She Was Sent by God

did you get such a big wound?”

 

The large wound that looked painful didn’t heal yet, and the skin around it turned red.

 

“We’ve been attacked nearby.
They were exceptionally fierce and aggressive.
Now that you mention it, Estar also had a big attack a while ago? Are you hurt?”

 

“I’m not hurt.
But…”

 

Agnes hesitated for a moment.
From the look on his face, he doesn’t seem to have heard anything about Beller yet.

 

“Lord Beller died fighting for his master.”

 

“…….
What?

 

“It was after fighting with a bunch of flying beast by himself, he got killed.”

 

Laslo was speechless.
The doctor noticed the subdued atmosphere, finished the procedure quickly and left the room. 

 

“I’m very sorry.
I know how close you are to Lord Beller.”

 

“Sir Beller is my teacher, friend and faithful servant,”

 

He stopped talking.
Agnes held Laslo’s hand tightly instead of offering words of consolation. 

 

She felt sorry for the memory of Laslo, who was sobbing over his coffin in the past.

 

A brief silence passed.
Laslo opened his long-closed eyes. 

 

“I’ll have to stop by his grave before I leave.”

 

“You may do so.”

 

It was late, so they decided to have a simple meal in the bedroom, not in the dining room.

 

“But how did you end up near Sutmar?”

 

“I was actually on my way to the capital.”

 

“Capital? Why?”

 

“Agnes, the Southern Front is now in ruins.”

 

Laslo spoke in a low voice.

 

“Is it because of the plague?”

 

“Yes, our country is suffering a lot, but Devon is also suffering from the plague.
Not long ago, the Duke of Epsilon sent a messenger to offer to negotiate.”

 

Epsilon is the maternal family of the Devon royal family, and the youngest son was decapitated by Sebastian.

 

“They did first? That’s surprising.”

 

“It would be better to withdraw as soon as possible, rather than continue the war with sluggish progress.
They must have been talking about it in Devon.”

 

“Is that why you’re going to the capital? But at this critical time, you’re going…….”

 

“Well.”

 

Laslo swept his hair roughly.
That alone made Agnes understand the situation.

 

“You already sent a messenger to the king, but he said he’s not going to negotiate with Devon.”

 

“Yes, that’s why I will go there myself.
in order to persuade the king.”

 

Will Sebastian really accept the offer?

 

She knew there were previous negotiations, but she didn’t know how it was done.

 

“Then when should you leave again?”

 

“Actually, I’m going this morning.”

 

“What?”

 

Agnes dropped the spoon she was holding and jumped.

 

“Didn’t you hear the doctor? Didn’t he say you shouldn’t overdo it with such a big wound?”

 

“I already delayed my schedule because I stopped by here at Estar.”

 

“But why don’t you take a day off, huh?”

 

“Agnes.”

 

Laslo called her name in a low voice.

 

“That’s why I didn’t want to tell you.
You’re always worrying about me.” 

 

“Of course, I should be.”

 

“I’m sorry, but if things go well in the capital, we can declare the end of the war before spring comes.”

 

He patted Agnes on the back with his hand as if to reassure her.

 

“Then we can spend spring together.”

 

Laslo spoke with surprisingly warm eyes.

 

But Agnes knows better than anyone.

 

Sebastian is not willing to declare an end to the war.

 

If you start a war for no reason and it ends without gaining anything, no matter how much you do, you cannot avoid criticism.

 

But Agnes nodded instead of explaining all this to Laszlo.

 

“Yeah, that’s what it’s going to be.”

 

Agnes’ eyes shone briefly.

 

The couple lay in bed together for the first time in a long time.

 

Just holding hands and leaning on each other’s heads gave me an immeasurable sense of satisfaction.

 

“Laslo.”

 

“Yes.”

 

“I actually have something to tell you.”

 

After a long hesitation, Agnes took a deep breath and spit it out little by little.

 

At this time, she didn’t believe in herself, and didn’t have enough preparation, so she couldn’t say it because it wasn’t the right time, but she had a hunch that it had to be now.

 

“What is it?”

 

“Don’t be surprised.
I actually…….”

 

“Come on, come on, wait!”

 

Lying still, Laslo suddenly jumped out of bed with excitement.

 

“Is it what I think it is?”

 

“That?”

 

“That, that, that!”

 

“What’s that?”

 

Agnes asked back rather curiously.
Laslo looked around and whispered in a low voice.

 

“It’s been a while since I saw you and you looked a little fat.”

 

Agnes’ face was indescribably distorted.

 

“I saw you eating a lot of meat.”

 

“……I just got a little better at eating these days.”

 

“Really? Is that it? Haha.
I’m pretty sharp.”

 

He gave a hearty laugh.
