What did you study? Accounting, Your Majesty. How have you been paying for her treatment? Amaka. We haven’t been paying properly. We still owe the clinic, and her medicine will finish today. And Grace still waited until now to contact me. She didn’t want to ask you for money, but she still needs help.
She wants me to work. Beatrice, arrange for the royal doctor to visit Grace today. My mother said we shouldn’t ask for charity. This isn’t charity. But Your mother cared for me when I was sick. She stayed awake with me after Alexander was born. She protected my privacy and stood beside me during some of the most difficult years of my life.
Allow me to stand beside her now. Thank you, Your Majesty. The doctor will examine her first, then we’ll decide what treatment she needs. Thank you. Do we have room for another junior member of staff? Yes, Your Majesty. Two junior maids left last month. Good. You may begin working here.
Thank you, Your Majesty. Mother, father. Alexander. What happened to you? Mother, please stand up. I’ll explain everything once we’re inside. Don’t ask me to stand. Tell me what happened. Why didn’t you tell us? I didn’t want both of you worrying before I got home.
Do you Do you feel this at all? A little? What happened? Daniel, what happened to him? There was a road accident. When did it happen? 3 months ago, your majesty. 3 months and no one informed me? The prince asked us not to. He wanted to explain everything himself.
You should have called me. Father, don’t blame Daniel. It was my decision. Your decision? You were injured and you decided your parents didn’t deserve to know? I knew both of you would panic. We’re your parents, Alexander. We had every right to panic. I know. I’m sorry.
Can you walk at all? Not properly. What do the doctors say? They said there’s nerve damage, but they aren’t certain whether it’s permanent. Our royal doctors will examine you immediately. I don’t care what reports reports you brought with you. All right. Where are the medical reports? They’re inside the prince’s luggage, your majesty.
Bring every document to my study. Yes, your majesty. The welcome ceremony is over. Please return inside and give my family some privacy. Let’s go inside. All right. I’ll take him. You should have told me. I know. Don’t say you know, because if you truly understood, you would never have kept something like this from us.
