I’m Going to Marry a Poor Count in the Middle of Nowhere and I’m Going to Work Hard to Reform My Territory

dgar Barthes is the man’s name, and he used to be a soldier stationed at the city gates.

While many of the soldiers were commoners, Barthes’ superior was the third son of a lesser nobleman who made unreasonable demands on him.
He frequently requested money.

When Barthes refused, he was accused of being the perpetrator of a theft in the barracks.

Because his superior was also a lesser nobleman, Barthes was blamed without any investigation.
Barthes was fired from his job, and as an ex-convict, he struggled to find work and ended up working as a bouncer in the Krim.

“Please this girl is…”

The wife of Roland Barthes embraces her daughter.

‘She’s ill…’

“It’s alright…”

Angelique interrupted Mrs.
Barthes, saying she understood most of what she was saying.

She squatted down a bit and brought the child in her mother’s arms to eye level.

“What’s your name?”

“Marie…”

“Marie, where does it hurt?”

“My chest… It’s difficult to breathe…”

She looked Marie in the eyes, nodded, and rose to her feet.

“Frederick, have someone take Marie and Mrs.
Barthes to the nearest estate later.”

“Is Morell all right? A doctor who specializes in pediatric medicine came last month.”

Angelique turned to thank the capable butler.

“Thank you.
As one would expect from the Duke of Montan’s butler.”

“It is an honor.”

When she was about to leave the Krim neighborhood, she felt someone watching her as she reached the carriage parked on the main street and looked around.
But she didn’t recognize anyone.

“Ojo-sama, this is a very dangerous place.”

Frederick suspected that another robber was after them and ordered his men to bring them out from the Krim neighborhood immediately.

Back at the castle, Marlene announced, “His Majesty has written back,” and handed Angelique the letter.

The audience was permitted, and the date two days later was written on it.

“It came sooner than I anticipated.”

Serge has been gone for two days since he left the castle at noon today.
He’ll most likely return tomorrow afternoon or evening.

She expected the letter to arrive later, depending on the schedule, but everything appears to be in order.

‘All I need to do now is call Charlotte, but should I keep an eye on her just in case? But we’ve done everything in such a rush that I doubt she will notice.’

While she was thinking this, she was walking toward the detached palace in the setting sun.

She didn’t have a lady-in-waiting with her because she needed some alone time.

As she walked through the courtyard, she heard quick footsteps coming from behind her.

Angelique’s eyes widened as she turned around.

It happened so quickly.

“Charlotte!”

Charlotte held a dagger in her hand, fast approaching.
