She Was Sent by God Chapter 62
“I specially wore this because my grandfather is coming today.”
“Oh, you care about this old man.”
At once, the marquis’ attitude changed rapidly. He looked at his granddaughter with moist eyes.
“Do you know how heartbroken I was when you just left without seeing me at the ceremony?”
Marquis Songrad has only one child.
Theresa Songrad, Agnes and Chavolti’s mother, is his only child.
Because she was the only daughter she had a hard time, Theresa was raised as the marquis’ successor.
For this reason, the marquis originally did not want Theresa to marry into the royal palace no matter what.
However, Teresa fell for the king’s enticement and became the second queen as soon as she became an adult.
Marquis Songrad still gritted his teeth whenever he talked about it.
– If it wasn’t for that dog, Theresa would ..
He used to emphasize that Agnes should sit on his lap and get married very late.
However, as soon as her precious granddaughter became an adult, she got married, so he could not see Laslo in a good light.
“Hmm. But the western part is very barren and the climate is hot, so I don’t know if the princess will be able to stay there for a long time”
Marquis Songrad found fault with this and was arguing that the Duke is not enough.
Agnes just laughed because she knew the reason well.
“No! If you took our princess, shouldn’t you make an ice cave in the castle?”
“....I did not think that far.”
“Did you not know that the princess is struggling with the hot summer?”
Unlike the marquis, which gained momentum, Laslo’s head gradually lowered.
If I leave it like this, I thought Laslo would have to put his head on the floor, so I hurried in between.
“I heard the dinner is ready, let’s go. Grandfather.”
“Hmm. Shall we go?”
After sending Marquis Songrad first, Agnes and Laslo walked side by side.
“Duke, are you okay?”
Agnes who was looking at Laslo’s frowning face laughed.
“The Marquis seemed to be unhappy with me.”
He sighed feverishly.
“It’s not because of you. He hated the fact that I got married.”
“Why?”
“If I go to my husband’s territory after marriage, he won’t be able to see me when he wants to.”
“For that reason?”
“It’s a very important reason for my grandfather. He cares so much about us.”
“It looks like it.”
“Originally, Songrad’s child was precious. They’ve only seen one child from generation to generation. You’d be surprised to hear how much my grandfather loved me and Chavolti when we were little.”
“I’m still surprised enough.”
Laslo replied more seriously than usual.
Agnes laughed because his expression was a little funny.
Throughout the dinner, Marquis Songrad showed his worries and affection for Agnes.
“Do you know how well the princess drinks?”
He bragged about his granddaughter.
“When the princess was 16 years old, she drank with me all night, and I lost. That’s when I realized it.”
“What?”
“The princess is going to be a big star!”
“How much can you drink?”
Laslo asked with a grim face. Marquis Songrad raised his eyes fiercely.
“You can’t tell just by looking at it, right?”
Marquis Songrad bragged about Agnes’ childhood in his memory.
No matter how long it was, it took more than twice as long as usual.
“I want to talk to my grandfather. Can you leave us?”
“Of course.”
At Agnes’ words, Laslo stood up right away without saying anything.
“He’s a good person.”
“Why are you doing this when you know it?”
“Oh, he took my granddaughter, do you want me to hug him”
“I’m doing well in the West.”
Agnes said with confidence. Marquis Songrad was speechless for a while.
“That’s a relief.? When the king said he would send the princess to the West, I was really disappointed.”
“Grandfather.”
“If I knew this would happen, I would never let Theresa go to the palace....”
He frowned a lot and struggled to continue his speech.
“If the princess or the prince had grown up in an ordinary noble family, they would not grow up worrying about their lives. It’s all my fault.”
“Why is it my grandfather’s fault? Straighten your face.”
Agnes held the marquis’ hand tightly.
“Grandfather, did you hear about the attack on the king at the hunting ground a while ago?”
“Of course. They still haven’t found the culprit, have they?”
“Actually, it was a group of people after me.”
