I felt that his gaze had driven away all the pain in my body without my consent.

But I realized that I was caught by him and now I have no other option than facing his enquiry and I'm going to face his reaction for entering the battle field without his permission.

More than that, I don't know anything about my arrival here. I can't remember anything about when and who brought me here.

My eyes roamed around the room and I realized that it was a huge room with mesmerizing oil lamps arrangements. It seemed like the room of a king.

And my guess was it must be the room of Cyrus. When I saw the place where I was lying before, I realized that it was the royal bed and it should be the bed of Cyrus. 

But who made me to rest there, on the bed of Cyrus till now?

I guess Arses haven't seen me yet, if so he would be have made me to rest with the horses in the stable as a punishment for entering the battle field without permission.

As the battle had ended successfully, I hope that the enquiry and punishments would be gentle.

Cyrus who had been shocked on seeing the wounded Amitis, suddenly running towards the balcony started to speak softly, "Amitis I asked you where you were going? Answer me"

Amitis knelt down at that instant and bowed her head, "Your highness, I'm going to Pairidaeza."

Cyrus was distressed by her reply, and he said, "How can you go to your home now? The forests were flaming, at the border."

He was talking as if he was having a conversation with a child.

Amitis replied," No problem your majesty, I'll manage. Please allow me to go."

Cyrus replied, "Listen, how can I allow you go home with this wounded shoulders? How can you ride your horse? What if you faint on your way to your home as before? ".

His words reflected his care, love and responsibility on her.

Moreover in a third person's POV it seemed like a Royal prince of a great Empire was begging a girl to accept his request.

Amitis replied "Pardon me your majesty. But please allow me to leave now."

He tried to convince her, but she kept on repeating the same words and it seemed she was stubborn in her decision. He realized that his words were failing to convince her to stay back.

It was the very first time in the life of Cyrus to plead someone for such a long time,to accept his request.

As usual, his eyes begged her more to stay back than his words.

As Amitis was looking at the floor because of her lowered gaze she didn't noticed his expression.

The pain on her weak body because of her wounds, her determination in her heart to leave the palace then and the inability which she felt inside her to stand before Cyrus had blocked her mind to realize that his words were blended with love and care.

He kept on convincing her and at an extent he noticed that her knees and voice had started to tremble because of the pain and fatigue which she has been bearing.

At that instant, he concluded that his kind words were not going to work out and he decided to show his Royal Authority, since he knew that she would be definitely obeying his command than accepting it as a request.

All of a sudden, Cyrus raised his voice, "I Cyrus, the Royal prince of Menidia order you to stay here until I allow you to go to your home. I order you to obey me."
