“I think the song is already over.”

It may be her illusion, but he sounded like he was angry.

 

“Sir Duke.”

 

Only then did Emmerich take off his hand on Agnes’ waist and take a few steps back.

 

“Can I take Agnes now?”

“Of course.”

 

He left with a light silence.
Laslo filled the spot.

The second song has begun.
Laslo politely reached out his hand.

 

“Let me have the honor of dancing with you.”

“I allow it.”

 

Agnes put her hand on his arm and got ready.

 

Laslo’s hand reached the spot Emmerich had touched earlier, without a single error.

 

“The first dance……”

 

He muffled his speech, unusually.

 

“I wanted to be with you for the first dance.”

“Oh.”

 

Agnes, who was taking steps without thinking, raised her head and looked at him.

 

“Oh, my.
I didn’t know.”

 

Is that why you have a dark expression? Agnes became a little sorry.

 

“Do you know Count Cellon well?”

“Well, I’ve seen him in the palace a few times.”

“You looked very close.”

“We don’t have a bad relationship.”

 

Agnes replied calmly.

 

“What did you talk about earlier? That you were laughing while dancing?”

 

He asked strangely persistent.
Agnes thought it was a little strange, but she passed it lightly.

 

“Did I laugh?”

 “You laughed after the first verse.
And after the second verse and After a turn around.”

 

Laslo described exactly where Agnes laughed as if he had waited.

She looked at him with strange eyes.

 

“Were you watching me?”

I said it half joking.

 

She thought he would flounder and stutter as usual.

But Laslo didn’t do that.

 

“Yeah.”

 

His dark green eyes quickly came close to her nose.

 

“I was watching you.”

“……”

“Who you are with and what you do.
Even how many times you smiled when you danced with another man.
Everything.”

“…Hmmm.”

 

For some reason, her face became warm and she was embarrassed to make eye contact with him, so she turned her head first.

 

“It wasn’t a big deal.”

“Am I not supposed to know?”

“No.
It’s just that before I got married to the Duke, Chavolti asked the Count to do me a favor.”

“What kind of favor?”

“The atmosphere on Sebastian’s side is unusual, so he asks him to propose a marriage to me.”

 

Laslo is quiet.
His face was so expressionless that she didn’t know what he was thinking.

It was a move that made two turns, so I let go of his hand and came back again.

When she returned, Laslo suddenly stopped dancing and hugged her strongly.

Men and women circling around passed by.

 

“Huh? Duke?”

“You’re already the Duchess of Arpad.”

“That’s right, isn’t it”

 

I was puzzled by his sudden behavior because it was unfamiliar.

 

“I, ha….”

 

Laslo couldn’t talk easily.
With a voice that seems to suppress something,

 

“Agnes.”

 

He just called her name.

She buried her head in his arms and caressed him on the back.

 

“I told the count.”

“……”

“Even if I die and come back to the past.”

 

Laslo opened his closed eyes and gave Agnes a look.

 

“I will still come to Arpad.”

Surprisingly, the man smiled broadly with his wrinkled forehead blooming.

 

“Okay.”

 

The strength to the hug has become stronger.
Through their touching body, she felt his heart beating hard.

 Hearing that beating, Agnes strangely felt her stomach churning.

The banquet lasted until deep night.
The center of the topic was by far the light sphere

The nobleman, who received the light sphere, looked at it and talked about Arpad’s amazing wealth.

 

“I can’t believe they’re making this using mana stones.”

“Did you see it before? The outer side of the castle is covered with hundreds of light spheres.”

“Where did you get all those Mana stones?”

“Did you find a Mana stone mine on your land?”

 

Of course, Agnes did not answer their questions.

She just smiled and turned her head around.

She defeated the crowded aristocrats and crept up to the person she was looking for.

 

“Count Barania, you’re here.”

 ”Duchess.”

 

A brown-haired woman bowed lightly with her knees bent.

 

“Thank you for coming.”

“I owe something to the Duke of Arpad.”

 

She drew the line with a broken tone.
She is blunt and has a cold face.

Agnes tried to face her smiling.

 

“But I’m thankful that you came.”

 

I know well why the count is so hard on me.

