Chapter 59 Getting back up (1/2)

It has been three days since I woke up. I diligently followed everything that Dr. Andrew has prescribed. I drink my medicine and let my body rest these past three days.

”Good morning princess.” Tricia greeted me when she came in. ”The warm bath is ready.”

Tricia has been helping me take a bath and massaging my sore muscles after. Herbs are place in the bath with warm water.

”Thank you Tricia.” I said. I slowly sat down and stood up. Tricia ran by my side to help me

”Princess take it easy.” Tricia told me. ”Let me get the wheel chair for you.”

”Don't worry. My body is not sore now. And didn't Dr. Andrew said that I can start to walk after three days.” I said.

”B-but princess.” Tricia still looked worried.

”All of you have helped me a lot when I was sick in bed. I am very thankful to you.” I expressed my heart felt thanks.

”Of course princess. I am happy to serve you.” Tricia smiled at me. ”At least let me help you walk.”

”Okay.” I smiled.

I took Tricia's helping hand and walked towards the bathroom.

My bathroom in the mansion is as big as two rooms combined. The bath is like a mini pool at the center.

Once we went in the bathroom the smell of herbs ate lingering in the air. Slight steam is seen inside.

”Let me help you with taking your clothes of princess.” Tricia said.

I blushed embarrassed. It was normal for princesses to be waited upon by maids even when they bath. This made me awkward when I first came here. My mother thought me to become an independent young girl when I was little, so the maids that were helping me in every and any way makes me shy. I let them serve me in other things except in taking a bath. I always take a bath by myself since then.

But now that my body is weak, I am happy that Tricia is here to help me. It is quite embarrassing but I appreciate the help she was giving me.

Tricia took of my clothed gently and helped me in the pool of warm water. I sat down and let my body submerge. I can see the herbs floating on the water. I pick up a lead and smelled it. It smelled of menthol that helps me calm my senses.

Three days ago my body was sore and stiff the first time I entered the herbal bath. But after one dip I feel my muscles relax and loosen. Now I can feel my body refreshed and energized. This bath really helped a lot.

”Princess let me wash your hair.” Tricia said politely. I nodded my head in agreement.

Slowly, Tricia wet my hair and applied scented liquid to wash my hair. Tricia massage my head and it started to bubble. I felt relaxed with Tricia's massage that I can feel my eyelids become heavy.

”Would you like me to wash your body as well?” Tricia asked.

I became wide awake in no time. ”Oh no need Tricia.” I said abruptly. ”I can manage.”

I took the soap from the corner and started to wash my sled thoroughly.
