Chapter 46

Luna blinked and shouted.

“I’ve been following Sir Zoltan for weeks, oops. No. I watched you, but you weren’t seeing anyone.”

“Do I have to meet her? She’s just someone I have in my heart.”

“Who is that?”

“I don’t think I have an obligation to tell Miss Luna about that.”

A cold wind blew across Zoltan’s face.  Luna wept and shook her lips before she finally burst into tears.

“Sigh.”

Agnes sighed secretly for a long time.

I began to think that I had intervened between the two for no reason.

Luna shrugged her shoulders and could not easily stop crying.

Agnes handed her a dry handkerchief.

‘Should I postpone using cloud seeds?’

“Can I leave now?”

Zoltan asked. While touching her temples, Agnes was about to say yes.

“Don’t go.”

At that time, someone I never thought of popped out of nowhere.

“Oh?”

Agnes looked back in bewilderment.

“What?”

“I’ll tell you again here.”

Zoltan jumped up from his seat. Ney took a step forward.

Luna, who had not yet figured out the situation, looked at the two alternately.

“I don’t want to go out with you anymore.”

“Whose choice?”

“I told you. I don’t want to get married.”

Ney said it coldly and straightforwardly. The corner of Zoltan’s mouth went up on only one side.

Agnes couldn’t keep her mouth shut in surprise.

“What, you two? Since when?”

“It’s been a while.”

Ney responded coyly.

It was only a while ago that they growled whenever they met, but when did they get into a relationship?

“Then, the person you said you like……..”

Luna stood up and looked at Ney.

“Why do you keep saying you don’t want to get married? I said I’d take responsibility.”

Zoltan said, sweeping his hair roughly.

“My dream is to live and die as Madam’s maid.”

“No, you don’t have to do that.”

Agnes shook her hand in embarrassment.

It was rather rare for those who once became a princess’s maid to live as a maid until the day they die.

Conversely, there were far more cases of becoming a maid in order to obtain a good marriage.

“That’s great. I don’t want to get married unless it’s you. Just live with me until you die in this castle.”

“Young master, don’t be clingy just because we’ve spent so many nights.”

“Hyuk.”

Luna, who was listening to the conversation next to her, opened her mouth and looked at Ney.

Agnes purely admires Ney.

I knew that Ney enjoyed a free relationship when she was in the palace, but I never imagined that she was this powerful.

“What? Clingy? Do you want to see what really clingy is?”

Zoltan glared and took a step closer to Ney.

“I was holding back on wanting to pluck out all the eyeballs of the bastards who made eye contact with you. Clingy? Oh, okay. I should take this opportunity to be clingy.”

“I don’t care if you pick me or not.”

Ney didn’t even snort. Rather, she went back behind Agnes as if she had nothing more to say.

Zoltan smirked and looked at her,

“I should get going.”

And then he left his seat.

“Ah…”

Luna hesitated and opened her mouth.

Agnes nodded and waved her hand silently. Luna hurriedly bowed and left the room.

There are only two left in the room.

“…Ney.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

It felt like nothing happened because her voice was no different from usual.

“Are you really going to be my maid until you die?”

“No.”

An answer came out immediately.

“It’s an excuse to reject a clingy man.”

She spoke calmly without changing her expression.

“…I see.”

Agnes kept her mouth shut for some reason, she’s afraid to ask more.

“I’ll talk to Luna.”

“Hmm?”

“Only Luna can do climate magic, right?”

“That’s true.”

Agnes looked at Ney with a mysterious face. It was a look that implied a lot of meaning.

“Don’t worry.”

Ney grinned.

I didn’t expect much, but like a lie, Luna came to Agnes a few days later.

“I’ve been very rude the other day. Duchess.”

Luna politely said greet first, unlike before.

“What do you think?”

“You got a lot better.”

I don’t know what Ney told her, but her face brightened up a lot.

“I’m going to be different!”

