She Was Sent by God

and hard voice.

“The bed, hmmm.
You said it’s too big.”

Then, he slowly came closer to the bed.

If it were usual, she would have welcomed him by popping the seat next to her, but Agnes remained expressionless.

As he sat down on the bed without saying a word, Laslo looked into Agnes’ eyes and said:

“You don’t look good.
Did something happen?”

“There was.”

“Hmm? What’s going on?”

“I found out that Niall was not reporting something very important to me.”

“What? Niall?”

He asked in surprise.

“What is it that didn’t he report?”

“He didn’t tell me at all that he had been preparing for the war since the duke came down from the capital.”

“Ah…….”

“This is too much; don’t you think so?”

“……..”

“Why aren’t you talking?”

Laslo kept his mouth open for a moment with a troubled expression.
Agnes looked at him with arms crossed.
He opened his mouth after a moment of silence.

“I didn’t mean to hide it on purpose, I was going to tell you about it when the time comes.”

“When is that?”

Agnes’ face hardened coldly.

Laslo did not open his mouth for a long time, but finally spoke at Agnes’ urging.

“So, soon.
I was going to tell you right after the harvest.”

“Harvest? HA! You mean you were trying to hide it right before the war?”

“…….”

“The Duke said I was the owner of Sutmar but made me a fool who actually knew nothing.
Do you know how absurd it was to hear that story from the people below?”

“I’m sorry.
I thought you’d be worried openly if you knew I was going to war.”

“What?”

Agnes doubted what she heard for a moment.
Laslo did not see her puzzled face.

“My thoughts were short.
You are also the owner of Sutmar.
From now on, for sure.”

“Wait a minute.

“Hmm?”

“Where are you going? War? Why are you going to war?”

“Oh…..you haven’t heard about that yet.”

Laslo’s face looked completely frustrated.
Agnes snatched his wrist.

“What does that mean? Please explain it properly.”

Agnes exclaimed frantically.

Half of her face was hard to see because of the shadows.
Laslo sighed briefly.

“It’s literally the same.
I’m going to war.”

“Why?”

In the past, Zoltan went to war.
That’s the right case.

It is rather rare for the head of state to go directly to war.

Marquis Kiske had already grown-up children, so it was acceptable.

So, it doesn’t make sense for Laslo, who doesn’t even have a proper successor, to go to war.

“How about Lord Zoltan? Isn’t it natural for him to go to war?”

“It should be.”

“Then why are you going to war?”

“……”

“Are you worried about sending Sir Zoltan away? Of course, it can be worrisome.
But don’t worry too much.
He will surely come back safely.”

In fact, Zoltan returned healthy without any injuries other than minor bruises.

“It’s not because of that.”

“Then why does the Duke of Arpad go to war himself?”

Laslo shut his mouth with an ambiguous expression on his face.
Agnes beat his chest in frustration.

“It’s not like you need to achieve something from the war or you don’t have anyone to send, right?”

“Hmm.”

“There must be someone who forces you to go to war…….”

Agnes stopped talking.

There’s only one person.

There is someone in this country who can force the Duke of Arpad.

“It’s Sebastian.”

Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense.
There is no reason for Laslo to go to war unless the king puts pressure on him.

Her face turned cold in an instant.

“Did the king black mailed you? Is he going to kill me if you don’t go to war?”

“No.”

“Then?”

“I’m not going to war out of fear, I just made a deal with the king.”

“You made a deal?”

“Yeah.
It was an important deal.”

“What is it? What kind of deal did you make to risk your life on the battlefield?”

Laslo laughed out of context at her serious question.
Seeing that, she felt frustrated as if her throat was clogged.

“Why are you laughing?”

“Because I’m glad you’re worrying about me.”

“If you’re so happy, feel free to tell me.
What kind of deal did you make with the king?”

“Do you trust me?”

He said it out of the blue.
Agnes stared at him to gauge the intention of the question.

She said abruptly.

“I trust you, of course.”

“Then please don’t ask what the deal was.”

“But…”

Agnes pursed his lips.
Laslo just laughed.

“You were going to go to sleep earlier, right? Lay down first.
I’ll just change my clothes and come.”

“Okay.”

There were a lot of things she wanted to say, but nothing came out of her mouth.

She also remembered forcing her to trust him in the early days of their marriage, so she couldn’t ask for more.

Shortly after lying down, Laslo turned off the light and lay down next to her.
