spoke so casually.

 

“Wait, are you approved as the successor? When?”

 

“Yesterday evening.
There’s no reason to postpone it anymore because I brought my fiancé.”

 

“You’re engaged? When did that happen?”

 

The more they talked, the more she was surprised.
Agnes forgot to close her mouth for a moment.

 

“Oh, that was 10 days ago.
The Duchess knows him.
No, it can be said that I met him thanks to the Duchess.”

 

“There is only one single aristocratic man I know”

 

Just in time someone knocked on the carriage door.
Agnes opened the window to look outside and was surprised to see an unexpected person.

 

“No, how could you be here?”

 

“Oh, you’re just in time.”

 

“Excuse me, but can I go inside?” Enrico Dentarike said, catching a rough breath.

 

She saw him once, but she can’t forget him. 

 

“Come in for now.”

 

“Thank you, Duchess.”

 

It was a pretty wide carriage, but it felt cramped with three adults.
He sat next to Erica very naturally.
The only man who can sit next to an unmarried woman is his spouse or family.

 

Agnes looked at the faces of men and women alternately with bitter eyes.

 

“Two of you?”

 

“Yes, I’m glad the count said he was looking for a bride.”

 

“Have I ever introduced you two?”

 

“When I was staying in Estar, Miss Erica visited the castle.
That’s when we first met.”

 

“It was a fateful encounter.”

 

Erica spoke nonchalantly.
Enrico looked at her fiance with lovely eyes.

 

“Erica was the first woman to tell me, ‘All you have is money and face, but it doesn’t matter.’“

 

“Oh, my.
How can you say such a thing in front of the Duchess?”

 

“Uh… Congratulations on your engagement.”

 

Agnes looked like someone who chewed something bitter, and for a while only her lips fluttered.

 

“But did you get on the carriage to talk about this?”

 

Her voice came out unintentionally.
Erica said with a smile, as if she had noticed it.

 

“No, of course it’s more important.”

 

“A few days ago, I met the duke in secret.”

 

Agnes’ complexion completely changed when Laslo became the topic.

 

“Did you meet him in person? How is he? Do you see any injuries? How’s his face?”

 

“He’s very healthy and fine.
Don’t worry too much.”

 

“Sigh.
What a relief.”

 

Enrico’s words relieved her nervousness and anxiety a little.
She was afraid that Sebastian had done anything wrong to Laslo.

 

“We’ve already arranged an escape route.
After the duchess entered the palace…….”

 

“Before that, I have a question.”

 

Erica leaned forward, cutting off Enrico’s words.

 

“Is it true that the reason why the king kept the duke in an abandoned palace was because the Duchess tried to rebel?”

 

“Does that make sense? Why would the Duchess do such a thing?”

 

“What if it’s true?”

 

Agnes slowly crossed her legs and stood stiffly.
Erica did not panic.

 

“But shouldn’t we know where the ship is going when we’re on the same boat?”

 

“Are you completely on board?”

 

“Well, first of all, we’ll have to check if it’s a perforated ship before we get on it.”

 

Agnes smirked when she heard that she would run away if it sank.
But she still showed her true feelings.

 

“The king’s words are not completely wrong.”

 

“Were you really preparing for a rebellion?”

 

“Because I had to do everything to escape death.”

 

Enrico’s face was shocked as he believed the rumors were completely false.
On the other hand, Erica looked overly calm.

 

“Are you not surprised?”

 

“I expected it a little bit.
You’ve always given me too much help than I needed.
When you give something like that, you want something bigger than that.”

 

“I’m glad you understand very well.”

 

Agnes looked at Erica with a friendly smile.

 

“It doesn’t look like you’ve prepared it for a month or two, have you been planning it for a long time?”

 

“Yes, I was thinking about it even before the coronation.”

 

“Why do you want to be king? You weren’t interested in the throne.”

 

“Yes, that’s right.”

 

Agnes continued calmly.

 

“I had no desire to be king.
It doesn’t matter what happens as long as my life is with me.”

 

Agnes still remembers that day when she fell at Sebastian’s feet and begged that only her life be spared.
At that time, the most important thing was her life, and nothing else.

 

However, when the gate collapsed and was on the verge of death, Agnes gained something more important than her own life, not only Laslo but also countless people who died for her.
She would do anything to protect them.
