The seat that Agatha was assigned was the highest seat closest to the royal family's seat.
The hunting banquet is held in a free atmosphere, so you can eat and drink and return to the barracks whenever you want.
The plan was to sleep overnight and return leisurely the next day.
The moon and stars were shining in the completely pitch-black night.
Enoch clinked his cup of wine and whispered quietly.
“How was your day?”
“It was good.”
They had a delicious dessert and the plate was bigger than they expected, but they also defeated the Neuta family and Enoch won the hunting festival.
Working with the grandson was a bit difficult though.
That also ended better than expected.
Agatha also had a vague idea why Ferdinand had brought Adan.
“When I make jewelry out of leather, I’ll show it to you first.”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
As she sat by the fire and drank a lot of warm wine in his arms, she began to feel sleepy.
It was a tiring day. As she was sleeping, something warm and soft touched her head and fell.
Enoch wrapped his arms around Agatha's shoulders, who was already half asleep.
“Shall we go in?”
"Yes..."
Enoch carefully took the cup out of her hand and lifted Agatha into his arms.
Even among many people who showed similar appearances, the nobles were staring at the backs of the Marquis Aratus and his wife.
Enoch returned to the Aratus family's barracks, laid Agatha on the bed, and sat down next to her.
“...”
She's not the type of woman who lets go easily.
Long, rough but straight fingers quietly ran their fingers through her disheveled blond hair.
“Leon.”
First Vice-Captain Leon Takran, who had been standing like a shadow at the master's call, approached silently and bowed his head.
“Did you call?”
“I sent you the article attached to the contact book.”
For a moment, a look of embarrassment appeared on Leon's face.
“It is clear that the Duke of Neuta was punished for Madam’s decision to limit him to the social world.”
It was said that he would be exiled from the capital for at least three years. The charge was insulting the imperial family.
“Do you have anything to say to me, First Vice-Captain?”
“...”
But his gaze was still fixed on the sleeping Agatha.
The momentum, with its heavy weight, slowly began to weigh down Leon.
'I'm sorry, Ma'am.'
Leon, who had been muttering quietly to himself, opened his mouth.
It was a long time later that the lights went out in the Aratus family's barracks.
Adan, whose proposal was rejected without a second thought, couldn't sleep all night after the banquet.
'No debt?'
The reason Adan is living like this now is because Agatha Nobilis divorced his father.
But you say there is no responsibility!
From Adan's point of view, it was nonsense.
But then the last phrase suddenly came to mind.
"If that's the case, then I've also been harmed by Your Highness's appearance, so I should ask Your Highness to take responsibility. Don't you think something is strange?"
“No! It’s all Agatha Nobilis’ fault!”
Adan could not now admit that he had been wrong.
The plan to settle in Roxbard has failed, so it seems he must return to Ferdinand's service.
If he goes back now, his father will persecute him again as punishment for not doing what he asked.
All of this was the result of Agatha Nobilis's choices, so it was only right that she take responsibility for it as well.
“So, from now on, what I do will also happen because of your choices.”
Adan got up from the bed, muttering softly.
Although Ferdinand can't be touched.
He had one clue that might allow him to exact some revenge on Agatha Nobilis.
That is Agatha's fourth ex-husband.
It was about Henry Insidio.
Ferdinand, who divorced Agatha ten years ago, has been following her every move with regret.
Since she was such a famous person on the continent, it wasn't that difficult.
It was not difficult for Adan, who had been assisting Ferdinand since he entered the palace, to learn about Agatha's activities over the past ten years.
From the moment he decided to rely on Agatha, Adan had been watching her every move.
Agatha Nobilis, who had been through many divorces and marriages, had one partner who was not a good fit for her.
He was none other than Baron Henry Insidio, Agatha's fourth ex-husband.
His divorce from Agatha and his exile were all due to suspicious letters.
Adan guessed that it was Agatha who had created it.
“What will happen if Baron Insidio finds out about this?”
It probably won't turn out well, Adan shouted outside the barracks.
