Lucia Chapter 33 [part 1]


 < — Damian — > (4)


Anna returned from her outing with her hands full of books tied up in a string. These days, she’d been working on finding a cure for the Duchess.

She’d combed through the bookstore and collected all the books related to medicinal herbs and asked the owner of the bookstore to definitely contact her whenever a related book came in.


She wanted to raise her voice and greet her but because Dorothy was holding onto a man and acting fussy as she subserviently bowed her waist, she just watched blankly.

‘Just looking at his attire, he doesn’t seem like someone in a high position…’

When they separated, Anna approached Dorothy.

“Who was that? Seems like someone I’m seeing for the first time.”

“The first time? Well, He is indeed someone full of wanderlust. He’s the Duke’s doctor.”




“Because our Duke is such a strong person, he doesn’t really need a doctor. It’s often joked that the most idle person here is the Duke’s doctor. But there is no one here that doubts his ability after all, our youngest had almost died but lived thanks to him.”

Even though Anna was having a conversation, she kept glancing in the direction Philip had disappeared in.

The next day, Anna went to find Philip at his residence. It was wooden house nestled at the corner of the outer walls. There was thick tree near the house making it seem even more remote.

A primary physician should be able to arrive as early as possible if there was an emergency which was why Anna stayed inside of the castle.



“Hello, Sir Philip. I am Anna, the Duchess’ doctor. I heard the Duke’s doctor was around so I came meet you and at the same time, give my greetings.”

The old man with a somewhat odd air around him watched Anna slowly, as though he were searching her face, then displayed a good natured smile.


“For me too, just call me Anna.”







‘This person is skilled.’

Anna couldn’t keep up with Philip’s intelligence. Doctors usually have a unique treatment method that only themselves know about or have some understanding concerning diseases but when Philip began to speak, there was nothing he didn’t know.

Or rather, he would even suggest an easier treatment method.

‘If it’s him… he might know about her Grace’s symptoms.’

From the start, Anna’s original purpose was to seek advice regarding the Duchess’ symptoms. However, unlike the general sicknesses, her Grace’s symptoms were a personal secret.




Anna eventually decided on simply studying as much books as she could, then departed from Philip’s residence.



“I…Are you monitoring me?”



Jerome didn’t know the details but he could tell that there was something to it so he placed more eyes around Philip to watch him closely.



“I’m not saying that you cannot meet. You also don’t have to say what you’ve talked about. But you cannot allow Sir Philip meet her Grace or mention him to her. I have been instructed to not allow her Grace to learn of Sir Philip’s existence.” (Jerome)



Jerome thought about it for a moment.

“If it’s just that, then it’s fine. But, her Grace can only know it as your treatment.”

“…I understand.”

As being under surveillance from the ones above was an extremely uncomfortable thought, Anna did not go to find Philip for a few days.

But when she began to think that if Philip were to go on another trip, the day they meet would be in the distant future, she grew nervous. Eventually, she went back to see Philip.

“Anna, welcome.”




‘If he did something evil, then surely he wouldn’t just be under surveillance. Sir Philip is a doctor but he’s also a baron, therefore it’s probably some kind of political issue.’
