“Any bad news?”

“See it for yourself.”

Agnes handed over the letter she was holding.
The detailed news of the capital sent by Roland was written in detail.

“It’s good that the king took the bait, ah.
The second prince.
Oh dear…….”

“They are resting in the palace, but it seems certain that the prince has a plague.”

“Prince Dietrich is only three years old.”

Pity and compassion came to Laslo’s face.
Agnes gently grabbed Laslo’s arm sitting next to him.

“A few days ago, Adrienne sent me a letter telling me that she had made good progress in medicine research.
We have to wait with hope.”

“Did the herbalist find a cure for the plague in the past?”

“I don’t know about that.
I’ve never met Adrienne before.”

“I see.”

Every time they passed through a village, there was always one pit where the bodies were piled up.
Every time they saw it, they couldn’t raise their heads in misery.

“By the way, didn’t you say you’d tell me about Eugene?”

“How far did I tell you?”

“He was sealed seven times.”

Starting with how she came back from the past, she began to reveal everything she had hidden.
Laslo listened to her story very seriously, unlike before.

“You said the last seal, was you? What does that mean exactly?”

– If I kill you and eat your heart, I can regain my strength completely.

She suddenly remembered what Eugene said.
Agnes hesitated to speak for a moment.

“I mean, um.
I think my heart has the key to break the seal.”

“Your heart? How?”

“Well, I don’t know.”

Agnes faltered about the sealing.
Even if the sixth seal is broken, it doesn’t mean that Eugene is going to kill her right away.
Fortunately, Laslo didn’t ask any further.

“Oh, I have something to show you.
Do you have a dagger?”

“Dagger?”

Laslo gently pulled the sword out of his arms.
Agnes took the sword from the sheath and tried to stab the tip of her finger, but she was afraid and handed it to him.

“Poke here with it.”

“What? Why all of a sudden?”

“I have something to show you.”

He cut the tip of her finger slightly.
It stung and blood droplets formed, but soon the wound disappeared in an instant.

“Now, look, what do you think? Isn’t it amazing?”

“Oh, uh… this.
What the hell?”

“Eugene said my body will not die unless my neck is cut or my heart is ripped off.”

Agnes stretched her chest out and said, smugly.
Laslo couldn’t take his eyes off the wound that healed in an instant.

“I can’t believe it even when I saw it with my own eyes.”

“So don’t worry about me now.”

“But don’t you still feel pain?”

“That’s true.”

“Then I have no choice but to worry about you for the rest of my life.”

Laslo said, kissing lightly the already healed wound.
The tips of her fingers felt hot.
The couple exchanged glances for a moment.
Agnes turned her head in shame.

“But if I can’t help it, I’ll have to use a magic spell.”

“Didn’t you say that every time you use magic, it puts a strain on your body?”

“Well.
The pain is bearable.
And after doing it several times, I got used to it.”

“Please don’t say that.”

Laslo sighed and sat close to her.

“Do you know why I made your room like a maze in Estar?”

“Why did you do that?”

“I want you to get lost and not get out of there.”

“What?”

When she made an absurd noise, Laslo hugged her back even harder.

“I know it’s stupid, but that’s what I hope for.
I wanted you to be in the safest place.”

“……I won’t die easily anymore.”

“But that doesn’t mean you won’t die.”

There was a brief consumptive argument, but Agnes’ voice ended in a subdued tone.

“When do you plan to arrest the king?”

“Next spring.
Are you sure you’re, okay?”

“What?”

“Actually, I thought you’d be very opposed to the rebellion.”

“Hmm.”

Laslo smiled faintly and kissed her forehead and cheek.

“If it were a normal situation, I might have been.
But your life is at stake here.”

“Our lives are at stake.”

“Still, I can’t say no.”

“What if only your life was at stake?”

“Hmm.”

Laslo scratched his cheek and couldn’t give an answer easily.
This alone can infer his true feelings.

Seeing that, Agnes was moved for no reason.
There was speculation that perhaps the resistance to the king in the past was to buy her time to run away.

“Laslo.”

“Hmm?”

