“Enrico.”

“My goal in life is to just live quietly and die.”

He shook his head with a dark face.

Laslo did not ask more because he knew why Enrico was so disciplined.

“Okay. Got it. I shouldn’t have asked the person who came to cool down. Take a good rest.”

“Sorry for not being able to help.”

“No. Forget it. By the way, when are you planning to get married?”

“No woman in Leana wants to marry me.”

Enrico said with a self-helpful smile.

“It would be quicker for me to marry in Nirseg. I can bring lots of gold coins.”

“Then since you’re here, find someone.”

Laslo said in a serious tone.

“Do you know anyone?”

“If you have any ideal type, I can help you. What kind of person do you want?”

“Well. If possible, it would be better if she had a personality like the Duchess. I think marriage will be exciting.”

“Do you think people like Agnes are common? Don’t say anything stupid.”

Laslo glared and snorted hard. Seeing that, Enrico laughed again.

“You said you had no intention of getting married before, but you changed.”

“When did I say that?”

“Didn’t you say that when Zoltan gets married, you will pass the title to his son, since you have absolutely no plans of getting married?”

“…… I forgot that your memory is uselessly good.”

Laslo coughed awkwardly.

“I was wondering who you married because you are acting like this.”

A sincere smile was seen over Enrico’s face. Laslo turned his head around to cover his embarrassed face.

“You came here to hunt waterfowl?”

Enrico giggled and laughed lightly.

On the way back to the room, a servant rushed to Agnes.

“Madam.”

“Hmm? What’s going on?”

“I got a message from the front gate. A guest has arrived.”

“Guest? Ah.”

She just remembered that Erica sent a visiting card to visit Estar Castle a while ago.

“Take the lead.”

“Yes, Madam.”

I followed the servant and walked to the front of the castle gate. When Erica spotted her, she bowed down with a gentle smile.

“Duchess.”

“Welcome to Estar. Miss Erica.”

“Thank you. Although it’s my second visit, it feels familiar and warm like home.”

The two women went up to the drawing room having a friendly conversation.

Erica took off her hat and handed it over to the maid.

“The matter was urgent to send by letter, so I came here in person.”

“What’s going on?”

Instead of speaking right away, she looked around. Agnes immediately noticed the meaning of the action.

“Everyone, go out.”

“Yes.”

The servants went out of the drawing room without a sound of footsteps.

Erica’s face, which had been smiling the whole time, quickly cooled.

“The Devon royal family is preparing for war.”

“What?”

“To be exact, the Duke of Epsilon. It is only a matter of time before the war starts since he is taking the lead in insisting.”

“The Duke of Epsilon?”

Devon is a country where even the queen actively participates in politics, so the influence of the Duke is quite strong.

“And they are buying war supplies outright. Even the mercenaries from our side secretly asked for it.”

“Why does Duke Epsilon insist on war?”

At Agnes’ question, Erica frowned.

“You haven’t heard it yet. The King killed the youngest son of Duke Epsilon, who came as an envoy a while ago, and cut off his neck and sent it back.”

Agnes was speechless.

I knew there was going to be a war with Devon sometime this fall, but I didn’t know there was such a story.

“He won’t do that as long as he doesn’t go crazy…”

“I’ve heard rumors that when the current king was still a prince his hands were cruel and cold, but I didn’t know it was this bad.”

Erica shook her head in disgust. Agnes’ face hardened.

“There’s going to be a war soon.”

“Yes. Devon has already begun to deploy some of their troops on the border near the Yeka Mountains.”

“How many?”

“According to our information network, it is estimated that there are more than 50,000.”

That’s definitely not a small number. Hearing that the military had even moved near the border gave her chills.

Agnes was only then that the word war was heavily embedded in his heart.
It was only then that the word war was deeply engraved in Agnes’ heart.

“What does Epsilon want from the mercenaries?”

“It’s food. Devon has been experiencing a bad harvest in recent years. As a result, there has been a scarcity in their food supply, so I think they’re secretly buying it from abroad.”

Erica lowered her voice more than before.

“Based on this momentum, I think the war will start as soon as the harvest season is over.”

“I see.”

“The current king only has a few thousand standing army which is not enough to win the war..….”

“He’ll force my lords to recruit soldiers.”

“Yes, that is correct. I came to Sutmar in haste to let you know. There will be an order from above to evacuate soon.”

There are less than two months left until the harvest season. Agnes clenched her fists unconsciously.

