Chapter 34: Her Unconscious State
His neatly combed and tied hair was looking silky black in the bright light, his fighter robs were of finest cloth which was evidence of his high status, never-ending smile was there on his lips, eighteen's years old young heir of crown, his well-built body, and broad shoulders were evidence of his hard training, long neck, face bones were not much filled and not empty sharp but appealing features with fair skin.
One would be lost if one happened to caught eyes especially if one who directly contact without self-guard, lively eyes.
Sword was emitting light which kept the interior of the camp warm and it was helpful for Jen.
He started his contemplation thinking that there was always space for improvement.
Night slipped gradually and finally outside was a little bright now.
He prepared leather flask, shut the tent cloth and went toward the freshwater stream, came back and prepared to clean her.
It took him much time because he was afraid about her wound though she was unconscious still he was much careful.
He cleaned her arms and legs and left rest of body untouched and covered with her cloth, dusted a little and came out from camp.
His hands were slightly quivering though he did not notice.
This was the first time that he encountered a girl closely.
He was up brought in a fully clad atmosphere because Emperor would not allow his only son to be evil in any way.
It would reduce the chances of being the next Emperor because of two reasons.
First it would affect the grandeur of Empire in the future and second, he himself was a man of principles, why would he allow his only son to be a wicked and contaminated son of Emperor.
His principles were known to other Empires too, and his upright personality was why others were afraid of.
His son should of supreme existence without any backer and his father's hand to help him stand every time he falls, no prince himself should stand whenever he falls.
Prince himself was very devoted to his learning and his interests were secured through his own principles and rules.
He was clear what was wrong and what was right so he set up his own barriers to protect right and go against wrong.
Every day he would clean up her and would apply fresh paste over her wound though he was not a herbal doctor or practitioner he could tell her energy level was on its lowest level.
If this was the case and her energy level was collapsed to its minimal level, she might not be able to regain her consciousness until she used oral means to gain strength.
He was worried for her unconscious condition, to bring her conscious he was thinking ways too.
The first step was to bring her consciousness and then she herself would be able to consume energy producing herbs and herbal fruits.
Though he gathered few leaves around stream the problem was how to downpour in her mouth, in her unconscious state.
He prepared liquid herbs to extract, lifted her up and supported with the left arm, it was difficult to open her mouth and pour medicine with a single hand.
He supported her head on his thigh opened her mouth with left and then poured herbal extract into her mouth, lifted her head little high and checked whether it went down he moved her jaw with hand.
It took time but finally, a short amount of liquid went down.
He quit for the day and next day did same to pour down a short amount of herbal extract, and on the third day when poured little amount of herbal liquid and was about to check close to her mouth.
Her eyelid despite low energy trembled and her pink lips quivered.
His first reaction was an astonishment, how pure were her looks and the second reaction indeed he forgot to react her movement and signs of consciousness.
She felt immense gratitude and with this from the corner of her eye seeped tears out wetting her side corners.
He immediately removed the tear and felt embarrassed to himself.
She was definitely some noble girl or her background must be extraordinary.
If he knew that she was labeled rebel when she was just two months old and her father was chased away from his own land, his opinion would change drastically.
One observation was quite right she was definitely a noble girl.
