Chapter 218: Worried Husband

Chapter 218: Worried Husband

Drayce was in his study after he left Seren with Tyra and the royal physician to take care of the matter. Seeing her so scared and in pain he felt bad for her but then what she said at that time, hurt him too though he didn't pay attention to it being busy inspecting the bed and finding the source of blood which was so unexpected to him.

'Have you poisoned me?' Her words buzzed in his ears and her scared and face accusing expressions as if he was a monster, flashed in front of his eyes.

He sighed, 'She still doesn't trust me,' he thought and continued to look outside towards the mountains.

It was morning and Jasper came to greet his king and assist him with his work like every day. He had got to know that the Royal Physician had been summoned to Queen's chamber so he understood the Queen was not well.

"Good Morning, Your Majesty," Jasper bowed, looking at Drayce who was standing by the window calmly.

Not getting a response to his greeting, Jasper went to him, "Is there anything that is worrying you, your Majesty? I heard the Royal physician had to visit her Majesty."

If it was another time, Jasper would have teased Drayce as his friend but seeing him so serious, Jasper understood it was not a simple matter.

"Nothing much," Drayce replied and went to sit in his chair, "Tell me the matters we have to look into the Royal court."

"Today it's nothing important, Your Majesty. I will take care of it," Jasper offered.

Drayce agreed as at this moment he had nothing in mind but the worry for his Queen. "Hmm! Anything else?"

"Nothing as such that needs your immediate attention, Your Majesty," Jasper replied. He didn't want to bother Drayce with anything when he was worried about his wife.

Just then, Slayer entered the study, "Your Majesty, Royal Physician, Garion Sanyi is here to see you."

"Send him in," Drayce instructed and Slayer left.

Jasper bowed, "Your Majesty, I will take a leave then." Knowing Drayce, Jasper was aware that he would not like anyone around when something concerned his wife.

Drayce nodded and Jasper left.

It had been long since Jasper had seen Drayce this serious ever and said, "Dray!"

Drayce, who was busy in his thoughts, looked at Jasper to know what he meant. Calling him by name means, it was nothing about official kingdom matters.

"Don't worry too much. Everything will be fine," Jasper assured and Drayce nodded again as his friend finally left the study.

Drayce's friends were aware of when they had to treat Drayce as their king and when they should be by his side as his friends. They never failed to carry both roles perfectly whenever Drayce needed them.

The Royal Physician, Garion Sanyi entered Drayce's study and bowed, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Drayce looked at the middle-aged man in his late forties, with short hair and grey eyes, who wore a white long robe and white cap with fine gold embroidery on it and had a Royal crest attached to the left side of his robe at the chest. The uniform was a signature one for the royal physician and his apprentices wore the same.

"How is she?" Drayce asked.

Looking at the worried King, Garion Sanyi replied, "Your Majesty, there is nothing to worry about. It was the first time for Her Majesty to get her monthly cycle. Being not aware of it, Her Majesty seemed to be panicked about it."

"First time?" Drayce said and thought, 'No wonder she acted like that.'

"Yes, your Majesty, and it is totally fine. Though it should normally happen by the age of fifteen, there are few women who take time and that number is very low. Her Majesty seemed to belong among them. Moreover, it's good that it didn't take much time or we might have to give some medicines to Her Majesty to get her monthly cycle. We have given Her Majesty medicines to relieve her pain and now she is sleeping. Soon she will feel better."

Drayce felt relieved that there was nothing to worry about and nodded to what the Royal Physician said.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing that I would like to say," Garion Sanyi looked hesitant.

"What is it?" Drayce asked.

"It would be better if Your Majesty let Her Majesty rest during these days," Garion Sanyi replied.

Already a cold and serious-looking King of Megaris, stared at the royal physician as he understood the underlying meaning of Garion Sanyi's words. As a husband, he was the one who cared for her the most and he needed no advice from anyone. No one knew how understanding and patient and caring he was with her already which came out of him naturally.

Looking at the king, who had turned even colder, Garion Sanyi immediately lowered his head, "I didn't mean to offend Your Majesty."

"You can leave," Drayce instructed coldly as he understood it was the Royal Physician's duty to think about the wellbeing of his patient.

Once the Royal Physician left the study, Slayer and Jasper entered.

"Any instructions, Your Majesty?" Slayer and Jasper asked.

"Let me know if it is the right time to see Her Majesty?" Drayce instructed.

Bowing Slayer left while Jasper accompanied Drayce who was sitting silently in his chair. Slayer returned in a while and informed, "Your Majesty, Her Majesty is resting at the moment but Lady Tyra said Your Majesty can visit."

As if he heard what he wished, Drayce stood up and disappeared from the study with a strong gust of wind, without saying a word to the other two who didn't find it surprising the way he disappeared.

Jasper looked at Slayer, "After so long I am seeing him like this. The last time it was when we were in that mysterious forest and you disappeared."

"Hmm," Slayer agreed and commented. "Even if it was you, he would have been the same. He values the ones who are dear to him but unfortunately, there are not many of them."

"Now he is married so we can expect to get more additions to those few numbers," Jasper gave a meaningful look to Slayer as he smiled pleasantly, "I can't wait to see little devils playing around here and there."

"Yeah, It will be fun to see them climbing their uncle Jasper's shoulder and pulling his leftover hair out."

"Keep my hair out of it," Jasper gave him a displeased look and said, "You are always so tight-lipped to talk about anything as if one needs to pay you to say something. But when it comes to me, how can you talk so much, huh? Were you my mortal enemy in the previous lifetime?"

"Might be," Slayer smiled lightly and walked to leave the study.

"Hey, you even smiled," Jasper exclaimed.

Slayer continued to walk as he said, "You should work more today as Dray would be busy somewhere else." Commenting, Slayer left and Jasper frowned, "They all want my hair to be gone so they will look more handsome than me."

With a strong gust of wind, Drayce appeared outside of Seren's bedchamber. It had been long since he left her chamber by leaving everything to Tyra and each passing moment was filled with worry. Now he got the chance to go to his wife, he had no patience left to walk like an ordinary human.

The servant standing out of the bedchamber felt that strong gust of wind and immediately bowed to their King who appeared out of thin air. "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Not reacting, Drayce stepped closer to the door of the Bedchamber and the two servants opened it for him.

When Drayce entered the bedchamber, Tyra was busy instructing lady Xena and the two nurses from the royal physician department.

Everyone bowed to Drayce and left the bedchamber except for Tyra. Not saying a word, he walked towards the bed where Seren was sleeping calmly while covered under the thick blanket. Though it was nothing to worry about, he couldn't help but feel worried after seeing how she reacted before and the pain she felt.

Drayce sat at the edge of the bed and touched her forehead with his hand where the flower mark on her forehead shone brightly under his touch. Tyra noticed and felt surprised but said nothing at the moment to the silent and worried husband.

The more he was getting to know about his naive wife, the more he felt bad for her. She was seventeen but knew nothing about the important things in life. What had she done all those years, just living inside that tower, and getting to know about the world through the books? How sad it was that even the animal gets to understand their own life's perspectives but this smart human knew nothing at all and she always looked suspiciously at everything new to her.

"Your Majesty, need not worry. Her Majesty has understood it and she will be fine afterward," Tyra said.

Drayce nodded and stood up, "I would like to have a word with you in my study."

Tyra nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty," and Drayce left.

Instructing Xena and others, Tyra Left to go to Drayce's study. She understood there is something serious that her King must want to discuss.
