She Was Sent by God

> 

“Thank you, Your Highness,”

 

“There’s nothing I can’t do for my beloved cousin.”

 

The king smiled mercifully and said, His servant bowed deeply and left the room.
Sebastian, who was doing government affairs alone after he left, got up quickly.

 

“It’s terribly boring.
Let’s go to the queen.
Is she in the palace now?”

 

“No.
She’s in Prince Dietrich’s room.”

 

“Why? Is the prince sick again?”

 

“Yes, I’m afraid so.” Said the chieftain and bowed his head.

 

There was not much change in Sebastian’s expression, but the chieftain, who had been with him for a long time, noticed that he was quite annoyed.

 

So, he led the way to the room where the prince was, quietly.
When he opened the door, Queen Ilona was wiping the prince’s body with a wet towel beside the bed.
Sebastian saw it, and took the towel from her hand and threw it on the bed.

“Why is the queen doing this by herself?”

 

Then he glared at the maids standing coldly around the queen. 

 

“How incompetent are you to make your master do such chores?”

 

“I said I’d do it.
Don’t blame them.”

 

Only then did Ilona look at Sebastian.
The king smiled softly and swept the queen’s shoulder.

 

“You are the noblest woman in Nirseg.
Why are you doing this yourself?”

 

“This is my son.
Your highness.
Who would blame a mother taking care of her children?”

 

“You are the queen; you don’t have to do it.”

 

He still had a gentle tone, but he showed an unstoppable stubbornness.

 

“The prince is suffering from a fever day by day, are you not worried, Your Highness? Dietrich is also the son of His Highness.”

 

Ilona looked at Sebastian with slightly red eyes.
Her gaze was so intense that it could be said that she was glaring at him.
Sebastian stared at his son, who was only three years old, sleeping in bed.

 

“Let’s have another child.”

 

“….
I beg your pardon?”

 

“I’m rather worried about the queen’s too much affection for the child.
I’m very worried that you’re going to harm your health because you stay up all night every time he’s sick.”

 

Ilona was speechless for a while.
She heard it clearly, but she couldn’t understand.

 

“The only thing that matters to me is you.
Ilona.
my queen.
So, don’t do chores like this.…” said Sebastian, lightly kissing Ilona’s cheek.

 

“Get out, please.”

 

Her words and hands went ahead of her thoughts.
Ilona recklessly pushed the king’s body away with all her might.

 

“Please go out.
Your highness please.
please!” She begged.

 

Just looking at his face made her vomit.
She wanted to cut off her arms where his hand and lips touch her with a knife.
Every day she feels terrible.
Sebastian always gives her new hell.

 

“Ahhh!”

 

She cried as she buried her face in her son’s bedside.
Tears welled in her eyes.
She felt sorry for her child who has a weak body,

 

“Oh, baby.”

 

Ilona held the child’s hand and prayed.
That was all she could do.

As the sun had just set, she was secretly visited by Lisa’s handmaiden whom she had seen during the day.

“Duchess, I know it’s rude, but she asked if you could spare her time at night because she had something to tell you.”

 

“It’s alright.”

 

“Thank you, Duchess,”

 

A few hours after the maid had gone, Lisa came to Agnes’ room.

 

“Is it because of Sir Max?”

 

“Yes.
Duchess.”

 

“Sit here.
It’s late at night, so it’s difficult to serve tea.”

 

She recommended a sofa.

 

“Well, how’s Max doing?”

 

“He’s all right.
Now, he’s my escort knight.
He’s been hanging out with other knights quite a lot.”

 

“Oh, that’s good, that’s really good.
I can’t believe he’s alive.
Thank you, Duchess.
Thank you very much.”

 

She bowed her head constantly and expressed her gratitude.

 

Agnes said politely.
“I didn’t do it to be thanked by you.
I wasn’t really planning to protect him in the first place.”

 

“But you saved Max instead of making a deal with my mother.
You felt sorry for me.”

 

“Well.”

 

“Dorina is dead,”

 

It was a sudden change of topic.
Lisa announced her sister’s death with surprising calmness.
Agnes was not very surprised, as she had already expected.

 

“I see.
Is she a knight?”

 

“Yes, I’m sure my mother must be very upset.
Dorina was my mother’s greatest masterpiece.
Unlike the other two.”

 

There was a ridicule in Lisa’s words.

 

“…I’ve heard that the count cares deeply about her eldest daughter.
It’s good she still has two daughters left.”

 

“No.
It’s just me.
Theresa cannot be her successor.”

 

“Why, because she’s already married?”

 

Then Lisa raised the corner of her mouth and laughed.

 

“No, she has no talent for swords.
So, mother will never leave the family to Theresa.”

 

“That means…”

 

Agnes swallowed the saliva in her mouth.
