She Was Sent by God

“How is your body?”

“It’s not that bad.”

The old doctor examined her carefully.

The Doctor breathed a sigh of relief when her condition was not as serious as he thought.

“You suffered a lot, but I’m glad you look healthy.”

“Really? The Madam is healthy?”

Niall’s face turned bright.
He seems to be happy to write positive words in the letter to Laslo.

“Yes, but your body hasn’t recovered yet, so you’d better take a good rest for a few days.”

“Okay.”

Agnes nodded quietly.

“I’ll bring you some thin soup Madam.”

“I’m going to leave, too.
Take a rest.”

Zoltan bowed.
Niall followed.

Ney, who had gone out, quickly returned with the soup.

“I was so worried when you came back carried by the lord on his back.
My lord’s back was covered with blood.
Your face was so pale.”

Ney shed tears again, remembering that day.
Agnes smiled quietly and soothed the maid.

After eating a lukewarm soup and taking medicine, she fell asleep.

As the Doctor said, her physical condition was not very bad, so she easily got up from her bed the next morning.

Agnes went to the bathroom as soon as she got out of bed.

“How are you feeling?”

“It’s much better.”

Another maid, who was waiting in the bathroom, asked cautiously.

When a positive answer came back, a young maid who was pouring water from behind babbled.

“That’s a relief.
If the wife won’t wake up, all the believers in prison will die.…”

“Ariel!”

“Who will die?”

The maid who brought the incense quickly tried to cover the young maid’s mouth, but it was too late.

“Sorry Madam, Ariel is still young and lacks education.
Please don’t pay attention.”

“Did I ask that? Why did she say that a priest is going to die?”

At Agnes’ fierce interrogation, the maid hesitated for a while and soon confessed what she knew.

“I don’t know the details.
However, the lord imprisoned the priests and interrogated them when Madam collapsed.”

“What? The priest? Are they still in prison?”

“………Yes.”

Agnes got up from the bathtub with the sound of water splashing.

“Oh, you haven’t finished bathing yet….”

“Call Niall.”

Agnes’ voice was so cold that it was clearly heard inside the steamy bathroom.

The maids stepped down without breathing recklessly.

One maid stayed and hurriedly removed the remaining foam from her body.

After drying her wet hair and changing her clothes, she went to the drawing room where Niall was waiting.

“Did you call me? Madam.”

“The butler worked hard taking care of the housekeeping while I was lying down.”

“No.
It is my duty to assist the Duchess.”

“Without you, Estar wouldn’t have worked properly.”

“I’m flattered.”

Niall was puzzled at the sudden compliment, but calmly responded.

“Yes.
The lord has taken care of most of the work.”

“Really? Did you take care of all the priests that were locked up?”

“Oh…”

Not knowing that the subject was coming up, Niall raised his head disrespectfully and looked straight into his master’s eyes.

She raised the corners of her lips and smiled.
But her eyes are as cold as ice.

“Why aren’t you talking?”

“…Madam.”

“Your arrogance pierces the sky, and there is nothing to compare it to.
How long were you planning to hide it?”

“I’m sorry.
It’s only been a day since the Madam woke up, so I postponed the report because I thought I’d make you worry.”

Niall immediately bowed his head and showed an attitude of obedience.

The servants standing around realized the seriousness of the situation and could not even breathe properly.

“This matter is urgent.
How dare you say that you’re worried about my health?”

“I’m sorry.
But they are the ones who harmed the Madam……”

“They harmed me? Did you find any evidence that points to the temple?”

Niall kept his mouth shut.

There’s no way evidence will come out.
It was not someone’s conspiracy that drove her to death, but an unfortunate accident.

“You put the priests in a prison for their sins without a fair trial or proof? This doesn’t make sense!”

“…….”

“What if the temple asks to take responsibility for this and expel the Duke of Arpad? How can you be so thoughtless?”

Imprisoning a priest without trial is a dangerous thing that challenges the authority of the temple head-on.