“What?”
Marquis Songrad was surprised.
“What are you implying?”
“The king must have decided to kill me.”
“For what? Wasn’t the matter settled when you married the Duke of Arpad?”
“The family that he thought would disappear suddenly came to light.”
“Only for that reason.”
He fell into deep thought.
“The king will surely kill me. My husband’s neck will be cut, and he will burn our estate on fire, catch me like a prey, and kill me in the end.”
My voice was full of conviction as I spoke of my death.
Marquis Songrad bit his lips tightly and shook his head.
“Is there a reason why the king should? Now, the ceremony for the throne is over.”
“Grandpa. He doesn’t kill people for a reason. He just does it.”
He didn’t say it out loud, but he agreed deeply.
“What are you going to do?”
“I have to live.”
She spoke briefly and firmly.
“I will survive no matter what.”
“What you’re saying is..”
The marquis’ complexion changed at once. Agnes erased the smile left around her mouth and stared straight at the marquis.
“Grandfather, I have a favor to ask of you.”
“What is it?”
“Please support me.”
“Of course...”
“No matter what happens.”
At Agnes’ firm words, the Marquis Songrad shut his mouth.
It’s only then that he realized what she was talking about.
There was a short silence.
Agnes didn’t rush him.
“Princess, Theresa, and the prince are the only ones I have left.”
“I know, grandfather.”
The marquis looked carefully at Agnes with eyes full of nostalgia.
When she was born, wrapped in soft fabric, she was like beaming with light. I remember it clearly, but it felt different now that she is grown up.
“I’ll do that. Songrad will support Arpad and Princess no matter what.”
“Yes.”
Agnes got up from her seat after finishing her speech.
Marquis Songrad followed and grabbed his granddaughter’s small hand tightly.
“Princess.”
“Yes.”
“You have to live long. You can’t leave this old man alone.”
The marquis left the words and walked ahead.
Agnes somehow couldn’t take her eyes off his curved back.

As soon as they returned to the territory, Niall was waiting in front of the gate.
“Master, Madam!”
Unlike usual, he jumped up and stood in front of the carriage.
“What’s going on?”
“I’m in trouble.”
“What?”
Agnes, who was sitting in the carriage, jumped up in surprise.
“What’s going on?”
The couple followed the butler with serious faces.
Niall led them out and took them to the warehouse.
There was an enormous number of boxes piled up.
“Niall. Did you make a fuss to show us that the gold coins came in?”
“It’s not gold.”
“Then what?”
Niall smiled and told the servant to bring the stacked box.
“Carrots.”
“Suddenly ... what carrots, no?”
Laslo was surprised to see the box Niall opened and showed.
“What’s this?”
“Carrots, master.”
“How is this a carrot?”
The carrots they usually knew were very thin, short, and full.
However, there were dozens of things in the box the size of an adult woman’s forearm.
In addition, there was a vivid scarlet color.
“This is not all.”
Niall was excited and showed me other boxes.
“This is an onion, this is a turnip, ah. This is garlic.”
Everything he showed me.. Each and every one boasted a tremendous size.
The two couldn’t close their mouths.
“Is this because of the fever reducer?”
“Yes. I sprayed it on other vegetable gardens, and I think it’s the most effective on old crops.”
“What about wheat?”
“I don’t know exactly because it’s not the harvest season yet, but I think it’ll be more than last year.”
“I should thank Adrienne.”
“Yes. There were a lot of hardships before the wheat harvest, but this year it was easy.”
“That’s good news.”
“It’s all thanks to you.”
“Hmm? Adrienne did it.”
“No. If you didn’t recognize Adrienne first, there wouldn’t have been such a miracle in Sutmar.”
“That’s right. Niall’s words are a hundred percent correct.”
“Hmm. What?”
The two men looked at Agnes with sparkling eyes. The eyes were too much for me.
“It’s not like that....”
Agnes became shy for no reason.
