She Was Sent by God

Oh, that’s.
I’m …….
Well.
I mean, I got lost.”

Agnes stuttered and made absurd excuses.

“You’re lost? Oh no.
I’ll take you to your room.”

Emmerich reached out his arm with an indifferent look.

Agnes was agonizing if she should put her hand on his arm.

‘Did you really believe what I said?’

“Why is the duchess here…….”

Vasa and Robert came down from the Pavilion and stood in front of Agnes.

“Oh, Ms.
Vasa.
I got lost while taking a walk in the garden.”

“This is a prohibited place.”

“Oh my, Is it? I didn’t know.
Forgive me.”

Agnes tried hard to pretend to be calm.
But her heart has been beating hard since earlier.

“Emmerich.”

Vasa’s face turned cold in an instant.
Emmerich said to his sister with a light smile.

“Don’t worry.
I’ll take care of it.”

“Don’t waste time on useless things, just take care of it.”

“Okay, Robert.”

“Take Vasa and go first.”

“Yes, count.”

Vasa’s tone was so cool that I felt cold even in the hot summer.

Agnes realized then that the situation is not normal.

She tried to pull out her hand on Emmerich’s arm, but it was hard as if she had been caught in a snare.

“Shall we go now, Duchess?”

Emmerich took a small bottle out of his arms.

Agnes glared at him with great nervousness.

“Where are you taking me?”

However, as soon as Emmerich opened the lid of the bottle, she lost consciousness.

When I opened my eyes again, I had a terrible headache.

“Ugh.”

She felt like someone hit her head hard.

It was so painful that she can’t even raise her eyelids.

“Are you in pain?”

Someone asked affectionately.
Agnes shed physiological tears because of the terrible pain.

“Oh my”

The stranger’s finger touched her wet cheeks.

“I didn’t know the side effects were so severe.”

“It hurts.”

Agnes sobbed.
It hurt so much that I didn’t want to feel anything.

“Then sleep a little more.”

At the end of the words, she fell asleep magically.

* * *

The second time she woke up she came to her senses and her headache had disappeared.

Agnes grabbed her head and got up from the bed

“Oh my.
You’re awake.”

When she opened her eyes and looked, there was one of the maids who attended Agnes’ bath at that time.

“I’ll bring the count.
Please wait a moment.”

It was only after she left that Agnes could afford to look around.

It was a very colorful and spacious bedroom.

Because of the sculptures and paintings placed everywhere, it was not like a bedroom, but an exhibition hall.

Not long after the maid left, Emmerich came in.

“How are you feeling, Duchess?”

“Where am I now?”

“It’s my bedroom.”

“Why am I in your bedroom?”

“Don’t you remember?”

She remember clearly.

Hiding in the garden to overhear the conversation of the pirate king and being caught by Emmerich near the Pavilion.

“I remember”

“Then you know why you’re here.”

“It’s my fault to sneak into the garden where access is prohibited.”

Agnes tried to talk calmly, swallowing saliva in her mouth.

“No, you can go in.”

“……I didn’t mean to hide behind the Pavilion, but a bee suddenly flew in.”

“Did you get stung by a bee?”

“No, it’s not like that.”

Agnes was more awkward and scared because Emmerich’s attitude was no different from before.

“That’s a relief.”

“Hmm.
Then can I leave now?”

“Where?”

“The room where I stayed.”

“Oh.
I’ve already cleaned it up.
The Duchess can rest here from now on.”

“Clean up? What does that mean?”

Emmerich’s voice was so peaceful that Agnes did not understand for a moment what it meant.

“It’s literally the same.
I’ve moved all the luggage in your room here, so you can stay here.”

“Why am I resting in your bedroom?”

Agnes jumped up and down.

“Put my luggage back to my room right now.”

“This room will be more convenient to stay in than that.
It’s the coolest place in the castle.”

“Count.
I warn you, but if you don’t move my luggage right away……”

“What are you going to do if I don’t?”

He asked with a sweet smile as if he had honey on his mouth.

“Will you threaten me with such a piece of paper?”

A bunch of documents flapped and fell on Agnes’ leg.

These were data from Roland’s investigation of Cellon, which had been hidden in the room.

Evidence of the count’s double ledger, smuggling, and trafficking is written in detail.

“Yes! Do you think this is the only evidence? I’ve already secured all the evidence that you communicated with the pirate king.”

Agnes deliberately laid her voice dignified and erected his back firmly, but it was of little use.

This is because Emmerich burst into laughter immediately.

“What are you talking about?”

“I’m serious, I already have all the evidence in my hand that you communicated with Robert, the pirate king.”
