you agree to go to the hunting ground with the king knowing what kind of disaster we would face?”

“If he wanted to kill me, he would’ve done it already.”

 

Agnes said.

 

“Let’s stop here, Duke.
I feel sick and I don’t have the strength to stand.”

Only then did Laslo realize that Agnes’ complexion was very pale and hugged her shoulder in surprise.

 

“Let’s hurry up and go back.
I called a doctor in advance.”

 

Agnes only smiled faintly.

Laslo helped her out of the palace quickly.

The road back to the townhouse by carriage felt very long.

As soon as Agnes returned to the mansion, she ran straight to her room.

Several maids who knew the situation entered together.

 

“The duchess told me not to let you in.”

 

Laslo was forced to stamp his feet and waited for hours in front of the door.

It was long after the sun had set that Agnes’s door was opened.

 

“She’s sleeping.”

 

Ney quietly opened the door and came out to announce Agnes’ condition.

 

“How is she?”

“Her throat is a little bad, but she took the medicine given by the doctor right away, so she’ll be okay.
Fortunately, she didn’t have a fever this time.”

 

As soon as he heard Ney, Laslo went inside, straight to the bed where Agnes was.

She was lying in the middle of the bed, looking pale.
Laslo felt pain on one side of his chest just by looking at her.

I was distressed by the sense of helplessness that there was nothing I could do for her.

He clenched his fist in the air as he tried to reach for Agnes.

I was in the same situation just a few months ago, but it felt completely different from then.

There is no blood on her pale face.

Laslo opened his hand very carefully and swept her cheek away.

Agnes was frowning a lot as if she had a painful dream.

He gently pressed between her eyebrows.

Only then did her face stretch a little.

 

“Agnes…”

 

He wanted to hug her as hard as he can.
Sometimes he wanted to kiss her when she is smiling in front of him.

When he heard that she feels sick, his heart beat like crazy and anxiously.

When he saw Count Cellon dancing with her with a smile, he wanted to get the Count out of the spot immediately and lock Agnes in his arms.

He didn’t know what to do whenever he was engulfed in a violent emotion that he had never felt before.

 

“Agnes.”

 

He muttered her name once again.
That was the only thing he could say.

The longer they spent together, the deeper his heart grew.

Laslo did not leave Agnes’ side until late at night.

The king pulled the bow tightly.
The deer brought by the hunter was running their way.

Sebastian set up a demonstration.
After a long wait.

 

“It’s a hit!”

 

Said the mallard.

Agnes watched a deer with a neck pierced with an arrow die next to Sebastian.

Perhaps avoiding the fatal injury, the deer kept waking up and falling down.

Sebastian reached out to the knight next to him.
The knight carefully pulled out his sword and handed it over.

 

“Agnes.
Pain can make people grow.”

“……..”

“Sometimes there are meaningless pains.”

 

The king hit the deer’s neck as it was.
Hot blood splashed on his face.

The servant approached and handed over a wet towel.

Sebastian looked back at Agnes, wiping his bloody face.

 

“The former can stand it, but the latter can’t.
Don’t you think so?”

“That’s right, your highness.”

 

Agnes lowered her eyes and swallowed the saliva in her mouth.

He handed the sword he was holding back to the knight.

 

“Come to think of it, I’ve never seen Duke Arpad’s hunting skills.”

“It’s nothing compared to your highness.”

“Haha.
Don’t bring yourself down.
You’re a knight with a good reputation in swordsmanship.”

 

After catching three deer, Sebastian urged the two to go catch a fox.

Laslo said, sneaking past Agnes.

 

“Don’t ever stay away from me.”

 

Agnes nodded delicately instead of answering.

From far away, the hunter began to drive the fox with a hound.

With the barking sound, the fox appeared in the bushes.

Sebastian pulled the bow again tightly.

A fox with orange fur ran with a mouth like a beast aiming at me.

The barking of the hound is getting closer.

It was then.

The king suddenly turned around and changed the direction of the arrowhead.

Laslo instinctively moved the horse in front of Agnes as if covering her.

Sebastian’s eyes twinkled.  He looked straight at Agnes.

The arrow flew right away.
