She Was Sent by God

terrified.
Agnes buried her face in the blanket and wept.

‘I haven’t even told you I love you yet.’

The words she wanted to say first when he returned.

I’m sorry for telling you so late, and now I decided to tell you every morning whenever I meet you.

She cried endlessly, as if to drain the moisture from her body.
No matter how much Ney comforted her by her side, it was of no use.

It was painful, as if a hole had been pierced in her chest.

Eventually Agnes fell asleep from crying.

Then she came to her senses at the affectionate and friendly touch.
Someone was stroking her hair.

Agnes shed tears again as soon as she realized whose hand it was.
She cried so much that her eyes were sore.

She struggled to open her eyes and opened her mouth to the man sitting next to her.

“My hands and feet… I feel numb.”

“They said you were dehydrated from crying so much.”

He brought a cup of water from the table.
Since Agnes’ hands are trembling, Laslo put the glass directly around her mouth.

After she had completely emptied the glass, the tremors subsided little by little.

Neither Agnes nor Laslo opened their mouths first.

She wanted him to talk but at the same time she’s scared to hear what he would say.

– The most terrible thing is when the other person has a change of heart.
The ritual of oath is a ritual that binds the soul, not the mind.
When the other person has a change of heart later, it will remain a great pain for both of them.

It’s a thought that she has never thought of or considered, but what Katerina said was sharp like a thorn.

She felt like her brain was going to explode.

Even thinking about the plausible reason for why he suddenly changed his mind after returning from the capital, it was still hopeless.

The most likely reason was the terrible assumption that Laslo had a lover.

‘If that’s true….’

After taking a deep breath and clearing her trembling heart, she tried to pretend to be calm and opened her mouth.

“I am your wife and Duchess of Arpad.”

“I know.”

“I can never accept an illegitimate child.”

“Illegitimate child?”

“But having a successor is a long-standing practice in a noble society, so I can overlook it once.”

Agnes clenched her teeth and spit out each word.
Laslo furrowed his eyebrows, unable to keep up with the flow of the conversation.

“What the hell are you talking about?”

“But I don’t ever want to see it with my own eyes.
Don’t even think about bringing him to Estar.”

Suddenly, an uncontrollable rage erupted.

The green-eyed monster hiding in the deepest part occupied her head.

“No, I can’t allow it! Are you having an affair? You and I are a couple who swore in front of God! How dare you break that!”

“What?”

“How many things have I accomplished here for you; how dare you betray me?”

“Agnes.”

Laslo tried to calm her down, but it was useless.

“I even bowed my head and apologized to the high priest so that you would not be dismissed.
Except for the royal family, I have never bowed my head down to anyone!”

“Did you release the priests because of that?”

“Then did you intend to keep the nineteen innocent priests in prison?”

“Who’s not guilty? Who can conclude that they are innocent?”

Laslo’s tone became as sharp and dark as a rock deep in the sea floor.

Agnes tried to refute immediately, but Laslo was faster.

“You drank alcohol prepared by the temple and you vomited blood.
Whether the glass is poisoned or not, it’s their responsibility.”

“Poison? So, what evidence did you find? It was just an accident.”

Agnes regained her composure and glared at her husband, clutching the blanket tightly.

“It’s just that my body wasn’t in sync with the ritual.
It’s not poison.”

“If your body wasn’t in sync with the ritual, you shouldn’t have done it in the first place.”

“Isn’t that something no one knew about? It wasn’t their fault in the first place.”

“…Yes.
That’s right.
I’m not blaming them.
It’s all my fault.”

“Laslo, it was just an accident.
It’s not anyone’s fault.”

He lowered his head and ruffled his hair fiercely with both hands.

As the harsh breathing subsided, Agnes broke the silence.

“Isn’t there anything else you need to say to me?”

“What are you talking about?”

“A confession that you had a change of heart and is dating another woman.”

“Ha!”

Laslo raised his face and let out a harsh laugh.
He looked straight into her eyes and spoke.

“A change of heart? I wish I had.”

“What?”

She muttered low.
Agnes grabbed his arm at an unexpected answer.

“What does that mean?”

“That’s why you mentioned an illegitimate child.
Don’t worry.
wife.
My heart beats only for you.”

Even in a romantic sentence, it did not completely erase the long sarcasms in it.