“I’m glad I married you.”

“Is that so?”

Laslo grinned.
This time, Agnes leaned toward Laslo and put her arms around his waist.
Her love deepened day by day, and Agnes could not now see how big and deep her feelings were.
Her heart beat violently in the heat of contact.

Ten days later, the couple arrived in Sutmar.
By this time, the king would have noticed that Agnes had come out of the palace, but he would not have time to pay attention to this for a while because of the palace that has been destroyed by the beasts.

“Brother! Princess!”

When Zoltan heard the news that a carriage had arrived from the capital, Zoltan, who was the first to run, opened the carriage door.

“Zoltan.”

“Do you know how surprised I was to hear that beast appeared in the capital? You should have at least contacted me in advance!”

“I’m sorry, I don’t have time.”

“Sigh.
I really thought I had to drag the army to the capital, I was so worried that all my hair was falling out.”

Perhaps the tension has been relieved, Zoltan has been talking about it with a remarkably relieved face.
The couple entered the castle, reassuring him.

“Is everything all right with the castle?”

“It wasn’t a big deal.
Except that the beasts didn’t appear strangely.”

“That’s a relief.”

While walking around talking, Niall appeared belatedly.
His complexion was very dark.

“Have you been well, my lord, Madam?”

“What’s wrong with your face? What’s the matter?”

When Agnes asked, Niall handed an envelope from his pocket.

“This is a letter from Deor this morning.”

“Deor? The city Adrienne went to?”

“Yes.”

Agnes read the letter in haste.
The color of her face also hardened.

“What’s going on?”

“Miss Adrienne…….
She got the contagious disease.”

“Oh.”

A sigh escaped from Zoltan’s mouth.
He patted Niall on the shoulder and comforted him.

“Niall.”

“You must be tired from your long journey, so I’ll prepare, so you can rest comfortably.”

Niall picked up the letter and left quietly.
Laslo, who doesn’t know the situation yet, looks puzzled.

“He must have been close to the herbalist, right?”

“Niall proposed to Adrienne before she left.”

“Oh? Niall?”

Agnes was confused.
She was even more disturbed after learning that the second prince had fallen ill.

‘Can’t I stop the epidemic? I think the small flow changes, but the big flow is the same as before.’

Even during dinner, she didn’t know if the spoon went into her mouth or nose.

“……Madam.”

“Hmm?”

“I got a call from Ballint.
Fifteen people, including the king, participated in the investment and are moving the gold they collected here.”

“Fifteen? That many?”

Agnes asked back in astonishment.
It was even more surprising because she thought it would take about five at the most.
Andrassy said proudly.

“The royalist nobles all invested a lot of money.
Most importantly, the king invested 200 boxes of gold.”

“I can’t believe he still had so much gold.”

“By calculation, that’s probably the last gold left.
If the ship sinks in a month, it will be very dry.”

He rubbed his palms and smiled coyly.

“Great job, Andrassy.”

“Haha.
I did everything you told me to do.
By the way, there are rumors that soap is effective for plaque, it’s selling very hot these days.”

“Hmm? Didn’t I say it wasn’t for sale before?”

“Isn’t it obvious that there are fewer infectious diseases in our territory? The reason is that soap is famous.
It hasn’t even been available recently and can’t be sold.”

“Right.”

Agnes’ expression hardened again when the story of the epidemic came out.

“Do you have any more concerns?”

“Nothing.”

Agnes sent him out and could not leave the office until late at night.
Laslo took her and forced her into the bedroom.

“No matter how much work you have to do, shouldn’t you sleep?”

“I’m going to sleep.”

“Is it because of the herbalist?”

Laslo sat next to Agnes on the bed.

“It’s also because of Miss Adrienne, and I’m just worried.”

“What are you worried about?”

“Can I really change my destiny?”

At first, she was full of confidence.
Everything went different from the past she knew.
The business she touched quickly became successful and the process of meeting and persuading people was not difficult.
But in the end, the big picture was still similar to the past.

There was a war with Devon and an epidemic.

What she feared most was that all this preparation would be in vain.
