After the wound was cleaned, and healing medicine was reapplied, the healer left the room to attend other mishaps. ALexander's brothers lifted him in their arms, and carried him up the stairs to the new chamber I was given before I had left for Arizona. I pulled back the comforter and his brother's placed ALexander on the bed, and quickly exited the room.
My husband kept his eyes closed, but I could tell he was not sleeping by the way he was breathing. Looking at his handsome chiseled face, I noticed tiny fine lines etched on his forehead that were not visible before today. His tear stained face was proof of some kind of emotional distress. What could have happened that would make this mighty warrior weak and defenseless? Why was there a stab wound on his leg? who would dare inflict such a wound on him?
I had a million questions to ask, but had to wait until he was willing to talk to me. I think he needs to rest now. I reluctantly rose from the bed and left the room closing the door behind me. I needed to find Mary and retreive my son, it was feeding time, my swollen breasts were in need of releif.
I followed the lit torches to the gardens, and found Mary sitting on a stone bench, singing a lullaby to my sleeping son. Mary stood slowly when she saw me and followed me into the castle and up the stairs, but instead of taking my baby to my chambers, she took him to hers.
"Elizabeth, let me have him for the night. ALexander needs you more than Christopher does. I will bring him to you in the morning." she whispered.
I will miss my baby, but I think she is right, ALexander does need me more. I sighed and walked back to my chambers and locked the door. I undressed, and climbed into my bed and cuddled next to my husband. I felt his body stiffen.
I will let him sleep off whatever it is that is bothering him, and first thing tomorrow morning I will demand he tell me what the problem is, and how he got the wound on his leg.
