The reason Kian could recognize Anna’s face on the street was because he knew her in disguise. Anna asked as soon as she saw Kian.
“Horse! Do you have a horse? Hurry up and bring the horse!”
“The horse is at the inn… What’s wrong with you?”
“I need it right now, come on! Let’s go to the east street when we come back. You know what a marquis’ carriage looks like, right? You can sneak after the carriage!”
Anna worked for a long time at the Marquis’ residence, so she even knew who the Marquis contracted for and where he lived.
So she was able to predict where the carriage would pass.
Just in time, a festival was held to celebrate the Crown Prince’s wedding, so there was a crowd at night. Even at night, people were out on the street, so the coachman would have walked around a relatively secluded alley.
The same may be true on the way back with a physician.
If the reason I thought of when they called for a doctor is correct, the carriage would purposefully head to a less crowded place.
The doctor who had a contract with the marquis was a respectable person. He was a good man who had looked after the Marquis for a long time, but the Marquis would think of him as just a commoner.
He was a marquis who would think that getting rid of a commoner to hide his family’s disgrace was no big deal.
According to Anna’s explanation, Kian ran to the inn where he was staying with a thoughtful face.
He hurried up to the street where Anna had spoken. He also stayed in the capital for several years and worked for the Count of Adelia.
It was close to the address of the Marquis of Wenson, so it was possible to predict which way the Marquis’ carriage would go.
It’s coming. Is that it?
While the wide streets were noisy, the streets that weren’t in the festival were relatively dark. There was a carriage of a marquis running down the street.
It was a slow pace different from when they left the Marquis estate in a hurry.
The doctor in the carriage was burning with anxiety. As soon as the word pregnancy came out of his mouth, the Marquis glared at him as if it was his fault.
Earlier, that murderous gaze was evident.
“What should I do to remove a child?”
The doctor’s mouth was shut by the Marquis’ question. From the look of Lady Liliana, she must have been dragged by force.
The doctor recited several medications, embarrassed. It was a rare drug that he didn’t know well.
“If you use it well and let her eat for a month… Naturally…”
The answer seemed to satisfy the marquis. Seeing the Marquis’ face relieved, the doctor thought he had passed a crisis, but the Marquis’ eyes were shining coldly.
In fact, the medicine the doctor said wasn’t a medicine that harms the child. On the contrary, it was a medicine that helped pregnant women with a weak uterus. It’s something ordinary doctors don’t know much about, and he probably hadn’t heard of the combination either.
It is clear that Marquis Wenson intends to harm me! I have to run away as soon as I return home!
He was worried that his son, who started working as a knight’s servant, would protest, but his life depended on it. The doctor made up his mind, greeted the marquis, and left the room.
It was the butler of the Marquis of Wenson who sent him off. He handed the doctor a bag full of gold coins. The doctor was perplexed by the eye-opening amount.
“No, this much…”
“Today’s work is… Secret…”
The doctor nodded his pale face at the butler’s careful words. Although the Marquis of Wenson paid money timely, he was never a generous man.
He’s not going to disguise an incident like a robbery for this gold coin, is he?
However, if he takes it home, he can use it as a fund to run away. Since it wasn’t an atmosphere to escape without taking this bag of gold coins anyway, the doctor took the bag and climbed into the carriage.
A different servant was driving a carriage than when he was brought to the estate. The doctor looked at the back of the servant’s head, feeling his spine cooling.
“L-let’s go.”
The servant set off the carriage without a reply.
Inside the carriage, the doctor opened the sack to check inside. As expected, the top was a gold coin, but the bottom was a piece of metal, not a gold coin.
The doctor’s face turned blue when he saw the bag. It wasn’t because he was angry, but because the marquis’ plan seemed to be visible.
The place where the butler handed the sack of gold coins to the doctor was in front of the front door of the mansion. In other words, he saw the butler handing out gold coins to the coming and going servants, maids, and errand boys.
