She Was Sent by God

Chap 1.
End

“Wake up!”

It was an urgent voice unfamiliar to me.

She always knew Laslo Arpad as a lax man.

He had probably left his impatience in the womb.

“Damn it.
Wake up, princess! There’s no time to waste lingering around.”

But today was different.

“What?”

Agnes woke up to a strong hand waving itself in front of her.

I was still half-asleep and drowsy.
I opened my eyes and couldn’t see anything in the dark.

“Duke Arpad.
For what brings you here.
The chicken hasn’t even cokcrowed yet”

No matter how much ties a couple has with each other, it’s important for them not to visit their wife’s bedroom without notice.

“I don’t have the time to spare you an argument, princess.”

He threw a worn out package at me.
Whatever was inside of it was pretty heavy.

“What is this…….”

When suddenly, a man’s scream resounded throughout.

Agnes noticed that her readily-armed husband had frowned at her earlier.

“Come with me right now.”

“What’s going on?”

“The gate is open.”

Agnes gasped.
The calamity outside came to a stop.
Laslow calmly looked into her eyes.

“There’s no time.”

She was sometimes afraid to look into his eyes.

Because it felt like all of her darkest secrets were being dug out.

From the first time I stepped into this castle until now.

“What do you mean? The gate is open…….
Isn’t Estar a thousand years old?”

“A thousand-year-old fortress is bound to fall apart.” He smiled bitterly.

I was informed that the king’s army was surrounding Sutmar.
I knew that things weren’t going as well as I thought and anxiously rushed out the hall.

Although I never would have imagined that the gates would open up so quickly.

“Hurry up.” He urged.

Agnes just got up.
Her eyes still hadn’t adjusted to the darkness yet so she clumsily put on her clothes.
She wasn’t aware of how hard it was.

“Can’t you get dressed properly?” Laslo croaked and clicked his tongue.
He took the strap that Agnes was holding while she looked on in a daze.
He skillfully knotted it for her.

“Are we leaving?”

Agnes calmly looked down at his dark golden head.
There weren’t many options to choose from if the gates were open.

It was either we surrender or run away.

“Yes.
To Cyclosiro.”

“Cyclosiro? That far?”

It would take a full two months on horseback to travel that far south.
I’ve heard about that place but never have I been there.

“Zoltan will go with the princess instead of me.”

“Why?” She asked.

“I wonder why?” He asked back.

“Is he the most fit for the job? What about you?”

His hands that were tying up the sash went a slight bit slack.

“I can’t leave as the castle’s lord.”

“Such a thing!”

Laslo neatly ended the knot of Agnes’s fur cape before retaliating.

“It’s done.
Don’t forget to take care of that package.
Food and coins are in.
There are also commoner’s clothes that you can change into once you’re out of the castle.”

“What?”

“Ah, I stuffed some jewelry in there too but don’t sell them until you’ve left for good.
The pursuers might notice.”

“Duke Arpad.”

“Get a ticket to Arahan Island once you arrive at Cyclo.”

Laslo continued without stopping,

“Duke, wait.”

“Selling the jewelry will allow you to buy a small piece of land.
They’re expensive so you’ll be able to last a few years if you save them up.
And-……”

“Wait, wait!”

Agnes barely managed to stop Laslo’s rapid barrage of words.

“What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Are you trying to imply that you’ll stay behind?”

“I will stay.
Go and leave me behind.”

“Will you surrender? Then I will remain as well.”

“I won’t surrender.”

She was ready to mouth words of protest but couldn’t say a thing after that.
Laslo once again said with strength.

“I stay here.”

If one neither surrenders nor escapes, the only option left is to fight.

He’s going to fight the king’s army till the very end.

“……Duke Arpad.”

It’s been three years since I got married to him.

Agnes still remembered the day she first saw him.
He was so tall that she had to bend her neck to look up.
Every member of the royal family was short, so Agnes felt like he was a giant from a fairytale for being one head taller than her.

“Princess.”

Laslo tightly gripped her shoulder.

She gulped after realizing what was coming.

“But, but…….”

She kept shaking her head several times.

Laslo was the fallen Duke of the West and she obviously didn’t want to marry him as the Nirisu’s princess.
Her sister, Princess Vivian, died when she was in a weakened state during her menstrual cycle.

The culprit was one of Vivian’s relatives and Agnes’ half brother, Prince Sebastian.

A few years later, her kindred brother Chavolti had become a cripple.
She swiftly begged Sebastian for mercy at this revelation.
Agnes’ mother pleaded for an alliance with the second king.

– Prince.
Please save our poor princess.

Once Agnes became an adult she was ma
