She Was Sent by God

He did not necessarily add that Baron Leslin’s legs were all broken and his face was covered with tears and a runny nose.

[Did you get hurt?]

“I didn’t.”

He lifted his arm leisurely.
Agnes carefully examined Laslo’s whole body.

[Great job]

“What’s there to do?”

He walked down the hallway with Agnes and responded appropriately.

“When would be a good time to go back to the territory? I think we can finish packing in two days.”

When Agnes heard that, she briefly wrote something down in the paper.

[I got an invitation from Kiske family]

“What invitation?”

[Kiske is having a 150th anniversary party]

“Arpad is over 300 years old.”

Laslo stopped walking with his arms folded.

“Your throat hasn’t recovered yet.
Where do you think you’re going?”

“It’s almost healed…”

Agnes quickly closed her mouth and scrawled her pen when Laslo glanced at her trying to protest.

[It’s all healed.
It’s true.]

However, Laslo’s expression was still stern.

[I already made a promise before.]

“…….”

[Erica decorated the mansion with light spheres and asked me to come]

“…….”

[I want to go]

 

Agnes’ shoulders drooped.
It was a written message, not verbal, but the disappointment was felt so well.

“But.”

Agnes bowed her head silently and only wiggled her fingers.

Soon after, she heard a feverish sigh above her head.

“When is the banquet?”

****

“Thank you so much for coming, Duchess.”

Erica approached with a friendly smile.

“Welcome, Duchess.”

Marchioness Kiske approached Agnes and bowed.

The mother and daughter standing side by side did not look surprisingly alike.

The Marchioness, who had gorgeous blonde hair and a more colorful appearance, looks like Milan.

The light sphere you sent to us last time was used as a decoration in this party instead of a candle.

“Is it useful?”

At Agnes’ question, the Marchioness covered her lips and laughed.

“Of course.
It’s much more useful than my son.”

“Mother.”

Erica looked at the Marchioness with a somewhat awkward face.

Then Marchioness said with a beautiful smile.

“Please enjoy the banquet, Duchess.”

The mother and daughter bowed and disappeared.

Agnes sipped over the fruit wine and looked around the banquet hall.

Most of the influential aristocrats attended Kiske’s neutral political orientation.

Agnes was planning to contact Roland after sending away Laslo and the knight appropriately.

“Sir Matron.”

“Yes.”

“Why don’t you enjoy the banquet too?”

“I’m protecting the duchess and I am enjoying it enough.”

If there is a problem, it is that he was directly ordered by Laslo to escort her.

No conciliations or threats worked, so I was worried about how to send him away.

“Why don’t you ask a girl you like to dance?”

“Unfortunately, she’s not here.”

Matron replied very bluntly.

While struggling on her own, a group of nobles flocked.

“Duchess.”

Most of them were unfamiliar to me.

“What’s going on?”

“I’ve only heard of rumors, but I didn’t know that light spheres were this beautiful.”

“I feel like my dark eyes are folding brightly.”

“Hmm?”

Agnes blinked, unaware of their intentions.

When she didn’t respond, they gently rubbed their palms and opened their mouths.

“If possible, can I buy light spheres?”

“If you want to buy it, send a letter to the west side.”

“I sent it, but they said they could only get the goods in winter due to delayed reservations.”

A man complained with a tearful face.

“I will hold a big banquet in our territory this fall, and I hope there will be a light sphere.”

“Well, if you need it, I’ll talk to the person in charge”

Agnes shrugged her shoulders insignificantly.
The face of the man on the other side brightened.

“Thank you, Duchess!”

He left his seat in full swing.
Other nobles watching it flocked with their eyes twinkling.

“D, Duchess! I also have an urgent situation.………”

“My family will hold a very big banquet in the summer.
if possible…….”

Later, so many people flocked that Matron had to stop them.

“Princess!”

When I barely escaped from the group of nobles, the person I had been waiting for appeared.

“How long are you going to insist on the title?”

“H, how are you?”

Roland said with a grin.

