āWhen youāre in the capital, you can stay here. Itās only a few days, but you canāt be seen, so just stay alone for now. First, donāt go down to the estate and stay here.ā 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, wasnāt far from the imperial palace but was located in a place that wasnāt 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 didnāt mind.
āItās luxurious for a person who once couldnāt overcome the hardships of life and got a job as an imperial physician,ā Knox said. He had an innately crooked personality that he could not control himself.
āIf youāre jealous, get a job and make a lot of money, too. Meet a well-paid employer.ā Rather than being daunted by Knoxās sarcasm, Adrian responded as if she was teasing him further. Knoxās 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.
āYou must hate me.ā
āYou know very well.ā
āBecause I tried to kidnap the princess?ā
āYes,ā 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 princessā fiancees, but he was well aware that she was Apolloniaās devoted maid.
āDid you hear how the day ended?ā
āI didnāt hear everything in detail, but itās obvious.ā Adrian, who had been looking the other way with a sullen expression, raised her eyes to meet Knoxās gaze. She had to look up for a long time because she was short, but she seemed relaxed.
āAfter Uriel had beaten you up, I was compelled to listen to your story from Her Highness and feel a bit better about it.ā She said, looking up and down at Knoxās face and the wound on his arm. Then, she opened the table drawer and took out a couple of ointments. āIf you apply it every day from left to right, it will heal quickly.ā 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 wasnāt 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?
āItās ironic that youāre helping me cure my wounds while also saying that youāre 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.ā Without warning, Adrian opened a small cabinet and applied medicine to the wound on his arm, causing Knox to stop asking and scream. āIsnāt that poison and not medicine? It hurts more than getting hurt!ā
āWell, itās a raw material that can also be used as a poison. So it will probably hurt.āAdrian applied more medicine to the freaked Knox. f(r)eeweb(n)ovel
āAAACCCKKK!ā
āIf one mixes it well, your wounds wouldnāt leave any scars. Itās okay to trust this medicine. My father formulated it himself.ā Regardless of her patientās scream, she used a lot of medicine to heal Knoxās wound. The three types of ointments burned his skin painfully.
āPut it on your face.ā 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. āWhat did you say earlier? Did you say that you didnāt understand Her Highnessās decision to seek cooperation from you, a person who tried to kill her?ā Knox nodded. He couldnāt elaborate because he was too busy screaming but the purpose of the question he was asking was as Adrian said. āYou donāt know Her Highness well, considering that youāve done a background check on her for a long time.ā 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. āHer Highness doesnāt have anyone around who would threaten her life. She wouldnāt even reach out to Sid Byan himself, not Sid Byanās son if she thought he was a threat. So guess what?ā She threw a bandage at Knox, who had just finished applying all three medications. Knox, who couldnāt move his hands freely because the pain wouldnāt go away, was accurately hit on his forehead by the item. Adrianās behavior was quite grumpy, as opposed to her sparkling eyes and small, fine hands.
