The Leper King's Healer

After a tragic accident that sent her back 845 years in time to the year 1177, in the Middle Ages, during the reign of Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, Kate Mitchell, a wealthy business tycoon in the pharmaceutical industry, a gifted ex-military, a pharmacologist and botanist, and a brilliant archer from 2022, wakes up as Lady Philippa, a pretty, innocent, frail, and proper young lady of House Antioch, with whom she shares nothing in common. She realised she had died on that day, and her soul travels back in time and takes over the body of Philippa, a helpless lady who would face tragedy, betrayal, and scandal before dying young and heartbroken. She chose to live as Philippa because she had a second chance at life and only one goal in mind: to live and survive at any cost. To succeed, she must thrive and learn to live in the Medieval era, where nothing is common for her, and, above all, she must avoid an arranged marriage, which will doom Phillipa to death after a terrible heartbreak. Lady Philippa, unfortunately, is about to be engaged to an unknown man, and she must devise a plan to prevent this from happening. Kate's background as an ex-military officer, pharmacologist, and botanist, as well as her limited knowledge of history, will be invaluable in surviving the historical mediaeval times when modern technology was out of reach. However, she requires the assistance of the reigning king, Baldwin IV, who is suffering from leprosy at the time. She'll have to take control of the situation. It is up to Kate's bravery and intelligence to find a way to persuade Baldwin IV to help her, and she has few options other than joining his royal court. Will the king accept her, or will she perish as the body's original owner? Will she be able to change her destiny? Alternatively, will she be able to find the love and family she seeks?

In the meantime, in the King's courtroom

Baldwin POV:

"Aren't you going to say anything? you're awfully quiet," I questioned William.

"nothing at all," the old man continued to work, but then groaned. "alright... your majesty, I am not in the position to pry into your private matters, but you need to be more discreet... I can't believe you two would do it in broad daylight... what are you even thinking?" William exclaimed.

"You are a King, and people will expect you to act like it..." he added.

I try not to laugh as I say, "I am sorry... I was..."

William prickled his forehead and replied, "Don't explain anything. I was just surprised, that's all.

"Yet... I wanted to apologize that you saw us that way...and If I was unable to contain myself..." I said.

"Oh, it doesn't matter," William added, "but I'm glad you're not denying yourself happiness."
