Agnes accompanied Mary back to her room, helping her lie down before speaking softly.

“Mr. Bartz had a heated argument with Mr. Maximus. That’s why he’s in such a bad mood. Please forgive him; he didn’t mean to be rude to you. He’s under a lot of pressure. He’s upset because Mr. Peter’s family wants to take him to Florentia, but Peter didn’t want to be buried there.”

“Don’t worry, Agnes,” Marcus said, his voice firm. “She’s coming with me.”

As Agnes cleaned his bloody lip and brow, she saw the tension in Marcus’s expression soften slightly.
