“How uncomfortable were you to tell me this?”
“What?”
Agnes raised her head.
“I’ll call your maid right now.”
Before she could even tell him that wasn’t like that he strode forward and pulled the bell.
The servant who was waiting outside came in and bowed his head.
“Do you need anything?”
“Go and call Agnes’ personal maid.”
“No, wait…..”
“Yes, master.”
In a blink of an eye, the servant left the room.
Agnes was so dumbfounded that he couldn’t even notice what had happened now.
“Wait a minute. Agnes.”
He led Agnes to the bed and sat him down with a very soft face.
“What did you just do?”
She was so frustrated and angry.
“I called your maid. She will come soon, so be patient even if it makes you uncomfortable. Anyway, today I was out in the village for a while, and suddenly a brown dog appeared… ….”
Any feelings she had disappeared as Laslo, as usual, confided about what had happened today.
She couldn’t hide her disappointment. She sat in a state of awe, and just then Ney came in no time.
She looked at the man and woman dressed intact and asked with a puzzled face.
“I heard you called, Master.”
“Your madam doesn’t seem to be wearing all of her clothes, so she feels uncomfortable. Go and get her underwear.”
“What?”
Ney raised her head slightly disrespectfully.
Laslo once again said like a generous Master.
“Bring Agnes’ clothes.”
“Oh, oh, what?”
The maid, who belatedly understood the situation, was speechless.
Ney stuttered and shouted.
“How can you do that to your wife?”
Ney said with an angry face. She straightened her back, bowing politely, and criticized Laslo fiercely.
“What are you talking about? What did I do to her?”
Laslo, who did nothing, made a sullen look on his face.
“You’re so mean, master.”
Ney stood next to Agnes, sobbing halfway.
“I’ll be on my way.”
Agnes spoke in a calm voice.
“Already?”
“I remembered something I had to do urgently.”
She walked by the door and looked at Laslo.
Laslo knew that her eyes had changed from the beginning, but he couldn’t guess the reason.
“Laslo.”
“Huh?”
“Just forget it.”
Agnes’ eyes were burning with rage that he could never comprehend.
“What did I do?”
The man left alone grumbled for a while and tried to figure out his fault, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t guess the reason.
* * *
“Madam.”
“Whatever. Just turn off the light and get out.”
“Yes.”
Recognizing the Duchess’ uncomfortable mood, the maid quietly turned off the light without saying a word.
Agnes lay in a wide bed and huffled alone.
He doesn’t know how much courage it took for her to say that?
“What? Call the maid? Uncomfortable?”
Thinking about it, she got angry and kicked the blanket with her feet.
‘How can you be so clueless? I said it so openly!’
“Laslo…”
Agnes ruminate over his name.
She inevitably grinded her teeth and pounded the pillow with her fist, she couldn’t sleep until dawn.
Thanks to that, she woke up the next morning with a dreamy mind.
She was yawning and trimming her clothes, when Laslo sent his attendant.
“He asked if you could have breakfast together.”
“The Duke?”
“Yes Madam.”
Agnes pouted her lips and soon nodded.
“Tell him I will.”
The servant stepped back. Subsequently, the maids served Agnes with sincerity and respect.
“Should I bring the box?”
Looking into the ornaments Laslo gave her was what Agnes does every morning these days.
The maid who knew this asked with a smile.
“Forget it.”
Agnes’ face became unprecedentedly cold.
“Don’t bring it.”
“Oh, okay. Madam.”
The maid, who asked the question, was embarrassed and hurriedly bowed her head.
When she arrived at the Dining hall, she sat where she always sits beside Laslo.
He greeted Agnes as usual.
“Did you have a good night?”
“No.”
A cold and decisive answer came back. Laslo flinched and turned his body to the side where Agnes was sitting.
“The bed in my room is too spacious to sleep alone.”
“Hmm.”
For some reason, he felt like he had heard it somewhere, the conversation was very familiar.
Laslo coughed and turned his head around.
“You’ll get used to it soon.”