“Thank you for coming in person.”

“Don’t mention it.”

My mind flashed as if I was covered in cold water.

After returning from the South, I didn’t think deeply about the war due to the work of Lisa and Max.

Thanks to Erica, I now know what to do.

“Then I will leave tomorrow. Duchess.”

“Are we going back?”

“No, it’s okay because my father is in the territory right now. I will go to the capital right away.”

“Well, the king will convene the aristocratic association soon.”

“Yes. I’m going to go and figure out the atmosphere myself. Even if I can’t directly participate in the aristocratic association, I have to be close to them to respond quickly.”

“Hmm.”

Agnes lifted the cold glass and put it down.

“Will Sir Milan participate in the war?”

“Of course, he will. It’s a great opportunity to get back in our father’s favor.”

Erica bit her lip and spoke. Anger flashed in her eyes.

As long as he comes back alive from the war, Milan will easily become the successor.

“Then, what about Marquis Kiske?”

“If Milan joins the war, my father doesn’t have to go to war.”

Suddenly, Agnes felt a sense of crisis. Everything that she knew is changing little by little.

In the past, the Marquis of Kiske went to war and returned greatly injured.

She was willing and afraid of the changing future. It felt like the world she knew was gradually disappearing.

After talking, Erica got up from her seat and bowed gracefully.

“You don’t have to see me off tomorrow. I felt the Duchess’ hospitality enough to meet you in person.”

“Right.”

After sending Erica away, her mind was confused for a while.

Agnes called Theo and Andrassy after a long time.

“Did you call me, Duchess?”

Theo arrived one step ahead.

“How far is the production of armor enchanted with the defense magic I mentioned earlier?”

“Oh, I’ve finished about 1,000 pieces.”

“Only a thousand?”

It’s not enough.

This time, the size of the Order nearly doubled, and the cavalry alone exceeded 500.

When Agnes’ voice didn’t look good, Theo crouched his neck.

“Can you speed up production?”

“Well, it’s not impossible, but the manpower…….”

He rubbed his chin with a rather troubled face. Just in time, Andrassy opened the door and came in.

“Did you call me, Madam?”

“How many people are in the production of the spheres right now?”

“A total of eighty-two.”

“Were there that many?”

“Oh, there are 27 technicians who actually make spheres. The rest do other tasks such as packaging and delivery.”

“From today on, stop the entire production of spheres and focus all your energy on making armor with Theo.”

“What do you mean armor?”

To his question, Theo briefly explained what kind of armor it was.

Andrassy’s eyes lit up. He said, while shaking

“Defense magic armor! That’s incredible! Unlike the spheres, if you increase the unit price and sell it…….”

“I have no intention of selling the armor to anyone else.”

Agnes said firmly. Andrassy’s shoulders, which had been swollen with expectations, dropped.

“Then may I ask why you are suddenly telling me to stop producing spheres and make armor?”

“We’re going to use it in the near future. You need to hurry.”

When she finished speaking, Theo still rolled his eyes, but Andrassy lifted his head.

“Is this what I’m thinking?”

“Well, I guess it will start after the harvest season is over.”

“I see. I was wondering about the soaring price of wheat these days.…. Let’s see if there’s anything else we need to prepare.”

“Ahmm? What’s going on? Are you going on a beast expedition in the fall?”

Theo looked at the two alternately and asked.

“Andrassy, I like that you understand quickly. Let’s do it as fast as we can. Make sure 5,000 pieces can be produced in two months.”

“What? 5,000? I can only 1,000 in three months.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Hey, I have no idea what the two of you are talking about.”

Theo has not been able to keep up with the conversation between the two since earlier.

Agnes tucked Theo in instead of responding kindly to him.

“You two should talk well and match your schedule.”

“Yes. Let’s go this way. Theo-nim.”

Andrassy said in a very friendly tone. The two bowed lightly and left the room.

War. It’s a war.

Agnes decided to write down all the information she knew about the war on a piece of paper.

<War breaks out with Devon in the fall>

<More than half of the duke’s soldiers, including Sir Zoltan, have been called out.>

<The eldest daughter of Count
Barania died during the war>

<Lord Beller died during the war>

<The next spring, the epidemic begins in the south>

<After a while, the epidemic spreads across the country>

<The disease spread so rapidly that it was impossible to carry out the war, and eventually a ceasefire>

It was a truce, but in reality, it was nothing short of a defeat. Because of that, she remember that the public sentiment was very ugly.