If the Pope hears about this incident, Laslo will be expelled and the situation will grow out of control.

Once expelled, he is considered to have been abandoned by the gods and loses his status as a nobleman.

It’s like a social death penalty.

“But the Lord said,”

“Even if Laslo gave these instructions, isn’t it the duty of a servant to lead the master in the right way? Do you not distinguish between blind obedience and obedience?”

“…I have nothing to say.”

Agnes used the low expression ‘you’, which is not usually used.

Niall’s face dropped at the constant, blatant accusations pouring in.

This is because, coldly speaking, Agnes’s words were not wrong.

This is also what Niall said when Laslo first told him to arrest the priests.

– they will not stand still in the temple.
Master, if the high priest informs the main office of this……

– She vomited blood in front of me and collapsed.

– The Madam will wake up soon.
So why don’t we ask for a formal trial later and put in a letter of protest?

– Agnes is small and skinny, but I didn’t expect her to vomit so much blood.

-…….Master

Laslo didn’t listen to Niall at all.

He poured alcohol that he doesn’t usually drink into a glass.
He didn’t drink, he just looked carefully at the amber liquid.

Then slowly, he turned his head to look at Niall.

There was nothing in his eyes.

Niall was instantly horrified and took a step back without realizing it.

– Catch all those who were involved in the ritual.
Bring them all regardless of the reason.

– Master.

– Sir Matron.

– Yes.

A tall man in the dark walked out.

– Those who rebel will be trapped, captured, and imprisoned.
I’ll interrogate them myself.

Matron silently bowed his head and led the knights into the temple.

In just two hours, nineteen priests were dragged out, bound with ropes.

High Priest Katerina protested violently, but Laslo acted like a deaf person.

When Zoltan heard the news, he ran to stop him, but Laslo remained stubborn until the day he left.

That was already ten days ago.

“Did you torture them?”

“As far as I know, there was no bodily damage.”

“Sigh, that’s a relief.
Sir Matron.”

“Yes, Madam”

The knight, standing like a shadow behind her, came one step forward.

“Release all the priests who are imprisoned in prison, right now.
Give them a very hearty lunch, and then send them to the temple.”

“Yes.”

The knight, who heard conflicting orders from the owners, left the room without asking why.

“Oh, I told you to go to High Priest Katerina, no.
I will go myself.”

Agnes touched her temple and beckoned to the maid in the back.

“Yes Madam.”

“I’m going to the temple now, so get ready.”

The servants who had been standing stiffly began to move around only then.

Niall stood there, unable to raise or lower his head.

Agnes passed by him and entered the dress room.
She put on new makeup and changed into formal clothes.

“Load the wagon full of gold.”

“How many boxes should I put in?”

“To the point where it won’t fit anymore.”

It was necessary to prevent Laslo from being excommunicated.

While she was thinking about what to present to the high priest as a condition to cover this case, the preparations were completed.

In the middle of the drawing room, Niall was still standing silently.

She wiggled her fingers as she tried to pass him silently.
Niall approached quickly.

“Follow me.”

“Yes.”

Agnes got on the same carriage as Niall.

“It’s not your fault.”

As the carriage departed, she opened her mouth with a light sigh.
Niall raised her head halfway.

“It’s my fault for expecting too much from you.”

“That’s not it.
Madam, what you said is right.
I should have stopped the lord more strongly.”

“It’s true that you have to stop him.
I mean, I forgot that your duty is to be a butler.
I was relying too much on you.”

“…….”

“Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen now.”

At that moment, Niall clapped his lips because he didn’t know what to say.

“Who is the person who handles the administrative affairs in the absence of the lord?”

“It’s Ron Aspel and Sir Pedro Rinke.”

“When we get back to the castle, send them to me.
From now on, you should only be faithful to the duty of the butler.”

“….…Yes.”

Agnes closed her eyes at the end of those words.
She no longer rebuked Niall.

For some reason, Niall was agitated by the action.
