Chapter 15

Ethan looked at lilo and saw the bruises in her skin and the head injury and the red mark on her hand.

He carried her out and took her to his room and placed her on the bed carefully before going to instruct the cleaners to arrange the messed up room near the hall.

Luckily the king and queen were not around and didn't see what happened and also the guests had all left,so they left and cleaned the room and left before the king or queen returned back to the hall.

***In Ethan's room

Lilo was lying unconsciously in the bed as her body covered with bruises .

After giving instructions to the maid to clean the room,he went into his bathroom and brought a first aid box,it was available in all rooms in case of situations.

He brought out a methylated spirit and a cotton wool and started to dab on her wounds,luckily she was asleep so it wouldn't hurt that much when he was done dabbing her wounds.

he brought a small towel and dipped it into a bowl of water and cleaned the dried blood on her side of her head.

After that he cleaned her hands and when he was done ,he covered her with a quilt so that she was able to sleep and regain her conciousness,he went and sat down on the chair nearby watching after her to see if she was uncomfortable in any way.

****

After some hours of sleeping,she woke up with a slight headache and ethan rushed to give her the painkillers he brought for her with a glass of water,she collected the water and drank it with the drugs.

How are you doing?,he asked and she started to tear up.

Whats wrong?,he asked as he sat down at the edge of the bed closer to her.

He..he didn't do anything right?,she asked stammering as she was crying.

No,i got there in time,it's okay just forget it and get better okay?,he said and she didn't reply.

What if you weren't there?,she asked out of the blues.

Don't say such,it's in the past now let it go,he said and she closed her eyes,he realized she wanted space so he left her and went to get something for her to eat.

As Ethan was on his way to the royal kitchen,he heard a voice.

Where is the princess?,Alaya asked.

My queen,she should be resting in her room,he lied.

Well,I'll go see her,she said and was about to go when ethan yelled "Don't go".

Why?,she asked.

My apologies my queen but she is sleeping and she doesn't like anyone disturbing her sleep,he said.

Well you are right,I'll see her later,she said and left for her quarters making ethan give a sigh of relief.

He went to the kitchen and gave instructions to the chef to cook the princess favorite dish and bring it to his room.

He left the kitchen and went to his room,but as he entered he saw lilo looking at herself in the mirror,she looked like she had a change of clothes as she was not wearing the torn ball gown ,instead she was on her pyjamas.

Why did you get up?,he asked and she was startled as she didn't see him there before.

I had to take a bath,she said not looking at him.

As he entered the room and closed the door he was surprised not to see Lilo on the bed but standing at staring at herself in the mirror,she seemed deep in thought as she didn't even hear the door close,he removed the mask from his face and dropped it on the table nearby before asking her why she got up from the bed.

Each time i think of the incident,i get irritated so i went to take a bath,she said and finally looked at him as he was sitting on the bed without his mask.

Is there anything you want me to do concerning the incident,Ethan asked as she was just looking at him now and not speaking again.

Just don't tell my parents,I'll find another was to handle mark,she said finally and averted her eyes from his face.
