She Was Sent by God

to her.
An unbreakable silence filled the carriage.

“Is that so?”

Laslo shut his mouth after that.
Agnes also said nothing until the carriage arrived at the village.

“We’ve arrived.
My lord.”

The inn was old and shabby, but it was manageable enough to stay for a day or so.
Agnes, with the help of a maid working at the inn, washed herself and returned to the bedroom.

The bed was empty.
She tried to ask the maid where Laslo was, but she held it in.

‘You’re the one who didn’t believe me.’

She lay on the bed and tucked herself in the blanket.
It was late at night, but instead of falling asleep, her mind wandered somewhere.
She felt angry and then resentful, then anxious and then engulfed in nervousness, so she got out of the bed.

She wore a thick robe and opened the door.
The knight guarding the door asked.

“Do you need anything?”

“What about Laslo?”

“He’s downstairs talking to the knights.”

“But it’s already late at night”

Then the knight smiled vaguely and replied yes.
It seemed like he was avoiding her, so the anger she had been pressing down came up slowly.

Agnes passed the knight and went downstairs.
She could see five or six knights and Laslo having a conversation under the light of the light sphere.

“What’s the matter?”

“It’s late, but you didn’t come back.”

“I was discussing our future journey with the knights.
It’s late at night, so go to bed first.”

Normally, Agnes would try to convince him and go to bed first.
However, the complaints and anxieties accumulated since the day exploded all at once.

“We need to talk.”

“Now?”

“Yes, right now.”

Agnes strode and grabbed Laslo’s arm hard.
The knights, who noticed the mood of the duke couple was unusual, turned their heads around awkwardly.
Laslo said to the knights with a light sigh.

“Let’s talk about it tomorrow.”

“Yes, my lord.”

Laslo and Agnes went up to the bedroom.
Only after the door was closed did Laslo speak.

“What’s the matter?”

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about the rebellion or the beast in advance.
But I was going to tell you that, I mean it.”

“Agnes, let’s talk about that tomorrow.”

“No.
Let’s do it now.
What’s the difference between tomorrow and today? If you’re angry with me or upset about anything, please release it today.”

Agnes said firmly.
Laslo looked at her quietly and said,

“Do you remember the day after you were strangled by the king, I entered the palace alone?”

“I remember.”

“I made a deal with the king that day.
If I go to war myself, he won’t call you back to the palace.”

“What? That’s the only reason?”

Agnes jumped up and down.
Laslo smiled bitterly.

“I thought I could protect you then.
I never thought I’d bring you into the palace as bait.”

“Sebastian is a good politician and manipulative man.
He’s not a man who values faithfulness like you.”

“Yeah, I was stupid.
I wish I had told you earlier.”

He muttered to himself.
Agnes reached out first.

“……Laslo.”

“Why did we hide these important things from each other?”

Agnes clapped her lips and then closed them.
Laslo swept his hair down roughly.

“I’m not mad at you.
I, I’m angry that I didn’t know anything about you.”

“…….”

“Why didn’t I ask you earlier? Why didn’t I notice? I even felt unfamiliar to you, maybe because you don’t trust me that much.”

“It’s not because I don’t trust you!”

Agnes clasped his hand in a hurry.

“At first, I was confused too.
I was obviously being chased by Sebastian’s people, but when I woke up, it was the first night of our honeymoon.”

“The first night?”

“Yeah.
Do you remember? I burst into tears when I saw you.”

“I thought it was because you were nervous.”

“I still remember Sebastian tearing your limbs apart and hanging them on a pole.”

Agnes clenched her fist and exhaled heavily.

“Estar collapsed and you were caught on a pole with your limbs torn apart.
Sir Zoltan also died defending me.”

“…….”

“But when I woke up, I was back on our first night three years ago.
Everything was confusing whether what I went through was true or a dream.
I couldn’t believe it either, so I thought you wouldn’t believe it if I told you.”

“Do you not remember how you came back?”

“I didn’t know that back then.
But I realized it after I met Eugene.”

“Eugene?”

Laslo frowned at the mention of the name.

“Yeah, Eugene isn’t just a wizard.
He’s a sealed dragon and I signed a contract with him with my soul as collateral.”

“Wait, what? A dragon? A dragon from a fairy tale?”
