She Was Sent by God

ard silence.
The corners of Laslo’s mouth went down a little.

 

Usually, she doesn’t really care about when he touches her body but somehow right now it feels strange.

 

“Then I’ll get going.”

 

Agnes scuttled out of the dining room.

 

She did not see Laslo’s expression become dark as she was avoiding making eye contact with him.

 

“Oh my, oh my.
Duchess!”

 

While walking a little in the hallway, a talkative bird flew in.

 

“Lady Lisa.”

 

“Did you have dinner?”

 

“I just ate.
What about you?”

 

“Me too! Ah, I guess I really like the food here.  When I was in Leana, I couldn’t even eat half of it and threw it away.
But when I came to the West, I was scared to gain weight l.”

 

“I’ll have to award the cook.”

 

“Oh, why don’t I come and thank them personally?”

“No.”

 

Agnes shook her head very firmly and quickly.

 

She didn’t want to imagine what would happen after sending her to the kitchen.

 

“Please leave it up to me.”

 

“Um.
It’s a pity, but I can’t help it.
Oh, if you have time, would you like to have a cup of tea together?”

 

“Let’s do that.”

 

Agnes nodded after contemplating a little.

 

She went to the drawing room with Lisa and sat down.
A quick-witted maid came out with tea.

 

“When will my mother come?”

 

Lisa asked an unexpected question.
It was a topic that she had never mentioned after coming to this castle.

 

“She’ll probably arrive in three or four days.”

 

“I see.
I should get ready to go.”

 

She smiled.
Unlike usual, It felt quite mature.

 

“Why did you run away from home?”

 

“Hmm… I don’t want to marry someone my mother decided for me.”

 

“For that reason?”

 

“Because I have someone I love.”

 

Lisa spoke surprisingly calmly.

 

“The knight who ran away with you?”

 

“Yes.
Max.
Max and I have been together since we were very young.
Wherever we went, whatever we ate, we were all together.
Of course, I thought until the end I would be with him.”

 

Agnes looked at Lisa with strange eyes.

 

“Then why didn’t you come here together? I heard you deliberately said you are going to come alone.”

 

“I told him to run away.
My mother will definitely kill Max.
How can I come with him knowing that?”

 

“Why did you run away together when you knew that?”

 

“We were going to die together.”

 

Agnes closed her mouth.
Not a single lie could be seen in Lisa’s eyes

 

“But I was so surprised how they found me and Max just in time.”

 

“It’s a relief that they found you on time, right.”

 

“I know.
I even bought medicine to die.”

 

A lot of sincerity came out of the smiling face.

Agnes only then realized that when Lisa died in the past, the cause was none other than suicide.

 

“If you want…….”

 

Agnes looked straight at Lisa’s face and said.

 

“I’ll help you two run away.”

 

It was a rather impulsive remark.

 

The original plan was to clear the debt by finding Count Barania’s youngest daughter.

 

“No.”

 

Lisa shook her head without much concern.

 

“Even if the duchess helped, my mother would have found us someday.
I knew that, so I bought medicine.”

 

Agnes gave up trying to say something comfortable.

 

She thought Lisa was immature, but some parts of her are surprisingly mature.

 

“But wouldn’t it be better to live than to die?”

 

“You are right.
It is better to live than to die.” 

 

Agnes said quietly, putting down the teacup.
Lisa smiled and changed the subject.

 

“Well, how is it? Did the Duke do it?” 

 

“It? Hmmmm.”

 

“I think he’s too romantic.
He was embarrassed to say it, so he wrote it down on a piece of paper and went to study alone the whole time.”

 

“Really?”

 

“Sigh, I’m so jealous.
I could feel your Excellency’s love for Duchess.”

 

The corners of Agnes’ mouth crept up.

 

“Max hates it when asked to do something like that.
So I do it for Max instead.
Ah, your beautiful hair shines like the sun and your eyes like stars.
If I did this, he would have covered his ears and ran away.….”

 

Her face gradually got wet.
Agnes silently took a handkerchief out of her arms and handed it over.

 

Lisa held it tightly while shedding tears.

 

Time has passed enough for the tea to cool down.

 

She smiled again, wiping her tears with the handkerchief she received from Agnes.

 

“It’s better to live than die, right?”

 

“Yeah.”

 

That was all Agnes could do for her.

 

“Thank you so much.
Duchess.”

 

Lisa got up from her seat first and bowed.

 

Count Barania arrived in Sutmar exactly three days after that.