“Did you get used to it?”
Agnes said looking straight into his face. A crooked smile crept across her lips.
“Yeah. You’ll get used to it someday.”
“Of course…”
“……..”
“However, if you make a bed that is too big, I can’t use it properly.”
“Agnes, wait a minute.”
“Why did you bring such a big bed? You should have just made a coffin. I’m going to lie down and sleep by myself anyway!”
Agnes grumbled and spoke. The words that she was holding back burst out at once.
Laslo bowed his head half-way with one hand covering his face. His voice was lower than usual.
“Agnes.”
“Why? Am I wrong? If you have a mouth, tell me.”
“Please let’s talk about that next time….”
“I don’t need a big bed, so make a new one!”
Instead of answering, he sighed deeply.
“Hahaha. Shall I come next time?”
She heard a strange man laughing very awkwardly behind her back.
Agnes turned her head in surprise.
“…No. Stay here. I was going to introduce you to Agnes anyway.”
“Nice to meet you. Duchess.”
The man bowed lightly to Agnes first.
It was her first time seeing the man with brown hair and a soulful impression.
“What about you?”
“This is Count Enrico Denterike.”
“Denterike”
It was her first time hearing the name. Laslo said after adjusting his expression.
“He’s a relative from my mother’s family living in Leana. My cousin. He came for a hunting trip this time.”
“Oh.”
Agnes only then realized that Enrico had just heard the entire conversations she had with Laslo.
Her cheeks reddened from the embarrassment that came late.
“Hmm. Welcome to Sutmar. Count Denterike.”
“Thank you for the hospitality.”
Enrico smiled broadly and sat across from Agnes.
“When did you arrive in Estar?”
“It was late in the evening yesterday. I couldn’t greet you because I arrived too late. I’m sorry.”
“No. We can just exchange greetings like this now. You’re from Leana?”
Enrico was a good communicator because he was very talkative and sociable.
Agnes soon forgot her embarrassment and was able to talk naturally with him.
“Please stay as comfortably as if you are in your own house. If you need anything, tell the butler anytime.”
“Thank you.”
“Why are you getting up so soon?”
“I have no appetite.”
Agnes rolled her eyes at Laslo as she stood up.
Last night’s resentment has not yet completely disappeared.
It was only after she completely disappeared from the Dining room that Enrico let out her smirk that he had been suppressing.
“She’s not an ordinary person.”
“No.”
“I imagined a calm and gentle person when you said that she was a princess.”
Enrico put down the knife he was holding and continued to sniff and laugh.
He had to bite his tongue in order not to laugh at the part where she dignifiedly shouts to put her coffin instead of the bed.
“She’s much funnier than I thought.”
Laslo sighed briefly and turned his head around.
“How is the atmosphere on Leana’s side?”
“Nothing special happened until I left. But you know what? It’s a mess in Leana right now.”
“Was the previous queen still the regent?”
“What do you mean regent? She made a twelve-year-old child king and sucked his blood from the people.”
Enrico cynically spoke. Laslo said, wiping his mouth with a napkin.
“It looks like King Sebastian is going to start a war.”
“War? With Leana?”
“No. with Devon.”
“For what?”
“It’s nominal, if he makes it, that’s enough.”
“That’s true.”
Enrico shook his head several times with a serious expression on his face.
“But if we go to war with Devon, will Nirseg form an alliance with Leana? After all, Leana also has a border with Devon, doesn’t it?”
“That’s why I asked you. I was wondering who the royal family of Leana would support.”
“What would I know?”
“Even so, you also have the blood of the Leana royal family, don’t you?”
At Laslo’s words, Enrico made the sound of the wind falling between his lips.
“There are only a few people left who know that I’m from the royal family. It’s a fancy royal family, and it’s been a long time since their limbs were cut off.”
“How uncomfortable were you to tell me this?”
“What?”
Agnes raised her head.
“I’ll call your maid right now.”
Before she could even tell him that wasn’t like that he strode forward and pulled the bell.