“Is there anyone outside?”
Saint Latis, a knight who had been with him since childhood, came in and paid homage.
“Have you found it, Your Highness?”
“...There’s something you need to do.”
It didn't matter if it wasn't true. All he had to do was fan the flames of suspicion.
The northernmost part of the continent was a harsh place where cold winds blew even in summer.
Henry Insidio was in his sixth fall there.
“I miss my bedroom in the mansion.”
Even though the fireplace was roaring, the cold air of the exile did not warm up at all. Henry muttered as he drank the alcohol he had secretly brought in a while ago.
During his married life at the first mansion of the capital, Nobilis, Henry Insidio lived the most luxurious life of his life.
“If only it weren’t for that letter that framed me!”
If it weren't for that incident, Henry could have gotten Agatha pregnant, given birth to her child, and then taken over everything in Nobilis.
Henry drank the entire bottle as he reminisced about the past.
“I almost succeeded.”
Agatha Nobilis believed in Henry's love and had no doubts about it. It was all the result of his careful calculations and acting.
"Henry Insidio, the sinner, get on your knees!"
One day, a group of imperial knights stormed into the mansion carrying a letter forged in his handwriting.
"I'm sorry! I never wrote such a letter!"
He tried desperately to defend himself, but it didn't work. Agatha, who had read the letter, also gave up on Henry.
"Nobilis cannot bear your sins with you."
He was taken north and imprisoned in a castle, and a few months later he heard that Agatha, who had divorced him, had married another man.
"Is that true? Agatha married another man?"
He couldn't believe it, so he checked several times, but the reality didn't change.
It was the moment when Henry, who had hoped that he could escape with the power of the Nobilis family, was completely ruined.
After that, he barely managed to survive by bringing in firewood, food, and alcohol with the money he had left.
There was nothing Henry could do in his northern exile, where nothing was given to him.
“I will kill whoever forged the letter.”
All he did was grind his teeth and grow a grudge against someone who had ruined his life.
“I will catch you and kill you!”
Then one day, a rascal sneaked into the place of exile carrying a large block of cheese and two chests of wine.
“What kind of guy is this!”
A drunken Henry was sprawled out in front of the fireplace, greeting his uninvited guests.
“Hello, Baron Insidio.”
He was a man with a mustache and a sharp look.
“This was sent by someone who feels sorry for the Baron.”
“Who is that?”
“Aren’t you more curious about who framed the Baron?”
“That’s what I'm talking about!”
An excited Henry jumped up and started swearing.
“If I just find out who you are, I’ll stake everything on killing him!”
He was so drunk that he couldn't even stand properly, and his anger and murderous spirit were so strong that it made his skin tingle.
The mustachioed man smiled secretly, delighting in Henry's feelings that were maturing and festering.
“Your Grace, you already know the answer. Think about it carefully.”
Then she focused Henry's attention with a quiet voice.
“Who benefited most from the Baron’s exile?”
Henry had always wondered about that too, but no one really benefited from it.
“Why do you think it doesn’t exist!”
Moustache called Agatha's name with a passionate voice.
“As soon as the Baron went into exile, didn’t she marry another man as if she had been waiting for it?”
“Well, Agatha needs a husband...”
“If she needed a husband, she should have protected the Baron.”
He nudged Henry to think about it.
“Has Agatha Nobilis ever done anything for you, Baron?”
Henry thought back to the day six years ago when he was falsely accused.
“Is it really true that the power of Nobilis has not been able to find the real culprit?”
"No way."
“It’s not that they couldn’t find it, it’s that they didn’t find it.”
As Henry listened to what he said, he began to think that it really was true.
“Even after the divorce, she married Marquis Shinjere.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Henry fell for the mustache's lead and began to suspect Agatha. Then, it felt as if his brain, which had been soaked in alcohol, was waking up.
“She got married right after she got divorced. That’s really strange. Unless she had promised to do so.”
“That’s it!”
The hunting banquet is held in a free atmosphere, so you can eat and drink and return to the barracks whenever you want.
