JAYDEN
I winced, trying to keep a straight face as the maids tended to my wounds. As per father's instructions, i had been flogged by the chief sentinel and to make matters worse, everyone was present to watch them humiliate me out there in public. My back was practically on fire and with each dab they took with the wet cloth, it sent millions of pain filled stings through my bloodstream.
This wouldn't have happened if it weren't for her. If she had just listened when i told her to come back with me then we would've avoided all this but she simply refused and now I'm paying the price for her stubbornness and disobedience.
"It hurts. Be careful with that." I warned the maid with a growl when i felt her press onto my wounds a little too hard. She apologized and continued with her treatment.
