She Was Sent by God Chapter 120

“The knights that the servant of God has harmed. How are they? Is it really bad?”

“Is that what you’re going to ask me as soon as you wake up?”

“Answer my question.” said Agnes, barely getting out of bed. She barely raised her back half way up, but she was already out of breath.

“The people in that room did not die since you have awakened at the right time.”

“Ah,”

A sigh of joy came out of her mouth. Agnes finally managed to raise the corners of her mouth and smile. Neither Max nor Reika nor the knights who guarded her died. That alone made her very happy.

“More than that, Agnes, I don’t think you heard but you have awakened.”

“What do you mean awakened?”

“I mean, your blood has taken me completely.”

Eugene grabbed Agnes’ left wrist, which was inside the blanket, and pulled it gently.

“Do you know the origin of this crest?”

“When the first king of Nirseg received a revelation from heaven to establish a kingdom, a dragon engraved it to fully inherit his blood, ah.”

As he was talking, she realized why Eugene brought this up.

“I heard it was magic engraved by a dragon.”

“It’s a magic I engraved.”

“What? You?”

“He was my first contractor.”

Agnes was astonished, and for a moment forgot the pain, and stared at him.

“I thought the legend about the first king was literally a legend.”

“How did you wake me up in the woods? It’s because of your blood, or to be precise, the special power that flows through your crest in your hand.”

He smiled and let go of her left hand. Agnes touched the crest on the back of her hand again.

“What about awakening?”

“It means that the energy of the dragon I gave you and the magic of the crest are strangely intertwined, and your blood is completely accepting of me, and your soul is close to a dragon.”

“What?”

“Well, the shell is human, so you can’t use the dragon’s power at will.”

He shrugged his shoulders. Agnes was distracted by the sudden information.

So, it was the power of the crest that I was able to call Eugene, and the magic of the crest and the energy of the dragon in my heart intertwined..

The more she organized it, the more complicated her head became. As if he had noticed it, Eugene clearly summarized the situation.

“I mean your half human and half dragon now. Agnes.”

“..is that possible?”

“I don’t know either. Is it possible?”

Eugene giggled and laughed frivolously or with great satisfaction.

“What will change when you awaken?”

“As long as you don’t rip your heart out, you won’t die, and you can bring a demonic beast to your knees with a single gesture.”

“Can I now use magic?”

“Yes,”

The amazing ability made her lips open. If she can control the beast, then the treason...? It will be much easier than she thought.

It was now different from the past. Unlike in the past, when she fled in fear of the weight of the crown, she now gained the strength to take a step closer to the crown. Agnes gleamed in the darkness. If she makes good use of this ability....

“Well, now that the sixth seal has been lifted, they will not come and torment you. Don’t worry.”

“That’s a relief.”

A sense of relief rushed in. After talking for a long time, she felt very tired. Eugene quickly laid Agnes on the bed. Strangely, he was more friendly than before.

“You’re tired, aren’t you? Go to bed.”

“Why didn’t you respond when I called you?”

“Oh, actually, I was a little locked up at that time. I tried to escape and come as soon as possible.”

“Well, now... Will you come when I call you?”

When her head touched the pillow, her eyelids became heavy. There was a rarity of words followed by words. It sounded spoiled unintentionally.

“Of course, Agnes,”

He reached out and swept her cheek.

* * *

When Agnes woke up, several people were waiting for her. Zoltan’s expression was especially unusual.

“I have nothing to say. Princess. I’m sorry. Whatever punishment you give me, I’ll take it.”

“What are you saying all of a sudden?”

The face of the overly serious Zoltan was frightened.

“I heard that you were almost in for a great deal of trouble because of the beast that came all the way to the castle. I should have cared not only about the outside of the Castle, but also about the inside. It’s my fault.”

“Raise your head, Sir Zoltan,”

Fortunately, Eugene seems to have manipulated their memory appropriately.

The opponent was too strong to hold Zoltan entirely responsible.

“It is my responsibility, as the lord, I have not been able to defend the castle thoroughly.”

“.... I’m sorry.”

“Let’s check the security of the castle later. How about Sir Max? What about Reika?’

“Both are recovering.”

“Well, that’s good,”

Agnes let out a noticeable sigh of relief. On the other hand, Zoltan’s face hardened more.

“I have something to tell you,”

“Tell me,”

“The damage to the knights and the people of the land is considerable as the flying horse broke into the territory. There have been several deaths.”

“Oh, dear. Call the bereaved family and give them plenty of consolation money.”

