Wendell carried her to the office. That was the only place that he knew there. He opened the door with his foot. He entered, and asked Virginia to show him Lucy's room.
- Virginia, please show me her room.
- Yeah sure, what happened?
- I'll tell you later. We must take her to her room now.
- Wendell! You did it again! didn't you?
- Wolf! Shut up!
Wolf stood there, mouth opened. he didn't expect that kind of a reply from Wendell.
Virginia showed him the room. He put Lucy in her bed and covered her with her blanket.
- Wendell what happened?- Asked Virginia.
- I saw her in the corridor, and she ran away. I followed her. I tried to talk to her, but she fainted.
- We must bring a doctor.
At that moment Wolf entered the room with the Dwarf King and the doctor.
- Wendell, what happened?- The king asked.
- I'm not sure, I don't know. We tried to talk and she lost her consciousness.
The king turned to the doctor, who was already examening Lucy:
- Doctor, will she be all right?
- I believe so. Her wound is in a bad shape. That caused her to faint. But She'll all right. Just don't let her get into sharp emotions. No anger, no bad memories, nothing that would disturb her. She must have complete comfort. Now please leave the room. She must rest.
- I will stay with her.- Said Wendell.
- Your Majesty..
- I am staying doctor!
- As you wish Your Majesty. Everyone else out please.- Said the doctor.
They left. Wendell sat on Lucy's bed, next to her, holding her hand.
- Lucy, I'm sorry that it had to go like this. I really am sorry.
He kissed her hand and kept holding it.
Virginia and Wolf entered the office again, Wolf threw himself on the couch.
- Wolf, what is it?- Asked Virginia.- You look so upset.
- I didn't expect him to tell me to shut up.- He he looked to the ground.
Virginia sat beside him and put her hand around his shoulder.
- I'm sure that he didn't mean it. You saw how he was. He wasn't thinking at that time.
- Maybe.
At that moment, the Dwarf King entered the room.
- Do you need to rest? I'll tell the servants to show you your room.
- Thank you.- Said Virginia.
They went to the room. The entered, Wolf jumped on the bed at once.
- Huff-puff, I'm tired!
- Me too.
- Virginia.
- Yes honey?
- What do you think Mike's doing now?
- I think that he's playing with dad, or annoying him with screaming around.
- I bet he would.- Wolf had a big smile on his face.- But I miss him. I mean Mike.
- I miss him too. I just hope that they're O.K.
- Oh, they're all right. You know, when I entered Lucy's room, that familliar smell was stronger.
- Really?
- Yes. It reminds me of someone, but I'm not sure who.
- Interesting. But I want to sleep now, I'm so tired.
- Me too.
When Wolf turned to Virginia's side he saw her sleepnig already. He smiled, kissed the top of her head, covered her with a blanket and he slept too.
Meanwhile, Wendell was still at Lucy's room. One of the maides came in and asked if he wanted to rest in his room.
- No, thanks. I'll stay here.
The maide left. Wendell was still holding Lucy's hand. She moved a little. Growled, and opened her eyes.
- Lucy? Can you hear me?
- Yes. what are you doing here? Why am I in my bed? What happened?
- While we were talking you lost consciousness.
- Oh, now I remember. My head is hurting me.
- Do you want me to call the doctor?
- No, I'll be fine. You know how I feel about doctors.
- Yes. I remember.- He smiled.
She smiled to him and said:
- Your Ma..
- Wendell. Call me Wendell please.
- All right. Wendell, I'm sorry to behave like that. I don't want you or anyone to get hurt because of me.
- I won't get hurt because of you. Don't think like that.- He kissed her hand.- Now, do you feel like we can continue our conversation? Or should we leave it for tomorrow?
- No, I'm all right.
- But the doctor said no strong emotions.
- He was here, wasn't he?
- I knew that I shouldn't say this. Yes, he was here.- Wendell said nodding his head.
- You know, when I came here I didn't let him check my wound.
- You should've let him. I don't want to lose you.
- I'll be fine.- She held his hand with both of hers, then she tried to sit.
- Don't get up. You must rest.
- I want to sit. My head hurts more when it touches the pillow.
- All right then, let me help you.
He helped her to sit in the bed. Wendell was trying to find a way to start the converstion, but didn't know how.
- What is it Wendell? What do you want to tell me?
- Well, I.., it's about what I was trying to tell you back in the palace.
- And?
- Umm, I don't know how to start.
- Start from the beginning.
- I guess you're right.- He smiled, and continued.- Lucy, I want to tell you that I care about you. I mean, it's more than caring about you. I.. I love you. And I want you to.. spend the rest of your life with me, as my wife.
- Do you really mean it?
- Yes. I knew that since the first time that I saw you near the lake.
- But do you realise that your wife would be a half-wolf? What would the people say?
- I don't care about what others would think or say. I care only about what my heart says. And it says that I love you.
Lucy's eyes were filled with tears again. This time they were happy tears.
- Oh, Wendell. I love you too! I didn't want to say it, that's why I ran from the palace.
Wendell smiled, and they kissed each other softly.
- You won't run again, won't you?
- I don't think so.
He hugged her and said:
- Oh, my love, I have dreamed for this moment all of my life. But you didn't answer me. Will you become my beloved wife? Will you let me share my life with you?
- Yes.- She whispered, with a smile on her face, tears on her cheeks.
- Lucy.. I promise that you'll be the happiest woman in the nine kingdoms. No, in the whole world!
They kissed again, then Wendell asked her to have a rest untill he goes and sees what Wolf and Virginia were doing.
He entered the office, but only the Dwarf King was there.
- Wendell! How's Lucy doing?- He asked, and noticed the happiness in Wendells face.
- She's fine. I have something to tell you.
- What is it? We're getting married!
- Wendell! That's the greatest news that I've heard since your coronation! Congratulations!
- Thank you. Now, would you please tell me where I can find Wolf and Virginia? i want to tell the the news too.
- They're in their room. The maide will show you the way.
- Virginia, please show me her room.
- Yeah sure, what happened?
- I'll tell you later. We must take her to her room now.
- Wendell! You did it again! didn't you?
- Wolf! Shut up!
Wolf stood there, mouth opened. he didn't expect that kind of a reply from Wendell.
