She Was Sent by God

 

 

“Yeah, that’s really unfortunate.”

“Thinking that there will be someone at home lying on the bed again today makes me cry. Sniff.”

 

He continued the disgusting act.

Unlike Agnes, whose expression gradually disappeared, Laslo leaned down and listened to him.

 

“It seems like a big problem, Baron.”

“Yes, Your Excellency, I have no other choice in this situation. For my family, I shed tears of blood and have to….”

 

As if she might yawn while listening further, Agnes waved her hand to dismiss.

 

“I understand, now leave.”

 

After checking her reaction, the Baron bowed and disappeared.

 

“You’re very patient. Are you really listening to all of that?”

“Isn’t he pitiful? He must have a lot of worries because of his family”

 

She made a subtle expression.

 

“Did you believe all of that?”

 

Just by looking at his worried face, she can tell that he believed everything the Baron said.

Agnes was worried about Laslo. How can such an innocent and honest person live in this harsh world?

 

‘I have protect him’

 

She firmly grasped his sleeve.

 

“Huh? Princess, what’s wrong?”

“If others ask you to invest in the future, make sure to tell me first.”

“Of course.”

 

Laslo laughed.

Agnes quickly forgot about it after returning to the Arpad Townhouse.

Perhaps, if it were not for the mining documents on Laslo’s desk, there would be no reason to bring them back out of her mouth.

 

“Sapphire mine?”

“Oh, Baron Leslin left it behind.”

“Leslin? Are you talking about the guy we met at the banquet hall?”

 

Agnes opened her eyes wide and looked at Laslo.

 

“Are you going to buy the mining rights?”

“No. After looking closely, I found out that it was a black sapphire mine.”

 

“Ha. Black sapphire. How dare they bring something inferior to copper?”

 

It is only named sapphire, but black sapphire was just a shiny black stone.

The price of the gemstone was significantly low but the mining cost was quite high.

 

“Furthermore, the initial exploration report indicated that a large number of artifacts were discovered.”

“Artifacts?”

“That’s right. Artifacts from the Golden Age were found in the mine. Because of that, mining is difficult, and everyone seems to be avoiding it.”

“That makes sense. If artifacts were found in the mine…”

 

Agnes felt a strange sensation before she could finish speaking.

Artifacts from the Golden Age where magic blossomed brilliantly. And a mine.

She vaguely remembered hearing about it somewhere.

Agnes stopped in her tracks and squeezed her head.

 

<……….Who would have known that the artifacts from that mine were used to make magic stones.>

 

After pondering for a while, a phrase from a letter Chavolti had sent in the past suddenly came to her mind.

 

<That’s why the Arahan archipelago turned upside down. Looks like the wizards are packing their bags and heading to Etron Territory. With just that, even ordinary people can use magic…>

 

“That, Ah, Baron Leslin.”

 

Agnes was too shocked to continue speaking after the blow to the back of her head.

 

“Where’s the Baron’s territory? What’s the name of the land where the mine was found?”

“Hmm.”

 

He answered after a long look at the report brought by the Baron.

 

“It’s called Etron.”

 

Agnes felt a shiver run down her spine at the moment.

If she could use this well, she could earn not just a few times, but hundreds of times more money than Elemer.

 

“Princess?”

 

Laslo asked. Agnes barely turned her body to look at him.

 

“Etron. It’s Etron.”

 

She suddenly stood up from her seat and spun around. The word “Etron” was stuck in her head and wouldn’t leave.

 

“Send a messenger to the Baron right now.”

“To Baron Leslin? Why?”

 

Agnes smiled brighter than ever and said.

 

“I’m going to buy all the mining rights.”

 

There was a deep question in Laslo’s face. But Agnes just laughed.

 

ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚

 

The next day, Baron Leslin, who was contacted to buy the mining rights, rushed to the townhouse of Arpad.

 

“That’s an excellent choice. Duchess!”

 

The Baron signed the contract with a very excited face. As if he couldn’t afford any delay, he handed her a pen. 

 

“Here, just sign below.”

“Wait, I haven’t even read it all yet.”

 

Laslo sits next to Agnes with a grumpy face.

 

“Read it slowly and carefully, Princess.”

 

He handed out the contract to Agnes with a serious face.

