She Was Sent by God

“Kkyaak!”

She heard a scream of a horse behind her.

An arrow flying over Agnes’ head hit a masked man.

 

“Attack!”

 

The king’s knight shouted first.

 

“Protect your Highness!”

 

As soon as the words were over, dozens of people popped out of the forest simultaneously.

 

“Oh no!”

 

Laslo looked around with a tense eye.
He only brought two knights.

Agnes hardened and looked around without ease.

The assassins slowly narrowed the siege.

 

“Protect Agnes above the king.”

 

Laslo said to the knights behind him.

 

“Yes Sir.”

 

He lifted the bow he had hung to his horse and loaded it.

 Agnes bit her trembling lips.

It happened in an instant, so I don’t know what to do.

 I just held onto the reins and looked at Laslo’s back.

 

“Kill the king!”

“Kill!”

 

Starting with a cliche cry, the assassins began to rush in.

Accordingly, the king’s knights pulled out swords.

Some of the assassins ran toward Laslo.

Laslo shot the loaded bow right away without hesitation.

 

“Gasp!”

 

The man who was hit by a bow in his chest fell backwards.

When one person died, another person behind appeared.

 

They constantly jumped out like people who were not afraid of death.

Laslo calmly shoots the bow to deal with the assassins.

It was so accurate and fast that no assassin came close.

 

“There’s a lot of them.”

 

Laslo said, loading another bow.

The number of assassins did not intend to decrease as the bodies were already piled up one by one.

 

“This place is too open.”

The king’s knight gasped and said.

 

“What about the guards?”

“It will take them more time to come.”

“Your highness, you have to avoid it.”

 

Another knight added.
Sebastian looked at the knights and said.

 

“Half of you stay here and the other half escort me.”

 

“Yes.”

 

They were about to move.
Arrows poured like rain from beyond the forest.

 

“Argh!”

“Ack!”

 

The surroundings were in chaos because of the screams of the people and horses who were hit by an arrow.

Unfortunately, Agnes’ white horse was also hit by an arrow and ran wild.

 

“Agnes!”

 

The horse that was jumping began to run arbitrarily.

Laslo immediately followed her.

Agnes lowered her body and tightly pulled the reins hard.

However, no matter how much she pulled the reins, the horse didn’t listen.

The leaves pass by my cheeks.
The scenery repeatedly appeared and disappeared very quickly.

 

“Duke!”

 

She shouted at Laslo, who was following her.

 

“Shoot my horse!”

“Will it be okay?”

“That’s the only way to stop it.”

 

She shouted with a hoarse voice.
Her hair was blown away by the wind, making it difficult to see ahead.

 

“Come on!”

 

Agnes shouted once again.
Laslo let go of his hand from the reins and loaded his bow.

 

“Hold on tight.”

 

At the same time as the warning, the bow left his hand.

 

“Heuuuuuung!”

 

Her horse lifted its forelegs and howled fiercely.

In an instant, her body floated upward.
It felt like my intestines were plummeting.

Agnes grabbed the rake and threw it away.

 

“Agnes!”

Laslo shouted again.

The horse that had been squealing wildly shook its body.
She couldn’t handle the squealing and tingled on the horse’s back.

 

“Argh!”

 

The moment her back touched the ground; a scream burst out.

Pain came up on my back.
It hurt so much that the sound didn’t come out properly later.

 

“Agnes!”

 

Laslo rushed to her after getting off the horse.

He fumbled throughout her body to see if there were any broken parts.

 

“Oh, it hurts.”

 

Physiological tears came out one after another.

Laslo touches her with great respect.  Her hand stroking her back was soft and painful.

 

“It’s okay, it’ll be okay.
Fortunately, there’s no broken part.
I’ll call the doctor soon…”

 

While talking, he jumped up and pulled out a sword.

 

“Come out.”

 

His voice was cold, it felt like ice.

As soon as he finished talking, people in black suddenly came out.
As the pain went away, fear flocked.

 

“Agnes.”

 

He looked back at Agnes behind him and said.

