If you go to the end of this road, you will come to a site where the capital residences of the great nobles are gathered.
Perhaps that is why all the carriages passing by were luxurious.
It was clearly the carriage of nobles working at the court.
Patterns symbolizing each family were ostentatiously painted on each carriage.
‘But the driving is really rough…’
The driver driving the carriage looked fierce, and even the horses seemed fierce.
It was all like they had deliberately chosen a large and scary-looking person to be their coachman.
Those who were leaders of the Knights of the Imperial Castle rode horses that had been genetically modified through mechanization. Just like Kylo rides.
However, ordinary nobles just rode ordinary horses, and the horses that drove the carriages seemed to be only horses with particularly rough characteristics.
It was also an area where the characteristics of conservative aristocrats appeared in strange places.
‘Whether it’s in my past life or here, the war for going to work is the same.’
Agnes looked at the coachman who was annoyed that the road was blocked and clicked his tongue inwardly.
Then, when i turned my head and checked the clock tower, it was already past opening time.
It’s because I was too absorbed in watching.
‘It’s already this much time? I have to go quickly.’
It was time to go to the cafe for birthday.
Agnes immediately turned around and walked quickly.
***
Meanwhile, Raymond, who had followed Agnes, was following her from a very long distance away.
Agnes may have been worried that someone would discover her identity, but she often looked behind her and looked around her.
So Raymond watched her from a distance, hiding her appearance more thoroughly.
‘But why on earth are you dressed like that?’
She never imagined that Agnes would have a hobby of looking outside the castle.
I felt strange as if I had discovered another side of Agnes that I didn’t know about.
Of course, this downtown area was a safe place, but it was still less safe than the Imperial Castle.
What on earth would a princess who grew up in the imperial castle have to do outside?
And that too while dressed in such a suspicious outfit.
‘It seems like I’m just watching as usual.’
Agnes was fascinated by looking at the luxurious stores that catered to the nobility.
There was nothing that looked particularly suspicious.
It felt like she was just looking outside the castle out of frustration.
Looking at that, it occurred to me that Agnes was a young lady who had just reached adulthood.
Like other noble ladies, she has many questions and many things she wants to do.
It was surprising to Raymond, but it finally dawned on me that Agnes was a girl who was several years younger than me.
And she said she was…When she was younger than she is now, he didn’t hesitate to hurt Agnes.
And that too for a very long time.
His heart felt strangely sore, as if it had been stabbed with a needle.
“…….”
Raymond furrowed his brows at his sudden sense of self-destruction.
In order to get rid of this dirty feeling, he had to talk to Agnes today.
I wanted to end things with Agnes well even now.
However, this didn’t mean that he wanted to be Agnes’ lover as she wanted.
Just…I wanted to go back to a relationship that was simply close, like when I was very young.
Just like that time when he was so affectionate that others thought they were brother and sister.
At that time, Raymond really thought of Agnes as his cute younger sister.
Although she was a little annoying, he was still happy because it felt like he really had a little sister.
Yes, if only je could go back to the way it was…
Only then will he be able to escape the uncomfortable feeling of seeing himself overlap with his father.
That was all he wanted.
It was then.
Agnes suddenly checked the clock tower and started running as if she had urgent business.
‘…Why are you suddenly running?’
Raymond followed Agnes with his eyes and followed her without being noticed.
Agnes hurriedly headed somewhere along the path she had taken so far.
And he was about to reach a crossroads.
“Get out of the way! Move! Get out of the way!”
A man shouted loudly.
The accident happened in an instant.
A carriage rushed at crazy speed towards Agnes, who was trying to cross the road where the carriage was passing.
The horse’s reins were loose. The coachman shouted, gesturing for the woman in black robes to get out of the way.
But somehow, even though she saw the carriage rushing towards her, she didn’t move.
Agnes was frozen as if time had stopped.
Like someone who doesn’t care if she die.
“Agnes!!!”
Raymond tried to rush towards her, but it was already too late.
He could only stare at the delicate body colliding with the large carriage.
It felt like time was passing slowly, but I couldn’t do anything.
Agnes…?
Why did Agnes…
Raymond found it difficult to believe that the accident had occurred before his eyes. He had no sense of reality.
I was used to having no choice but to helplessly watch someone’s accident like this.
Because he had to go through a lot of pain on the battlefield.
But this was not a battlefield.
It was an accident that could have been prevented if he hadn’t followed too far away or stayed a little closer.
Raymond suddenly felt that his surroundings were moving more slowly and his ears were ringing.
Beep-
An unknown tinnitus weighed down his entire body.
He trudged to the scene of the accident as if he couldn’t believe what was happening before his eyes.
When he came to his senses, he saw people crowding around him and screaming loudly.
“Someone hit the carriage!”
“The horse must have gone wild! Oh my gosh…!”
“Someone check on that person!”
“There’s a lot of blood, aren’t she dead?”
“It looks like a carriage belonging to a noble family. Which family is it?”
“Dhe really died?”
“Who is the dead person?”
The voices of people sounded like they were from another dimension.
Raymond approached the woman in black robes who was lying bleeding.
‘Probably not…’
Raymond slowly sat down and turned the shoulder of the woman who was lying face down, her face covered.
It couldn’t be, it shouldn’t have been.
In that brief moment, Raymond prayed earnestly.
I hope this person is not Agnes.
I hope the cunning Agnes noticed that she was being followed, so she disguised herself and ran away.
however…
“… Agnes.”
The light purple silver hair revealed as the robe flowed down was that of a princess who could never be mistaken.
Raymond stopped breathing as he saw his her instantly covered in red blood.
“…..”
Blood was accumulating around Agnes’ head, forming a puddle.
I have seen people die hundreds of times.
Participating in war meant that you no longer felt anything when you saw someone die.
Unlike his colleagues who were numb to their death, Raymond simply couldn’t.
Every time someone died, his heart throbbed and he felt sick, so it was difficult to bear it.
But he wasn’t in this much pain. It was difficult to breathe, as if his internal organs were being torn apart.
He couldn’t come to his senses.
He found it increasingly difficult to breathe and it felt as if the floor was turning over.
The whole world turned upside down.
Agnes is dying?
In front of my eyes?
So suddenly…?
The terrible memories of his childhood and the loss of his mother replayed in his mind.
No…no…!
I haven’t said anything to you yet…! If you die like this…!
He checked Agnes’ pulse with his pale, trembling hand.
She was still breathing.
It was only later that Raymond started yelling to bring someone over.
People were hugging the blood-covered woman and shaking as they saw the man suddenly screaming like he was crazy.
