"Your Highness," the doctor said with a bow as he entered the room.

Henry sat on his bed and waved the doctor over.

The doctor shut the door behind him and walked over.

"Did anyone see you come here?"

"Your Highness, I don't believe so. But please, there is a limit to how secretive we are about this. Are you quite sure nobody can know? It will become obvious soon enough."

Henry closed his eyes. "No, not yet. Like you said, soon enough."

"If I may speak freely, you probably aren't fooling anyone even now."

"Just tell me how bad."
