Chapter 139: sneaking out of theatre

When Killian entered the building he was looking at everything with wide eyes. Red seats were placed across the room in a series of lines where she stood. The stage was big enough for one to have enough sectioned rooms to play a long script with different settings in it. But that wasn't all that this theater was about. 

Before entering this place, they had stepped up. Taking the stairs as if they were going to the highest part of the building to reach this place. What he had seen outside was the top of the building which was magnificent.

There were chandeliers that were placed at the top, multiple ones with candles that were burning brightly to illuminate the paintings which were at the top of the ceiling. The entire place was illuminated in a color of warm gold low and he had seen nothing like this that made his eyes only continue to look at it.

I let Killian take in his surroundings. Giving her the time he needed to enjoy something he had never seen before. while i instructed the lady to say what we wanted her to bring when it came to the drinks and food so that we wouldn't be disturbed later once the play would start.

When the guests had finally seated themselves, the music started from the front of the stage. The tempo of the music slowly moved from the base to the top which touched the ceiling and every part and corner of the theater.

The actor and actress came out as the curtains were pulled apart from either side. Wearing rich clothes that resembled any other elite who had come to witness and enjoy the play today. With the music and dialogues which she could hear, Killian glued his eyes on the stage. It was a play that he had never heard of which made him curious about where the story was going.

When they were into the play for ten to fifteen minutes, it was then he noticed that there were book pamphlets of the play which was in the room. He took the parchment and started to read it, it was an old folk tale where a child helps his father to find a new mother but in the end, he never gets the love he desired as the whole love is transferred to the child the new couple had together.

He stood in front with my mother while I and Damien took back seats. 

"Mother, are you very fond of theaters" asked Killian once we settled in the balcony rooms.

Fist the show and then his question made me uneasy.

Taking the wine which i had placed to rest next to my side, i took quick sips from it to reduce the dryness in my throat.

"I was fond of plays when I was 20 years old," I replied precisely, not wanting to tell him that, I used to sneak out of the house and come here with Damien and my brother dressed as a man, so that I could watch all kinds of play.

As the play continued, Killian was immersed in the show completely, I was glad that I brought him here.

I signalled Damien and he nodded, so I slowly stood up from my seat and before anyone would notice, I draped a cloth around my body and used a veil to cover my face and walked out from the back passage.

Roselia was already waiting there for me with the old maids' carriage of Baringstone's house.

I held her hand and boarded the carriage as the carriage moved towards the narrow empty lanes; within 10 minutes, it stopped in front of the old physician lane, which was famous for all the types of medical facilities.

"I have already taken the appointment in my maid, Scarlet's name," Roselia informed me and I gave her a grateful smile.

We walked in and soon it was our turn to enter.

"Yes,"

"Sir, I am having difficulty in remembering a few things and my emotions are not in control, I am becoming rather violent or too emotional." I informed the doctor as I checked my nerves.

"Your pulse is not normal too, have you taken strong alcohol, i can feel some in your breath." he asked and i bit my lip,

"I had taken a few sips to calm my body, but i had also taken this preserved tea." i added as i handed him the pack of sage tea.

He did a few tests on my body as we sat there silently, "you have been given drug to make you emotionally weak, the long term usage of this drug can make you mentally sick and a violent person." he said with furrowed brows.

"I will check this, and these are some medicines to calm your emotional imbalance." he said as he handed me  black liquid, even its smell made me nauseous.

"We have to go back soon." Roselia urged and I closed my eyes and the liquid slowly went down my throat making sure I felt every drop of it stinging to my body.

"The reports of the tea will be available after two days, but i have a question, why would someone try to drug a mere maid" he asked and the hold of my hand on my dress tightened.

"It is done by my lover, my lord, when I deny to make love to him." I replied , biting my lips which were the only part of my face visible and Roselia coughed.

"I get it, now you can go." said the old physician as his ears turned red.

We nodded and walked out. Sitting in the carriage, Roselia looked at me with wide eyes, "why did you say that?" 

"Did you have any better excuse?" i asked back and she glared at me, 

"You better stay alone till the medicine works, you are becoming bolder by the drug.

Why have you even taken it in the first place?" she asked and i gave a self depreciation laugh.

"I am collecting evidences Rose, and sometime we have to sacrifice small things to achieve something big"
