Chapter 206 - A High Fever (1/2)

I open my eyes to the heavily. Looking around, I was in my room lying down in bed. The room was a little bit dark with only the light from the fire place illuminating the interior. I slowly sat up and felt that my body was heavy and in pain.

”Ouch.” I made a silent cry from the ache that my body was feeling. My body must have sustained the bruises and wounds that I got from inside my mother's consciousness.

I hear the door creak open and a shadow of a woman was seen coming inside. When she was just a few feet away, I was able to see her face.

”Your highness.” It came from Martha's voice. ”I am so glad you are already awake.”

Martha dashed towards my bedside instantly.

”How long was I asleep?” I asked her.

”You have been sleeping all day after you lost consciousness inside the greenhouse your highness.” Martha said and put her palm on my forehead. ”You are still burning. Excuse me your highness, I will call the doctor immediately.” She looked worried.

Martha bowed down and left as fast as she came inside.

I held my forehead with my palm and felt my temperature and I was really burning with a fever.

”No wonder I feel this way.” I lay down once again in bed.

My body really felt heavy and I wasn't feeling very well. This last trip to my mother's consciousness took a toll on me both physically and mentally.

Not long Martha came back with an old man. He must be the doctor she was talking about. Martha lit up the chandelier and my room was lighted up. The doctor came near me without delay and checked on me.

While the doctor was doing his check up, I noticed that both William and Jack was standing just outside my door and looked at me worriedly. They were not allowed to enter a princess' room in the middle of the night. They can only guard me outside my room.

After some time, the old doctor finished his check up on me.

”We need to lower her highness' temperature. I will give the princess a shot for now.” The old doctor said while writing a prescription on a piece of paper. ”I will prescribe some medicine after this. You can get it at the royal clinic.” He said to Martha and gave the paper to her.

”Yes doctor.” Martha replied while accepting the paper.

The old doctor took out a syringe and a vial from his bag. He slowly and carefully inserted the syringe inside the vial with clear liquid inside.

”What is that?” I asked.

My head was getting a little foggy with the fever and I was not sure what the doctor was actually doing with the syringe.

”Don't worry your highness. This medicine will help lower down your fever.” The doctor said while flicking the syringe with his fingers. ”This will only hurt a little. Please bear with it your highness.”

I felt the needle of the syringe prick thru my skin on my arm and I flinched in pain. But after just a few seconds the pain disappeared. The doctor pressed a cool thing where the prick was and I felt relief. My eye lids felt heavy after.

”The princess will get sleepy after the shot. Later she will sweat heavily. You will need to check her later and need to change her clothes so that her fever won't get any worse.” The doctor said to Martha.

”I understand doctor.” Martha replied.

”Well, I will take my leave. Call me if there is an emergency.” The doctor tidied up his bag and was prepared to leave. ”The princess needs to rest. Check on her after a few hours.”

Then I heard his foot steps going outside my room. I tried to open my heavy eyes and still saw William and Jack looking at me from outside the door.
