“Oh, is Joseph your son?”

“Do you know my son?”

“Of course.
I know him well.”

Agnes smiled brightly.

“Do you know what he said when we met in the corridor before? Oh, that I don’t know anything because I am too young.”

“What?”

Norbert’s number of times of wiping his forehead with a handkerchief increased sharply.

“I remember very vividly that he said, how could I meet lowly merchants without caring about the prestige and dignity as the wife of the Duke Arpad”

“How dare Josef say that to the Duke’s wife?”

“Yeah.
I was so shocked that I clearly remember.”

Agnes pointed to the door with a kind and sweet face.

“So, Get out.”

“Duchess.
I’m so sorry.
Because I taught my children wrong.
How dare him say that to Madam”

“What’s there to be sorry about?” Your son is the problem.
So, can you get out of here? My heart hurts like it’s going to break.”

Norbert offered a few more excuses and apologies, but had to leave without any profit.

After that, there were many households who visited her and demanded financial support.

Agnes allowed only a small part of it and calmly beat the rest.

Then they went to Laslo instead of Agnes and complained about there poor situation.

“Oh, princess.”

When he found her, he jumped up from his seat.

“What’s going on?”

“Hmm.
I think our conversation will be a little long, so sit down.”

Agnes sat opposite Laslo.
Ney gave me a warm tea.

“For the past few days, vassals have been constantly coming to ask for financial support.”

“I know.
I gave it to someone who really needs it.”

“Why don’t you give others a chance?”

“Others? Who?”

“Inga and Kairen are having a hard time these days.
So please give them a chance.”

“Chance?”

Agnes smiled and muttered the word.

Laslo Arpad is definitely a good lord.

He has never lost his fairness in dealing with the vassals.
Even if they made a mistake, he would understand generously.

However, the benevolent nature sometimes comes to someone terribly.

“Duke Arpad.
Treat me as the hostess of the castle or as royalty.”

“What are you talking about?””

Laslo asked.

“If you treat me like the hostess of the castle, acknowledge that I have the authority to manage finances, and if you treat me like royalty, cut off the tongue of those who despise the princess.”

“Princess.”

The Duke’s face hardened a little by her words.

“I heard even a little bit of the insults I’ve received from them since I came to this castle.
I don’t think I can give them a chance so easily.”

She spoke calmly.
In Agnes’ eyes, there was no resentment or criticism against Laslo.

“…I didn’t know there was friction with the vassals.
It’s my fault.”

“That’s right.
It’s the Duke’s fault.
Sometimes ignorance is more severe than any evil.”

“…….”

“Do you know what I heard from them? Did you know that the vassals gathered to say that I, the useless princess was abandoned by the king without any dowry had to be married?”

Agnes’ voice was neither loud nor small.

“That I was ignored because I were young and didn’t know how to behave”

“……”

“Are you going to tell me to give them a chance when they meet me in the hallway and they just pass by me without a greeting?”

He simply heard that Agnes did not provide financial support to the vassals.

I didn’t think deeply about why she made that decision.

“That’s how much it was?”

His sigh was long and deep.

“I heard that after I rejected them, they came to the Duke, bowed down and begged for mercy.
Can’t you see this? They don’t consider me the hostess of the castle?”

“……”

Laslo is speechless.

“Do I have to endure more?”

Agnes looked straight at him and asked.

In the past, I thought I had to endure it.

Since I am a powerless princess, a princess who came without a dowry, and a princess abandoned in the palace, I tried hard to suppress myself by counting my situation.

I buried my face in a pillow at night and cried silently, So Ney won’t hear me cry.

“Princess·····.”

Laslo couldn’t raise his head straight because of the guilt that was rushing in.
The day was hot.

I thought I would just let everyone know that she is the hostess of the castle.

I said it was for her, but I didn’t really care much about what she was doing.

Agnes drank cold tea.
The tip of her tongue is bitter.

The two had a hard time opening their mouths for their own reasons.

“There’s no reason or need for you to endure.”

First, it was the duke that broke the silence.

He looked hurt as if he had been stabbed by a thorn just by opening his mouth.

“I don’t know what to say because I’m ashamed”

Laslo closed his eyes for a long time and opened them.

“It wouldn’t be a bad idea to give the vassals another chance.”

Agnes said.
Laslo shook his head.

“No.
The princess is right.
Ignorance is sometimes worse than evil.
I didn’t do anything right.
I’m ashamed of myself.”

“Thank you for understanding.””

“Besides, managing the castle’s finances is definitely the right of the hostess, but I rushed and meddled.
I’ll leave it entirely to the princess.

She nodded instead of answering.

“Princess.”

“Huh?”

“I’m sorry.
I ask for your forgiveness.
It’s definitely my fault that you heard such harsh words.”

“……”

He bowed his head down.

The teacup is steaming.  The warmth faded over his face and then disappeared.

“I already have”

“…..”

She put her mouth on the cup and sipped over the warm tea water.

“I forgave you a long time ago.””

“A long time ago?”

“A long time ago.
The moment the Duke can’t remember.”

When your limbs were severed for me, when you didn’t give me to Sebastian, when you told Zoltan to take me to the mountain.

When you called me your wife

“So stop and raise your head.”

“There is only one thing I want from you.”

“one thing?”

Laslo asked.
Whatever she said, he is about to listen to anything.

“I don’t want the Dukd to die because of me.”

“…is that all?”

Laslo asked back with a puzzled face.

“That’s all.”

That’s all Agnes wants.

“Oh well, You have to line up!”

“Hey.
I’ve been standing here since 2 days ago.
When can I see the doctor?”

The woman carrying the child asked with an earnest face.

“Wait a little longer.
Since there aren’t many people left.”

He gave the woman an answer and went back to the humming people.

“What’s going on?”

I came in with a light heart when the hospital opened, and I was surprised.

The area around the hospital was crowded.
The long line that started from the entrance shows no end.

“When did the hospital open?”

“About 10 days ago.”

Naill, who came with me, replied.

“But there are so many people already?”

“There was already a rumor since the stage of the hospital’s construction.
It’s a golden opportunity to treat the poor for free.”

“I see.”

Agnes looked closely at the people in line.
Various military figures stood with sick faces.

“Give them some bread or something.
If they stand for a long time, they’ll be hungry.”

“I’ll do that.
Ma’am.”

The hospital was full of people.
Naill managed to beat them and find Adrienne.

“Madam.”

When Agnes came in, Adrienne jumped up and welcomed her.

“I was worried that only flies would fly.”

“I didn’t know it would be this crowded.”

A smile came to Adrienne’s face.

“Aren’t you tired?””

“I’m happy.”

Even in the middle of winter, sweat drops are formed on the forehead.

She couldn’t sleep properly for a few days, but she can’t hide the overflowing joy.

“I’m so happy.”

Adrien said again.

“I want someone to meet a doctor today and survive.
I hope they won’t  be in pain too much.
That’s all I want.”

Agnes had a strange feeling.  She thought she could understand Adrienbe, but she didn’t.

“What else do you need?”

“Well, people are the most problematic.
I didn’t expect them to gather this much.”

“I think I can help you with that.”

Agnes winked at Naill standing behind her.

“Let’s talk with Adrienne”.

“Thank you ma’am.”

“Don’t sweat it too much.
If you burn it at once, it will fade easily.”

“Yes.”

I left the hospital door after seeing Adrienne off.

I was on my way to ride a wagon, but I noticed a lot of people stamping their feet in front of the hospital waiting for my turn.

“If you need anything more, don’t hesitate to ask for help.
I am a person who is happy to help others.”

Agnes said as he climbed the carriage with the help of Niall

“Okay.”
