Life Beyond the Doors

Chapter 18: Embarassed

"Mmm...." Marlin was put in the bed of the prince . After having a painkiller the pain subsided a little but-

The pain was still there . The royal doctor which is a female rushed hurriedly ;called by the prince . Upon seeing he called for a lady to be treated but its no time to be surprise. Seeing the injured she told everyone to get out because its an injury in a place where guys shouldn't see and she has to undress.

After an hour -

After she came out from the room , "Sigh..."

"What happened doctor ?", Prince Ethan asked.

Out of a rage of fit she grabbed the collar of the prince while swinging him like nothing , "Are you crazy? You're called the skilled fighter of the kingdom yet you have to be saved by a fragile girl???"

"Hey, stop it", Prince got irritated. "Tell me what happened first.."

"She is well now but the place on the right shoulder where she got stabbed ...its gonna leave a scar."

"......what?", he asked while being surprised.

"Yes.... You do know noble girls has to keep their body precious or it might be a prob to get married later . Even so without this , you should have protected her ! It could have been more dangerous; what if she was stabbed somewhere else .....", the doctor pinched her forehead.

In fact no one wants to be reminded of the possibility that this could have happened.

After the treatment, the doctor went away -

Lanier came alone to talk with the prince . He explained the situation and told him he was able to catch lady Everi and shes in the interrogation room right now . He also asked what would he do with her . After he asked ; prince answered to obviously execute her ; since shes a hindrance after all.

After quite a while , Marlin started moving . After she slowly opened her eyes , a blurred vision of the prince was shown after he came closer to her to notice if shes okay or not . She slowly raised her hand to feel if its real or not .

".....Prince Ethan?", she asked.

Unconsciously the prince holds the hand steadfast without realising. He shouldn't touch her hand but that subconscious mind already went long ago . Because he didnt want to trouble the person anyway who just saved his life.

"Yes....tell me . Do you need anything?"

.
.
.

After hearing that , Marlin finally realised its not a dream . She hurriedly rose from her bed which startled the prince and Lanier behind of course but she didn't care . She didn't realise she was in her undergarments. She was covered in blanket before so it wasn't so revealing. Due to her sudden actions , Ethan and Lanier flipped backwards so they wont be able to see whats she doing .

Marlin not thinking the embarrassment she made rather she rushed upto the prince and held his hands .

"My Prince... i need to tell you something."

Ethan again reverted his eyes. The look on his face was quite something to see . Marlin saw his face becoming red then she noticed her dress then when reality hit her hard. She screamed at the top of her lungs which was enough to burst Ethan's and Lanier's eardrums for the day.
