Chapter 154

The Right Timing (14)

The doctor contracted with the marquis was also occasionally called by the Count of Adelia. However, because of the expensive medical bills, he was then brought in.

“Where is he?”

Theo left Anna and an escort driver by Catherine’s side and ran with his escort knight and Marquis Rasmine’s escort.

Kian was struggling with three assassins, covered in blood. One could have been seriously injured, but the other two were the problem.

I can’t die like this…

Liliana was still held by the Marquis.

“Stop!”

The assassins backed away from the incoming sword. Five knights, including Theo, were running. As a result, the assassins decided that there was no possibility and withdrew from Kian.

If they knew that the opponent was Kian, they would have tried to end him somehow. However, it was in the dark, and the Marquis’s soldiers didn’t know about Kian’s swordsmanship skills.

Kian sat down when he saw the attackers running away. There were also severe sword wounds on his shoulder, but there were no places that weren’t cut, such as the thighs, arms, and legs.

Theo, who came running, recognized Kian while looking at his condition.

Why are you here… Didn’t you leave the capital?

“I-I’m a doctor!”

The doctor, who afterwards came to his senses, rushed to him. The people here heard Anna and thought he was a doctor, but Kian didn’t know that.

While he retrieved the medicine bag from the carriage and treated Kian for his condition, Theo examined the bodies of the dead assailants.

Anna said he was mugged, but he didn’t appear to be mugged.

Well, Anna’s appearance…

There must have been a reason for her to go around wearing a wig. Seeing that the marquis family was looking for Anna, he suspected it was to avoid them.

Kian was out of breath while receiving treatment. The wound was severe, but it was already healed thanks to the fact that he was of mixed race. As befits a competent man, the doctor gave him a treatment that didn’t interfere with his regenerating powers.

“I’m…”

The doctor who was choosing medicine from the bag saw Kian. From the doctor’s point of view, he was like a savior who appeared out of nowhere.

“I’m married to Lady Liliana. Tell me what happened to the Marquis. Did something happen to Liliana?”

The doctor was embarrassed for a moment. The same was true of the others listening.

Liliana was the only child of Marquis Wenson. Married this young man of mixed race? Not a merchant?

“T-that lady…”

The Doctor looked around as if he was confused. He received money from the Marquis, but most of them were scrap metal, and even got sent assassins disguised as robbers.

“She’s pregnant. She has to be careful because it’s in the early stages…”

Kian’s face turned pale at the words. Liliana wasn’t very healthy, and she was a fragile lady. He was concerned about the child, but Liliana was his biggest worry.

“Because the Marquis asked me to use the medicine to erase the child…”

The doctor beckoned Kian, feeling awkward to tell others, and said carefully in his ear. He knew that the Suin people or their mixed race were outstanding in physical ability.

Kian could easily understand the talk.

“I tricked him by telling him that the medicine that protects the mother and child is a miscarriage drug. I lied that it would have a natural effect if she ate it for a month… I’ll buy you a month.”

“Thank you…”

He only did so because it was obvious that the couple was in love, and it was seen that the mother was the one he was trying to protect. The doctor rose from his seat, determined to flee the capital.

Theo, who sent one of his escorts to call a guard, returned.

“Are you going home? The guards will come and ask you about the incident.”

“It must be the men sent by Marquis Wenson. I saw a servant driving a carriage suddenly pull up the carriage and run away!”

Theo also knew how events between aristocrats and commoners were handled. So he watched the doctor go away without holding on to him.

Kian was also struggling to get up.

“…Why don’t you rest more?”

“I have to go back, too. If the Marquis finds out I’m in the capital, he’ll try to kill me…”

Theo nodded. Because he was acquainted with Kian, his escort knights brought his horse and helped him get on the horse.

Kian on horseback disappeared into the darkness. Theo wondered whether he should tell Rowena about this.
