Six days after a service pigeon had despatched a message, Vasa Cellon arrived on the Arpad army camp. It’s affordable to imagine that she traveled almost with out consuming or sleeping given the space from the south. Vasa dismounted the steed with a stern expression.

“What about Emmerich?”

“Please go this fashion.”

She was led to Emmerich’s barracks by the knight who was ready there. Agnes was inside ready when she opened the door. Vasa spoke coldly as quickly as she noticed Agnes’ face.

“Girl Vasa, Depend Cellon…”

“Please go away us collectively.”

“……I’ll do this.”

Though impolite, Agnes didn’t maintain her accountable. She merely gave a silent nod earlier than leaving.

Vasa inhaled deeply. She has no concept why the mattress the place he’s mendacity down seems to be so lengthy. If you take away the material cowl, the very first thing you’ll discover is Emmerich’s serene expression.

He seemed to be in a superb temper because the corners of his mouth have been up. Seeing that, she felt her abdomen twist.

“You fool.”

Her phrases got here out with out hesitation. It was the primary time in a very long time that Vasa spat out foul language at him.

“Are you making an attempt to develop into a hero? How are you going to assault the enemy’s camp alone and develop into a bait?”

She stretched out a hand and held her brother’s stomach. The white, clean material fell. Her crimson eyes shed tears as she spoke.

“You silly bastard. Simply due to a lady? Why would you do this? Why, I… Ugh, Emmerich. The injuries in your abdomen haven’t healed but.”

Regardless of their grumblings, he was a reliable brother, buddy, and mother or father instead of his mother and father, who died younger.

I ought to have stopped you while you introduced your intention to go to battle.

“What am I imagined to do if you happen to go away me like that?”

Over the curtain, a wail might be heard. Agnes, who was loitering exterior, finally bowed her head in response to her sob.

“Let’s go, the wind is getting chilly.”

“No, I would like to talk with Miss Vasa. She’s come a great distance,”

When Laslo approached, he draped a thick coat over Agnes’ shoulder. She had an unusually pale look in comparison with when Zoltan initially reported Cellon’s demise.

– Princess, Depend Cellon has handed away.

– ……What?

– It’s all my fault. He grew to become the bait as an alternative of me? Depend Barania and he engaged in fight.

With a tragic expression on his face, Zoltan introduced Cellon’s obituary. When he reached the barracks, he reduce the string round his waist and put Emmerich to the bottom, however it was already too late.

“I’ll speak to Miss Vasa; please go inside and relaxation; you haven’t slept effectively shortly.”

“It’s all proper.”

Agnes shook her head, her expression not in in the slightest degree relaxed. Vasa didn’t come out till half a day had handed. Her eyes swelled from crying a lot.

“I’ll take him south straight away; I don’t need to keep right here any longer.”

“…….”

“Emmerich appreciated to exit to sea by boat. He all the time requested me to spray his ashes on the ocean when he died. So, hurry up Emmerich, I imply, Emmer, heuk.”

Vasa, whose speech was gibberish and illegible, broke down in tears. Her wounded chest couldn’t really feel any solace. Squeezing her phrases out, Agnes spat them out.

“It’s all my fault, Miss Vasa; I known as him in and put him on the battlefield; please put all of the blame on me.”

“We are going to help you if there may be something we are able to do to assist.”

Laslo continued in a composed method. Vasa shook her head.

“I don’t want something; all I would like is to get Emmerich again to the South as quickly as attainable,” she replied.

“All proper, I’ll make preparations for the military of Cellon to depart instantly.”

Then Vasa stated.

“No, I’m leaving the military till the battle is over; you’ll want it.”

“……thanks.”

“You don’t should thank me.”

Vasa asserted sternly. Then she instructed the knights to hold Emmerich into the casket. Agnes regarded on the coffin with a bitter expression on her face. She requested Agnes earlier than mounting the horse.

“You’re conscious that he has emotions for you proper, Duchess?”

“…… I do know.”

Once they reconnected in Germo and continued the battle collectively, she naturally realized what she had been unaware of when she was within the South. Emmerich often reminded her of Laslo in the best way he regarded her. Agnes needed to bear extra guilt because of this.

Vasa’s eyes, which resembled Emmerich’s, have been fastened on Agnes.

“Then that’s okay. The following time we meet can be on the palace. Could your future be full of limitless glory.”

It was a sublime and clean tone, however she couldn’t assist however discover the sharp blade hidden inside it.
