“Who despatched it?”

“It’s from Duchess Arpad.”

“Hmm? I’m excellent right here. She will be able to name me if she has one thing to say. What letter?”

Marquis Songrad fastidiously examined the contents of the envelope after opening it.

The hand holding the letter shook increasingly as he learn the contents. The letter was thrown to the bottom.

“Oh, the place is she?”

“What?”

“The place is the princess proper now?”

“What’s the matter?”

Roland, who was subsequent to him, requested in shock. The servant hurriedly bowed his head on the roar of Marquis Songrad.

“She’s within the Duke’s bed room.”

“Prepared the ground.”

The servant, who didn’t perceive what was happening, guided the Marquis to Duke Arpad’s room. Roland picked up the letter dropped by Marquis Songrad and browse it. His complexion additionally modified abruptly.

[Sorry, grandfather]

The lengthy letter ended with an apology.

“This…”

Roland hurried after Marquis Songrad, clutching the letter.

***

“Princess!”

The door unexpectedly swung open. They searched the world, however they couldn’t discover the particular person they had been searching for. As an alternative, Zoltan Arpad hesitantly stood up.

“Have you ever seen the princess, Sir Zoltan? It’s an emergency.”

“……that’s.”

“The place the hell did she disappear? You. Inform the servants to name and discover the princess.”

“Sure, Marquis.”

“Is she right here?”

Roland, who had caught as much as him late, gasped and requested. Marquis Songrad shook his head closely.

“I can’t discover her. I ordered the attendant to go looking the mansion first.”

“I’ve one thing to inform you.”

Zoltan flapped his lips a number of occasions and opened his mouth with problem.

“What’s happening? If it’s not pressing, do it later. Discover the princess first.”

“It’s a few princess.”

The heads of Roland and Marquis Songrad turned on the similar time.

“Are you aware the place the princess is?”

“…….”

“Why can’t you discuss? Sir Zoltan. You realize one thing, don’t you?”

Marquis Songrad grabbed his arm and urged him. When Zoltan was about to talk, it was at that exact second a low moan was heard from behind his again. The three individuals’s gazes converged on the similar time. Clearly, Laslo made that noise.

“Br, brother, brother!”

Zoltan hastened to assist him. Laslo slowly opened his eyes, however he was unable to talk for a short time.

“Oh.”

“God should have helped you to stand up.”

“A……gnes.”

Naturally, the very first thing Laslo did as quickly as he opened his eyes was to name his for his spouse. Zoltan grabbed him by the collar.

“Brother…”

He burst into tears. Laslo smiled quietly and tapped his brother’s hand.

“I suppose I’ve been mendacity down for fairly a very long time, haven’t I? You’ve been via loads. Greater than that. Name Agnes.”

“T, the princess is gone.”

“What?”

“Sir Zoltan, what do you imply? The place is the princess going?”

Marquis Songrad’s face went white as a sheet as Roland strode over and stood subsequent to Zoltan.

“She stated she wanted to go so you would get up, and I attempted to cease her. I’m sorry, I’m actually sorry.”

“Zoltan. What are you speaking about? Ugh.”

Laslo groaned as he struggled to get off the bed, and Zoltan rubbed his sleeve round his eye.

“Element, inform me intimately. What does the Duchess should do with my waking up, and the place the hell did she go?”

“Oh, my princess. Princess.”

Marquis Songrad stumbled over the wall. Zoltan clenched his fist and took a tough breath.

“She stated she needed to go and pay the worth she wanted to vary her destiny.”

“Pay?”

“Sure, she left saying that life can solely be exchanged with life.”

Zoltan took a letter and a diamond necklace out of his pocket. Laslo’s eyes grew wider. It was the present he gave her final summer season.

“What the hell does that imply?”

A brand new voice was heard. Zoltan raised his head. Ney stood with a steaming soup.

“The place did the princess go?”

“Ney.”

“I imply, now. In line with Lord Zoltan’s phrases, the princess died as a substitute of the Lord.”

The reality that nobody needs to confess got here out of Ney’s mouth. Roland shook his head violently.

“Does that make sense? You may’t give your life to somebody who isn’t waking up.”

“No.”

Laslo stated firmly.

“Agnes is just not useless. I took an oath ceremony along with her. If she died, my coronary heart wouldn’t be so peaceable.”

“Yeah, that’s proper. I’m positive you two took the oath.”

Marquis Songrad rose from his seat once more with a touch of hope.

“Sir Zoltan should have heard one thing unsuitable. Come on, let’s discover the princess.”

“I’ve one thing to inform you urgently.”

