Chapter 56 Taking care of the princess (1/2)

Leon went out for a while when I was eating the lunch Tricia brought on bed. The kitchen made me some hot porridge that is easy to digest as per Dr. Andrew has specified.

While I was eating my porridge, I taste and smell some herbs in it.

”Is there some herbs mixed in the porridge?” I asked Tricia who was standing at the door.

”Yes princess. Those herbs are the ones Dr. Andrew brought a while ago and specifically said to include in your meals.” Tricia replied. ”He said it will help you in healing.”

”Oh.” Is what I just said.

Maybe this is what Dr. Andrew said that would help me strengthen my body.

”And he had also left the medicine he prescribed to you princess. You must take them after every meal.” Tricia said respectfully.

”I understand.” I replied.

I was halfway done with my porridge when someone knocked on the door. Tricia opened it and Leon came inside. He was looking fresh with new clothes. I guess he bathed when he left a while ago.

Speaking of bathing, I also feel sticky with sweat.

”Am I allowed to take a bath?” I asked no one in particular. I forgot to ask the doctor this question.

”Yes princess.” It was Tricia who answered me. ”The doctor said you can take a bath with lukewarm water. He gave us some herbs to put in your bath that can help your muscles relax.”

'Thank goodness.' I thought to myself and sighed in relief.

”Are you done eating?” Leon asked me. He took his regular seat in my bedside.

”I think I can't finish my porridge.” I looked down guiltily.

I hear Leon sigh. ”It's fine. It is your first meal in the past three days. I don't want you to have a stomachache if you force to finish it.”

Leon got the tray where the bowl of porridge was placed and gave it to Tricia.

”Is her medicine brewed and ready?” Leon asked Tricia.

”Yes sir Leon.” Tricia replied. ”It has already been prepared. I'll go and get it in the kitchen.” She slightly bowed to me and Leon and left the room with the tray.

”How are you feeling?” Leon asked looking at me with a warm smile.

”I'm doing a lot better, thank you.” I answered politely.

”That's good.” Leon replied.

Not long there was a knock on the door and Tricia came in with the bowl of medicine.

”I will be serving the medicine to the princess.” Leon reached for the bowl of medicine from Tricia. She looked a little flustered handing the bowl of medicine to him.
