Just like how she arrived, Vasa left with none hassle. Because the day wore on, the night time grew longer. Agnes struggled to go to sleep earlier than daybreak. Laslo opened his eyes vast when he heard the sound of tossing and turning. By a small window, Agnes was observing the moon whereas seated in a chair.

“Agnes.”

“Too many individuals died…….”

She murmured with out trying again. Laslo set free a small sigh.

“Are available in and relaxation for some time.”

“I really feel as if I’m standing on their useless our bodies and blood for my very own glory.” 

“That’s the best way of the king.”

Calmly, Laslo mentioned. Agnes turned to face him and appeared into his eyes.

“I actually believed that rebelling would free the populace from Sebastian’s management and that this was the one approach to save them.”

“…….” 

“Nonetheless, after I counted, the variety of individuals I killed equaled Sebastian’s.”

Each side suffered deadly accidents in the course of the 10-day battle on the Nopron Plains. Each the Arpad military and the Depend Barania’s military suffered vital casualties. Agnes was additionally bowled over by the dying of Emmerich Cellon in the course of the battle.

Laslo took out the covers and approached Agnes. The moonlight made her again seem relatively small and frail.

“You’re headed in the correct route.”

“Laslo.”

“Be king; that can be your approach of paying all of them again.”

“…….”

“We’re virtually there; in two days, we’ll break down the gate, make Sebastian kneel, and also you’ll be completed; nobody has to die anymore.”

“Sure.”

Agnes softly laughed at Laslo’s honest makes an attempt to influence her. He tightly embraced her shoulders.

“As you requested, I’ll convey the queen out tomorrow.”

“Are you certain you don’t thoughts?”

“You already know that the palace is empty; I’ll convey the queen out safely; please wait a day.”

As he spoke, Laslo kissed her brow and crown of her head repeatedly.

“You recognize we actually want the queen.”

“I do know.”

Regardless of elevating a military within the identify of overthrowing a tyrant, she can not escape the stigma of usurpation. The troopers’ morale will enhance considerably if the Queen involves the palace to hitch Agnes. Laslo will break into the palace figuring out this.

“After I take the queen out, you might enter; as you might have at all times mentioned, hanging Sebastian’s neck is filial responsibility; hold it in entrance of the fort together with his sins written throughout it.”

“Laslo.”

“Don’t fear, I’ll be by your facet it doesn’t matter what.”

Laslo mentioned. Agnes blinked very slowly.

The moon was setting.

Laslo led 5 elite knights into the palace the following morning. Laslo and the knights had been on guard and protecting a detailed eye on their environment when he first crossed the wall on account of their nervousness.

Nonetheless, once they realized that the palace was empty, that it was laborious to even encounter an ant, they regularly relaxed. Not less than, there was a little bit boundary across the queen’s palace.

“Stand proper right here; I’ll convey the queen.”

Laslo made his approach into the Queen’s palace. A younger maid was the one factor in entrance of the bed room. The maid trembled and fell to the ground as quickly as she noticed the armed Laslo.

“Please, please, save me.”

“I’m not right here to harm you; is the queen in there?”

“Sure, sure.”

Together with her face on the bottom, she gave a frantic nod. Laslo strode previous the maid and softly opened the bed room door.

Though it was noon, the room was too darkish. Laslo walked ahead by the pitch blackness.

“Your highness? Are you there?”

From the bedside, a really faint groan might be heard. Laslo hurried over. She found that the queen’s arm was restrained and tied when she pulled again the mattress insignia.

“Oh my God, who may probably do that?”

Just one particular person would dare to deal with a rustic’s queen on this method. Laslo repressed his rage towards Sebastian. He rapidly slashed a dagger by the knot holding Ilona’s arms collectively.

“Are you all proper, Your highness?”

“Who, Ah, Duke Arpad?”

Ilona acknowledged Laslo’s face solely after he pulled the curtain again and let the sunshine in.

“Is that this king’s work?”

“How did you get right here?”

They concurrently requested one another a query. First, Laslo responded to her query.

“The Arpad forces have already besieged the realm close to the palace; they’re going to interrupt by the gate tomorrow; earlier than that, I got here to take the queen exterior.”

“It’s already been that lengthy? Is the battle over?”

“How lengthy have you ever been imprisoned right here?”

Earlier than Agnes acquired to her ft, Ilona’s time stopped. Laslo couldn’t disguise his disappointment. Anybody can be compelled to really feel sympathy for her on account of the truth that she suffered the lack of two youngsters in fast succession. As well as, she was almost imprisoned within the palace by her husband, the king.

“Name the maid and easily pack your garments and belongings and are available out; Agnes is eagerly awaiting the king’s fall exterior.”

“Actually?”

Ilona was too composed. She struggled to face up from her chair and solely fiddled along with her bruised wrist.

“What are you going to do with Sebastian?”

“He’ll be made to pay for his sins.”

Laslo mentioned firmly.

“Isn’t that candy?”

“What?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

With a pale face, Ilona shook her head. Then there was a commotion exterior. Laslo briefly left the queen alone earlier than continuing to the bed room door.

A well-forged dagger caught her consideration after she was left alone. The dagger was used to sever the rope round her wrist. After giving it a clean stare, she rapidly picked up the dagger and tucked it away in her sleeve. With a grave expression, Laslo went again to the Queen.
