'Is he still thinking about the matter we discussed last night? How could he not realize that his hands were bleeding?' I stood at the side as I looked at the physician bandaging him. He was still looking lost.

"If you are still not feeling well, you should rest more" I said as I looked at his pale face that was darkening too. 

"I am fine" he announced and i did not know why he was so adamant in joining us, it was not like he liked any of us.

"I still think you should take a rest, your highness" I added and he looked at me with a hardened face.

"I said i will JOIN YOU" his voice came through gritted teeth and i could only nod.

After his dressing we walked towards the hall where everyone else was sitting.

"Are you okay, son?" asked mother and he nodded.
