She Was Sent by God

to run into Zoltan.

 

“Are you going to eat?”

 

“Well, Sir?”

 

“I’m on my way to eat, too.”

 

The two naturally came to eat together.
Throughout the meal, Zoltan’s face was as dark and dry as a dried leaf.
Agnes hesitated to put the chopped meat in her mouth.

 

“Is it because of Bushke?”

 

“…I never imagined that Bushke was so determined to ruin Arpad.
I’m…” 

 

“Sir Zoltan,”

 

“Did we do something wrong?”

 

“Why do you think so?”

 

“It is true that Bushke lost his husband and all his children in Sutmar.”

 

Zoltan shook his head from side to side in agony.
There was an indescribable remorse in it.
Agnes finally realized that Zoltan was more shocked by the reason she betrayed him than by the fact that Bushke had betrayed Arpad.

 

“You can feel sorry for her.
She lost her husband, and all her children died guarding the territory.”

 

“…….” 

 

“But that cannot be an excuse for Bushke’s sins.”

 

“I understand, I just….
I’ve seen so many soldiers and knights dying since I first held the sword at fifteen.”

 

Zoltan fumbled out the story of what he had been hiding.

 

“Bushke is right.
Arpad quickly forgets the dead.
We don’t do anything in honor of them.
Because… “

 

“Otherwise, you won’t be able to hold out.”

The memories of the past that she had forgotten came to mind.
Once the demons invaded, there were not many instances where the soldiers’ corpses were piled up so that they could not see the end.

 

“Every day there is a flood of demons, but You couldn’t live in memory of those who died.
That’s why the funerals and memorial services were simplified.
Isn’t it?”

 

“That’s right,” Zoltan nodded.
Agnes turned completely to the side where he sat.

 

“Feel sorry for those who died guarding the defense line.”

 

“…….”

 

“Feel sorry for the crushed life, and keep trying to make sure to lessen the death of the soldiers.”

 

Agnes turned again and looked forward.
She raised her back and raised her fork.

 

“That’s all you can do.”

 

She told Zoltan, but she also said it to herself.

 

Every time she closes and opens her eyes, she thinks of the pile of corpses piled up in a cart.
Agnes will never forget that moment in her life.
Zoltan looked at Agnes in the face for a while.

 

“Princess… You’re a princess, aren’t you?”

 

“What does it mean?”

 

“I’m just glad the princess came to Sutmar.”

 

He scratched his nose and grinned.

The day was unusually long.

 

In the morning Adrienne insisted on going to the plague-stricken area, and at lunch she had to soothe the depressed Zoltan.
After the walk, she went back to the office, and Niall and Adrienne stood there.

 

“What’s the matter?”

 

“Miss Adrienne has something to say.”

 

“I have nothing to say.”

 

“Why not? Are you in your right mind to voluntarily go to the place where the plague is going?”

 

“Yes, for a few days! I made this decision after much consideration.”

 

“Wait a minute,”

 

It was unfamiliar to see men and women arguing.
She wondered if Adrienne and Niall were close to each other.

 

“Don’t stand there for now, sit down.”

 

“No, I’m fine.
Madam, I said everything I wanted to say in the morning.”

“Madam asked you to sit down.”

 

“It doesn’t matter if I sit down or not.”

 

“Why doesn’t it matter?”

 

Agnes sat alone on the sofa and touched her temple.
The quarrel between the man and woman shows little sign of ending.

 

“You don’t even know when your clothes have holes or you’re wearing them backwards.
When you’re inside the lab you don’t even go out to eat properly and now, you’re going somewhere!” 

 

“That’s,”

 

“How can you stand by yourself in a village where you can’t even take care of yourself?”

 

“I’m not going alone.
The two other doctors also decided to go together.”

 

“Who are you going with? Did they trick you?”

 

Niall, who had been pouring out sharp words all along, glared with black eyes.

 

“Why don’t you sit down and talk?”

 

Agnes’ head aches as she tried to keep looking up.

 

Adrienne sat down first.
Niall settled down a little way away.

 

“Niall,”

 

“… Yes, madam.”

 

“To put it bluntly, Adrienne, wherever she goes is none of your business.”

 

“But it’s such a dangerous place,”

 

“I understand your concern, but you can’t tell her what to do because you’re not family.”

 

Agnes gently exclaimed him.
At the same time, she was curious why Niall reacted intensely.

 

When Niall’s momentum subsided, Adrienne also relaxed.

 

“Mr.
Niall, I’m fine.
There is no family left anyway, and if I die while looking for a cure, another doctor will take care of it.”

 

“That’s what I’m saying now……….”

 

The brighter Adrienne smiled, the distorted Niall’s face.

 

“Do you have to go?”

 

“Yes,”

 

“Then marry me before you go.”
