Chapter 54 Strengthen myself (1/2)

(POV Leon)

A day has gone by after the night of the festival. Alicia was still sleeping soundly in her room. I was sitting right beside her bed, not wanting to leave her even for a second until she wakes up.

I hear the door open and I look into that direction. I see general Robert come inside.

”It has been a day and she hasn't shown any signs of waking up?” The old general asked me.

I shook my head. I look at Alicia, still holding her warm hands. At least I know she is warm and breathing.

”I called the royal physician to take a look at her.” Robert said.

I looked at him in surprise. Alicia's identity as a descendant of the royal family of Atlantia is now delicate. If anyone knows of her true identity, then different kinds of people will be coming after her.

”Do not worry. He is on my side.” Robert said.

”Are you sure about this general?” I asked him seriously. ”You know that Alicia's identity must be kept a secret at all cost. I am having a hard time with the Atlantians the other day, knowing about Alicia. And they are still at large.”

”I trust this royal physician with my life.” Robert said firmly.

I sighed and nodded in agreement.

”Let him in.” Robert said just beyond the door.

A young man came inside the room. When I look up I see none other than Dr. Andrew.

”Sir Leon, this is Dr. Andrew, the royal physician I was telling you about. Dr. Andrew, this is Sir Leon, Alicia's knight.” Robert introduced us.

”Sir Leon, it's a pleasure to meet you again.” The doctor extended his hand.

”Same here doctor.” I took his hand and shook it.

”You two have met each other?” Robert asked in confusion.

”It was a coincidence that I met princess Alicia and her knight the night of the festival.” Andrew explained. ”My carriage almost ran over the princess. Thankfully sir Leon here was quick to pull her away.” The doctor smiled.

”Yes, we met coincidentally.” I said.

”Let me check the princess first.” Andrew said and walked at the bedside of Alicia.
