“When you’re in the capital, you can stay here. It’s only a few days, but you can’t be seen, so just stay alone for now. First, don’t go down to the estate and stay here.” Adrian showed Knox around the house with a dour look on her face. It was a small mansion that Apollonia bought for Adrian and his father Pedro Reese. This place, where Seta once stayed, wasn’t far from the imperial palace but was located in a place that wasn’t easily visible, so it was suitable to hide people. Only a few hours after Apollonia and Uriel returned, Apollonia found Knox again and delivered a few words. Her Highness must have asked him to stay in the capital for a while if he didn’t mind.

“It’s luxurious for a person who once couldn’t overcome the hardships of life and got a job as an imperial physician,” Knox said. He had an innately crooked personality that he could not control himself.

“If you’re jealous, get a job and make a lot of money, too. Meet a well-paid employer.” Rather than being daunted by Knox’s sarcasm, Adrian responded as if she was teasing him further. Knox’s expression hardened a little. As an aristocrat, it was very difficult to have other professional jobs. It was also something other aristocrats would have laughed at.

“You must hate me.”

“You know very well.”

“Because I tried to kidnap the princess?”

“Yes,” Knox smirked. Having studied Apollonia for a long time, he also knew about Adrian. From the outside, she was the sole woman who took away three of the princess’ fiancees, but he was well aware that she was Apollonia’s devoted maid.

“Did you hear how the day ended?”

“I didn’t hear everything in detail, but it’s obvious.” Adrian, who had been looking the other way with a sullen expression, raised her eyes to meet Knox’s gaze. She had to look up for a long time because she was short, but she seemed relaxed.

“After Uriel had beaten you up, I was compelled to listen to your story from Her Highness and feel a bit better about it.” She said, looking up and down at Knox’s face and the wound on his arm. Then, she opened the table drawer and took out a couple of ointments. “If you apply it every day from left to right, it will heal quickly.” Adrian had a completely different impression from Apollonia, but perhaps it was because they had been together for a long time that they resembled each other a bit. She wasn’t intimidated by the difference in their status or size and she also had the habit of using her time efficiently. Plus, why would she talk about the kidnapping as well as find and hand over the cure to the kidnapper at the same time?

“It’s ironic that you’re helping me cure my wounds while also saying that you’re wary of me because of the kidnapping. Is it possible to understand the decision of a lady who wants to join hands with me after I tried to kill someone in the first place? Ugh.” Without warning, Adrian opened a small cabinet and applied medicine to the wound on his arm, causing Knox to stop asking and scream. “Isn’t that poison and not medicine? It hurts more than getting hurt!”

“Well, it’s a raw material that can also be used as a poison. So it will probably hurt.”Adrian applied more medicine to the freaked Knox. f(r)eeweb(n)ovel

“AAACCCKKK!”

“If one mixes it well, your wounds wouldn’t leave any scars. It’s okay to trust this medicine. My father formulated it himself.” Regardless of her patient’s scream, she used a lot of medicine to heal Knox’s wound. The three types of ointments burned his skin painfully.

“Put it on your face.” Knox followed her directive with a scowl. It was a terrible medicine, but it might be less painful if he applied it himself. Adrian looked calmly at Knox struggling with pain and asked. “What did you say earlier? Did you say that you didn’t understand Her Highness’s decision to seek cooperation from you, a person who tried to kill her?” Knox nodded. He couldn’t elaborate because he was too busy screaming but the purpose of the question he was asking was as Adrian said. “You don’t know Her Highness well, considering that you’ve done a background check on her for a long time.” She continued while searching the other drawer. Knox became nervous, wondering what poison she was taking out this time but what she held in her hand was a bandage. “Her Highness doesn’t have anyone around who would threaten her life. She wouldn’t even reach out to Sid Byan himself, not Sid Byan’s son if she thought he was a threat. So guess what?” She threw a bandage at Knox, who had just finished applying all three medications. Knox, who couldn’t move his hands freely because the pain wouldn’t go away, was accurately hit on his forehead by the item. Adrian’s behavior was quite grumpy, as opposed to her sparkling eyes and small, fine hands.
