"Alicia!" Leon yelled. When I open my eyes I saw Leon hugging protectively in his arms.
"Leon." I looked at him on a daze.
I can feel him so close to . The heat of his body was warming mine. His face was just inches from mine and his eyes held my gaze. My heart was thumping loudly. His face was inching slowly to mine and I can feel his warm breath on my face.
Then I felt a flick in my forehead.
"Aww." I held my throbbing forehead.
"What were you thinking being absent minded in a situation like that?" Leon was the one that flicked my forehead. "If I weren’t here to save you, you would have been flattened by the horses by now." He scolded .
I bowed my head feeling guilty.
"I’m sorry. When I regained my balance I just realized I was already in front of the running carriage. I didn’t an to be absent minded." I said.
Leon sighed. "I understand. I just don’t know what to do if I wasn’t able to save you on ti."
Leon hugged close to him. I can hear his heart beat raising. He was worried for . I felt happy knowing that.
The carriage that almost ran over stopped a few feet away. A young man with light brown hair wearing spectacles ca down from the carriage.
"Are you all right? I am so sorry that my coachman was in a hurry. There is an ergency call in the palace that I need to attend to, so we were going fast." The man said apologetically.
"Dr. Andrew?" I said. Dr. Andrew was a young but genius physician. He passed the physician’s exam when he was just fourteen years old and beca a royal physician when he was eighteen. Now, as I know he was twenty one years old.
"Princess Alicia?" Dr. Andrew recognized right away. I didn’t realize that my ponytail was undone when I had an accident earlier.
Leon saw this and took off his jacket to cover my head.
"Dr. Andrew." Leon greeted. "We are here incognito so can you please lower your voice."
"Oh I am sorry." Dr. Andrew said. "Please co inside my carriage. Let treat the princess’ wound."
"Wound?" I asked curiously. That was when I realized that there was pain in my left leg. When I looked at it there was so blood.
"A flying debris must have hit your leg earlier." Dr. Andrew said. "Co, I have so dicine inside the carriage."
Leon nodded and helped walked.
Once inside, Dr. Andrews opened his black dical bag and got so bottles inside.
"Put you leg up." Dr. Andrew ordered and I do what he said.
Once my wound was exposed, he put so antiseptic to clean it. I flinched in pain.
"Don’t worry, it will only be painful at first. This ointnt can relieve the pain." Dr. Andrew said.
After he placed the said ointnt, the pain really went away.
"Wow, it really went away." I said amazed.
"I make my dicines from the herbs that I grow in my estate." Dr. Andrew smiled.
"I have heard that the herbs you grow in your estate are really rare." Leon slowly pulled my feet away from the doctor’s hand.
"I have traveled a lot all over the continent for the past few years and was able to obtain such rare herbs. And I have growing them ever since." Dr. Andrew replied.
"Why are you in a hurry to go to the palace? Is there an ergency?" I asked.
"It is about princess Elizabeth’s wounds." Dr. Andrew said. "They have said that the wounds are not healing properly and is started to fester." Dr. Andrew said.
"Oh my. Then I will not take much of your ti doctor." I said.
"Will you not go ho? It is starting to get dark outside. I can offer you a ride." Dr. Andrew asked.
"Don’t worry doctor, we can manage." Leon said.
"And sir Leon and I will see the fireworks later in the evening." I said excitedly.
"Then I won’t get in the way of your enjoynt." Dr. Andrews smiled at .
"Thank you for treating my wound" I said before going out of the carriage.
"It’s my pleasure princess Alicia." Dr. Andrew helped out of the carriage and was about to kiss my hand when Leon grabbed it away.
"We are happy for your help Dr. Andrew. The king must be waiting for you. So you should be on the way." Leon said with a sharp voice.
"I understand." Dr. Andrew looked at Leon. "Goodnight princess Alicia."
"Good night doctor." I smiled.
The carriage moved and after a while was out of our sights.
"What could have happened to Elizabeth’s wound?" I asked curiously.
"It must be karma." Leon smiled at .
