Five. That’s too much. I also have a maid I brought, so just leave two and take the others.”
“No, the master told me not to lack an inch in serving the duchess. If you don’t like them, I’ll bring another maid.”
“No, you don’t have to do that.”
Even when she was in the palace as a princess, there were about three maids who usually attended to her.
The butler showed no sign of resignation. Agnes was forced to accept.
“Okay. Let’s do that.”
Only then did the butler smile and bow and go out.
Ney muttered, pretending to tidy Agnes’ hair.
“Suspicious.”
“What?”
“The count.”
“Why is he?”
“I think he’s up to something.”
“What something?”
“His eyes look very strange. Even when we were in the palace, he had a very strange look at Madam.…”
“Come on.”
Agnes snorted.
“Stop talking nonsense and help me change my clothes. I can’t breathe because it’s hot.”
Ney was furious and said a few more words, but Agnes ignored it.
At night, lights lit all over the castle.
The night of roses continued for almost five days, so the interior of the castle was noisy every night.
Agnes took about two days off due to the fatigue of her trip and attended a party at the castle.
“The Duchess of Arpad is entering.”
Some people were familiar and the others were not.
Within a few steps, Emmerich approached quickly.
“If you asked for an escort, I would have gone.”
“Me and the Count?”
Agnes was purely curious.
When a married woman is escorted at a party, the only partner she can have is her husband or her brother.
“Why would you escort me?”
“That’s my overflowing favor.”
“I will refuse the favor so that there is no misunderstanding.”
“Who would misunderstand us?”
The way he spoke was subtle. Agnes looked up at Emerich.
I said I know him but actually I only saw him a few times when I was with Chavolti.
“You mean it.”
“Yes.”
Emmerich smiled lightly..
He was a typical southern handsome man, of which dark brown eyes stood out the most.
Overall, it was a soft and gentle impression.
Wherever I looked, he didn’t look like a person who had been smuggling and trafficking for years and had internal communication with the pirate king.
“It’s nothing.”
Agnes, who spoke on impulse, just swallowed the words.
Emmerich did not ask what it was. Instead, he asked the servant to bring alcohol.
“I heard you drink better than Prince Chavolti.”
He handed over the drink to her and said,
”Chavolti can’t drink.”
”Haha. Next time, would you like to drink with me? I want to serve you the famous drink in the south.”
”Hmm?”
I can’t believe the opportunity to talk to you alone came so quickly.
Agnes called pleasure to herself.
“Hmm. Well, if the count wants to.”
“When are you free?”
“I’m here to play. I’m going to match the time of the busy person.”
“I can’t tomorrow because I have an appointment with another guest. How about the day after tomorrow?”
“Good, good.”
Agnes smiled and nodded.
There were several people around who visited Emmerich.
But he stood by Agnes for quite some time.
“When will you go boating?”
“Well, I have no thoughts,…….No, I’ll do it soon.”
I changed my words in a hurry because I said I came here because of the rose night.
“Did you make a reservation for a boat?”
“Reservation? Do I have to make a reservation for a boat?”
“Oh, my. If you want to take a boat out on a rose night, you have to make a reservation a few months earlier.”
“I didn’t think about that. Well, then there’s nothing we can do.”
Agnes quickly gave up.
Anyway, the purpose of coming here was not to take a boat, but to build a wall with him.
“You came all the way here, but it’s sad if you just leave.”
“If I don’t have a boat, I can just watch by the river, so it’s alright.”
“No, I’ve recently built a small ship, and I’ll lend it to the duchess.”
“That’s how you do it. Thank you Count.”
“It’s my pleasure.”
Emmerich bowed politely and stepped down.
After that, several people approached Agnes and disappeared.
“Nice to meet you. Duchess.”
“Well. What about you?”
“I’m Vasa Cellon.”
“Oh. Count Cellon’s……”
“I’m his younger sister.”
They were siblings who looked so alike that they didn’t have to explain.
The other thing was the atmosphere flowing through their whole body.
Emmerich has a soft smile all the time, so if he feels sweet, his younger sister is like a pure and shy deer.
“I’ve been using Elemer a lot these days. The sun is strong in the south, so even if you go under the sunlight for a few times, your skin quickly darkens.”
“I’m glad that it helps.”
“I really wanted to see you. I’m glad you came like this. Duchess.”
“Me? Why?”
“I’ve heard a lot from Emmerich.”
“The Count?”
“Yes. So, let me know if you need anything.”
She said with a sincere expression of joy.
Agnes became shy for no reason at her overflowing favor.
“Thank you, Miss Cellon.”
“Please call me Vasa.”
“Yes. Lady Vasa.”
At Agnes’ words, Vasa smiled brightly like the summer sunshine and bowed and disappeared.
Someone asked Agnes to dance, but she politely refused everyone.
I met the people I had to meet.
Agnes escaped from the banquet hall as the party was ripe.
“Are you tired? Shall we get ready to take a bath?”
As soon as she left the banquet hall, Ney approached right next to her and asked.
“Yeah. It’s so humid here.”
“It would be better to take a bath before going to bed.”
Agnes was walking across the dark garden, sharing stories with Ney.
“Oh, my. Excuse me.”
The tall man on the other side belatedly noticed Agnes coming and stepped aside.
Half of his face was seen in the light.
It looked very cluttered with untidy blonde hair and sideburns.
In addition, there was a half-moon-shaped wound under the chin, so he looked like a mercenary, not a noble.
A mercenary?
“What’s wrong, madam?”
Agnes turned her head and stared at the man’s back for a long time.
“That guy earlier. What was the color of his eyes?”
“Hmm. dark blue? Navy? I think it was that kind of color.”
He’s the pirate king.
The man in the portrait that Roland sent me is clear.
Agnes took a quick step and ran back to the room where she was staying.
And I quickly looked through the materials I had hidden and brought.
“That’s him.”
It roughly matched the characteristics of the pirate king expressed in the picture.
Agnes trembled with light excitement. Somehow I felt like things were going smoothly.
Even if I didn’t bring it up first, I had a place to talk to the count and ran into the pirate king.
“Madam. The bath is ready.”
“Okay.”
Agnes smiled and went into the bath.
The waiting maids rushed in, undressed her, and helped her bathe.
T/N: Agnes has no sense of danger and how could she bring all the evidence with her. My ghad Agnes >.<
