A Forgotten Destiny (Merlin)

Chapter Twenty-Four: I Know

"Where is she?!" James jumped off his horse and ran to Caden who awaited him at the entrance to the palace.

"She's in your room." Was all the Raven could return before the King of Malkos pushed past him into the palace.

"Rani? Rani?!" James burst in his chambers and made his way over to the bed, there his wife sat, still a little pale but awake and talking to Isobel with a small smile on her face.

At her husband's shouts she turned to look at the worried man who approached her. The Queen's smile doubled as James sat on the bed and embraced her in the biggest hug he could do without fear of hurting her.
"I've been so worried about you." He whispered into her hair.

"It's okay, I'm fine now. Caden healed me." Rani soothed.

"Caden?" James sat up straight pulling back from the hug slightly, what would Caden know about medicine?

Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

Caden entered the room, Alaunus, Alec and Max by his sides.

Alaunus was quick to rush to the Queen's side to check her over, he was the court physician after all.

"He was amazing. I think he would give you a run for your money Alaunus." Rani Joked as she looked from her husband to the physician.

Alaunus gave a small smile before looking to Caden,
"What did you treat her with?"

"Gingko extract, ground Tumeric, Flax Seed and three drops of grapeseed extract" Caden informed.

Max and Alec looked surprised at the words that came out of the Knight's mouth, they didn't know half the words he just said.

Alaunus nodded, "I see..."

"What is it? Did he give her the wrong medicine?" It was the King who spoke worriedly, it's not that he didn't trust Caden, it's just that this was about the health of his wife and Caden was no physician.

"On the contrary milord, I don't think I could have healed her majesty better myself. Whatever illness befell the Queen it appears Caden here has cured her." The Physician complimented with a smile.

Isobel looked to her knight with a loving smile of adoration which Caden quickly returned as their eyes locked.

"I do wonder though, how is it you knew what to do? This is a very complicated remedy and not one many would have thought to use." Alaunus questioned, looking to the Raven.

Caden quickly withdrew his eyes from the Princess to the physician,
"Oh erm, I'm not sure, it just came to me."

Alaunus raised a questioning eyebrow.

"Maybe I used to know about medicine before my accident?" Caden offered, after all he too had no idea how he knew what to do.

The entire room seemed to tense at the word 'accident' all but Caden and Isobel that is. The small silence was broken when James stood from the Queen's bed and went over to Caden.
"Thank you."

"It was nothing." The Raven smiled.

"No, you saved my wife, thank you." James held out his arm for Caden to clasp, which he did with a nod of understanding.
