Chapter 89
A few days after Anastasia woke up, she went out into the garden with a single servant, Mare, in disguise, by her side to accompany and protect her. And just as Michelle had guessed, a person wearing a mask over their face attacked her, but Mare easily protected her, punching the assassin in his chest, causing serious damage, forcing the assassin to flee. "My Lady, are you okay?" Mare quickly asked, in concern.
Anastasia nodded a bit, but she was clearly shaken up. She had never expected that Michelle’s guess could be spot on, and that the black market was targeting her. But she was also thankful that Michelle ordered the servants to protect her.
What she didn’t know was that the assassin who attacked her just a moment ago was none other than Michelle herself, to proceed with the plan to manipulate Anastasia.
So, at the moment, Michelle was crouching behind the wall of the Archduchy, holding her hand over her chest to feel for the damage. She had ordered Mare to hit her for real, so Anastasia couldn’t suspect anything, and since she didn’t use her spirit energy to protect herself, so Anastasia wouldn’t recognize her, Mare’s hit really knocked the breath out of her.
Nyxaroth was bubbling inside her body; he checked on her, and after a while saw a broken rib.
So, as Michelle took off her disguise mask, Nyxaroth contacted Cold Flame through the contract for him to come help pick her up.
Michelle herself didn’t think it was that serious, as she had received worse wounds during her life as an assassin, but since Nyxaroth and Cold Flame insisted on carrying her, she didn’t protest and let them.
While carrying her, the two made sure Anastasia wouldn’t see them, so she wouldn’t realize Michelle was wearing the same clothes as the assassin.
After putting Michelle in her bed, the two went to call the family doctor. At first, Michelle wanted to stop them since, as far as she knew, broken ribs had no treatment except resting for quite some time, if the broken rib wasn’t pressing on something or causing any other problems or damage to other organs; but thinking about the fact that she was in a different world, and the medicine was different, Michelle decided to see what the doctor would do and say about the broken rib.
