She Was Sent by God

“I will trust you, Count.” said Laslo.
Emmerich nodded silently and went to the driver’s seat.

Agnes got into the wagon with the help of Laslo.

 

“Please go home safely.
That’s all I want.
Agnes.”

 

“Don’t worry.
I’ll write to you when I get there.
Please stay safe until we meet again.”

 

There was no more time to say goodbye.
As soon as the door closed, the wagon departed.

 

When she sat down, she saw a rather heavy bag.

 

Inside were the dry food and coins Laslo prepared.
When she saw it, she remembered the time when the gates were opened, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

 

“Laslo…”

 

His name came out like a moan.
Agnes held the bag tightly and filled her empty heart.

 

The wagon ran for a whole day.
In the dim evening Emmerich opened the wagon door.

 

“You can come out.”

 

Agnes looked around.
The other knights were guarding the wagon.

 

“Where are we?” she asked. 

 

“We’re at the Rance forest.
We can camp here today and get out of the woods tomorrow.”

 

“Thank you.
Count’s hard work is deep.”

 

Agnes sent a friendly smile.

 

His eyes contained so many complex and varied emotions that she could not read them.

 

“…please rest.”

 

She filled her stomach and came back after a brief breath of fresh air.

 

She muttered Eugene’s name again before sleeping, but he didn’t respond.

 

‘What’s going on?’

 

At first, she was angry, but by this point, she started to worry. 

 

It was even more strange since there was never a case where he didn’t respond at all. 

 

“Eugene.”

 

Agnes’ voice vanished into thin air.

 

The next morning, as soon as dawn broke, the wagon began to move.
Thanks to their diligent pace, they’re almost out of the forest by noon.

 

“It looks like we’ll be arriving in a nearby village this evening.
Then in the right place….”

 

The smile on Emmerich’s face, who was talking lightly, quickly disappeared.

 

The other knights also drew their swords from the scabbard attached to their waist.

 

“Please enter the wagon.”

 

Agnes quickly entered the wagon without saying a word.
She heard Emmerich’s angry voice outside.

 

“Damn, why is Devon forces here?”

 

“What shall we do?”

 

“We break through first.”

The carriage began to move with a clatter.
Unlike usual, it was a rough drive.

 

The men’s shouts were heard and then disappeared.
The wagon shook violently.

 

A cold sweat was dripping down.
Agnes grabbed the sack and muttered alternately the names of God and Laslo

 

“Turn left!”

 

“Ahh! Count!”

 

“Avoid it!”

 

Then there was a bang and the right side of the wagon bumped into something.

 

The speed of the carriage began to increase tremendously from then onward.

 

There were no windows, so she had no idea what was going on outside or where the wagon was going.

 

Thudge –

 

The wagon shook side by side and caused the door to crack.  After a few moments, the door was completely broken and Agnes was thrown out of the wagon.

 

“Ouch!”

 

A short scream was all she could make.
Her mind became increasingly blurred.

 

‘Laslo…….’

 

Agnes lost consciousness.

 

***

 

Her mind slowly returned to the chirping voice.
Someone shouted as she opened her eyes with a groan.

 

“Mom, mom! She must have woken up!”

 

“Are you awake?”

 

A woman, who looked about ten years older than Agnes with brown hair, looked down at her with a worried face.

 

“Hey, where am I?”

 

“It’s Kanua.”

 

It’s an unfamiliar place. 

 

Agnes struggled to get up.
Only then did she realize that she was lying on a pile of straw.

 

“Is it okay for you to get up? Your body is covered in bruises.”

 

“Who are you? Have you not seen the knights with me?”

 

Who in the world attacked me? I thought my identity was hidden.
Was there a spy among the knights?

 

Her mind was complicated.
Her whole body throbbed.

 

Fortunately, there were no broken bones, seeing her limbs fully moving.

 

“Oh…” 

 

Agnes asked, and the woman’s face turned strange.
The child next to her also had round eyes.

 

“Wow, she must be crazy.
mom.
The way she talks is so weird.”

 

“Jamie.
You shouldn’t say that in front of people.”

“Then can I do it from behind?”

 

The child’s innocent question made the woman smile awkwardly.

 

Agnes was terrified and was about to respond immediately, but suddenly the clothes she was wearing caught her eye.

 

It wasn’t dirty, but it was close to rags.
It was no wonder that they misunderstood.

 

“Well, my husband will be here in a little while.
If we’re going on the same route, I’ll drop you off on my way.”

 

“I live in the West.”

 

Agnes spoke her words out loudly.

 

“Oh, my God.
What a coincidence! We’re going to Sutmar.”

 

“Sutmar?”

 

At the familiar name, the corners of her lips rose without realizing it.

 

“Yes.
If we go there, we will get a land and ahm.
What do you call it again?” 

 

“Hospital! Hospital, mom!” Jamie said, jumping from place to place.

 

“That’s right.
There is also a hospital there, they treat the residents for free.”

 

“Hmm.
It’s a wonderful place.
I heard that the lord’s character and ability to govern is excellent.”

 

Agnes did not hide her delight and painted herself with gold.

 

“By the way lady, what’s your name? How did you fall down in the woods?”

 

“I’m already married, so I’m not a lady, and my name will not be called by you unless you are my husband, so when you call me, call me madam.”

