Third Person POV

Dusk was very near. No one could expect such guests at this hour.
Villagers looked at each other confused as they started whispering between themselves. " It's the tsar..."
Only one young man had enough courage to came up to them.
" God bless, what do you need, Your Majesty?" He asked simply.
" Please ,help... My goddaughter...! Nicholas begged.  Only now, the young man saw what actually was that bundle in Emperor's arms. The girl was weak and pale, and she wouldn't stop bleeding. They bundled her up in blanket to keep her warm. She was conscious... And suffered horribly...

" Sweet Jesus..." He whispered in horror" What happened...? Nevermind. Come in... Everyone, don't be in the way!" He called to other villagers, as the royal family followed him to the small wooden hut.

As they got inside, they saw a tall muscular man, who had messy dark hair and dark beard. " Antoni is our village's doctor. He can work miracles.... I'm sure he can help. He healed me, even though all the doctors said its impossible...."

" Lay her down here." Antoni said in deep voice. Nicholas did as he was told...
" You're lucky it's not artery. She'd be dead..." He said after checking the wound. It looked terrible, but he saw worse.
" But now, you can help her...?!"
" I'll do my best."
The man came up to the drawer and took of something that was wrapped into cloth. He wrapped it out. It were surgical tools...
Nicholas looked at it surprised and slightly terrified...
Antoni also took out the small bottle of vodka." You have to drink a bit of this, young one..."
" No way!"  She jerked.
" [Y/N], don't move...!" The tsar warned.
" I won't drink it.... I'm not like my father..."  She uttered through pain.
The doctor looked at her with gentle eyes." [Y/N], was it? Listen, it's not to get you drunk. We'll use it as anesthesia... Drink just a little bit, OK? Could you compromise?"
" Yes..."
She wrinkled her nose as she swallowed the liquid. " Yuck..."

Next, [Y/N] has been tied up to were she was laying, and the gag was stuffed into her mouth.
" I know you'll be brave, but sometimes we can't fully control our movements. And I don't want you to bite your lips. You understand?
She nodded.

Nicholas was asked to go out. He refused, but the doctor insisted. Eventually ,Vasil, the one who showed the way, convinced him that it's for the best. " Antoni knows what he's doing, Your Majesty. Miss [Y/N] will be all right..."

Nicholas 'POV

What is wrong with me?! Every single time, I think my life will finally be peaceful, something horrible happens! If it only include me, but it includes sorrow of my loved ones...!

And hasn't [Y/N] suffered enough already? Why does she have to go through with all this...?  She'd never hurt a soul... So why...?

Flashback

That village seemed to be so far away...!

" It hurts...! AGH..." [ Y/N] cried, as the carriage jumped, because of some rocks on the road. Even the smallest movement coused unimaginable pain to her.
"  Be brave, darling...Everything is going to be all right..." Alix whispered in trembling voice.
My daughters were all in despair... They cried hugging each other tightly.

I glanced at Alexei. He was looking through the window, without a word. From behind, I saw a small teardrop rolling down his cheek. He quickly wiped it away. I was also stoping myself from crying. If anyone thinks it's easier when, you're an adult, they're wrong!
I had a feeling that I would act the same, if  Olenka, Taniushka, Mashka, Nastya or Alyosha would get hurt.
