Agnes didn't understand why the young Count Castel hadn't killed her.
Searching her heart, she felt that everything she knew had already been extracted by him; by all logic, she was of no further use to him, and she herself had prepared to die.
But Count Castel had not killed her.
Not only had he not killed her, but he also provided her with good food and drink. Although she was imprisoned and her powers were restrained, she had never missed a meal, and the prison guards had not troubled or insulted her like those she had read about in storybooks.
She didn't know what that outwardly fragile but inwardly sinister and despicable man was really thinking.
After the interrogation was over, he seemed to have completely forgotten about her and never visited her again, this complete uncertainty about the future almost drove Agnes mad.