Luna clenched her fists and shouted.

“Ms. Ney taught me how to live.”

“How to live?”

“Yes. She told me what’s important in life.”

Agnes’ expression was difficult to describe in words.

She agonized over whether to comfort her or ask what the hell it was.

“Men are supposed to pass by like the wind in our lives.”

“Oh, well. That’s right.”

Agnes agreed.

“You called me because of the cloud seeds, right? What should I do?”

Luna asked with motivated eyes.

“Well, it’s been a while since it rained on the land. I heard that you can make cloud seeds and make them rain.”

“Yes, that’s right. What should I do about the duration and scope?

“How far can you go?”

Then Luna smiled confidently and said.

“I’ve been studying climate magic for over a decade. If you have enough mana stone, you can make a flood.”

“Oh!”

Her eyes opened wide. Agnes brought a map and marked where the farmland was.

“Here, here, and all of this south. Will it be possible?

Sutmar has the largest territory in the west.

Normally, a lot of farmlands is empty because the residents kept running away and the beasts invaded, but this year almost all of the land was full.

“Of course.”

Luna took the map.

“It’s going to rain tomorrow morning.”

She firmly predicted, looking at the scorching sun over the window.

“I’m looking forward to it.”

* * *

“It’s true.”

“I was about to buy food in advance in case of a bad harvest, but this saved me an hour. You did a great job. Princess.

“It wasn’t me, but Ney did a great job. Because she persuaded Luna.”

“Oh, yes. It’s the princess’ maid.”

“Did you hear about it Duke?”

“Hmm.”

He rubbed under his chin with an awkward face.

“I heard that Zoltan was rude to her. I’ll scold him.”

“Oh, what. Hmm.”

Seeing Zoltan walking around with a black sea squirt dead face these past few days, I thought first that I should comfort him.

Compared to Zoltan, Ney’s face was glossy.

“How’s Sir Zoltan?”

“These days, he almost lives on the defense line.”

Not long ago, when I asked Ney what happened, a neat and cool answer came back, saying, “It’s all sorted out.”

I don’t know the exact circumstances, but I think Sir Zoltan was probably dumped hard.

“Really?”

“He’ll be back when he’s ready.”

Laslo muttered, looking at the rain-covered window.

Zoltan had a desire to do well with Ney. In fact, he is an impeccable groom without his fiery nature.

So, I asked her what she thought about it again.

– I can never marry a man who drinks alcohol all the time.

Ney said this with a cold face. She was so determined that she couldn’t ask twice.

“I’ll just let them on their own.”

I knew clearly from their actions.

It’s much better to leave the work between men and women than to be nosy for nothing.

“Duke.”

“Huh?”

Agnes dug into his side. Laslo naturally hugged Agnes’ back.

“I hope it’s a good harvest this year.”

“Yeah”

The couple stood listening to the sound of rain for a long time.

Once it rained, the crops grew well with momentum.

In addition, Adrienne’s antipyretics were also quite effective because the crops that were rolled up from time to time were different in size.

“Is this really a potato?”

“Oh, well. That’s right.”

The residents were puzzled with potatoes the size of an adult fist.

Even though the autumn harvest has not come yet, Niall asked if he should build more food warehouses as soon as possible after guessing how much wheat they could harvest.

Agnes smiled and told him; he should do it.

It was a day when the sun was breaking every day through the greenery.

As usual, I was wrestling with the heat, and suddenly I heard the sound of heaven and earth vibrating.

Bang!

The castle shook with a tremendous roar. The objects on the bookshelf fell.

“kkyaak”

Ney screamed in surprise. Agnes, who was sitting in the lounge, jumped up from her seat.

“What the heck is that?”

She ran to the window in fear that the beasts had invaded.

Fortunately, there were no beasts seen over the window. The bell also didn’t ring.

I was snooping around the window, when Laslo hurriedly opened the door and entered.
