She Was Sent by God

e sit down.”

“Thank you.”

She wasn’t treated to a common cup of tea, but it didn’t matter.
Shw had already waited a long time, so she immediately got to the point.

“The reason I came to the temple today is to apologize for the rudeness of the Lord Arpad.”

“….is that so?”

“I got the news late because I was taking care of my health.
There was a misunderstanding.”

“What do you mean misunderstanding?”

Katerina smiled as she faced Agnes.

“The Duke of Arpad seemed to have great confidence.
I’ve told him several times that it was a misunderstanding, but he didn’t listen.”

“I deeply apologize for that on behalf of the duke.
He had a big misunderstanding.
It’s all just an unexpected accident.
When the duke comes back, we’ll come together and clear up the misunderstanding.”

Agnes bowed her head and apologized repeatedly.
Katerina just looked at her, sitting across without saying a word.

“Are you feeling well?”

“I feel better.”

“That’s a relief.
Your Excellency was very worried that day.”

Perhaps because of accumulated years of experience, Katerina did not easily reveal her feelings.

As time passed, she became more anxious.
The silence grew longer because she couldn’t speak up prematurely.

Then, as if suddenly remembered, Katerina spoke out of nowhere.

“Do you know why the ritual of oath is increasingly being forgotten by people?”

“There must be a big problem with succession.”

“That is also a problem, but when one side dies, the mental impact on the remaining side is very great.
It completely collapsed and it’s hard to get back up.”

“Is that so?”

After she collapsed, she heard that Laslo was acting like a scumbag.

Actually, she thought it was complacent.

Because of that, she thought that she could fully bear the risk of the oath ceremony.

“There are some requests from the temple to correct this misunderstanding.”

“Please speak comfortably.”

“I have already sent it in writing through someone.”

Katerina stood up at the end of the sentence.
Her face was pale but calm.

Agnes, who had prepared to receive the High Priest’s anger, was puzzled when the task ended so easily unexpectedly.

“Thank you.
High Priest.”

“You don’t have to thank me.”

She turned around and looked straight at Agnes.

“What do you mean?”

“Because the Duke Arpad already paid the price.”

“He paid for it?”

“You will find out when he returns.”

Katerina left only one indifferent word and issued a congratulatory order.

Agnes went back to the castle, leaving his troubled mind behind.
Just in time, Zoltan greeted her.

“Princess! Welcome.
There’s something we need to discuss.….”

“Sir Zoltan.
I mean.
We just came back from the temple.
You must have something to say to me?”

“That, that…….”

Agnes, as she had done to Niall, poured out harsh rebukes, even worse than him.

Niall, who was standing behind him, stuck his tongue out.

Thanks to that, Zoltan couldn’t even raise his head in front of Agnes for a while.

Ten days have passed since Agnes went to the temple.

It was a short time, but a lot of things happened.

“Madam.
This is a report on the armor we produced this month.”

“We are experiencing a surge in light sphere orders; how do we deal with it?”

“I have started harvesting wheat, how much should I leave out for military use?”

“Shall we send the harvest offerings requested by the temple now?”

The castle, which had stood still, in other words, paralyzed after Laslo’s departure, began to roll quickly.

Agnes frantically dealt with the big things and small things of the castle.

“It’s soap that Miss Adrienne made with the wizards.”

“Oh.
Is the finished product finally out?”

“Yes.”

Aspel, the new administrator to assist her, put out a square soap.

The surface was rough and the scent was not good, unlike what the aristocrats usually use, but it doesn’t matter.

“What’s the effect?”

“It’s less foamy, but there’s no big difference compared to whale oil soap.”

“Very good.”

Agnes smiled satisfactorily with it.

It was no coincidence that Adrienne collaborated with wizards to make soap at a time when preparations for war were in full swing.

– So, no matter how much you find a cure, if you are not clean, you can get sick again.

– Then how can you maintain that cleanliness?

– It would be better if you just wipe your body clean with soap, or even if you wash your hands frequently… ….

– Hmm.
Soap is a luxury.
The quantity is not enough to distribute to soldiers.

– Then, um…….
Should I try making it?

– You? soap? Can you do something like that?

– Yes! I learned it at school.

Adrien smiled brightly and nodded her head.
