The Lonely Aristocrat

Chapter 10

I was overwhelmed by guilt to what was revealed on to my eyes. Her back was cover with blood and wounds. The torment my body instantly went into made me feel those wounds as if I was the one beaten.

This was all because of me. If I hadn't given her the permission or had I sent her with a driver this wouldn't have happened. I was so reckless and blind and till now I can't remember the reason why I gave her the permission.

She was laying on the bed with her tore clothes, back exposed showing almost all her beautiful carves. Even this state she still look gorgeous. I couldn't permit myself to take the decision of cleaning her whole body and there was no way I let Alphonse do it either. She is a woman and I value that.

" Alphonse, go and get a maid to clean up her wounds" I said, he nodded and left immediately. I took out my phone and dialed Alex's number. After few rings he finally picked up.

" Alex, I need you to send a doctor to my place right now" I commanded. She was in an unstable state, she had already risk her life and I didn't want that to get worse.

" What's up?' he asked.

" Just do it" and hanged up. I had never had the need to see a doctor since the age of twenty so, had no specific and trusted doctor I could call in this state but I knew Alex did. Even if he didn't needed one he will find one just for fancy.

The door opened revealing Alphonse followed by a young lady and I immediately left taking Alphonse with me to let the maid clean Elizabeth. If I couldn't see her body he too couldn't even if she was dying or death already.

Alex had arrived after half an hour with the doctor next to him. The lather was shaking uncontrollably when I went down in the living room to meet them but Alex spoke first.

" What's the problem?" Alex asked

" She's upstairs" I said as I turned to start taking the stairs but was stopped by Alex's question.

" She? She who?" He asked in denial as realisation struck him. I just looked at him without saying anything for him settle the information.

" What did you do to her, Klaus?" He ask his tone slightly angry. I said nothing just started moving upstairs to her room. He thought I was the inducer of that torture? Is he crazy or something? I mean even if I get out of my mind I can't do such a thing to her if not neither I nor my beast would stand it.

We finally reached her room as the maid left with her working equipment. I moved closer to her seeing the wounds distinctively. The doctor went closer to her body to examine them.

" They are extremely deep wounds how did she obtained them?" He asked lingering his hand over her back in wander then looked up at me as I did not respond for a while. I sighed then answered

" She was attacked" I paused as his brow raised in comprehension " by Empty souls" I concluded and his eyes open in horror. The now standing Alex in the other corner of the room frowned

" What? How did that happen" he asked but I choosed to ignore his question.

" How is she ?" I asked looking at the doctor.

" If she gets up now she will be in great pain. She has two fractured ribs, they will heal on their own as they are not severe and I'll have to stitch her back and give her pain killers and she we'll be left to heal but will have to undergo check ups within that period" he said and concluded.

" Then what are you waiting for?" I said turning to take the door, I turned to give her unconscious body a last glance before heading to my office. The doctor said she we'll be fine but I can't help to feel guilt and remorse over her state. I've never been this reckless with a task. She wasn't just a task but a human being.
