Wendell told the doctor what happened before they came to the palace. The doctor didn't say anything. He just nodded all the time and listened carefully. When Wendell was finished he said:
- All we need from you is to say that Wolf is sick. I don't know what kind of a syndrome will you call it, but make it something very serious.
- Your Majesty, I think that it would be the best thing to say that Mr. Wolf here has a problem concerning his nerves. That he can't control his brain and loses memory, gets mad, nervous. It would be better that we keep the signs as minimal as we can. So, you would be able to get out of this easyly.
- I believe you're right. Wolf, what do you think?- Asked Wendell.
- All I want now is my wife and son to be with me. Whatever we do, I just don't want to lose them.
- You won't lose them my friend.- Wendell replied and put his hand on Wolf's shoulder.
- Your Majesty,- Said the doctor.- Am I needed in anything else?
- No doctor. You may leave. just remember not to tell anyone about this. Only tell them that Wolf is seriously ill..
Before Wendell can complete, Wolf said:
- And tell them that I am not dangerous. I would get dangerous only if I'm hungry. Tell them that too. Please.
- Yes doctor. tell them that he isn't dangerous at this moment.
- As you wish your Majesty.- Said the doctor as he bowed.
The physician left the room. On his way out Virginia saw him and came.
- Excuse me, doctor?
- Yes Miss?
- I'm Virginia, Wolf's wife. I wanted to know how is he.
- He is fine at this moment.
- What's wrong with him?
- I'm sorry to tell you, but it's his nerves.- The doctor tried to look more serious than he usually looks like.
- What do you mean with "his nerves"?- Virginia asked.
- Well, he has been on the road for many days, he is tired. His brain is not functioning normal. He gets angry, nervous, and he loses memory sometimes. The amnesia might last for a long time or a short time.
- Is he going to be fine?
- I hope so. But I must warn you. he might get so dangerous if he gets hungry. So, be careful and feed him well. I don't want him to hurt himself or others.
- I'll do my best to make him fell better doctor. Thank you so much. Oh, and one more question.
- Yes?
- Can I take our son to him? Is it safe?
- As I told you Miss, he is dangerous only when he is hungry.
- Thank you doctor.
- You're welcome. Now, I must leave, I have so much work to do. Take care of your husband.
- I will doctor. Thank you. Goodbye.
Virginia rushed to her room. But when she reached there she stopped. Was it safe to enter? She asked herself. What would Wolf do when he sees her? What would she do? These questions concerned her at first. Then she decided to put them off her mind and she opened the door.
- So, you came in finally.- Said Wolf dryly.
- I..I'm sorry Wolf.
- Sorry? Leaving your husband to suffer alone, and you say you're sorry?- He tried his best to look disturbed.- Huff-puff! That's not how a loving wife would act when her husban needs her.
Wolf turned his back to her. He hardly could stop a smile on his face.
- Wolf, I was afraid to come in, or even open the door.- Virginia replied and came close to him.- I wanted to open the door for you, but I was afraid that you would attack me, like you did in the forest few hours ago.
- I didn't attack you!- He said without turning to her.
Virginia tried to put her hand on his shoulder but he didn't let her.
- Wolf, please forgive me.- Her eyes now were filled with tears.
Wolf felt that, but he didn't turn. He closed his eyes and thought "Oh Virginia, I don't want to see those tears. I really am sorry my love. I just hope that I can finish this stupid game. But I have to continue at this moment".
- I'm hungry.- He said.- I didn't eat for hours now.
- I'll ask the maides to bring you some food.
- Before they bring the food, I want to see Mike. Where is he?
- He's at dad's room. I'll bring him now.
- I'm waiting.
Virginia left the room. She ran to her father's room to bring Mike. Meanwhile, Wolf sat on his bed. He was feeling terrible about how he was talking to Virginia. He thought of ways to end this thing that he put himself in.
Virginia came back with Mike. She put him on the ground and he ran to his father:
- Papa!- Mike shouted when he saw his dad.
- Hey, little buddy. How are you son? Oh, I missed you alot!- He kissed Mike's cheek and put him on the ground again. Wolf got on his knees in front of Mike and said:
- How was it with grandpa? I bet you were bored with him, right?
- Dada.- Was all the reply that Wolf got.
- The dinner is on it's way.- Said Virginia.- They'll bring it here.
Wolf rose and held Mike's hand.
- I think that it's time for him to sleep. You put him in his bed, and I'll have dinner in the kitchen.
- But..
- I won't come back tonight, so don't wait for me.
- But, Wolf..
He left before Virginia could say anything.
- All we need from you is to say that Wolf is sick. I don't know what kind of a syndrome will you call it, but make it something very serious.
