Being a Novel Antagonist
Episode 40's
The knock on the door did not surprise Duke Carrol who was struggling on the hanky in his hand. He grinned and thought it must be Agatha. Well that's of course, because there's no way it's Louis or Anastasia.
"Lake in." Permission granted. Agatha immediately opened the door and entered. He was standing not far from Duke Carrol. If you notice more clearly, the girl's eyeball is not focused and a clear liquid has been urged to come out.
"Duke, I want to ask permission from you." Agatha was so hasty that she forgot to say hello. The duke realized it, yet he chose to be quiet.
"Yes. Say." Duke put his foot on the table. It then sucks in a shell and exhales the smoke into the air. Making anyone who can't stand it will be nauseous.
Agatha gave a light breath. He's trying to get away from the smoke."Duke please let me go to Rhodes." The girl's voice was shaking. Agatha grabbed her strong fingers to hear the reply from the master of the residence.
"Can't!"
Like lightning in broad daylight, Agatha was struck directly. He drowned in disbelief and prostrated himself on the carpet that lay all over the workspace. The cold was so gripping, as if to break his bones.
"I beg Mr. Duke. I'll definitely be back in a few days." The girl made a plea with low self-esteem. He really stuck his head on the carpet. Who would have thought, a girl like Agatha would do all that.
Over there, Duke again blew his breath, making smoke billow to the surface. Anyone would be claustrophobic if not strong. "All right I'll allow, but you're gone for no more than five days and also a further route."
Agatha did not dare to protest. Just being allowed is like a blessing. He got up from his position and bowed repeatedly to the Duke. "Thank you, duke." Throw-out. "I'll go today too." Agatha. Duke just nodded.
Agatha walked out of the room and returned to the room.
"Lucy, get ready for the dress I'm taking with me to Rhodes." His orders to Lucy. The curly-haired girl simply nodded with a tatan cengo.

Outside, a horse carriage had been prepared. There are two types. For a moment, he thought to himself, why carry two horse carriages while he would only be gone five days? The Carrol family's horse-drawn carriage was indeed larger than it should be, so it was enough to carry two people along with the goods.
Even so, Agatha chose to ignore. It's possible, the other train for Duke Carrol is going to a meeting. Agatha finally goes inside with Lucy. He deliberately invites Lucy to help him bring various needs. Not to forget, he was also escorted by his Diaz Marcelo-court knight protector.
"Uncle, let's go."
Agatha's. The horse-drawn carriage runs down the street. While on the road, the red-haired girl was just silently pensive. He was so panicked when he got there and the expected man was just---
Ah shit! Agatha couldn't hold her back until her tears came out so hard without her permission.
"Miss relax. Everything's gonna be okay." Lucy is encouraging. Agatha simply nodded and wiped away the tears that had not stopped.
***
A few days later, he arrived in Rhodes. Agatha was a little astonished, if the area had gone through a long war, then at least the condition of the people had yet to recover. But what he found was precisely the people who were flocking to hold a show. Even the society looks so prosperous, visible from their faces full of happiness.
Did they put on a show for Steven's defeat?
He was drowning. Lucy immediately led and calmed Agatha.
"Lucy, what if the rumors are true. What if Steven's body really has been hidden?" He asked nervously. As if hope had been dashed. He rattled his hair rough and wiggled Lucy's shoulders.
"Unexpectedly, I welcomed you here just to hear you say that, dear." The baritone's voice was able to evoke Agatha's assistance. He turned around and made sure. Instantly his body stiffened. His perfectly rounded eyes were slowly fragile and shed tears, tucked in a gratitude there.
"Steve's." His murmur was unclear and was just a lip gesture.
The man approached Agatha"Don't cry."Lontarannya later.
"Why don't I cry. You ordered people to meet me and tell me you're gone?How could I not cry!"
"Darling, calm down."
"Basic stupid! a liar! sucks!" He said while hitting Steven.
Steven was embracing Agatha so tightly that others could not separate things. He smiled with great satisfaction and cast a gaze upon the people so that they would pretend not to pay attention to him and Agatha.
"Calm down, from now on I'll always be by your side." He then kissed the head of Agatha.
"I don't need. I'm just a little shocked."
"Then be well. I'm gonna go." He said while taking off the hug.
"Don't go!"
"What am I here for?"
"I don't know! I'm, I'm just not happy when you go."
