"You were feverish." He began kissing her face again. "I need you well."
Isonei tried to turn, wanting to curl against him but he pressed her back to be flat on her back. She sighed and closed her eyes.
Teasingly, he whispered in her ear, "I finally have you obediently on your back and I can't enjoy you." Draeseth kissed her cheek as she opened her eyes and tried to smile at him. "Even looking pale and sickly you're the most exquisite woman." He brushed his lips over hers and frowned as a knock came at the door.
At his barked Torgan command the door opened and a pair of nervous looking maids entered with a tray holding a large bowl and a teapot with cups. They studiously avoided looking at the Prince in bed. Draeseth sat up and gently helped Isonei into a sitting position, having her lean back against him, before giving them another command. The bowl was brought and he took it from the maid, holding it for Isonei.
"Drink. Bone broth is healthy. The lamb bones were put on to simmer last night."
She sipped at it and one of the maids asked a tentative question. Draeseth answered with annoyance and the maids looked at the floor.
"Krouth said they were afraid of getting ill."
"They will stay until they are dismissed. I doubt they will fall ill, they have not been drenched repeatedly."
"Krouth thought it was the rain and the children."
"You were well enough to converse in the night?" He brought the bowl to her lips insistently.
After another sip she answered, "I woke up from a dream... of my father's house."
The bowl was brought to her lips again. "He told you, you were calling him Atha?"
"Yes." Isonei frowned as she took another sip, it would be easier to talk if he wasn't pushing the bowl to her mouth constantly.
He seemed to feel her exasperation, "I need to get as much into you as I can. You need some strength."
Isonei almost managed to finish the bowl before refusing to take any more. Draeseth let her lie back down and she was asleep in moments.
Why's she's getting sick now? Are their treatments making her better or worse? Can she escape if she needs to? It sounds as if she's going to need to soon since there was already mention of a convent. Don't they realize her connections are at the highest level in several countries? As Torgans, I bet the fact she's just a woman makes them think her feelings don't matter.