 

But she,

 

<Ownership of everything excavated in the mine in the Etron Territory will be handed over.>

 

Only checked one sentence and signed it right away.

 

“Thank you so much!”

 

The Baron quickly took the contract.

Laslo sighed deeply

 

“Well, then what about the down payment?”

“I already told the servant to put it in the carriage, Baron”

 

Agnes said with a benevolent smile.

 

“When the mining starts, I’ll send the remaining balance then.”

“When are you going to start?”

“I’m thinking of sending someone tomorrow.”

“That’s right. Isn’t the sooner the better.”

 

Baron Leslin’s mouth opened so wide to the point where it seemed like it might split.

 

“The Etron territory is always open for you.”

“Thank you.”

 

With a satisfied smile, he carefully tucked the contract into his arms.

After the Baron left in high spirits, Laslo finally spoke up.

 

“Are you sure about this? Mining is more expensive than you thought.”

“I have no intention of actually mining anyway, so don’t worry.”

“Then?”

“There is something really important in that mine. I’ll tell you the details when I find it. Duke.”

“Something important?”

“Something really important.”

 

Agnes murmured confidently with determined eyes. Laslo stared at her intently before leaving the room.

 

ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚

 

“Princess.”

 

As Agnes raised her head, Laslo stood beside her.

 

“Are you okay?” 

 

The ball celebrating the new king’s coronation continued late into the night. Agnes stood on one side of the ballroom, watching Sebastian smiling and laughing. She sipped the cocktail he handed over.

 

“I’m fine. I just have to endure for three more days.”

 

Today marks the sixth day since the coronation ceremony took place.

In another three days, all ceremonies will be over, and Sebastian will become the king of Nirseg.

As the conversation ended, heavy music flowed from the entrance.

 

“Congratulations on your ascension.”

 

With the booming sound of drums, envoys from various countries entered. They presented all kinds of treasures and riches to Sebastian, offering praises and congratulations.

The king, who killed his twin sister and crippled his half-brother, greeted them with a generous smile.

A long procession with no end in sight followed.

 

“wizards!”

 

Someone shouted. The sound automatically bent my head. A group of wizards in white cloaks were entering the ballroom.

It has been more than a hundred years since the magic collapsed and the golden age ended.

Now all those who remember the splendor are turning to dust.

Even Princess Agnes, who had grown up as a princess, could count on one hand the times she had encountered them.

Only in the Arahan archipelago their reputation in maintained 

Agnes’s eyes sparkled. To find artifacts, she would definitely need the help of a wizard.

As she looked around for someone suitable to build a rapport with, she coincidentally made eye contact with one of the wizards in the crowd.

It was a man with intense red hair. He smiled when he saw Agnes.

The smile was as if they had a friendly relationship.

Thinking it might be a mistake, Agnes ignored him, but he strode confidently towards her.

Anyone could tell he was coming toward Agnes.

The red-haired wizard stopped five steps from where Agnes stood.

People whispered while looking at Agnes and the wizard.

 

“It’s been a while, Princess.”

 

He bowed gracefully.

 

“A while?”

 

Agnes found his warm greeting somewhat disconcerting. She swore she had never seen this man before.

Even from a distance, she sensed it, but up close, he was undeniably handsome, someone unforgettable at first sight.

His brightly colored red hair and golden eyes that seemed otherworldly were incredibly striking up close.

 

“Have you forgotten me?”

 

The wizard took two steps closer.

 

“I have no idea what you’re saying.”

“How could you forget me? I’m really upset. Princess.”

 

His tone carried a hint of disappointment.

Agnes couldn’t help but wonder why she felt so familiar with this man but couldn’t remember him at all.

In the meantime, he came two more steps closer.

Laslo, who was next to Agnes, wriggled his eyebrows. The proximity between the wizard and the princess was too close for comfort.

 

“It’s a bit too close…”

 

[Agnes]

 

It was a language she had never heard before. Or could that even be called a language?

The words echoing in her mind were interpreted instantly without passing through her ears.

 

[I’m the owner of your soul]

 

He reached out and stroked Agnes on the cheek.

There was no time to avoid it. Agnes closed and opened her eyes. At that moment, everything that she had forgotten came to mind.