Steven rubbed Agatha's cheeks slowly so that the naughty tears were gone. "Steve, why are you lying to me?" Ask Agatha with a slight sob.
"That's a test the Duke gave me. After all, the person who met you was the former crown prince of Rhodes."
"What does that mean? The former Crown Prince?"
"Where ?"
"Follow it out." He took Agatha up to his dark horse. Agatha resigned and followed, while Lucy and Diaz, they also secretly followed.
Not long after, Steven has arrived at a luxury building with a classic feel. In front was a door like a towering wall. After entering, there were many trees embedded neatly surrounding the majestic building. In the center there is a large shower with a statue of a Greek goddess holding a jug. Even the huge pillar that supported the building was like it was made of gold.
Agatha was stunned by the beauty of the place. He hardly blinked.
"Come on." Steven returned to his fingers and pulled Agatha in. Inside, no less luxurious. All are blue and red. All the servants had lined up neatly welcoming them on the right and left.
Did Steven win the war? Everyone bow to him.
After some time, they finally arrived at a room with a red carpet towering in the middle. It's like a hall. Inside that palace hall, there had been many palace higher-ups present. Most of them were middle-aged men and young women. Agatha could only smile as one of their daru bowed respectfully.
Steven advanced forward, to a higher level. Where the nobles can hurt them clearly.
"Agatha Loren de Carrol, will you be queen of Rhodes and accompany me to lead this government?" Steven leaned over and took out a ruby-eyed diamond ring, and the dignitaries bowed.
"But Steve, mr du-"
"My son, just accept it if you want. Your Excellency Steven has sacrificed a lot for you. Treasure, life and time he sacrificed to get my blessing. So if you want you can take it. My blessing has been given since His Majesty Steven won the war two years ago and was made king a few months ago." The duke suddenly appeared among the crowd of nobles. This made Agatha surprised. It turned out to be true, the other horse carriage was indeed prepared for the Duke. Agatha sighed.
"But Luciu--"
"Do you like it?"
Hearing Steven say it, the red-haired girl came to think. Agatha did not have feelings for Lucius. He approached Lucius only to have a bright future. However, he could not continue to lie to his own feelings. Agatha is embarrassed to admit this, but she has realized that she likes Steven ever since she bought information about invading Rhodes. At that time he was really worried if the rhodes area was attacked. However, he tried to keep it deep in order not to influence his mission in approaching Lucius.
Unfortunately, in pursuit of Lucius' heart, there is a bully who is Sheila. It led him to suspect that the possibility of obtaining Lucius completely, would be so difficult, since Sheila's existence was supported by the King of Corinth. Slowly, their relationship grew. But Agatha did not care. This was evident to him who had hardly visited the palace for many years.
"No, I don't like it." It pauses.
"I-I accept you." she replied in a low voice. Maybe only Steven heard that.
Steven rolled his eyes. He really did not believe Agatha's answer just now. So he smiled idly. "What did you say? I didn't hear. "
"I accept you! I'm going with you!" His chuckling was loud until the nobles stood up and applauded.
"Good." With a satisfied face, Steven gave the diamond ring to Agatha. Lucy and Diazpun hadie at the last minute. Luckily, they saw their lady with a ring.
***
A few days later, the engagement was held. Agatha relinquished her position as crown princess of Corinth and became future queen of the rhodes region.
Duke Carrol looked so happy. He can move to Duke Max's Argenrdite faction freely. He was also relieved that his two daughters had gained influential positions in their respective regions. The middle-aged man felt successful in educating his daughters even without the help of a wife. Only Louis was married. Ah suddenly occurred to the Duke, what if Agatha's wedding was accompanied by Louis' engagement? After all the candidate Louis-Ghea Kurl-is a Rhodesian. The door to access is easy.
"Dad, I want to tell you the happy news." Anastasia approached Duke who was looking at Agatha and Steven with a sad look.
"Yes?"
"I'm pregnant with Duke Max's son." It pauses. " The doctor said*he's three months old, sorry to tell you now. " Lontar Anastasia. (*The title of medicine was first conferred by Schola Medica Salernitana around 1000, including one given to a woman, the Trota of Salerno . The title was legally recognized in 1137 by Roger II of Sicily and in 1231 by Emperor Frederick II, in the Constitution of Melfi . Source: Wikipedia :)
"It's okay, my daughter. I'm so happy." The Duke hugged Anastasia. This is the first time Duke Carrol has hugged his daughter. Perhaps because of the happiness that was given that day.
