ng hot.
Agnes clenched her teeth to endure the pain and clenched her fist hard enough to leave a nail mark.

When she asked why it was so painful every time she tried it, the answer was so cold.

“The human body can’t handle the power of the dragon, so it’s bound to strain every time it’s used.”

[Rawr]

Through the torn space, a black hound-like horseman appeared with his mouth wide open.
Laslo pulled out his sword with a strained face.
Agnes barely caught her breath and reached out to the beast.

“Come here.”

“Are you crazy, Agnes.”

A surprising thing happened.
A dog-like horseman approached innocently, licking the back of Agnes’ hand, and even turning over to show his belly.

“Flying horseman is a very violent beast…….”

“This will not harm me, for I call and rule it.”

“What? I don’t understand what you’re talking about at all.”

Laslo looked alternately at Agnes and the beast with a face of great confusion.
The sound of footsteps drew nearer again.
Agnes pushed him away in a hurry.

“Go now.
Come on.”

“Agnes.”

“I will leave the capital completely within two days.
I’ll be right behind you, so please wait a little longer.”

Perhaps he read the truth from her earnest voice, soon Laslo closed his eyes and opened them.

“See you at Sutmar.”

His lips touched his cheek and disappeared.
While blinking a few times, Laslo went down to the first floor and hid herself behind the pillar.

“Duchess, Ahh!”

The maid, who was inadvertently pulling back the curtain, screamed in surprise when she saw the beast.

“Why, what dog is that …….”

“That’s what I used to raise when I lived in the palace.
Leave it as it is.”

“What?”

Agnes left the bewildered maid and headed for the bath.
It was only Laslo’s safety that occupied her head while soaking in hot water.

She decided to stay instead, so if Laslo doesn’t get caught in the middle, there won’t be much trouble.
Still, she can’t trust Sebastian completely.

“As long as he’s completely out of the capital.”

That’s what Agnes is looking forward to.
If he’s not in the capital, she’s free to do things.

“Is the water temperature okay?”

“It’s nice.”

Agnes smiled mercifully at the maid.

It was none other than Chavolti who came running first at the news that she was going to stay in the palace.

“You’ve finally gone mad.”

“Chavolti.”

“Where are you crawling to? Do you want to die, are you crazy?”

“Why did you ignore my letter? I told you to come to Sutmar.”

The maid poured the tea.
Chavolti stopped Agnes when she tried to pick up the steaming cup.

“You try it first.”

He spoke emphatically to the maid.
The lady-in-law blinked in dismay.

“Chavolti.
Don’t make a fuss.”

“Did you already forget how Vivian died? Try it first.”

The maid who brought the tea looked at Chavolti and immediately took a sip of tea.
Of course, nothing happened.

“Are you satisfied now?”

“Your great husband abandoned you at the palace.
Is the tea going down your throat, good?”

“Be careful of your tongue.”

Agnes said with a colder-than-usual face.
Chavolti was expressing his anger to the point where his neck turned red.

“What a coward.
How can he just leave his wife behind?”

“Chavolti.”

“Does he know what it means to have you back in the palace?”

“Chavolti.
Shut your mouth.”

Agnes glared fiercely at Chavolti with her blue eyes.

“I force him to leave like that.
If you don’t know anything, don’t talk recklessly.”

“……No matter what happens, I can never do that to my wife.
I will never…….”

Chavolti clasped his hands.
There was an indelible deep pain on his face.
Agnes’ expression changed dramatically.

“What are you talking about? What happened to Sofia?”

“…….”

“Chavolti.”

“……Sophia has an infectious disease.”

He bowed his head and grabbed his forehead in both hands.
It was not possible to estimate the weight of Chavolti’s pain because she knew better than anyone how close the two were.

“What?”

“The doctor says we should not go to Sofia’s bedroom anymore.
Two days ago, her maid who was attending her quit.”

Chavolti muttered in a low voice.
Agnes was shocked by the sudden news.

This was not the end of Chavolti and Sophia she remembered.

At least none of the news Agnes heard while running away said Sophia was dead.

“When I leave this palace, I will enter Sofia’s room.
I came to see you because it might be the last time.
Agnes.”

“Chavolti!”

“Don’t try to persuade me.
She’s the one who was willing to stand by me when I became a crippled.
I can never give up my wife.”

“You, what are you….”

Agnes was speechless and didn’t know what to say.
He looked around and whispered in a very low voice.

“I’ve contacted grandfather.”

“When?”

“Last night.
He wants to see you.”