 Count Barania was nothing less than Sebastian’s right hand even before he became a king.

In addition, she was at the forefront when Sebastian invaded Sutmar in the past due to her excellent sword skills.

The Order led by her was one of the king’s most powerful troops.

 

“I heard Count’s daughter won a tournament.
You must be proud.
I can’t believe she won this year.
From mother to daughter.”

“She still lacks a lot.”

 

Winning the tournament is one of the best honors a knight can have.

She pretended to be gentle, but pride passed by the count’s eyes.

 

“It’s not enough? Everyone was praising that the best knight came out.”

 

Agnes has never seen the count’s eldest daughter in person, but has heard from rumors.

The knight she was most looking forward to will collapsed in vain on the battlefield in future.

The story that Count Barania sobbed over his eldest daughter’s coffin for three days was so famous that Agnes, who was on the western side, heard it.

In addition, as far as she remembers, the youngest daughter died unfortunately before her eldest daughter, making her even more shocked.

“What a great family.”

 

She made a gentle mouthful sound, but the count did not budge.

 

“Did Count see this?”

 

Agnes received the light sphere from a servant she opened the box herself.

 

“Hmm.”

 

For the first time, her mouth wriggled.
She must be fascinated.

 

“Okay, I’m going to give you a few, Let’s talk whenever you need more.”

 

The Count, who was hesitating whether to accept it or not, was forced to take the light sphere.

She hesitated to the end, even though she wasn’t bribing.

 

“Thank you.”

 

The count bowed politely and greeted.

 

‘I can’t make her on my side right away.’

 

Agnes smiled broadly and left the count.

“It was such a beautiful banquet.”

 

When dawn began, people left the banquet hall one by one.

Before Erica leaves, she approaches and says goodbye.

 

“I’d like to invite you to Nouyen next time.
Duchess.”

 

Milan sneakily approached and talked to her.

 

“If I have a chance.”

 

Agnes smiled lightly and saw off the Kiske siblings.

 

“Can I see you again?”

 

Emmerich said with a soft smile when he came.

 

“Sutmar always will always welcome you Count.”

 

“The Princess too?”

“Of course.”

 

Then Emmerich laughed out loud and left a short kiss on her hand.

It was after the sun was completely up that the guests who came to the banquet left the castle completely.

Agnes was exhausted, so she couldn’t take off her clothes properly and lay down on the bed as if she were collapsing.

When I woke up from a good night’s sleep, almost a day had passed.

 

“Oh, are you up? Should I bring you a meal?”

 

Ney rushed over and asked.

 

“No.
I have no appetite.
More than that, do you have any more letters to me?”

“No.
I don’t think so.
Are you waiting for something?”

“Oh, there is.”

 

A maid put a letter on a silver tray and brought it.

One was a letter to Chavolti and the other to Roland.

Agnes opened Roland’s first without hesitation.

The letter wasn’t long.
However, all the information she wanted was written.

 

Trading beyond the black wall.  Insider Verified.>

 

Her eyes shined subtly.

What do you mean a black wall?

An unexpected word was caught.

There was no big expectation when she asked Roland to conduct a background investigation of Cellon.

In the future Agnes knew, Cellon only silently defended the southern border.

But she can’t believe he was secretly dealing in a place where the country banned exchanges.

Maybe I can use this to attract him.

Agnes instructed him to write down more details and send them.

“At the beginning, I’m going to divide what I’m going to sell to the aristocrats and the commoners.
Well, I think we should have at least.”

 

When Andrassy heard that Agnes had woken up, he ran to her like crazy and asked to meet her.

 

“I only showed the light sphere to the aristocrats.
Are you sure about that?”

 

Then Andrassy raised the corners of his mouth and laughed.

 

“Madam, trust me.
All the nobles who saw the light sphere today will write to buy it.”

“Really?”

 

Four days later, Agnes realized that what he had said was correct.

Niall brought a pile of letters.

 

“It’s all related to the light sphere.”

 

Andrassy, who was next to her, look at Agnes with a confident face.

 

“Then to the wizards…”

“I’ve already instructed them to stop doing other things and do their best to make light sphere”

“The things to send to the royal palace….”

“Oh, I took it out and packed it.”
