43 Chapter

She slept through the whole flight. I woke her up gently when we landed, she woke up and stretched out a bit. I helped her up and we got into a waiting carriage. The guards had already placed all of our bags into the carriage. When we sat down and got comfortable the carriage got pulled and we drove back to the castle. After some time the carriage stopped and the guards opened the door and we got a warm welcome from the whole castle staff. They all were happy to see us, but they quieted down when they saw Elliana. One of the maids ran inside and came back with the doctor without me asking for one. The doctor greeted her politely and examined her. They talked for a bit and then i noticed how tired Elliana seemed to be getting. The doctor told me to go and wait for them inside the castle. 'I can't just leave her.' I said. 'My lord...please i need space and not my lord to breathe in my neck.' He said with a soft but serious tone. I nodded and went inside. The rest followed me, few stayed behind to guard the carriage. After some time a guard walked in holding Elliana in his arms. I went fast to him and took her over gently. 'Let's go to your room, your majesty.' The doctor said. I carried Elliana to our bedroom and the doctor followed us. When we went in i placed her gently on the bed and turned to the doctor, who was closing the door. 'What is wrong with my wife doc?' I asked him. 'She is sick your majesty. I believe she has caught the cold.' He said. 'She will be alright in a few days right?' I asked him. He chuckled and nodded. 'If she isn't better in the next few days please call me Your Majesty.' He added with a soft bow. 'Of course, i will let you know...thank you.' I said to him. He smiled and gave me some medicine for Elliana and he went out. I sat down next to her and kissed her head softly. I laid down next to her and wrapped my arms around her, pulling her gently in my arms. 

We stayed the whole day in the bed. Our maids brought us some food and drinks. I thanked them every time with a soft smile. The next morning I got up without waking her up, I showered and got ready before walking down to the dining room. I sat down and the breakfast was served. It was empty without her... When I was done I picked up some food for her and went to our room with the food. When I entered the room I didn't see her in bed. I started to freak out a bit but I heard the shower water running. I sighed and placed the food next to the bed, I sat down on the bed and waited for her to return. After a few minutes, she turned off the shower. I heard her drying and putting some clothes on. She got out and jumped up a bit after seeing me. I chuckled a bit and went to her. 'Sorry, my love. I didn't mean to scare you.' I said wrapping my arms around her softly. She snuggled to me and i kissed her head softly. I let her go after a minute or two and we went to bed. She sat up and i gave her the breakfast. She thanked me before eating the food. 

'Are you feeling any better my love?' I asked her as I stroked her face carefully. She nodded slightly looking away biting her lip softly. 'The doctor thinks you might have caught the cold.' I told her and kissed her forehead sweetly. 'It's okay my love, don't worry we will fix it.' I told her gently. She smiled at me and leaned in for a hug. 'Thank you.' She whispered softly. 'Come on you should try and go back to sleep.' I told her and helped her to lay down. She snuggled closer to me and I kissed her temple softly. I stayed with her till I knew she is asleep. I went our of our bedroom into the throne room. I called the whole castle to the room and told them the news about Elliana. They all looked worried at me when they hear what happened. I dismissed them all and they all went away. I got some gatherings to attend. When i was done with the gatherings and the paper work it was already evening. I had dinner in my office, after finishing everything i went to our bedroom and i saw all kind of gifts for Elliana from everyone. That made me smile.
