With a hissing moan, I lowered myself into the hot water of my bath. As much as I wanted to, I did not even try leaning back against side, I knew the pain it caused would be unbearable.
I had been very grateful the ride from Mandrake to my home had not been too long, for each bump in the street had caused the pain to become less pleasurable and more intense. By the time I had climbed the stairs and made it to my room, I could not even undress myself.
After soaking until the water had begun to cool, I left the bath and went to my bed, laying down so my maid could apply the salve to my wounds. The pain had dulled again, and I let my thoughts wander to Mordred. A smile curved my lips and I was so lost in memory that it took my maid several tries to get my attention so that she could bandage me.
When she was done, she handed me a drought of poppies to help me sleep. Sighing contentedly, I laid on my stomach, feeling sleep settling around me even as my head hit the pillow.