After that, the servant who was despatched by Marquis Songrad to search out Agnes arrived. His face was pale and filled with chilly sweat.

“I discovered the Duchess.”

Roland requested with a smile on the comment.

“That’s proper. The place is the Duchess now?”

“She was found within the bed room on the highest of the third flooring.”

“Found?”

The tone was subtly totally different. Everybody’s eyes had been on him. The servant couldn’t overcome the stress and knelt down on the spot.

“I’m sorry. Once we discovered the Duchess…….”

Cling~

Ney missed the tray. Agnes’ favourite mushroom soup has stained the carpet. Zoltan lowered his head. The servant spat out the remainder of his phrases.

“Coronary heart… Her chest was pierced.”

There was a horrible silence. The one one that instantly understood what he stated was Zoltan.

“……What?”

“Who, who died?”

“God.”

“It’s a lie.”

Laslo pointed his finger on the servant and stated,

“Agnes is just not useless. You will need to have seen one thing unsuitable.”

“…… Brother.”

“Zoltan, get me up. I’ll discover Agnes myself.”

“The letter from the princess. Learn it….”

Laslo discarded the letter and necklace given to him by Zoltan. The necklace rolled round on the ground. Laslo’s face turned chilly.

“Do away with it. Ship out the servant who lied. Agnes is just not useless.”

“Brother.”

“Get me up proper now!”

Laslo yelled. Zoltan’s eyes started to flush. As he assisted Laslo, Zoltan picked up the letter and necklace that had fallen to the bottom and put them in his pocket.

“I’ll see it for myself. Let’s examine how ridiculous that servant’s claims are.”

“Your Excellency, I’ll go there as nicely. This servant should have misunderstood one thing.”

“You. Take the lead. If what you stated is confirmed to be false, you’ll be severely punished for overstepping your grasp’s boundaries.”

On the phrases, the servant trembled and stood up. Laslo, who’s on the primary flooring, perspired simply by going up the steps to the third flooring. Zoltan was afraid that he would collapse once more at this price, however he couldn’t cease him.

After struggling via the steps and corridors for greater than 20 minutes, Laslo lastly arrived in entrance of the bed room on the third flooring.

“That is the place.”

“Open it.”

The door slid open. The silhouette on the mattress was seen from a distance. It reminded Roland of Agnes’s costume this morning however Roland fought to disclaim it.

‘No, it may well’t be.’

Zoltan and Laslo made their method to the mattress. Agnes was peacefully sleeping. There was no indication of any ache; as a substitute, it appeared as if she had simply dozed off.

Zoltan won’t have believed she was useless if her chest hadn’t been left open.

“Brother.”

“It’s not Agnes.”

Laslo shook his head vigorously. He was surprisingly decided. Zoltan shed tears once more, which he had beforehand suppressed.

“Brother, I apologize. I, I ought to’ve stopped her. I used to be scared. I used to be petrified of you dying.”

“Zoltan, don’t cry. It’s not Agnes mendacity there.”

“The princess has requested me to take care of you. Moreover, she expresses remorse….”

“Didn’t I say it wasn’t Agnes!”

Roland stumbled after checking the face of the physique. Marquis Songrad and Ney then walked over to the mattress. They collapsed after figuring out Agnes.

“Oh, princess, princess! Simply take this outdated one, why, ah!”

“Princess? It’s not, is it? Princess. Princess…….”

After a number of calls to Agnes, Ney, whose face coloration had utterly vanished, fainted.

“Sure!”

In shock, Zoltan rushed to her facet. Laslo touched Agnes’ cheek along with his outstretched hand.

“It’s not Agnes.”

Her cheeks, which had misplaced their heat, had been too chilly. Laslo repeatedly blinked his eyes.

It may’t be Agnes mendacity right here. He would have skilled the identical quantity of heartache if Agnes had died.

The particular person mendacity on the mattress regarded a lot like Agnes that his tears got here out unusually.

“No, it’s not.”

Laslo stored muttering the phrases. His pallid cheeks had been soaked in tears.

“I’ve been mendacity down for too lengthy. It seems that you’re upset. Agnes, the place are you? Get out without delay; I’m stunned sufficient.”

He raised his head and scanned his environment. In a crouching place, Roland had his fingers over his face. Marquis Songrad sat by the mattress and sobbed as Ney fell to the ground. The whole lot about it was unrealistic.

“Brother. This.”

Zoltan made one other try to ship the earlier-rejected letter. As he noticed it, he thought numerous issues. Laslo grasped it with shaking fingers.

The letter was not lengthy.

[In my next life, I would still marry you. Please don’t forgive me for leaving first out of selfishness.]