“Some of the dead know the princess.”

“Hmm? Who is it?”

Zoltan spoke, frowning in pain.

“Sir Beller was badly injured trying to stop the beast from going down to the village...”

“Who?”

She doubted her ears.

“Sir Beller is dead. Princess.”

“Who died? Say it again.”

“..princess,”

“No, Lord Beller will not die. He didn’t even go to war. Why? Why is he going to die?”

Agnes got out of bed. She couldn’t believe what Zoltan said.

I didn’t send him to war on purpose so that he wouldn’t die, but why?

“I’m sorry,”

Zoltan bowed his head and remained silent for a while.

Was I too complacent? Since Roland Sandor was saved, I thought Beller would live too if I changed the situation a little.

“.... I see. Let the funeral be held in due course.”

– Don’t worry about it.? I’ll take care of it soon, so please go inside the castle first.

She remembered Beller’s last words.

He should still be alive. Why is that?

Her questions remained unanswered, and Beller’s funeral approached. In front of Beller’s coffin, his wife, whom she had only seen once, stood in a black cloth.

“Duchess,”

Christina bowed her knees slightly.

“My husband used to talk about the Duchess.”

“Really?”

“Yes, he saw you in the palace when you were young, and he said you were very cute, and wanted a daughter who looked just like you.”

“......”

“We both gave up on having children because it was hard.”

Christina fiddled her belly, which had not yet bloomed.

“Now that I can grant his wish,”

Tears quietly flowed down her cheeks. Agnes tried to offer some plausible consolation, but failed. Agnes, returning to her room after the funeral, stood by the window and watched the black procession.

“Why is Beller dead, Eugene?”

“He’s destined to die.”

Eugene stood beside her naturally.

“But Roland Sandor is not dead.”

“Instead, his uncle was hanged in the castle.”

Agnes turned his head quickly enough to make a whirring sound, and looked at Eugene.

“What does that mean?”

“It means that everything needs a price.”

“You mean you need a price to change your fate.”

She murmured. Eugene just smiled silently. The winter breeze from the window was bleak. Agnes closed the curtains completely.

***

The epidemic spread at an alarming rate. Rumors spread that the whole town had already been destroyed in the south and central regions.

{Once a rash occurs, the groin and armpit begin to swell. If you start having a high fever and you can’t overcome it, you die and if you overcome it, you will live.

This is a living hell. Madam, if they know you’re sick, you will starve to death because other people will avoid you.}

From time to time, Adrienne sends letters.

There was sorrow, helplessness, and little hope.

Shortly after the letter arrived, a plague broke out in Sutmar.

Fortunately, it was known in the early stages and did not spread seriously because the sick were immediately separated. Agnes encouraged the young people to use soap more diligently after that. There was a rumor that washing your body with soap would prevent you from getting sick, so they worked hard even if she didn’t ask them.

“It seems that the disease has spread to the capital.”

“Even the capital? Is that true?”

“Yes. I heard it from the merchants who were supplying the capital, so, I’m sure.”

Andrassy nodded with a stiff face.

“Oh, dear,”

Capital cities with large floating populations were vulnerable to epidemics. It was also the place that suffered the most damage except for the south.

“What about selling soap? What happened to the plan to supply it cheaply, saying it was helpful for the disease?”

“Well, the Duchess is pushing hard, so everyone uses it, but other lords seem to be trying to make money using it.” Andrassy said cautiously.

Then Agnes realized why no matter how cheap the soap was, it didn’t sell.

“By the way, what you said before,”

“Do you mean Devorsen?”

“Yes, I have looked at both Devorsen and the House of Thursby, and fortunately I have found a good way.”

“Well?”

“I found that Devorsen was the source of iron mine migration. I think we should aim there.”

“Iron mine? How?”

“It has been a while since mining started, so it seems that there are not many reserves left. These days, they seem to be looking for new investments using the mine as collateral.”

“Hmm. Really?”

“The most profitable thing now is the spices from the Arahan Islands. It’s a trend to buy it cheaply there, load it on a ship, and sell it expensive here.”

“Are you saying you should buy spices and sell them here?” asked Agnes, blinking her eyes innocently.

“No, we can approach Devorsen and invest in them, and then sink the ship.”

“What?”

“Oh, of course, I’m not really going to sink it, I’m going to steal it in the middle. Then it’s easy to take away the mine as collateral.” said Andrassy, rubbing his hands gently. They were on the same side, but he looked very scary.