 

“…… Oh my God.
You must have really hurt your head.”

 

“Well, let’s go to Sutmar together.
Go to the hospital with me!”

 

“I’m not crazy, I’m from Sutmar……!”

 

Agnes stopped herself from speaking her words.

 

I don’t think they will believe it, and there’s no need to risk myself by exposing my identity for no reason.

 

“Hmm.
My name is Um.
It’s Ney.
You, no.
What’s your name?”

 

“My name is Dora.
This is my son, Jamie, and my husband, ah.
He is just in time for that.”

 

Dora turned her head.

 

At the end of her gaze was a tall, bearded man striding towards her.

 

“This is my husband, Luyosh.”

 

“Hmm.
Have you come to your senses?”

 

“Her name is Ney and she’s going to the West like us.
That’s why L….” Dora said so, and then dragged her husband away to a distant place to talk to each other.

 

Hearing the words “pity,” “mind,” and “head,” she could guess what they were talking about.

 

“But why were you there? My dad said that there are a lot of really scary people there.”

 

“I fell out while traveling with my party.”

 

“What is fell out?”

“I mean, I was left behind.”

 

“What’s party?”

 

“How old are you? Have you neglected your studies?”

 

Agnes scolded the child with a stern face.
Then Dora said with an awkward face.

 

“Jamie has been sick since he was a child, so he hasn’t learned much.”

 

“Hmm.
Don’t be discouraged.
Go to the hospital in Sutmar, and he will be well soon.”

 

“…She is definitely a crazy woman.” Luyosh, who came closer, nodded his head and spoke.

 

“I’m not crazy…!”

 

“Let’s do what you say.
She’s a crazy woman, but if I leave her behind, I’ll feel guilty.”

 

“…I won’t forget your kindness, and I’ll give you a big reward when I return to the West.”

 

Agnes suppressed her resentment and expressed her gratitude.

 

In any case, it is a blessing to be rescued by kind people.

 

But what happened to Count Cellon?

 

At the same time, she was even more worried about Laslo if he heard the news from the Count.

 

She placed her palm on her left chest and feel her heartbeat.

 

The only comfort was that she could tell whether he was alive or dead through the Ritual of oath.

 

“It’s all right.” 

 

Agnes muttered in a low voice.

 

An unfamiliar environment

 

I was thrown into the world with no one to turn to.

 

In addition to that, a mysterious spy, a plague that begins to spread horribly, unexpected situations and sudden attacks.

 

Even if all of that puts Agnes in danger, it doesn’t matter.

 

She did not return to the past just give up because of these things.

 

Even if the world tries to kill me and you.
I will never let it happen.

 

Agnes eyes lit up.

 

So please don’t let yourself get hurt.

 

* * *

 

“Wow, don’t you know this?”

 

“I know, it’s a black stone, isn’t it?” said Agnes, pointing confidently in Jamie’s hand.

 

“Yeah, you idiot! This is bread you soak in water then eat.”

 

“Why would you soak the bread in water?”

 

“Isn’t it because it’s hard?”

 

“Why is the bread so hard?”

“Well, you’re the only one who’s lazy about studying.
You don’t know how to eat bread!”

 

Agnes, who had only been brought up preciously, could not understand them. 

 

Dora explained with a friendly smile.

 

“If you bake with a lot of butter, it will be soft, but commoners do not have the luxury of putting it in.”

 

“Is butter a luxury?”

 

She was genuinely shocked.
For Agnes, Butter was neither special nor precious.

 

It was as natural as water.

 

“What do we do, Mom? She doesn’t even know how to eat bread.”

 

“Our Jamie can tell you step by step.”

 

While the mother and son were having a friendly conversation, Luyosh entered the inn room.

 

“There is a problem.
Dora.”

 

“What’s the matter?”

 

“They say there’s a disease going around outside, and they’ll lock the gates, and let only certain people in.” 

 

Luyosh’s face grew serious.

 

Agnes learned a few things while traveling with them.
This family was all from wandering slashers.

 

For this reason, there was no official birth registration, and of course, there was no document to prove their identity.

 

Dora’s complexion darkened in an instant.

 

“A disease? Are you talking about a plague?”

 

“I don’t know that much,”

 

He shook his head.
They were half way northwest through the south.

 

If you think about the time, it is the right time for the plague to spread gradually.

 

Even so, the speed is so fast.

 

“What do we do? It’s too far to go back to Reneka Castle now.”

 

“That’s right.
If it gets colder like this, it would be difficult to move.”

 

“I’m going to meet the lord of Reneka.”

 

Agnes, who had been listening to the couple’s concerns, took a step forward.

 

“Are you really a nobleman?”

 

“Yes, I’ve told you so many times.”

 

In fact, Agnes can prove her identity halfway just by taking off the rag clothes and washing herself.

 

Long, well-groomed hair, a white body that did not see the sun, and soft fingers were like symbols of nobility.

 

However, perhaps because the first impression was so strong, the couple still thought Agnes was half crazy.

 

If it’s Reneka’s lord, he’s someone I’ve seen before at a royal ball.

 

There is no way that a nobleman with a knighthood would not know the face of a princess.

 

Because of this, Agnes was able to step forward with confidence.