 

“Close your eyes for a second.”

 

Laslo spoke calmly.

She trembled and closed her eyes tightly as he said.

The day when the assassin came in in the middle of the night suddenly came to mind.

In the midst of the terrible pain, fear and distress rushed all at once.

 

“Argh!”

 

The sound of iron bumping into each other pierced my ears.
Fortunately, Laslo’s voice was not in it.

There was a smell of blood everywhere.

How long did I sit down? Someone touched Agnes’ shoulder.
She trembled in surprise.

 

“Can you stand up?”

 

When I opened my eyes and looked up, there was Laslo.

His face and hair had blood on them.

 

I tried not to pay attention to the bodies piled up in layers.

Agnes stood up holding his hand.

My body ached all over, but the intense pain I felt earlier had disappeared.

“I’ll bring the horse.
A trained warhorse will be around here.
Hang on here.”

 

“Okay.”

 

Agnes nodded.
Laslo came back to her after a few steps.

 

“Duke?”

“Sorry.”

 

He looked down at Agnes with a troubled face.

 

“What?”

“I can’t always protect you properly because I’m not good enough.”

“You saved me now.”

 

Laslo kept his mouth shut.
He lightly touched her cheek, which was scorched by the dirt.

 

“You got hurt.”

 

It just sounded like he was blaming himself.
Agnes held his hand covering her cheek.

 

“It’s not the Duke’s fault.”

“But still…”

“If it weren’t for the ball, I might have died.”

 

Agnes looked up in his eyes and said.
A bitter smile caught Laslo’s mouth.

 

“I’ll be right back.”

 

Laslo disappeared through the bushes.
Agnes lost strength and breathed heavily leaning on the tree.

 

“Who is it?”

 

Agnes muttered to herself.

 

It has been only a few months since the King ascended.

 

Rumors have circulated secretly that Sebastian poisoned the King Seon and ascended to his seat, but anyway he was the eldest son with legitimacy.

 

Soon after, I heard a rustling sound.
It seems like he has returned quickly.

 

“Duke, you’re really…….”

“Agnes.”

 

I got goosebumps behind my back.

I heard a voice that I was familiar with but I never wanted to hear here.

 

“You’re alive.”

 

I felt a strong tone of regret in it.

 

“…Your Highness.”

“Where did the Duke of Arpad go? Are you alone? Assassins still remain in the forest, which is dangerous.”

Sebastian walked slowly.
Blood dripped from the end of his sword by his side.

 

“He’ll be right back.”

“Really?”

 

Agnes had tried not to reveal her nervous feelings.

I tried not to make eye contact with him on purpose.

In the meantime, Sebastian walked right in front of Agnes.

 

“As I came here, I remembered what you said before going to Sutmar.”

“……”

“You said, please save me.
I will live as if I were dead.”

 “……..”

“Did you forget that you begged with your head under my feet?”

 

I don’t know about anything else, but his voice was sweet and soft like honey.

 

“I didn’t forget.
Your Highness.”

 

Agnes replied with her eyes down.

Then Sebastian pulled out a sword hanging from his side.

The tip of the cold sword touched her chin.

Soon Agnes was forced to raise her head.

The eyes of the same color were staring at her.

 

“But why don’t you live like you’re dead?” 

“……..”

 

Sebastian tapped her chin with a blank face.

She felt like a prey that was caught.

 

“Your Highness.”

 

Agnes forced the corners of her mouth up.

 

“Have you forgotten why you sent me to Sutmar?”

“Hmm.”

 “This is a family that has been in decline for more than half a hundred years.
It is a family that rots from the bottom but stands upright from time to time.”

 

He pulled out the sword that was hitting her chin and swept Agnes’ cheek.

 

“What the hell can I do in such a place?”

 

Agnes put her hands together and lowered her gaze.

 

“And I saw Vivian die there with my own eyes…”

 

Agnes repeated dozens of times in her head.

 

I will kill you and rip you into pieces.

I’ll throw your intestines to your favorite hound,

I will hang your head on the castle gate and let everyone curse you.