She knew his true self, but he seemed like a person who really had no idea about anything, he was so good at acting.

“By the way, princess.
I’m going to show you what I said before.
Is it okay?”

“What you said before, ah.
Do you mean that?”

“Yes, I hid it in the garden!”

Sandor is one of the closest families to Sebastian.

Therefore, Agnes tried to limit her meeting with Roland to an “accidental meeting” at a banquet.

“I’m looking forward to it.
Erica bragged about it so much.”

“You can look forward to it.
You’ll be surprised when you see it.”

The two naturally came out of the banquet hall and walked together to the garden.

Matron followed them quietly, too.

“I can’t believe you’re wearing a tailcoat.”

“It’s not my will.”

Roland whispered in a very small voice.
Agnes also smiled and spoke quietly.

“What should I do?”

“Leave us alone.
Go ahead.
I’ll follow you soon.”

“Yes.”

The night garden decorated with light spheres was surprisingly beautiful.

 

“Oh my….
Princess.
I forgot to bring a bag of rice.”

“You’re so forgetful.”

“I’m sorry, but please wait here!”

Roland ran away.
Matron silently followed Agnes.

“Sir Matron.”

“Yes, madam.”

“Go get me some cool water.
With ice floating.”

“That’s for the servant….”

“It’s only for a short time.
It’s so hot that I can’t endure it.”

Matron hesitated, but soon nodded when Agnes showed signs of annoyance.

“I’ll be right back.”

“Okay.”

Agnes ran to the meeting place only after Matron completely disappeared from sight.

“This way.”

When I went to the place we were supposed to meet, Roland appeared in the shadows.

“I’ll send you more details in the west, but the more I look into it, the more spectacular it gets.”

“Hmm?”

“The full-fledged investigation began after Emmerich Cellon received the Count, but there were more items smuggled and trafficked beyond the black wall than I thought.”

“What are they trying to smuggle?”

“There are small alcohol and tobacco leaves to large wheat, copper, and iron.”

“Oh, he has a lot of guts.”

Wheat and iron are items that are strictly controlled by the state.

If caught, the issue is so serious that it will be handed over to a trial for communicating with other countries.

“I know.
As I keep investigating, I’m doubting whether Count Cellon is really the Count I know.”

Agnes twitched her nose.
I think things will be bigger than I thought.

“That’s right…”

“That’s not all.”

Roland spoke with a ton of low voice.

“Is there anything else besides this?”

“Yes.
According to the spies, it seems to be closely related to the Pirate King.”

“Pirate King? Is he communicating with them?”

Roland nodded his head instead of answering.
Agnes’ face became more serious than before.

“Do you have any evidence?”

“We have secured an insider’s testimony.
We have obtained information that there is a double ledger on the smuggling side, and it’s still related to the pirate king.”

“Then.”

Then there was a rustling sound from the bushes a little far away.

The two shut their mouths at the same time.
Agnes pointed at the bushes with her chin.

Roland walked very carefully toward the sound.

“It must have been a cat.”

A small cat shot away in the bushes.

“What about Count Barania?”

“She’s so clean there that it’s weird.
She didn’t commit that common usury once.”

“Hmm.”

As for Barania, it was expected to some extent, so there was no big disappointment.

“Is there anything else special?”

“Well, recently, Count Barania’s youngest daughter is missing.”

“What?”

“It seems like they’re keeping it inside the family, but she seems to have run away with her escort knight.”

“Oh, my.
The Count must be very concerned.”

Agnes stopped talking for a long time that Roland called her

“Duchess?”

Suddenly, I remembered that the Count’s youngest daughter died unfortunately.

And I remember hearing that the daughter’s body was found in a city in Leana.

“Look through Leana.”

“What?”

“East coast.
It’s a port city.
What was its name?”

Even if I kept squeezing my head, I could not remember the name.

“The coastal city of Leana?”

“Yeah.
We need to find the Count’s Youngest daughter as soon as possible.
Before something happens to her.
Okay?”

Agnes’ expression was so firm that Roland could not bring up another rebuttal.
