@Ela G20 I re-read from the chapter were she asked for the lawyer and even though he was worried about the divorce, he still handed her a trustworthy lawyer business card and proceeded to warn her about not staying out until night because of bandits attacking specifically the noblewoman at night. She understood and even made plans to come back early, but got distracted and overstayed, and in her words:
"For Jeffrey and Anais to be in such danger...it's my fault.
If I hadn't unnecessarily stopped by Walter & Newman, if i hadn't dawdled, they both would have returned safely.
The robbers didn't appear in the original story, so i thought i wouldn't encounter them, i was too complacent... I have to take responsibility and protect these people."
