The short trip to the physician brought curious onlookers. The young monarch no longer had to hide her face.
Having Prince Hinrik in her company and riding an elegant carriage was already enough to reveal her identity.
Furthermore, there was only one certain physician whom Ysabel knew would be able to help the older woman who lived in the forest.
Visiting him in his clinic in broad daylight and unannounced caused quite a stir. There were murmurs from the gathered people.
Everyone was curious about what the princess was doing with a monarch from another kingdom and an old lady with her grandson.
But as she had been accustomed to staying polite and ignoring the buzzing whispered conversations around, Ysabel maintained a stoic expression.
