Chapter 187: Behind The Dark Corner (3)
Madeline and Cassian stood hidden at the back of a brick building, watching as Klaus’s Carriage was left unguarded with only the Coachman who had dropped from his seat and was leaning against the carriage, anxiously waiting for his master to return.
The slightest sound heard was enough to make the Coachman flinch and spin, his nervousness and fear were visible in the way he carried himself, and that made him an easy target for Madeline and Cassian to distract.
"Are you ready?" He asked Madeline who nodded in return, and since the plan had already been made, Madeline adjusted her dress before strutting out from where she had hidden towards where the carriage was parked.
Getting closer to the Coachman, Madeline’s expression switched into one of panic as she ran towards the Coachman’s direction. Deliberately faking her fall that elicited a short cry from her, the Coachman’s attention was instantly gained as his guards were raised.
He looked at the civilian dressed in military uniform, her face contoured with panic and fear as she looked up to the guard who was wary of her sudden presence.
"Help me! Please! They’re coming!" She stretched her hand forward with the hopes that the Coachman would assist her up to her feet, equally looking behind her from time to time, further increasing the Coachman’s suspicion that she was being chased by someone.
Noticing the Coachman’s reluctance to help her up, she pretended to have pains all over, unfortunately, it was difficult to force tears out of her eyes in order to convince the Coachman better, and she secretly gritted her teeth in slight frustration before masking the panicked look on her face.
"Who... who are you?" The Coachman finally found the courage to ask, and Madeline’s pitiful face made the Coachman lower his guard a bit. "My teammates, they’ve been abducted, please, help me! He’s coming for us!’
"Who is coming?"
