"Your Majesty, there is really no need. I am a physician myself. Perhaps I ate something bad for my stomach," Dorothy said. In truth, she felt pleased with herself, seeing the king so worried about her. It reminded her of the time when Anastasia was unconscious.
In her heart, she began to wonder if the king had been putting on an act all along. After all, during a moment of passion, he had even told her that he was pretending for the queen.
"Be obedient. Let the physician examine you. How many physicians can treat themselves?" King Edward was not at ease, especially seeing how pale her face looked. In any case, he could warn the physician, and no one would find out what had happened.
Hearing his insistence, Dorothy did not continue to persuade him. Secretly, she wanted everyone in the palace to know that she had not lost the king's favor.
Shortly after, a royal physician arrived at the chamber and examined her.
King Edward stood by and watched as the physician frowned.
