the altar were all kinds of fragrant flowers, wine, a small dagger and two wine glasses.

The center was decorated with white cloth and flowers, reminiscent of a wedding hall.

Priests in white robes lined up on both sides to welcome the duke and his wife.

Laslo and Agnes passed between them and stood in front of the altar.

Katerina quietly poured the drink into the two glasses.

“The ritual is not difficult.
All you have to do is mix alcohol and each other’s blood in the glass I gave you, memorize a spell, and drink it together.”

She held out the dagger to Laslo first.
Laslo poked his fingertips, dripping a few drops of blood into the glass.

“Ahh….
I can’t.
you do it.”

When it was her turn, Agnes was afraid and did not take the dagger.

“Okay.
Give me your hand.”

“Here.”

Soon there was blood dripping from her thumb.

The inside of the two glasses was red with the blood of two people.

“Now follow what I’m saying.”

Katerina began to chant long spells.
Laslo and Agnes eagerly followed it.

“You can drink it now.”

Laslo looked at Agnes with his glass up.
Agnes looked straight into his eyes and put the glass in her mouth first.

The fishy smell touched her nose first.
It was a strong liquor, so it burned her tongue and neck one after another and crossed her esophagus.

Laslo soon emptied his glass.

Katerina went to retrieve the empty glass without a word.

“Is this the end?”

“Yes.”

“It’s really simple.
If I knew this I’d have done it sooner.”

Agnes muttered in a small voice.

Surprisingly, nothing happened.

The world did not turn upside down.

Nevertheless, this moment felt very special.

The scent of flowers tickling the tip of her nose, the faint smile on Laslo’s lips, and her bitter and hot throat.

All of that was engraved in Agnes’ mind as a memory.

She felt like it was something she would never forget.

“Agnes?”

As she stared blankly at Laslo, he took a step forward.

Suddenly, she remembered the day when she first had a conversation with Laslo in the shrine.

– I think it’s enough to call you a princess.

She thought he was a blunt and cold man.
Even after living together for three years, she had no idea who he was.

She knew nothing about what he liked or how he looked when he smiled.

“I remember the first time I saw the Duke.”

“Hmm?”

“I thought you hated me.”

“Me? You?”

Laslo hurriedly waved his hand.

“No, it’s not like that at all.”

“Now I know how much you cherish me?”

Agnes smiled broadly at him.
The three years we had passed by like a lantern.

The beginning and end came to mind clearly.

“How much the Duke loves me.”

As she said that sentence, her heart tickled.
Laslo’s straight and upright dark green eyes were visible.

More than anything, the night when she heard sweet words from his lips while covered in blankets, whispering that he loves her, she was dazzled.

Love.

Oh, it’s love.

Like lightning, Agnes had some realization.

A huge emotion that could no longer be denied or pretend not to know and ran from far away, hit Agnes.

Every time I saw him, I smiled for no reason, and I finally understood why I felt the fear as if my intestines were pouring out when I heard that Laslo was going to a dangerous place.

“Laslo.”

“Huh?”

Agnes reached out to him.

‘I like you too.’

Can I fully convey this great heart? Her voice and lips trembled at the same time.

It was then.

A violent cough poured out.
It was so strong that her lungs hurt.

At the same time, her vision was shaking and couldn’t see clearly.

“Gasp.”

The fishy and red liquid flowed down from her lips

It hurts.

The stabbing pain suddenly came.

“Agnes!”

Laslo ran toward her with his eyes wide open.

Her legs that were supporting her body loosened helplessly.

If Laslo hadn’t grabbed her by the waist, she would have collapsed on the spot

“Agnes, come to your senses! Agnes.
Doctor! Call the Doctors now!”

Her ears feel numb.
Her eyes were blurred and her heart was hot.

It was difficult to breathe as if her head was sore and her lungs were shrinking.

Agnes managed to open her mouth.

“La, huh, Laslo…”

“Stop talking.
The Doctor will come soon.
So, Wait.
Wait a minute.
Huh? Please.
Oh.
Agnes, Agnes.”

‘I have to say I love you’

I realized it too late, and now I have to say I’m sorry.

Contrary to her will, her consciousness is gradually becoming blurred.

Now it was hard to open her eyes properly.

The only thing that could be seen dimly was Laslo’s face and the hem of the bloody dress.

“Is he still far away! Doctor! Agnes, open your eyes.
Agnes!”

His arms hugging her body are quite warm.
It was surprisingly comfortable.

And Agnes’ shallow consciousness was cut off there.
